ATTORNEY GENERAL/IMPEACHMENT/NANCY PELOSI/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday [9-27-19] said that Attorney General William P. Barr had ‘gone rogue,’ and questioned whether he could objectively make decisions about legal action in response to an explosive whistle-blower complaint accusing President Trump of misconduct, because Mr. Barr himself was mentioned in the document…Earlier Friday on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Ms. Pelosi accused the White House of ‘a cover-up of the cover-up,’ referring to the July 25 phone call between Mr. Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine in which Mr. Trump pressured Mr. Zelensky to investigate a political opponent, and the ensuing effort to keep the call from going public. The White House released a reconstructed transcript of the call this week, and on Thursday [9-26-19], the House Intelligence Committee released an unclassified version of the whistle-blower’s complaint. Ms. Pelosi announced the start of an impeachment inquiry before the release of the reconstructed transcript and complaint.”
