Last night on CNN, one House Democrat expressed a willingness to be the hypothetical hero the Left needs at this moment in time:

MOMENTS AGO ON CNN: Rep. Lloyd Doggett to @ChrisCuomo on Attorney General Barr: "I don't want to throw him in jail, but I'm ready to do so." — Vaughn Sterling (@vplus) May 8, 2019

That brings up a good question:

For what? — Douglass B Johnson (@becklass) May 8, 2019

For failing to help Democrats bring their 2016 election narrative into real life, perhaps?

Democrats warned us that if we voted for Trump, the government would try to lock up the political opposition. And they were right! https://t.co/k5KRPHYkrK — Joel B. Pollak (@joelpollak) May 8, 2019

Never mind that this is resistance fan fiction, but the people who fainted over "lock her up" chants sure are eager to put people away these days. https://t.co/DUEr8n1qvq — BT (@back_ttys) May 8, 2019

The more Barr says he’s going to dig into what happened in 2016, the more the Dems flail. What gives?
