Barbara McQuade: The Court of Public Opinion Could Cause Bill Barr to Resign

‘We need to continue to push this narrative, this accurate telling of all of the things that William Barr has done’

RUSH EXCERPT:

MCQUADE: “I think the Senate has demonstrated their reluctance to impeach William Barr or to remove him, even if the house were to impeach him. I think it is the court of public opinion, as the congresswoman said, that could create sufficient pressure that would cause William Barr to resign. In 2007 you may recall the Attorney general then was Alberto Gonzalez. It became disclosed that he was behind an effort to remove U.S. Attorneys for political reasons, if they weren’t sufficiently, quote, loyal bushies and were hiring people at the department of justice based on their responses to political activity and affiliations and beliefs. Once that became known publicly, there was public pressure that drove him out of office. What William Barr has done is so much worse than that episode, but I think we need to continue to push this narrative, this accurate telling of all of the things that William Barr has done in an effort to create sufficient public pressure to force him to resign.”
