William Barr, Trump’s Attorney General pick, sent an unsolicited memo in June to DOJ excoriating Mueller obstruction inquiry, saying it’s based on a “fatally misconceived” theory that would cause lasting damage to the presidency & executive branch.wsj.com/articles/trump… via @WSJ
So Bill Barr sent a 20-page memo (more like a law review art!) to Rosenstein arguing obstruction of justice by Trump isn’t a “real” crime. Barr also told Trump about the memo, but it supposedly had nothing to do w/ picking him for Attorney General. Riight. wsj.com/articles/trump…
There is no doubt: Bill Barr should not oversee the Mueller investigation. He sent his 20-page single-spaced memo (a costly work product!) strongly criticizing Mueller not only to DOJ but to Trump as well. Read THREAD from @renato_mariotti and Barr's memo, via @just_security 👇

MAGA America: Trump’s about to speak in the Rose Garden. He reportedly just threatened to keep the govt shutdown for “months and years” over his campaign con wall. While a federal worker tells CNN she can’t pay her bill. #winning 🙃
Trump: “Tremendous things are happening. Wages are finally going up. It’s beautiful. That doesn’t happen from luck. I worked hard on that.” Now he’s just rambling about “open borders,” people getting shot, children…“Coyotes take a left, turn at the wall or powerful steel.” 🤦‍♀️😒

It’s official: Nancy Pelosi Elected Speaker as Democrats Take Control of House !! via @NYTimes #Democrats #Democracy #116Congress nyti.ms/2RsaB9L?smid=n…
My wonderful Representative @RepBarbaraLee walks on the floor of the chamber as Nancy Pelosi is set to make history by being elected Democratic Speaker of the House—AGAIN. And third in line to the presidency. A good day.
JUST NOW: Democrat Nancy Pelosi is now the duly elected Speaker of the House of the #116Congress. First person in 6 decades to return to speakership. And the first, second and only woman to hold that powerful position. #winning

Trump’s rant at WH meeting today even made Bill Shine—disgraced FoxNews exec now head White House PR guy—squirm. He couldn’t sit still, as Trump rattled off his usual ignorant propaganda talking points and self-praise.
“What’s he done for me?”—Trump on Mattis, says he fired him because “I want results.” This rant at WH cabinet meeting is just incredible. It’s like he’s on speed. He just can’t shut up🤐. TV cameras should pan out—to capture the reaction of people in room.
How dumb is Trump? Really really REALLY dumb: "The reason Russia went into Afghanistan was because terrorists were going into Russia. They were right to be there. That's why there's no Soviet Union."

It's a miracle we've survived 2 years of this. Not sure about the next two.

Trump’s attorney general pick, William Barr, in JUN sent an unsolicited memo to the Justice Department – namely Rod Rosenstein who considers Barr a mentor – that excoriated Mueller’s obstruction probe into Trump. Oops.
by @sgurman @aviswanatha @WSJ #Maddow on.wsj.com/2GG82fU
William Barr's unsolicited memo to his protege Rod Rosenstein: “Mueller’s approach is grossly irresponsible with potentially disastrous implications...he should not be permitted to demand Trump submit to interrogation about alleged obstruction.”
