BREAKING MSNBC: Rep. Swalwell said next step is to Impeach Barr

[berni_mccoy]

He said Barr has committed crimes and is actively obstructing justice. That this is the next step that House Democrats *will* take.

Swalwell is being interviewed right now.

1. Make it so

[onetexan]

28. yes, the sooner the better!!

[EveHammond13]

2. Pre-filled Virginia Bar complaint against Bill Barr, print and send

Link to tweet

[Maeve]

3. Get'em!

[dajoki]

4. I hope its after dRump n/t

[forgotmylogin]

22. It'd be funnier if were only a couple of Mooches

between appointment and impeachment. Like 3-4?

[lagomorph777]

36. I think Nixon would still own the record for most AGs per week.

[Azathoth]

5. I'll believe it when I see it nt

[TomJulie]

26. I'm With You On That Azathoth

I'll believe it when I see it because impeaching Barr or Trump is nothing but a pipe dream. It will NOT happen. We're gonna have to beat them at the ballot box. There's no other way...IMO!!

Michelle Obama - Our best chance!!

[MH1]

6. I like it. I had a similar thought.

I feel validated that Swalwell is saying the same thing.

I think the House should take on WHOEVER is clearly violating the law. Barr looks like a good candidate to be first.

[ScratchCat]

7. Food for thought:

How could Barr stay involved in any "Mueller investigations" if he is currently under impeachment for lying to Congress regarding Mueller's investigation? It looks like a de facto forced recusal measure.

[Chin music]

8. Misson accomplished for the gop.

They made impeachment about barr and not trump. Barr doesnt give a crap. He'll replace Napalitano on Fox. Meanwhile none of the peoples legislation will go through the Senate, and putins president will continue to stymie any effort to correct voting issues, and hope something dreadful happens to RBG. God forbid.

[watoos]

10. Impeaching Barr may stop him from

dropping the investigations that Mueller handed off to the SDNY and other jurisdictions.

[Chin music]

11. Maybe. Why not do both?

At this point, what's to lose? According to reports those handed off cases were already set to go. What's the hold-up?

[DeminPennswoods]

30. I think impeachment proceedings against Barr

actually will benefit Dems. There will be a lot of information to come out that won't be favorable to Trump and will help any potential impeachment hearings against him.

[patphil]

41. When you are dealing with organized crime you don't just target the top guy

Go after both of them.

[Chin music]

42. Both is good.

Barr or trump? They WANT a binary choice right now. (Binary being his word of the day.) Let's make history and do a two for one?

[AnotherMother4Peace]

9. As an American, I support this - not Dem nor Repub. Trump is trying to neutralize Congress & set

himself up as a strong man ruler - a dictator. He is surrounding himself with people he rewards, punishes, uses. Nothing is too low or traitorous to accomplish his pro-Putin goals.

[DavidDvorkin]

12. Will take, or could take but probably won't?

[MrsCoffee]

13. That's my Rep!

He and Kamala are making me so proud!

[anarch]

14. sounds good to me; let's start that process

Enough is enough, and we passed that point quite some while ago.

[RKP5637]

15. It's time to take really BOLD steps! The R's have spun totally out of control in a democracy.

Severe push back must be done. Otherwise, the US is well on its way to a failed democracy 2020 or not. Bit by bit, Trump is becoming more and more emboldened and authoritative as he works on his wannabee dictatorship. We've seen this pattern of behaviour in other countries. It MUST BE STOPPED NOW. Impeachment proceedings against Barr IMO is a good beginning. Raise the flag for Democracy!!!

[Chin music]

20. Sal-ute!

[world wide wally]

16. No shit!

[wryter2000]

17. Start the hearings immediately

Enough dragging our feet.

We can start with legal experts who will come willingly and testify to the crimes that are right out in the open. Then invite Barr to defend himself. Then cross examine him.

[pdsimdars]

18. That's what I want to hear.

[Mme. Defarge]

19. Damn the torpedoes,

full speed ahead!!!

[Karadeniz]

21. Swalwell is such a good guy! ❤him! Too bad he's running for prez at a time when we have

such a stellar field and he's so busy in the house trying to keep this country out of the toilet.

[blue-wave]

23. Book Em Danno

[ancianita]

24. A preview of what Trump will face.

[Quemado]

29. Exactly - impeach Barr as a test

[magicarpet]

25. Go get em..... show all these Fascists the exit door.

America is not a Fascist's Theocratic Oligarchic playpen.

[yaesu]

27. to impeach I think you need the Senate to vote with a supermajority & we know that won't happen but

we must try as it is a constitutional oversight mandate.

[ooky]

33. That's to convict. Impeachment is just the House process and

simple majority.

[watoos]

31. I don't know,

impeaching Barr may take the spotlight off Trump.

[OnDoutside]

32. Send a Criminal Referral for lying to Congress too.

[edbermac]

34. Note to Dems: Shit or get off the pot.

Getting tired of this crap.

[Firestorm49]

37. Right when we thought this thing couldn't get any more nuts.......

[MontanaMama]

38. Get on with it.

Our republic is bleeding out.

[Raster]

39. This is the LOGICAL NEXT STEP, and House Democrats need to push this through...

...If Barf* is not impeached, we might as well just hand the farm over to tRump* now.

[patphil]

40. It's time the gloves came off

Barr's has politicized the office of Attorney General.
He is aiding and abetting Trump's obstruction of justice with some of his own.
He's about as slippery and mendacious as they come.
Time to call him to task for it.
