ruling out impeachment
These 7 senators have RULED OUT impeachment. That means they don't want to hear evidence. It means they don't care if DJT is a lying traitor. They simply don't care. How does this country recover from that level of depravity in government? pic.twitter.com/uxF5DdsWol

Barr – DOJ – criminal investigation
Special Counsel investigation resulted in:
-34 indictments
-8 convictions/guilty pleas
-A finding that Russia interfered in US elections in a sweeping & systematic mannerAG Barr of @TheJusticeDept is now essentially trying to say that none of that should have happened. Really? https://t.co/1yF3pMI24M

and
considering they can’t charge a single person without opening themselves to a disastrous discovery process it’s a sure bet this is just a perfunctory avenue to release what will amount to an even more incompetently nonsensical version of the nunes memo https://t.co/6nK49lOL1p

move outside executive
Barr proves to me that we may need to move DOJ outside of the Executive Branch and into a space that the Fed occupies. There's nothing in the Constitution that talks about a Department of Justice being required to be an executive agency if I'm right
