Washington (CNN)Sen. Kamala Harris sent a letter to the Justice Department's inspector general on Friday, requesting an investigation into whether Attorney General William Barr has acted upon requests or suggestions from President Donald Trump or other White House officials to investigate the President's "perceived enemies."

In a letter addressed to Department of Justice Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz, the Democratic presidential candidate cites the findings in special counsel Robert Mueller's report and Barr's Wednesday congressional testimony as the reasons for her letter.
"Such inappropriate requests by the President have been well documented," Harris wrote. "Special Counsel Mueller ... documented a disturbing pattern of behavior on the part of the President -- repeated attempts to target his perceived opponents."


This could get very interesting. I am really glad she is doing this.

[elleng]

1. GOOD!

Her experience as a PROSECUTOR is significant.

[Andy823]

4. Yes she is an experienced prosecutor

and I believe she would make a great President!

[guillaumeb]

2. The way that Harris dissected Barr in the eharing was brilliant.

She is a star.

[Andy823]

3. Yes and that star

will start shinning brighter the more people get to know her, and see just how "electable" she really is.

[guillaumeb]

5. I am still undecided,

but she would make a great candidate.

So intelligent.

[Andy823]

6. I like her

and I also like Inslee. Kind of a tie.

[Ligyron]

12. I'd happily vote for her.

Actually, I can't think of anyone running as a Democrat I'd not happily vote for.

[gristy]

7. I imagine she already has credible information that Barr has indeed done this.

So, yes, this may get very interesting.

[juxtaposed]

8. She is calculated and right to the point, I was very impressed with her.

[DesertRat]

9. Yes!

[Hassler]

10. I like that she has the killer instinct when it comes to Nazi hunting.

I'm open to to her for prez, but she's a proven slam-dunk for AG.

[prodigitalson]

11. Yes. Every opportunity for the House to excercise power they must use.

Kamala understands this and has the will to follow through. Trump is straight up seizing dictatorial powers before our eyes.

[rurallib]

13. Brilliant!

sure glad she is on our side!

[Andy823]

19. So am I

She has what it takes to go after not only Barr, but will also be able to take on trump in the debates.

[spooky3]

14. She's on TRMS now nt

17. Jut caught her interview. Harris came across very well!

[yaesu]

15. So, the Attorney General of the US is on record as saying that if you believe you are innocent of

a crime that you are being investigated for you can shut down that investigation. This will now be judicial precedent.

[RobertDevereaux]

16. A superb move!

[Politicub]

18. Yes!! Go, Kamala, go!

[Hortensis]

20. Good. Imagine there's little AG Harris doesn't know

or guess about what Trump-Barr are up to and how they would be doing it.
