White House critics said Wednesday that Attorney General William Barr should be impeached following news that the Justice Department declined to investigate President Donald Trump's July 25 phone call with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky.
In late August, according to the Washington Post, intelligence officials referred Trump's call with Zelensky to the Justice Department as a possible campaign finance violation.

A White House memo (pdf) on the call released Wednesday confirmed reports that Trump asked Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and offered Barr's services.
"I am also going to have Attorney General Barr call and we will get to the bottom of it," Trump told Zelensky. "I'm sure you will figure it out."
The Justice Department ultimately decided not to investigate the conversation. In a statement Wednesday, DOJ spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said the department "reviewed the official record of the call and determined, based on the facts and applicable law, that there was no campaign finance violation and that no further action was warranted."
Buzzfeed, citing an anonymous senior Justice Department official, reported that the DOJ's Criminal Division determined "the information discussed on the call didn't amount to a 'thing of value' that could be quantified, which is what the campaign finance laws required."
Kupec said Trump "has not asked the Attorney General to contact Ukraine—on this or any other matter."
The Justice Department reportedly advised Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire to not release to Congress a whistleblower complaint involving Trump's Ukraine call.
Rick Hasan, professor of law and political science at the University of California, Irvine, called the Justice Department's conclusion "totally wrong."
"Even [former Special Counsel Robert] Mueller concluded opposition research is a thing of value for campaign finance purposes," Hasan tweeted. "Terrible implications for our democracy if DOJ is saying that the solicitation of opposition research by a candidate from foreign governments is totally legal and totally cool."
Noah Bookbinder, executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, said the Justice Department's refusal to investigate the call "raises new questions."
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) said the memo on the U.S. president's call "is damning for Donald Trump and for those involved, including AG Barr." Lieu echoed House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler's (D-N.J.) demand that Barr recuse himself from all matters related to the Ukraine conversation.
The memo, tweeted Lieu, "confirms that Donald Trump requested a foreign power to investigate his political opponent, and it shows he wanted the Justice Department to also investigate his opponent, all to benefit his campaign."
"This is soooo illegal," Lieu said.

The spinning that’s been done by the president’s defenders over the last 24 hours since this very damaging whistleblower complaint came out ― the spinning is not surprising, but it is astonishing and, I think, deeply misleading

Trump's call with Zelensky was not a crime. We need the dems to say what impeachable crime was committed,
Dershowitz says it was not a crime. What legal expert says a crime was committed???? The DOJ says it's not, so it's not. So its another bullshit HOAX.

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) said the memo on the U.S. president's call "is damning for Donald Trump and for those involved, including AG Barr." Lieu echoed House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler's (D-N.J.) demand that Barr recuse himself from all matters related to the Ukraine conversation.
The memo, tweeted Lieu, "confirms that Donald Trump requested a foreign power to investigate his political opponent, and it shows he wanted the Justice Department to also investigate his opponent, all to benefit his campaign."
"This is soooo illegal," Lieu said.

/—-/ What’s to investigate? Everyone can read the transcript—- or you mean investigate by reading between the lines and just making up dialogue like Schiff did. Got it.

Bill Barr's done, stick a fork in the corrupt clown.

Barr was rogue from day one of his tenure which raises the question of whether Barr was receiving benefits for selling himself into political prostitution.

Barr is rogue and is betraying the American people and should be prosecuted.

'Impeach Barr, Too': Critics Demand Attorney General's Ouster for Refusing to Investigate Trump-Ukraine Call

'Impeach Barr, Too': Critics Demand Attorney General's Ouster for Refusing to Investigate Trump-Ukraine Call
"Terrible implications for our democracy if DOJ is saying that the solicitation of opposition research by a candidate from foreign governments is totally legal and totally cool."

White House critics said Wednesday that Attorney General William Barr should be impeached following news that the Justice Department declined to investigate President Donald Trump's July 25 phone call with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky.
In late August, according to the Washington Post, intelligence officials referred Trump's call with Zelensky to the Justice Department as a possible campaign finance violation.

A White House memo (pdf) on the call released Wednesday confirmed reports that Trump asked Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and offered Barr's services.
"I am also going to have Attorney General Barr call and we will get to the bottom of it," Trump told Zelensky. "I'm sure you will figure it out."
The Justice Department ultimately decided not to investigate the conversation. In a statement Wednesday, DOJ spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said the department "reviewed the official record of the call and determined, based on the facts and applicable law, that there was no campaign finance violation and that no further action was warranted."
Buzzfeed, citing an anonymous senior Justice Department official, reported that the DOJ's Criminal Division determined "the information discussed on the call didn't amount to a 'thing of value' that could be quantified, which is what the campaign finance laws required."
Kupec said Trump "has not asked the Attorney General to contact Ukraine—on this or any other matter."
The Justice Department reportedly advised Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire to not release to Congress a whistleblower complaint involving Trump's Ukraine call.
Rick Hasan, professor of law and political science at the University of California, Irvine, called the Justice Department's conclusion "totally wrong."
"Even [former Special Counsel Robert] Mueller concluded opposition research is a thing of value for campaign finance purposes," Hasan tweeted. "Terrible implications for our democracy if DOJ is saying that the solicitation of opposition research by a candidate from foreign governments is totally legal and totally cool."
Noah Bookbinder, executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, said the Justice Department's refusal to investigate the call "raises new questions."
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) said the memo on the U.S. president's call "is damning for Donald Trump and for those involved, including AG Barr." Lieu echoed House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler's (D-N.J.) demand that Barr recuse himself from all matters related to the Ukraine conversation.

Schiff is not only delusional but probably mentally ill. I do not say that lightly

Newsflash...that WASN'T a "transcript"


It was a MEMO not unlike Billy the Bagman's "no collusion" memo

That the "safe" part of a thirty minute phone call...and it was damning
