I understand that he (Barr) wouldn't be affected EVEN if they disbarred him! I want him Charged with a crime. BUT i don't know if that's even possible.

so has a wide range of powers to prosecute. It would be difficult to charge the AG for prosecutions which may not be justified. Of course if there is evidence of leaking classified material, or colluding with foreign governments, that could be trouble for the AG. Only other reason would be he/she is caught committing felonies such as murder, robbery, larceny, trafficking in illegal drugs or prostitution, etc.

My question is, Has he done ANYTHING illegal NOW that he could be charged with. If the answer is yes THEN how would it proceed? Who would the person (persons) that would file any charges? Some here would know just What laws he broke, (if any) and how to proceed.

But Trump is hardly the normal president. Sorry it is above my pay-grade to know what laws Barr has broken.

https://www.alternet.org/2020/01/watchdog-group-files-formal-doj-complaint-against-bill-barr-for-his-abuse-of-power-for-trump/

Snip...

Directed to Jeffrey R. Ragsdale, head of the DOJ’s Office of Professional Responsibility, and Cynthia K. Shaw, the DOJ director of the Departmental Ethics Office, the complaint states that “Because you are responsible for safeguarding the institutional integrity of the Justice Department and the standards of behavior that govern its officials, Attorney General Barr’s pattern of improper behavior warrants investigation and appropriate remedial action by your offices.”

the likelihood of anyone here on DU being "in the know" is slim to none.

Why?......you might ask. Because they are masters at covering things up like cow pies with chocolate icing. Anyone in the know about Barr's illegal dealings is probably under the threat of death if they tell.

I'll admit it's fun to speculate and the possibilities are limitless with Trump's merry band of crooks.
