On Wednesday night, after Democratic senators Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) had called for Attorney General William Barr to resign after the Department of Justice recommended a lighter sentence for Roger Stone, former House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy told Martha MacCallum of Fox News, “The notion that Bill Barr should resign is about the dumbest damn thing I have ever heard.”
Warren had tweeted, “Congress must act immediately to rein in our lawless Attorney General. Barr should resign or face impeachment. And Congress should use spending power to defund the AG’s authority to interfere with anything that affects Trump, his friends, or his elections.” Blumenthal added, “Attorney General William Barr ought to be ashamed and embarrassed and resign as a result of this action directly interfering in the independent prosecution of Roger Stone.”
