Has anyone heard from attorney general Barr lately?

[left-of-center2012]

Has he disappeared or is he hiding under a rock?

[Atticus]

1. No, he scurried into a hole in the baseboard several days ago and no one's seen him since. nt

[CottonBear]

2. Undoubtedly, he's up to no good, whatever he's doing.

12. +1 Something nefarious, no doubt.

3. Fearing impeachment, perhaps?

When the next Congress is sworn in on 3 January? Democratic Party majorities in both Houses.

Bill Barr has much to answer for, and he will be held to account. Or maybe he got the COVID?

4. 67 votes

It's the same as the presidency - requires 67 votes to remove. Not happening.

Besides, the only penalty would be removal from office. That's not holding him accountable for anything.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

6. It takes that..

But I can dream.

7. So the new congress is sworn in 17 days before the presidential inauguration?

I didn't realize that. Does that mean if both House and Senate are D majority, that Trump can't do anything after Jan 3?

10. executive orders are possible but ...

Usually the new congress will start hearings on proposed cabinet type positions and others that require approval if I remember correctly.

The Dems can start work on legislation in Biden's agenda and then wait until Jan 20 or 21 to vote to prevent a veto. (statehood for PR and DC would both be good ideas to hold hearings) as it might affect apportionment when the census results are finalized.

There will not be any more crazy judges approved if we win the Senate.

5. He will come out on February 2nd nt

9. As long as we can dream.

The new AG, Hillary Clinton will LOCK him up, along with the others.

[left-of-center2012]

14. "The new AG, Hillary Clinton"

More qualified choices would be the current Attorney Generals of CA and NY.

[WhiteTara]

11. he's running around the country and

fomenting revolution with sheriff's departments and giving them money for it.

[crickets]

15. Nailed it. nt

13. Only thing I want to hear about him is:

"We, the jury, find the defendant GUILTY..."
