            CALLING FOR IMPEACHMENT OF ATTORNEY GENERAL BARR

  (Mr. COHEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COHEN. Mr. Speaker, we have been experiencing a very unusual 
pattern of behavior by the Attorney General of the United States, 
behavior that has scared many, and should scare all, for he has abused 
his power; he has obstructed justice; and he has violated the First 
Amendment.

[[Page H2682]]

  He has destroyed almost every norm that existed for Attorneys General 
and their relationship to the rule of law, the rule of law that makes 
America stand out as the beacon on the hill to nations all over the 
world. No longer, for the rule of law has been diminished by his 
actions with Michael Flynn, a person who pled guilty twice, admitted to 
lying, and, yet, wanted to withdraw the prosecution. And the same for 
the change in the plea agreement for Roger Stone and that 
recommendation.
  He violated the First Amendment at Lafayette Park when he cleared the 
park for a photo op for the President.
  He abused his power in the Mueller report when he misled the people 
in what the Mueller report really said.
  Mr. Speaker, for those reasons and others, I have been joined by 35 
of my colleagues today in introducing a resolution calling for the 
impeachment of William Barr and calling on the Committee on the 
Judiciary to look into it.
