Gee…that certainly sounds like a president who is above the law.
Wild from Barr: If the president feels a proceeding is unfounded, "the president does not have to sit there constitutionally and allow it to run its course. The president could terminate the proceeding and it would not be a corrupt intent because he was being falsely accused." pic.twitter.com/SMpiIXia92

This tiptoes up to the line of Nixon’s “if the president does it, then it is legal.”
I see that Barr has decided he’s committed enough perjury for one week, and has cowardly refused to face the House committee tomorrow.
Oh has he indeed.
Why would Barr’s “argument” not apply to impeachment proceedings? Then we would truly have a dictator.
