2018 Barr memo counters Trump's claim that abuse of power is unimpeachable


Barr argued in the memo that Trump should not speak to investigators about his actions as president, even if subpoenaed. He based his recommendation "on a sweeping theory of executive power under which obstruction of justice laws do not apply to presidents, even if they misuse their authority over the Justice Department to block investigations into themselves or their associates for corrupt reasons," the New York Times writes.

However, Barr wrote that presidents who abuse their discretionary powers could be subject to penalties, including impeachment.

The memo posed that because the president "is ultimately subject to the judgment of Congress through the impeachment process means that the president is not the judge in his own cause."

Barr's a bright guy.  The matter before Congress is a matter of judgement, not law.

Barr is an ASSHOLE just like tRump.  They are 2 of a kind.

Wvit that would only apply if the courts upheld congressional subpoenas!

That isn't likely to happen as the DOJ must be the agency that makes the appeal on behalf of congress!

When Reagan was caught selling weapons to Mideastern terrorists to fund Central American terrorists it was Barr who got him off the hook. He too is a traitor.

[D2D]

Augie caught lying again!

When Reagan was selling weapons to Mideastern terrorists to fund Central American anti-communist rebels it was Lt. Colonel Oliver North who humiliated the democrats in Congress.
