RESOLUTION Calling for the resignation and disbarment of United States Attorney General William P. Barr, and for other purposes.

Whereas, on March 24, 2019, United States Attorney General William P. Barr deliberately mischaracterized the “Report On The Investigation Into Russian Interference In The 2016 Presidential Election” issued by Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller, III;

Whereas, on March 25, 2019, at Attorney General Barr’s direction, the Department of Justice ceased defending the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111–148), a duly enacted law under the United States Constitution;

Whereas, on April 24, 2019, Attorney General Barr directed then-Acting Assistant Attorney General John Gore of the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division to defy a subpoena from the House Oversight and Reform Committee pertaining to its investigation of the 2020 census;

Whereas, on July 8, 2019, Attorney General Barr deliberately mischaracterized the legal reasoning behind the Trump administration’s desire to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census and abruptly removed career Department of Justice attorneys in an unprecedented attempt to undermine a ruling by the Supreme Court of the United States;

Whereas, on July 16, 2019, Attorney General Barr ignored the recommendation of the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division by declining to bring charges against the New York Police Department officer in the death of Eric Garner;

Whereas, on July 17, 2019, the United States House of Representatives voted to hold Attorney General Barr in criminal contempt of Congress for his refusal to comply with a duly-issued subpoena and deliberate obstruction of congressional oversight authority;

Whereas, on December 4, 2019, Attorney General Barr threatened the withholding of police protection from communities that do not show “support and respect” to law enforcement, a statement that has been interpreted as being directed at communities of color that protest police violence;

Whereas Attorney General Barr has perpetuated and promulgated conspiracy theories that have been repeatedly debunked by United States law enforcement and intelligence agencies, including before a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, where he referred to legitimate and legal law enforcement surveillance as “spying”, and while traveling abroad to meet with foreign intelligence officials where he has continued to spread this dis­in­for­ma­tion;

Whereas Attorney General Barr has used taxpayer funds for international travel to seek foreign assistance in investigating a domestic political rival of the President of the United States;

Whereas Attorney General Barr has sought to undermine the Department of Justice inspector general’s report “Review of Four FISA Applications and Other Aspects of the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane Investigation”, regarding the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s investigation of the Trump campaign; and

Whereas Attorney General Barr has refused to recuse himself from any Ukraine-related matters in which he is allegedly involved: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the House of Representatives—

(1) condemns United States Attorney General William P. Barr for his despicable comments and actions;

(2) calls on United States Attorney General William P. Barr to resign;

(3) calls on the Virginia State Bar to remove United States Attorney General William P. Barr from its rolls;

(4) calls on the New York State Bar Association to remove United States Attorney General William P. Barr from its rolls;

They will stop at nothing. People need to step up and vote them out. Why aren't they focusing on their districts, helping to improve their communities, helping to create more jobs, and get people off of welfare? Instead, it's just pure evil behavior because they lost an election. And yes, they are nuts.

The Democrats likely turned Supreme Justice Kavanaugh into Judge Dredd with a grudge after pulling this sort of shit with him.

I don't think making the Attorney General into a sworn enemy will be a smart move for the Democrats.

It's a bit like being pulled over by a police officer for having a broken taillight, winding down the window and asking "What's you're problem, you fat fucking pig??!!".

This is the legislative assembly being turned into a howling mob by the actions of the Speaker, who has sanctioned their intemperance during her first tenure in the post under the Obama regime. We've already entered the dangerous phenomenon of 'show trials'. Anyone who doesn't believe there's a very short step between this and public execution platforms obviously isn't reading history. "It simply cannot happen here!" were some of the last words spoken in Parisian drawing rooms in 1792. Just remember : the hero of the American Revolution, the Marquis de Lafayette, was arrested by the French Revolutionaries.

And they think the Senate would vote for the bill?

And they think President Trump would sign it into law?

I believe they don't think they need the Senate or POTUS. For years, they've been doing whatever they want selling out the country, committing the worst forms of treason, with impunity. "The Senate?! We don't need no stinkin' Senate!"

And besides, the Senate and whichever POTUS was usually in cahoots, aiding and abetting. They seem to think nothing along those lines has changed. I'm not yet entirely convinced they're wrong.

They think in terms of global governance: somehow, it's what the UN wants that matters, and the American people will be able to do nothing about it! I'm not sure how or why that'll work if we have a POTUS, administration and military that are on our side . . . unless, of course, we don't!

They do not need those. It is about suggestive narrative control. The dems can now defend themeselves with this, because the MSM will paint it as legally binding.

My guess is that this is some sort of preemptiv damage control.

They gotta keep up their narrative all the way to the graveyard. Senators were correct when they called it a "scorched earth" policy. Lies to an infinite exponential. Jail them all!

For "debunked" "conspiracy theories" and "spreading misinfo."

Banana Republic.
