Judge Jackson caught Barr lying about Mueller so WHEN DO RETRACTIONS HAPPEN 
2 above papers are Murdoch rags but end result is identical: AMERICAN MEDIA UNCRITICALLY TYPED UP AN OBVIOUS LIE
not to be outdone CBS News lit a jaunty roaring fire behind TFG's consigliere 1 month after he lied to America #ForReasons

Lev Parnas was said to be a mere "translator" for Ukrainian oligarch Dmytro Firtash. Turns out it was much more — Parnas claimed Firtash was bankrolling his company, paying for private jets and bodyguards. cnn.com/2019/11/01/pol…
1/ Uhhh... William Barr actively worked to suppress a whistleblower report in which he was implicated.
Barr's DOJ prevented the IG from delivering the report to Congress.
Barr's DOJ prevented the IG from delivering the report to Congress.
2/ Barr's DOJ released a statement claiming the report was based on hearsay and that there was an indication of political bias. Those statements became the central talking points of interests defending Trump's actions for 24 hours prior to the release of the "transcript" memo.
3/ It is currently being reported that Barr played an active role in the efforts to suppress this report. He would have cleared relevant DOJ statements. Barr was one of the subjects of the underlying phone conversation.
THREAD:
1/ So Trump's WH distributes a talking points doc that mirrors Fox News. Then all the R's in congress start tweeting the talking points. Then Trump retweets them, tweeting the talking points that *he gave them.*

2/ Then Fox News begins reporting on the tweets as confirmation that their initial position on the issue is correct - even though that position became the talking points that became the tweets that became the RTs that became the "news" that justified the original talking points
3/ Meanwhile Fox and Republicans have totally abandoned focus on any of the other content that *may* be in the original whistleblower report, because Barr determined that the report was unimportant and everything is hunky-dory, because this *memo* about a conversation...
1/16 It has begun. The GOP is spinning that the sole transcript Trump says he will release is more important than the #WhistleblowerComplaint as a tactic to insist everything should ride on this one supposed piece of evidence.

2/16 All reports indicate this was a months-long conspiracy Trump and Giuliani were engaged in, subverting & bypassing officials who tried to stop them.

3/16 And Trump already has a shady history with releasing information.
Forget the obvious like his tax returns, school grades, and secret meetings with Putin.
Actually, a reminder of those secret meetings:

#MuellerReport: #Mueller did not have confidence that a crime had NOT been committed. #Barr left this out of his 4 pager. #SpinJob #BarrCoverUp justice.gov/storage/report… … …
#Mueller clearly DID take into consideration the #DOJ policy that a sitting President cannot be indicted. His findings on obstruction are based around that. #SpinJob #BarrCoverUp justice.gov/storage/report… … … …
Special Counsel spokesman Peter Carr: "Neither Mueller nor anyone else from the special counsel’s prosecution team will be in attendance at the Barr press conference."

These are the actions of a prosecution team who was shut down by by Barr.

Did you get your milk and water in preparation for the civil war starting tomorrow? #BarrCoverUp
I don’t trust AG Barr and whatever public action he takes is calculated and aimed to deceive. Tomorrow will be him continuing protecting trump.

Rosenstein investigated @BillClinton for Ken Starr along with Brett #Kavanaugh.

In 1989, Barr refused to release a damning DOJ memo to Congress, instead, only providing a “summary of principal conclusions” [sound familiar?] that omitted "some of the most consequential & incendiary conclusions." #BarrCoverUp

Per @rgoodlaw: "Barr’s efforts in 1989 did not serve the Justice Dept well...when the OLC opinion was finally made public, it's true content, given what Barr told the American people and testified before Congress, remains much to his discredit."
WATCH: Law professor @rgoodlaw details Barr's duplicitous actions to bury the truth or mischaracterize it to Congress & the American people in 1989. Barr won't bat an eye at tarnishing his "reputation" by doing the same thing again.

Media need to stop portraying the #MuellerProbe as having failed to reach a 'conclusion'. The establishment of any crimes was SUBSIDIARY to the counterintelligence investigation. We need to know what #Mueller found, not what he DID NOT FIND. #BarrCoverUp:
In his letter appointing the Special Counsel, #Rosenstein authorized #Mueller to "conduct the investigation confirmed by then-FBI Director James B. Comey" [in his testimony of 3/20/17]. Here is how #Comey characterized the investigation in that testimony: washingtonpost.com/news/post-poli…
#Barr is disingenuously attempting to frame #Mueller's findings as "binary". A blatant attempt at cover up. If #Mueller found any evidence POTUS or anyone in his campaign/admin was/is compromised we MUST know to in order to ensure our #NationalSecurity.

#Mueller's Mandate was very broad. He was not solely tasked with assessing criminal liability. #BarrCoverUp
Media is botching coverage of #BarrCoverUp. Folks need to understand how badly we're being played. Pls help spread awareness by RTing this info on Mueller's mandate (focussing on #Rosenstein/#Comey's original words). Mueller was NOT limited to an assessment of criminal liability:
Gotta a damn good question...
Feel free to throw in your 2 cents, 'cause if you're feeling like I am after #TheMuellerReport landed, you're more than a little angry & concerned about #BillBarrsComedyHour being followed by the #LowBudgetTrumpRemakeOf1984.😑 www-m.cnn.com/2019/03/29/pol…

Watching every RW news outlet, pundit & GOP mouthpiece that ever claimed to love this country embarrass the HELL out of themselves on a national scale is the saddest circus act ever performed before a live audience.
