No Surprise Here: Voters Overwhelmingly Oppose Impeaching Attorney General Barr
PJ Media ^ | May 7, 2019 | Matt Margolis

In the past week, it has become clear that Democrats have seen the writing on the wall that impeaching Trump would be a bad political move , and have since set their sights on Attorney General Barr, hoping for greener pastures. Nancy Pelosi has accused him of perjury , and many on the left, including congressional leaders, 2020 candidates , pundits , and celebrities , have called for Barr’s impeachment.

Unfortunately for them, fewer voters believe Barr should be impeached. According to a new Rasmussen poll , “Voters think their threats against President Trump, Attorney General William Barr and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh are going nowhere.” A whopping 71 percent of voters think it is unlikely that the House of Representatives will impeach Trump, Barr, or Brett Kavanaugh. Only 22 percent believe impeachment of any of them is likely.

We already know that impeaching Trump is a losing issue for them, and this poll confirms that only 40 percent of voters think Trump should be impeached. But, if Democrats were hoping they found a winning issue with the impeaching Attorney General Barr (over bogus allegations of misrepresenting the Mueller report and perjury) they were gravely mistaken. A mere 31 percent of voters support impeaching Barr. Democrats naturally support impeachment more than Republican or Independent voters, but even in their own party, less than half of Democrats want to impeach Attorney General Barr or Justice Kavanaugh. Two-thirds of Democrats support impeaching Trump.

Opposition to impeaching Kavanaugh has remained strong, even since Democrats won back the House in November .

The bottom line for Democrats is that a strong majority (61 percent) of voters say “ it's time for Democrats in Congress to move on to other issues now that the Mueller probe has failed to prove that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians.” If Democrats don’t get the hint, they most certainly risk the same kind of backlash the GOP experienced after impeaching President Bill Clinton.

Rasmussen’s survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on May 2 and 5, 2019, and has a margin of error of +/- 3 percent.

Here is a Poll Question:

The Democrats want to impeach Barr because he is Investigating the Democrats.

Should they ALL be Charged with Obstruction of Justice??

How sad is this: Anytime the Dems don’t get their way on someone’s who’s already in office, they start talking about impeachment. If they don’t like someone who is running for office, they create a bogus dossier to destroy them. Anyone else think the Dems look like a bunch of pampered spoiled brats too busy trying to get their way to do anything useful for the rest of US?

Impeachment (of Trump, not Barr): Put up or shut up. That is the bottom line. The can do it ANY TIME THEY WANT. The only thing stopping them is Nanzi Pelosi’s career ambition to stay in office. Maybe the smell of human feces is clouding her judgement, but one thing is for sure: She is the in line to be leader of the free world if, God forbid, something happens to Trump or Pence. I don’t want CWII. Any honestly neither does Nanzi. This is all Kubiki theater, and even democrats know it.

“Nancy Pelosi has accused him of perjury , and many on the left, including congressional leaders, 2020 candidates , pundits , and celebrities , have called for Barr’s impeachment.”

Also, members of human trafficking and pedophile rings, along with Deep State traitors, have called for Barr’s removal.

At this point we are going to see a clown show from the left where they hope to run out the clock before Barr can do a real investigation. Look for a lot of real obstruction, stonewalling, and screaming about witch-hunts to follow.

Lots of folks will get collective amnesia. Hillary, who was in perfect health for the 2016 presidential race, will suddenly have relapse of medical issues that affect her memory, just like her bumping her head after Benghazi. Deep State will have trouble locating records and even people. Deep State Media will continue to operate as the PR department of the DNC.

But, in the end, Barr will get to finish the job and bring many people to justice because President Trump will get his second term.

I actually wish they would try. All AG Barr has to do is show the Congressional statutes. The more these crazed Dim/socialists keep this up, the bigger the landslide for Trump in 2020. I would even bet the House loses seats.

As for Pres. Trump obstructing justice, they know that's a non-starter.

Maybe so, but the media DOES seem to want it, and have been inciting the Democrats since the MOMENT Trump won the election.

ImVho, you are not nearly harsh enough on the coven of HATERS, BIGOTS, SOCIALISTS, ANARCHISTS, anti-religious zealots, fools, MEAN-spirited swine & “garbage walking around in clothes”, that in 2019 are called (collectively) “the modern progressive DIMocRATS Party”.

Yours, TMN78247
