BARR MUST RESIGN
Bill Barr is a believer in the unitary presidency, the theory that the president has complete power over the executive branch, including the judiciary department; immunity from oversight; as well as other powers in direct violation of Article II of our Constitution and its framers' intent. We need legislation to uphold the independence of the judiciary, now protected only by norms easily violated by Trump and his AG henchman. And Barr should resign over his interference in the Stone trial, for lying about the Mueller report, and for using the judiciary for vendettas against Trump's opponents - even Barr is ashamed of himself, hence his embarrassment over Trump's tweets which reveal him to be the Trump tool he is.
