AG Barr Seeks Foreign Assistance to Discredit Mueller

It is now Attorney General Barr's highest priority to travel the world seeking evidence to impugn the motives of the investigators who uncovered and reported on Russian interference in the 2016 election. Manifestly, neither Mr. Barr nor his presidential client have any interest in preventing ongoing and further meddling by Russia in the forthcoming election despite dire warnings from the intelligence community and Robert Mueller. Indeed, Mr. Trump has made it clear that he would welcome such illicit aid.

With the integrity of our election in peril and the foundation of our democracy gravely threatened, the Democrats in Congress must take on the responsibility shirked by our Chief Executive. They must empanel a special blue-ribbon commission whose mission is to devise measures to counter the assault on our political process and insure the integrity of our elections. In other words, take the protective steps one would have expected from our president and attorney general who appear more interested in giving comfort to Russia than safeguarding America.
