So. That was Friday.
A decade ago (this morning), we learned Trump had decided on two nominations:
— AG: Trump Says He Is Nominating Former AG William Barr To Be AG buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
— UN: Trump To Nominate A Former Fox News Host And State Dep’t Spox To The Top UN Job buzzfeednews.com/article/emilyt…
Then, I reported this somewhat unusual news item —> The Justice Department Still Hasn't Told The Government Accountability Office That Jeff Sessions Quit buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg…
Then, we got the expected news of the day: The prosecutors’ sentencing memos. First, on Cohen —> Federal Prosecutors Said Michael Cohen Should Serve A “Substantial Term Of Imprisonment” buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg…
And @ZoeTillman reported on the memo filed in Manafort’s case —> Prosecutors Said Paul Manafort Lied About His Contacts With Trump Administration Officials buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Then, @Haleaziz wrote about this ruling from the 9th Circuit, written by Jay Bybee! —> Trump's Bid To Reinstate A Ban On Asylum Has Been Denied By A Federal Appeals Court buzzfeednews.com/article/hameda…
Fiiiiiinalllly ... I summed up the five big things we learned about the Russia investigation from Mueller’s Cohen filing on Friday: buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg…

Before the night ends, I wanted to thank three Broadway shows that closed today for the incredible stories — and backstories — they brought to the stage and the larger world: Harvey Fierstein’s Torch Song, Once on This Island, and Head Over Heels. Thank you, all. 😊
I am a ridiculously privileged, white cis gay man who gets to see a ton of theater — in part, though, because I’ve prioritized that. I don’t drink, I don’t do much in terms of expensive travel, but I love theater, so that’s where I spend a good deal of my free time and money.
So, when you see me going off to shows, please understand that this is something I care about. I think it’s important, and I love being able to support the incredible people out there doing such amazing work. 💜 Keep it up.

WALKING HOME. SORRY I AM LATE. #GoldenbGlobes
OK. I’m home. Just in time to see Gaga/Cooper. (I’m not sure I’m in the mood for this tonight, so, I might not be tweeting a lot.)
I’d be totally happy just rewatching The Favourite tonight, tho.

Deep dive: Two years in, Trump's new judges are everything conservatives hoped for, and liberals feared buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
The Trump administration in two years has gotten 30 judges confirmed to federal appeals courts. That's how many appeals judges Obama got confirmed in his entire first term. Who these judges are, and what they've done so far: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Judges confirmed under Trump to date have already staked out strong stances on guns, abortion, political speech, agency power, and other issues that were at the heart of fights over their nominations. Conservatives are thrilled. Liberals, not so much buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

Trump announced today that he plans to nominate former attorney general William Barr to be his next attorney general — the news comes exactly one month after Jeff Sessions was forced out buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
On a related note: The Justice Department Still Hasn't Told The Federal Accountability Office That Jeff Sessions Quit
buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg… by @chrisgeidner
From the NY Times in 1991: "William P. Barr ... is a bagpipe-player, China scholar and one-time employee at the Central Intelligence Agency who got his law degree in night school and has never prosecuted a criminal case in court." buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

#Trump said his Russian business efforts, including during the campaign were "Very legal" and "VERY COOL."

HAHAHAH....yep, I sure do agree with that. Very cool, indeed.

Of course, most of the media have no clue, though some of them do, b/c some have reported the truth.
Well, sommanab*tch! The link I saved from one of the media outlets that knew ...now seems to be gone. Of course I couldn't archive it because it was WaPo. They wouldn't let me archive it.
Well, here's another one, by Buzzfeed, no less. They KNEW that Trump worked WITH the FBI, yet they participated in the conspiracy against him to frame him as the guilty one.
