Today, the Supreme Court, stacked with Trump appointees, is hearing a case that threatens the ACA and health care coverage for millions of Americans, and an end to protections for preexisting conditions. If SCOTUS steps in to overturn this law, it would be a huge blow to America. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
The American people have put an end to #BarrGate by electing Joe Biden to be president. But this intense corruption of our justice system should be fully investigated, never forgotten, and never repeated. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
Yesterday: Barr attempts to cast doubts on the results of the election and tells federal attorneys to probe unsupported claims of voting irregularities. A top DOJ official for election crimes quits in protest. #BarrGate https://t.co/F2uZhe0gdq — PolitiTweet.org

September 2020: In the same speech, he also equates life-saving pandemic response to the horrors of human bondage. In doing so, he shows his complete lack of empathy with historical abuses & continuing struggles of marginalized communities. #BarrGate https://t.co/99lQ5kfaL0 — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
September 2020: In a speech, Barr denigrates the men and women of the DOJ. He compares them to preschoolers and asserts his ultimate authority of decisions—a disgusting dig at career public servants. #BarrGate https://t.co/YuuikWpHBA — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
September 2020: In the same interview, Barr covers for Trump by claiming on national TV he does not know if it is a crime to vote twice in the state of North Carolina, as Trump called for his supporters to do. (It is & it is a felony at that.) #BarrGate https://t.co/a25nIy9dJ9 — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

September 2020: The DOJ moves to take over Trump’s defense in a personal lawsuit. This is a corruption of the DOJ to – once again – serve the interests of Donald Trump, not of the American people. #BarrGate https://t.co/ojsZtdpEtm — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
Spring 2019: Barr meddles in the case of former Trump lawyer, Michael Cohen. Cohen pleaded guilty and implicated the president in a campaign finance violation but Barr demanded memos be written to undercut the conviction. #BarrGate https://t.co/SaBizO8M9t — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
January 2019: Barr refuses to say if he will recuse himself from supervision of the Mueller probe during his confirmation hearing–depriving the Senate of a key piece of information before the vote. Regardless, he is confirmed. #BarrGate — PolitiTweet.org
