1.@JanCBS you and @CBSNews gave free air time to someone who is clearly at war against the rule of law and you did not challenge any of his absurd well-planned propaganda themes. You just sat there clearly unprepared to interview a former CIA
2. officer who is preparing to expose all of the west's intelligence assets to a compromised president who already exposed assets to the Russians. If you were picked for this assignment with any input from Barr or the DOJ you should take no pride in that because Barr
3. clearly benefited from your slow-pitch leading questions and absurd fireside setting that were more suitable for an interview of a TV personality than a dangerous religious zealot who was the subject of a criminal investigation for his role in a presidential cover ups in 1992.
1. The #MuellerReport is a subterfuge. Any prosecutor could charge both conspiracy and obstruction. But 52 USC 30121 analysis is a joke. Doesn’t even address June 9 vis-a-vis crimes of accepting receiving or soliciting foreign help. It’s a silly whitewash. The question is why?
2. My best guess is buried in the text where Mueller qualifies his declination on lack of “admissible evidence.” I think this does not mean “admissible” in a purely legal sense, as in evidence that complies with the Federal Rules of Evidence. I think it may be more related to
3. Mueller is punting because a much more comprehensive look at the Trump Russia conspiracy is still ongoing and relies on evidence that a charge under 52 USC 30121 would expose, open to discovery and jeopardize the larger Trump Russia conspiracy that has as underlying
1. Irony: Barr talked about spying during the Vietnam Era. Barr he was a full time @CIA agent who was attending night school at GW Law School. My knowledge of the era and the CIA leads me to conclude Barr was illegally spying on US citizens for the Nixon Admin. Expose him.
2. @RepJerryNadler and @RepAdamSchiff need to demand the CIA turn over Barr's full work file and a copy of my brother John's #IraqGate Report that investigated Barr's cover ups. @SpeakerPelosi needs to make sure we have competent people on point for this.
3. There is a coup, but Barr and Trump are likely behind it and the Russians are taking over. 30% Barr is a traitor. You just don't get it. We were attacked and the enemy is in the @WhiteHouse and @TheJusticeDept @NSAGov @FBIWFO
1. More on Barr. He's playing a game by saying that White House outside counsel has not seen the report. IMO Barr gave it to @WhiteHouse counsel that also includes his son. He's also playing a game with 6(e) pretending that his made up redaction category (3rd parties) is law.
2. Uncharged people who were raised in the grand jury are generally protected by 6(e). Barr appears to me to be adding the people who may not have been in the 6(e) scope. IMO likely his law firm K&E & McGahn's firm Jones Day along with @SenateGOP @HouseGOP & #KochBrothers et al.
3. Nothing I saw or heard today changes my view @RepAdamSchiff has the full report. If he doesn't and he has asked for it, then @TheJusticeDept & Barr are engaged in obstruction under 18 USC 1505 for not providing it to national security investigators as provided in 6(e)(3)(D).
1. Barr is lying about Rule 6(e). This is a national security case. Rule 6(e)(3)(D) certainly let's him give it to the Committees.
"(D) An attorney for the government may disclose any grand-jury matter involving foreign intelligence, counterintelligence (as defined in 50 U.S.C

1. Billie Barr was a spy while at law school? 🕵️♂️ From his K&E Bio:
"Bill attended Columbia University where he received his A.B. in government in 1971 and his M.A. in government and Chinese studies in 1973. He served in the Central Intelligence Agency from 1973 to 1977.
"Bill attended Columbia University where he received his A.B. in government in 1971 and his M.A. in government and Chinese studies in 1973. He served in the Central Intelligence Agency from 1973 to 1977.
2. Bill received a law degree with highest honors from George Washington University in 1977 . . ."
Law school is usually three years. So Barr goes into the @CIA in 1973 (Watergate) and while he's there, he's attending GW law school? Was he under cover? 😬

3. Did his law school classmates know a pre-Church Committee right-wing Nixonite spook was sitting next to them in class? @Evan_McMullin @20committee @SpanbergerVA07 @JudiciaryGOP @SenateGOP @senjudiciary @SpeakerPelosi @RepAdamSchiff
1. We're in a Constitutional civil war. @NancyPelosi & @SenateDems are kidding themselves that normal order will exist after Jan 3. We need to bury @SenateGOP in impeachments. Don't agree on continuances. First one to take up is the fake AG. Make it @senatemajldr's only task.
2. And Bill Barr? Really? lets' see my bother John's classified #IraqGate special counsel's report. I'm betting Barr is featured largely in that. @senjudiciary @SenFeinstein @SenSchumer @ChuckGrassley @CIA @NSAGov @DefenseIntel @maddow @Lawrence @MaddowBlog
3. The key to getting Trump out is to turn the US population against the @SenateGOP to such an extent that they have to quit or remove Trump. No future in Government. Make them the pro Russian adversaries. Because that's exactly who they are if they leave a traitor in office.
