Kamala Harris: Barr Has To Go Before Nadler’s Committee

EXCERPT:

HARRIS: “This is a moment that is testing the beauty of the design that our founders created for our democracy. Three independent coequal branches of government and a free independent press. And we’re getting beat up a little but I’d say the House is still standing and we’re still intact. But this point does highlight the importance of the role of the United States Congress for those checks and balances and he must go before not only the United States Senate which he did yesterday, Barr, but he’s got to go to Jerry Nadler’s committee. And I support whatever they need to do to get him there. Because we designed and the framers designed our democracy anticipating a day like today when we would need to make sure that each coindependent and coequal and independent branch holds each other accountable. And there’s still a lot of questions for Barr to answer. And I support that. I also support and believe and I’m calling for the office of inspector general to investigate what’s going on in the Justice Department, because clearly we have an attorney general of the United States who is not conducting himself with the people in mind. He thinks of himself as being the attorney for the president and on an issue such as obstruction of justice, potentially by the president of the United States, if we don’t have a neutral actor in the attorney general then somebody else is going to have to act."
