Democrats have a duty to use this time of transition to define how they will respond during a Biden presidency to Republican lying, obstruction, and blatant disregard for the rule of law. And immediately impeaching Attorney General William Barr, who on Monday authorized federal prosecutors to examine baseless allegations of voting and vote tabulation irregularities before states move to certify results in the 2020 presidential election, is the place to start. As Barr and President Trump promote legal chaos in a subversive challenge to an election result that has gone against them, they are kicking at the essential underpinnings of the Constitution and the republic that extends from it. The Constitution outlines a remedy, and it ought to be employed, immediately and unapologetically.
US Senator Elizabeth Warren was right to argue on Monday night that Attorney General Bill Barr is a corrupt Trump henchman who should have been impeached months ago. With the attorney general now moving to upend an election, the argument for impeachment is even stronger.
