Ballots for #attorneygeneral began hitting @indgop delegates' mailboxes this week; they're due back July 9, with a winner to be announced the next day. A quick #thread on how this is going to work: 1/
There are four candidates, but it takes a majority, not a plurality, to win. At a live convention, this would mean multiple ballots; the last-place candidate would be eliminated each time until someone has a majority. (That's what happened in 2016, also with 4 candidates.) 2/
To translate that to a mail-in ballot, Republicans are using a ranked-choice ballot. Say the first-ballot results are:
Derek Jeter 396
Larry Walker 304
Barry Bonds 241
Omar Vizquel 209
That's 1,150 votes, so it takes 576 to win. 3/

1) Did #AttorneyGeneral Barr in any way misrepresent your 448-page report?
#Mueller failed to identify the grand jury info in the #MuellerReport. Barr noted that āit immediately meant that you know it was going to be a period of weeks before we could get the report out.ā

THREAD: Body Language Analysis No. 4383: William Barr's Senate Testimony ā¢ ā¢ #Nonverbal #EmotionalIntelligence #WilliamBarr #RobertMueller #DonaldTrump #MuellerReport #BodyLanguage #BodyLanguageExpert #SenateTestimony #AttorneyGeneral
1/ Earlier today, The Washington Post reported that on 27 March 2019 - three days after William Barr released his four-page summary of Robert Mueller's report - Mueller wrote a letter to the Justice Department.
2/ He complained to the Attorney General that Barr's summary of Mueller's investigation of President Trump ādid not fully capture the context, nature, and substanceā of his investigation. Robert Mueller followed up the next day with a 15-minute phone call with Barr.
The @FBI General Counsel @DanaBoente has proven to be a key player in the Trump Admin.
Few, however, are aware of the many crucial positions he has heldāand why he may have held them. (Thread š) theepochtimes.com/dana-boentes-mā¦

During President Trumpās first 2 years in office, Boente served as the Acting #AttorneyGeneral, Acting Deputy Attorney General, Acting Head of @TheJusticeDept's #NationalSecurity Division, and currently serves as the @FBIās General Counsel.
To more fully understand Boenteās role, we need to go back to Jan. 13, 2017, when President @BarackObama issued a last-minute #ExecutiveOrder that altered the line of succession within #DOJ.
The reporter told the #AttorneyGeneral she felt he was being āquite generousā to Trump, quoting #Barr saying the president faced āan unprecedented situationā and noting he discussed how the president was frustrated with the probe. (Transcript in thread š) theepochtimes.com/barr-slams-repā¦

So a few people have asked me about my reaction to @DoloresHuerta endorsing @KamalaHarris for her Presidential campaign in 2020. My thoughts on the matter and given with as much respect as I can give, as a person with Mexican family, and not quite fluent in Spanish. #DesculpaMe
1) @DoloresHuerta is a titan in Central Valley politics and for Mexican-Americans everywhere. She is often overlooked in comparison with #CesarChavez, but my understanding is that Dolores was more of the logistics of the @UFWF while #Cesar provided the #Vision. Sounds familiar!
2) In fact, my own Grandmother (motherās mother) says that she marched with both @DoloresHuerta and #CesarChavez in the 1970ās. I recall the last time I asked her about her stories, I told her that I heard Dolores was fierce #AF. She concurred unequivocally.
President @realDonaldTrump made an outstanding decision in nominating William Barr to serve as the next #AttorneyGeneral.
Mr. Barr is highly capable, highly respected and will provide new and much-needed leadership for the Department of Justice.

@realDonaldTrump Having previously served as AG under President George H.W. Bush, Mr. Barr is a known quantity, a man of the highest integrity and character, and has an impeccable reputation.
He will provide a strong and steady hand to the fine men and women at the Department of Justice.
