1/ Uhhh... William Barr actively worked to suppress a whistleblower report in which he was implicated.

Barr's DOJ prevented the IG from delivering the report to Congress.

2/ Barr's DOJ released a statement claiming the report was based on hearsay and that there was an indication of political bias. Those statements became the central talking points of interests defending Trump's actions for 24 hours prior to the release of the "transcript" memo.

3/ It is currently being reported that Barr played an active role in the efforts to suppress this report. He would have cleared relevant DOJ statements. Barr was one of the subjects of the underlying phone conversation.

4/ Barr was named as a potential co-conspirator in the whistleblower report.

5/ Rather than immediately follow the law, and recuse himself, he, AGAIN, interpreted the law to his benefit, and created a window in which to implement a strategy of using his department to create a narrative undermining the contents of a report, in which he was named.

6/ William Barr has singlehandedly destroyed public trust in the Justice Department. This man is working above the law for the personal and political benefit, and protection, of himself and the President.

7/ This is blatant #corruption. Action needs to be taken to remove him from office immediately.
