From what I see @RealDonaldTrump @WhiteHouse @DonaldJTrumpJr #WilliamBarr have all met the threshold to be charged. Seditious conspiracy (18 U.S.C. § 2384) is a crime under United States law.

who are up for re-election acquitted a person that was known to have lied to federal investigators which proves once again @GOP including @senatemajldr who is also up for re-election who has his own entanglements with Russian oligarchs (#OlegDeripaska) choose to have a rule of
law for them and another for the people of America. THe swamp is in Washington and it has been proven by there own report the swamp is the 5 people above and then you must include the rest of the members of that committee who all voted to acquit someone they knew was GUILTY of
This was one of the goofier parts of #WilliamBarr's testimony. "Well, duh, we have cabinet meeting and there's an election coming."
So Trump is focusing on the election as an integral part of his cabinet meetings. Vs., I dunno, conducting govt business? Yeesh. 1/

The lack of #PPE for an impending pandemic was all *Obama's* fault. That Trump was in office 3 fricking years before the pandemic hit apparently means nothing. 2/

This is unbelievable. The handling has been woeful. Just read this statement from the US Attorney General. #Berman #WilliamBarr
Am sure the reason #WilliamBarr wanted to force #GeoffreyBerman to resign last night was to avoid what you have now: @realDonaldTrump firing the man who was -err- investigating Trump associates. Not ideal optics
This is less Saturday Night Massacre than surreal Saturday. @realDonaldTrump has just left the White House saying he has had no part in the firing of #GeoffreyBerman. But #WilliamBarr in letter he released earlier said the president HAD fired him. Which is it? Both can't be true
The bad news is that #WilliamBarr stained DoJ investigation into Erik Prince for ITAR/FCPA/Espionage will be buried. Trump #quidproquo is now officially normalized. I guess Donald needs that DeVos money to get relected. The good news is that they didn't get all the evidence.
Prince has been down this road before, in the same countries with the same rulers. One of the reasons he had to sell his businesses and move to Abu Dhabi. Since then he has learned not to be so clumsy in writing his mercenary proposals for dictators. nytimes.com/2010/08/21/wor…
Prince has also moved on from trying to flog his two illegal Thrushes and is flogging old dictator junk to dictators. If we do this Afghanistan deal, Erik even might get a crack at his $3.5B mercs for minerals gig. surprise...Erik's Thrush aircraft buzzfeednews.com/article/aramro…

The #MuellerReport left out that Joseph #Mifsud, an academic it portrayed as suspiciously connected to #Russia, actually has numerous connections to former Western officials and experts on counterterrorism and intelligence. (Thread 👇) theepochtimes.com/mueller-overlo…
The web of #Mifsud’s connections, pieced together by The #EpochTimes with the help of political analyst and counterterrorism researcher @CJBdingo25, shines new light on Mifsud’s loyalties and pursuits as well as key events behind the counterintelligence operation #Spygate.
It was Mifsud who allegedly told a Trump campaign aide that Russians had “dirt” on #HillaryClinton, in the form of “thousands of emails.”
This information was used by #FBI to open a counterintelligence investigation that involved extensive #Spying on Trump campaign staff.

1/ This is the second nonverbal analysis of Attorney General William Barr's 1 May 2018 testimony.
2/ Barr was testifying under oath before the Senate Committee on the Judiciary regarding the Justice Department’s Investigation of Russian Interference with the 2016 US Presidential Election.

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 “did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance” of his investigation. Robert Mueller followed up the next day with a 15-minute phone call with Barr.

@BernieSanders is a frontrunner for the Democratic nomination. He has millions of dedicated supporters and is raising tens of millions of dollars.
Few people in politics criticized him more harshly than I did in 2016. But I am a realist...

We need as many people committed to a strong progressive message as possible. Especially when they inspire millions of young voters. It is VERY tough to set aside the frustration of 2016. But I implore Bernie and Hillary supporters to try to come together.

THREAD: Body Language Analysis No. 4378: William Barr questioned regarding The Mueller Report • • #Nonverbal #EmotionalIntelligence #BodyLanguage #BodyLanguageExpert #WilliamBarr #NitaLowey #MuellerReport #RobertMueller #DonaldTrump #Schadenfreude
1/ On Tuesday, 9 April 2019, Attorney General William Barr testified before the US House Appropriations subcommittee. The hearing was intended to address the Justice Department budget.
2/ Democrats, however, took the opportunity to ask questions regarding other topics - including special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 US election.
What seems most obvious to me about the reception of the #MuellerReport is that media, and citizens, on the left and the right have not yet learned that taking extreme positions on something that, as yet, we know very little about. THREAD
For example, go ahead and crap on #WilliamBarr if you like, but we do not know that he has not characterized the report correctly BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT YET SEEN IT.
My friends on the left take the absence of a condemnation of Trump in the letter as evidence of more corruption. And surely, even though we have been repeatedly warned that removing the President has perils, somehow waiting to defeat him in an election seems intolerable.
In the Weimar Republic, Hitler gained control by corrupting the judiciary. In Iran 🇮🇷 the corrupt leaders maintain control through a corrupt judiciary. Has @TheJusticeDept & Judiciary been hopelessly compromised by Trump, #WilliamBarr and @senatemajldr? #SaturdayNightMassacre
Is it too soon to say #WilliamBarr is the new Robert Bork? Agree with @MalcolmNance; @realDonaldTrump is worse than #BenedictArnold. And the @GOP co-signs... no revels in this treasonous attack on American democracy. For what? Money? Power? Hate? #SaturdayNightMassacre
In order to save American Democracy we must take the Senate in 2020. Period. If @senatemajldr maintains control, there may never be another election #Hitler #Mussolini End.

💥#Kavanaugh+#WilliamBarr confirmation: this is why Kavanaugh is there. By appointing his own judges and DOJ leads, Trump is applying the Kremlin’s pattern to silence investigation into corrupt presidents used by Yeltsin and Putin before. Thread. 👇
