      Taking decisions away from elected officials to whom the Constitution grants power: a threat to democracy. Decisions being made - even terribly - by those elected officials within the scope of those powers: not a threat to democracy.https://twitter.com/AdamWeinstein/status/1274195060679204866 …

      A) Did you get upset when Detroit was trusteed a few years ago by the state government? B) You really don’t get what’s going on here? Barr can’t fire him; Trump has to. But Barr and Trump don’t want Trump to obstruct justice (again). So Barr tried to do the dirty work for him.

          Fine. I’m not saying fascism or the end of democracy. I *am* saying that it looks like Trump and Barr concocted a (yes) inept scheme to insulate Trump from the dirty work of firing Berman in order to obstruct an ongoing investigation. Which—if true—seems like a facially

          impeachable offense by both of them in that Trump has the right to fire here, but does not have the right to obstruct justice. Similar fact pattern to what happened with Comey except Barr tried to launder this for a Trump. Marty Lederman says it’s probably not justifiable, but
