Let's talk about AG Barr.

Should he resign? Yes.
Is he going to? No.
Should he be impeached? Probably.
Would that succeed? Not a chance in hell.

So let's talk about what Congress can do about it.
Bill Barr is the most corrupt Attorney General in American history. He has no business serving as the Attorney General of the United States. For starters, yes, we need to investigate him.
Schumer has already sent a letter to DOJ’s inspector general (the agency’s internal watchdog that investigates fraud within the department) demanding an investigation into Barr’s misconduct. Every senator should be on the record supporting an investigation into Barr.
The House is also set to begin their own investigation and Barr will testify on 3/31. politico.com/news/2020/02/1…
But there's more that Congress could do to stop Barr from further corrupting his office and the Department of Justice: defund his office through a process called recission until he recuses himself from any investigation related to Donald Trump or his associates. #DefundBarr
The asks for your members of Congress are simple. Let's review them.
For Democratic reps, tell them you have their back in investigating ongoing misconduct on the part of Barr, and demand they support defunding Barr’s office until he and all other Trump appointees at the department recuse themselves from any Trump-related investigations.
For Republican reps, tell them it’s time to finally stand up for our democracy. Demand that they support investigations into Barr, and demand they support defunding Barr’s office until he and other Trump appointees recuse themselves from any Trump-related investigations.
Here's a script to make your calls with your representative easy peasy. indivisible.org/demand-your-re…
For Democratic senators, demand that they support investigations into Bill Barr’s misconduct, and publicly support defunding Barr’s office until he recuses himself from any investigation or prosecution relating to Trump or any of Trump’s co-conspirators.
For Republican senators, demand that they support investigations into Barr’s misconduct, and publicly support defunding Barr’s office until he recuses himself from any investigation or prosecution relating to Trump or any of Trump’s co-conspirators.
Here's the script to make those two calls (to both your senators). indivisible.org/demand-your-se…
This fight is going to heat up next week and we want you to be ready. Tell us you're all in to #defundBarr and get everything you need to take action here. defundbarr.org
P.S. We're also going to hold accountable every Republican senator who made this crisis of our democracy possible. We've sent 200,000+ text messages to build our ground game in AZ and CO already, with more to come in additional states. Sign up: paybackproject.org.
