Letter: Impeaching Barr the best path to remove Trump

Impeaching Barr the bestpath to remove Trump

Nancy Pelosi and House leaders are willfully ignoring the clearest path for removal of the justice-obstructing Donald Trump: It’s the impeachment of U.S. Attorney General William Barr.

Barr, the highest prosecutor in the U.S., is indubitably guilty of felony contempt of Congress and conspiratorial collusion with the White House to undermine constitutional law. Ignoring subpoenas to testify and to produce the full Mueller report, and failing to enforce and prosecute Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin’s violation of the valid subpoena to produce Trump’s tax returns are all serious crimes that encourage lawlessness and impunity.

The public impeachment hearings against Barr for flagrant criminal conduct exposes and dooms the current administration.

Failure of the Senate to remove Barr from office could also doom some Senate colluders in the 2020 election.
