Bob Barr isn't even pretending to do his job

Is Bill Barr doing anything to enforce the laws of the United States in an even-handed manner? You know, his actual job as Attorney General.

It seems to me that all Barr is doing is going on wild goose chases in Europe to substantiate internet conspiracy theories that the President happens to believe because he is demented, and meeting with members of the media to make their coverage of the President even more fawning. Neither of those things are part of the job of the U.S. Attorney General.

If only there were some mechanism to remove an AG who has completely stopped doing the job from office? And if only there was a Senate that would ever remove him if that mechanism were ever activated.
