So, it has been quite a day and I'm just getting to this Barr memo, which honestly, I think confused me because I think when I saw initial tweets about it I thought it sounded more like something Whitaker would do, but here we are. wsj.com/articles/trump…
First of all, a job well done by @sgurman and @aviswanatha on the Barr memo story. And THANK YOU for sharing the memo right in the story, and not hiding it.
@sgurman @aviswanatha (Only question I had is why is the fact that it went to the White House at the time buried in the story, and why is the lawyer — it sounds like it's describing Ty Cobb? — not named.)
This is interesting, and also fits with my reading of and questions raised by Barr's memo, which is critical of what Barr took to be the basis of Mueller's obstruction investigation.
Ah, the WSJ names Emmet Flood — not Ty Cobb — as the White House recipient in a story just out this evening: wsj.com/articles/schum…
Sorry about that. I definitely forgot when Cobb had left, and he left before this, so, yeah, Flood had come in by then. 🙃
