Opinion | Attorney General William Barr has shown he has no respect for the law. Democrats need to be ready to impeach him
As frightening as Trump is for our democracy, Barr's abuse of the Justice Department adds a new layer of danger. We cannot be a nation whose top attorney is the fixer for a president who openly flouts the law. We cannot allow distractions to obstruct justice.

Democrats have two options. The first is to win the election with Barr's perversion of justice as a lever. Barr is further evidence of how even our most fundamental American values are on the ballot in November. If they lose, then the only option is to impeach him. Impeaching Barr would be the underscore for Americans who believe in the bright line between artifice and law. And it would tattoo his life story with impeachment in the same way he has inked the Justice Department with his brand of politics.Read the original article onSign up for a daily selection of our best stories daily based on your reading preferences.
