House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn is bullish on his former protégé’s chances of flipping one of South Carolina’s Senate seats blue in November and ousting Lindsey Graham from Congress, he said Tuesday
While Clyburn reiterated that he believes Jaime Harrison is running a good Senate campaign, Clyburn posited that the race being so close also has to do with “the hypocrisy of Lindsey Graham."

The speech was a tour de force. Honoring those who gave the supreme sacrifice and a hero like Rush Limbaugh in an unprecedented awarding of the medal of freedom. (Thread) #SOTUS

THREAD: I invoked Rod Serling & Twilight Zone when the news hit about #Trump asserting #ExcutivePrivilege over documents underlying #MuellerReport. I thought I should explain given your questions about US v Nixon & more.
First, there are two different issues to sort through. 1. grand jury material redacted in #MuellerReport and the grand jury material - documents - the report relies on; and 2. documents like McGahn's notes that Mueller refers to in the report that may exist outside of grand jury
House Dems are basically arguing they can see grand jury material behind closed doors (not public) without a court order. The Congressional Research Service notes that 2 court decisions agree with them & others do not. This sets up a court battle. fas.org/sgp/crs/secrec…
