Not only should AG Bill Barr recuse himself....

....He should also be subpoenaed to appear before the Intel Committee and explain why his name came up four or five times in the transcript with the Ukrainian president?

Not only that, he should answer how many times he had been contacted about this matter?

He should be in charge of no investigations at this time.

And what is his investigation predicated upon? How many witnesses does he have?

He should recuse himself immediately.

I think his name was dropped seven times in the limited edition of Trump's phone conversation. I think he should be incarcerated. And I know that it is essential for us to win the White House in 2020, or none of the administration's many felons will face legal consequence.

...wherein he recuses himself, and then he should arrest himself for criminal conspiracies/crimes and be handcuffed/perp-walked off the set of the press conference.

That would be, if he had a shred of ethics, honor and credibility, which he doesn't.

It's predicated on Little Donnie Trump's insane wish to prove Russia didn't have anything to do with his victory in 2016, and to "prove" democrats were behind the Russian interference (to help Hillary lose, I guess?) and the Mueller investigation. You can't make shit like this up! And Bill Barr is up to his neck in this ridiculous bullshit. He should recuse himself, but we all know that rules and propriety are for chumps. Let's not forget, Barr auditioned for Trump with his 19 page unsolicited diatribe to the Department of Justice when he wanted to be appointed AG. The fix has been in since the first minute Barr was confirmed along party lines in the Senate. He's the Roy Cohn Trump wanted since his disastrous inauguration.

* He should be subpoenaed REGARDLESS of whether or not he recuses himself

* If he refuses to testify, but refuses to recuse, his conflict of interest will he thrown into sharp relief

* if he agrees to testify, but refuses to recuse, again : his conflict of interest will thrown into sharp relief.

Whichever path he takes, his corruption is readily and obviously apparent.

So go there. NOW.
