The mention of Attorney General Bill Barr as a point of contact for the Ukrainians should they start investigating former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter was just one of the shocking details a memo of the July phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed to the public on Wednesday.
But to Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) presidential campaign, it was an opportunity.
Shortly after the documents release, Harris staff was circulating a video of her tough questioning of Barr during his confirmation hearing to get her back into the national conversation.
Sen. Kamala Harris absolutely nailed AG Bill Barr back in May and now hes in big trouble, the progressive website Daily Kos account tweeted. Ian Sams, Harris national press secretary, gave the storyand several similar takes throughout the daya retweet.
This now has 5 million views, Lily Adams, Harris communications director, wrote on Twitter, linking to a C-SPAN video that showed the full exchange between Harris and Barr.
But far outside Washington, on the presidential campaign trail, Harris is receiving less attention.

(11,495 posts)Pretty much the toughest candidate to take on trump and win. She has proved with Barr she won't back down.

(3,123 posts)Actually my biggest objection to her is that she seems to be a classic authoritarian type personality. Great characteristic in a prosecutor, not one I am really comfortable with in an executive leader. OTOH maybe one needs an SOB to clean house after the mess that Drumpfenfurher has created even if I dislike authoritarians intensely, personally.
I believe that she is the one he least wants to face in the general, so that's a big, big plus. I think any of our top three candidates besides her could beat him, though; but she'd really really hurt his ass
