So, IF, as YOU say, they are lying, what crime(s) have they committed?
The lie is not a crime. Pursuing removing him to stop his investigations is obstruction of justice.
Demanding he release grand jury testimony and evidence - and that he release national security secrets - or they will hold him in contempt is the crime of extortion and conspiracy to divulge grand jury materials and national security secrets.
If I tell you "go rob the bank or I'm going report you to the police for drugs" I would have committed 2 crimes - extortion/blackmail and conspiracy to commit bank robbery - crimes most of the Democrats on the committee now HAVE committed.
Imagine if Barr does start using his power even just half as corruptly as the Democrats in Congress are. He could have any of them secretly indicted by a federal grand jury before the Democrat know what hit him/her.
Obviously he should go after AOC in regards to her campaign funds. He could go after ANYONE who has threatened him with impeachment and contempt after he stated he is actively conducting investigations. He should have DOJ staffers interview every one of them laying them up for perjury traps. Subpoena all their business and bank records, seize their computers too. Certainly the Democratic party shouldn't object since they all claim that is just typical practices.
