1/3 It is hard to overstate just how dangerous this is. President Trump believes the “rule of law” = “rule of Trump.” He is lawless and presently unchecked by both his enablers in the Senate and the Attorney General.
2/3 And AG Barr’s choice of words is deceptive. He omits mention of DOJ intake or investigations (e.g., Giuliani disinfo & Durham probe). And omits Trump pressing DOJ to initiate criminal charges (too many examples to list). Barr must testify UNDER OATH.
3/3 I said during his confirmation that Barr’s long-held views on executive power would be weaponized by President Trump — a man who derides and rejects any limits on his authority. We are now seeing the fallout from this dangerous duo.
