He represents Trump, not the country. He should not be attorney general.
AG Barr flat-out LIED to the American people about the Mueller report’s incrimination of President Trump. He’s been outed as a total fraud. We can’t let Barr — or Trump — get away with such gross abuse of power. Barr must be impeached if he doesn’t resign first.

AG Barr is a disgrace, and his alarming efforts to suppress the Mueller report show that he's not a credible head of federal law enforcement. He should resign—and based on the actual facts in the Mueller report, Congress should begin impeachment proceedings against the President.

What do you do when the Attorney General of the United States…
— Eric Swalwell (@ericswalwell) May 2, 2019
1) Prejudges an investigation report?
2) Accuses the FBI of lying?
3) Lies to Congress?
4) Refuses to comply with a subpoena?
…all to protect the President? There's only one thing left to do. Impeach him.

"It is possible to mislead without lying. One can be dishonest before Congress without perjury. And one can convey sweeping untruths without substantial factual misstatement. This is what Barr has been doing since that first letter."https://t.co/ZraoOdWOPv

In the land of short memories: As Barr skips House hearing due to use of staff attorneys to ask questions, remember Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee brought in an outside attorney to question Christine Blasey Ford during Brett Kavanaugh confirmation.

Wow—Barr just now:

“I have been told during the break that a lesser kind of briefing, a security briefing that generally discusses general threats, apparently was given to the campaign in August”
Republicans have routinely questioned why Trump wasn’t briefed. We now know he was
Barr thinks the press has provoked President Donald Trump into obstructing justice, and that’s just fine. https://t.co/I6bmcWyteH

1. In this thread, I'll keep track of things Bill Barr says that aren't accurate.

No prosecutor worth their salt would make a decision about whether the President of the United States obstructed justice without reviewing the evidence. Attorney General Barr lacks all credibility. pic.twitter.com/WRY0mWb5ZI

Barr says Mueller’s “snitty” complaint about Barr’s mischaracterization of the report is because Mueller wants more credit for his work. They don’t get honor, restraint, and nuance, Mr. Mueller. It’s time to speak up. https://t.co/zY09gd5DqF

House Dems have subpoenaed Barr, are preparing to hold him in contempt of Congress, want to battle him in court, have called for his resignation/impeachment, suggested fining him and mused about a DOJ criminal referral. https://t.co/cylH43wxeW @politico w/ @kyledcheney
