Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats on Friday called for Attorney General William Barr to recuse himself from “Trump Ukraine matters” as an impeachment inquiry into the president continues. In a letter to Barr, the panel’s ten Democrats accused the attorney general of having an “appearance of a conflict of interest” and urged him to recuse himself from all Ukraine-related affairs, which includes the department’s investigation into matters related to President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, and his associates, Igor Fruman and Lev Parnas, who were recently indicted on campaign finance charges.

“We request that you recuse yourself and identify the appropriate official who will be responsible for these matters. We also request that you confirm whether you consulted Department ethics officials regarding recusal and provide copies of any ethics guidance that Justice Department officials have provided in connection with these matters,” it adds.

The letter comes after a New York Times report stating that the Department of Justice has launched a criminal investigation into the origins of the FBI’s Trump-Russia probe. Shifting the inquiry into criminal probe allows U.S. Attorney John Durham, the prosecutor tasked by Barr to lead the review, to subpoena witnesses for both testimony and documents. Durham will now have the authority to impanel a grand jury and to file charges. “If true, this shows Bill Barr...

There is NO basis for recusal, just as there wasn’t for Sessions to be fooled into doing it.

ZERO basis. And, not going to happen. These dems are crapping their panties. Watch as the hysteria rises and the individuals are taken out legally from the coup process.

What they did is the worst crime against the People of the United States in the history to date of this country. They are eating out of the trough of the money the People provide (and don’t forget the fake money their beloved Federal Reserve money printing bank provides them)— and they won’t give it up without some serious SQUEALING!

They think Barr not recusing will destroy public confidence in the DOJ????? They were either laughing their asses off or drunk when they wrote that.

These people are WAYYYYY out of line - their corruption seem to have no boundaries.
