WASHINGTON - U.S. Attorney General William Barr deserves to be impeached over the firing of a federal prosecutor whose office had been investigating President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer but the effort would be a “waste of time,” a leading Democratic lawmaker said on Sunday.
Nadler’s comments on Sunday underscore the challenges Democrats on Capitol Hill face in trying to rein in Barr with a Senate dominated by Republicans who are wary of criticizing Trump before the Nov. 3 presidential election. U.S. Representative Adam Schiff, the lead prosecutor in Trump’s impeachment, told NBC’s “Meet the Press” the motivation for firing Berman was suspect, “given the pattern and practice of both the president in seeking to use the justice system to reward friends, punish enemies, protect people he likes, and Bill Barr’s willingness to carry that water for the president.”
The dispute began late Friday when Barr announced Berman was stepping down and would be replaced by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Jay Clayton. Berman refused to resign until the Senate confirmed his successor, and said his office’s investigations would continue. On Saturday evening, at least 135 former federal prosecutors weighed into the political storm with a petition blasting Trump and Barr for “undermining confidence in our criminal justice system.”
Nice 👍 LEXUS COMMERCIAL.
RepJerryNadler You and the rest of your liberal cronies have done nothing but try to get rid of a sitting president since before he was elected. Why? Are you afraid that he doesn't play the game as you and all your doings will be exposed?
But we’d be wide open to impeaching Nadler
Yeah, that's what they want, a circus of sympathy.
I’m beginning to think Putin has the Democrats in his pockets too. I’ve just never witnessed such spinelessness.
I don’t care. I’ve got time. Impeach him.
Blatant corruption
He's a expert at wasting time is he
That was the case for Trump's impeachment, so why is this different? Or were they all still naive enough to have believed then it would be a fair trial?
Barr is the best thing to happen to this country. Too many politicians got away with breaking laws and Barr is a straight shooter!!
Wrong, the Constitution will block your fake impeachment. ElephantAss
That is no reason not to pursue impeachment, RepJerryNadler. Forget about what GOP may/may not do. Do what you are supposed to do!!!
Doing the right thing is NEVER a waste of time. RepJerryNadler ImpeachBarr Vote BLM Covid TrumpDictatorship BuyMaryTrumpsBook Resist
That's crazy. That's what you're there for. That's why we bust our ass to give you the house. He deserves impeachment. What does schiff think? I don't think you're up to that job.
House should go on the record and impeach Barr. Then, the Republicans will have to go on record defending him. — Note DNC CNNPolitics
SenateGOP YOU WILL PAY, just you wait.
I’m sure the SenateGOP would make as much a sham out of Barr's hearing as they did Trump's. senatemajldr must be voted out.
Looks like the Republican Senate is going down with the ship. They’re so brave ... not.
Off course just like trump lol no wrong doing according to your own party
The Repubs and MOSCOW MITCH are responsible for the Corrupt actions of tRUMP and Barr... if Americans are ignorant enough to support tRUMP freeing criminals and yet citizens suffer harsh sentences so be it.😡
RepJerryNadler, doing your job is never a waste of time. Merely taking the right steps get you somewhere. Wallow in complicity... you get paid either way right? What reason would you have to hold anyone accountable? Ya’ll have made Congress into a joke. A corrupt ugly joke.
Jerry is a waste of time anyway
Try anyway. Get it in the books.
What a fucking joke
Who was that masked man? Is that a silver bullet? The silver bullet to take down these monsters is voter registration. Don’t be distracted! Register to vote, make sure you are & get your ass out to vote. You can be rushing to the ballot box or become Russian after the election.
Won’t have to drag Lyinking from the White House since he will be in Russia seeking asylum and failing miserably.
Wasn’t there an attorney general that tried to sabotage a presidency? He wasn’t impeached so the bar is pretty high for an impeachable offense.
Trump then told Erdogan he would take care of things, explaining that the Southern District prosecutors were not his people, but were Obama people, a problem that would be fixed when they were replaced by his people.
Democrats obsessed with impachment.
Imagine one year from now? And the total are 3 1/2 years LA CUENTA REGRESIVA A LA GRAN TRIBULACION ESTA YA CONTANDO LOS DIAS Y NO HAY REGRESO. LA BESTIA QUE NO ES MAS QUE EL VIRUS TIENE MUCHAS CABEZAS VENENOZAS. EL SELLO QUE NO ES MAS QUE EL SERTIFICADO LOS ATICRISTOS LOS RICOS
Try it and see. Put them on the record for history. See how Susan Collins votes.
your job is not to decide whether you should or shouldn’t, your job is to impeach when high crimes have been committed against america by those sworn to protect america FFS
Nadler, the guy that knew there was zero collusion wants to impeach, please resign!!
Literally what else is he doing
Just start an inquiry
JerryNadler You were hesitant the first time around This won’t be a waste of time. We are spiraling down the drain right now. You need to put the stopper in. ImpeachBarrNOW

You mean to tell us that doing your damn job is a waste of time RepJerryNadler
It’s sad but he’s absolutely right

NO it would prove WHO is In charge?and What are the laws Rule of the DOJ and United State of America american citizen need to learn.before NOV 2020 N!
Wasting taxpayers money on investigating a Presidents friends and associates only because you don’t like him is criminal in itself
He may be an Angel of the Lord.
The solution:
GET YOUR CRAP TOGETHER RepJerryNadler, it’s not a waste of time!! Please do your dang job even if it means that the SenateGOP won’t do theirs. Let the record show that they’re failing to do their sworn duty.
Just to funny! You people are idiots!

Force these Senators onto the pages of history. Future generations should know who was complicit in Trump’s dismantling of the democratic framework of their country. Impeach!
The country is safer with congress out of the way !
RepJerryNadler saying that it is a waste of time is BS. If you have rules and don’t enforce them, they are meaningless. Impeaching Trump was worth it. Going after Barr is worth it. You know his agenda; doing nothing cedes power to the Executive Branch. Shame
Good lawyers are always up for the fight.
Congress, go home , you all are a waste of time !
Madam Speaker do something.
it would be a massive waste of time just like the fake impeachment by that crazy lady Democrat.
I do not agree, Chairman Nadler. No matter how little time remains before the election, our values are too important to ignore this egregious violation of our system of justice. No one is above the law.
RepJerryNadler SpeakerPelosi TeamPelosi HouseDemocrats you cannot give up before making an effort to kick this corrupted, ignorant, inmoral, puppet out of office! That’s not representing us, the people who’s demanding at least to try it and impeach Barr. ImpeachBarr
Dems want Trump to continue. He’s their best waeapon to do all the shit they don’t want to do 🧐
Although one man is gone the DA’s office is still able to pursue and complete the investigation is it not?
Do your job and Impeach Barr. RepJerryNadler of you will be replaced.
Force the Senate unto the pages of history. Future generations should know who the true villains were.
It’s amazing how democrats stat so beside themselves after their loss to realDonaldTrump in 2016. They think they’re still running things and that their political skullduggery and criminal antics are just the norm. America will VoteGOP for decades to come. Dems are a disgrace.
Wow, the Democratic is trying every angle and every way to defame and attack President Trump, what a terrible opponent.
It looks like governing in general feels like a waste of time to all of these elected officials.
Do your job. Impeach !
Idiot Dems folding when they should continue to expose the traitors in the white house and Senate.
Without the Senate, he's right.
Nadler is the epitome of being a waste of time.
