    The argument of our time comes down to one question: Are we going to have the rule of law in America or not? The rule of law requires an active defense. We're making that case in Checks & Balances, our new newsletter: chkbal.substack.com

    US Attorney Berman has made clear that Attorney General Barr’s attempt to fire him implicates ongoing criminal investigations. And apparently Berman’s office has been investigating the president’s personal attorney and possibly other matters potentially affecting the president.

    NEW VIDEO: Two senior Justice Dept officials from George HW Bush administration explain the importance of witnesses in the Senate impeachment trial. A trial is a search for the truth. No senators should want to hide or ignore the facts. @chkbal members @dbatrout & @stuartmgerson

    “Throughout the Clinton impeachment, Judge Starr consistently opposed the invocation of executive privilege and called for all the witnesses to come forward. Trump will have a hard time squaring that...” --Checks & Balances member @RosenzweigP
    In adding Ken Starr to the defense table, President Trump enlisted one of the best known and most polarizing legal figures in the country.

    Replying to @chkbal
    We accordingly urge Congress to immediately require Barr and others to testify under oath about Barr’s reasons for attempting to remove Berman, and about why Barr sought to do so at this time.
