Trump fired Comey. Trump's campaign NatSec chief, Sessions, fired McCabe. Baker and Page *chose* to leave the FBI. Strzok was fired *despite* recommendations he get a small suspension. *Any* media reference to how these folks left the FBI without these facts is pro-Trump disinfo.
2/ I've said before and will say again that FBI employees whose errors at the FBI were a) minor, and b) not malicious got fired by Trump or his people *precisely* so that Trump could use this information down the line to smear lifelong public servants. Media is letting him do it.
3/ Donald Trump *orchestrated* the firing and libel of lifelong public servants as part of a campaign of criminal obstruction of justice, and now he is *crowing* about what he did on Twitter daily with media simply putting his tweets up on the screen without comment. It's insane.

Barr just confirmed that the presidential pardon power is not absolute, and that it is possible for a pardon to be a criminal act (e.g. obstruction) and that (if so) that pardon cannot legally be issued. That was my understanding of his answer, at least, and it seemed a good one.
2/ I'll say—perhaps contrary to expectation—that I think media hyped this hearing overmuch. CNN suggested pre-hearing that Barr could be a major threat to Mueller's probe, and I'm not sure we had any evidence of that. By and large his answers have been... in the acceptable range.
3/ I'm not saying Barr is who I would've picked. I'm not saying I *don't* think he should recuse himself. But the case for his recusal is weaker than it was for Sessions—and by far—and we have to acknowledge that. Barr acknowledging his memo was rank speculation helps him a lot.

Step 1 (3/31/16): Kremlin agent Papadopoulos tells Trump he's a Kremlin agent.
Step 2 (3/31/16 - 4/2/16): Trump encourages/promotes Papadopoulos.

That's *one incident* of 50+ in PROOF OF COLLUSION that would've caused *any* FBI agent to worry Trump was acting as a Kremlin agent.
2/ So when you say "record," @GeraldoRivera, I don't know what "record" you're speaking of, because I wrote a 450-page "record" of the "record" and had *not a doubt in my mind*—as a lawyer and former criminal investigator—the FBI had *ample* articulate facts to proceed as it did.
3/ If people wonder why I care what @GeraldoRivera thinks it's because (I'm embarrassed to say) I watched his show nightly 20 years ago when it was on MSNBC and have been horrified watching him descend into being an FNC/Trump flack for no reason at all. He *is* smarter than this.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:

THREAD: #FBI DepDir McCabe *confirms* in testimony that @Comey briefed him on *at least 2* conversations w/Trump:

👉🏼Jan dinner when Trump asked for loyalty🙄
👉🏼Feb meeting when Trump asked Comey to go easy on Misha🇷🇺Flynn

1/
 cnn.com/2017/12/21/pol…
Comey previously testified that he briefed some of his “senior colleagues at the FBI” about his #loyalty conversation w/Trump.🤔

McCabe testified that Comey informed him of conversations he had w/Trump soon after they happened‼️🤗 2/
No surprise, McCabe’s testimony appears to corroborate Comey's prior account, including Trump's INSANE ask for a loyalty pledge‼️

Of course, Trump now denies that he ever made this ridiculous ask.🙄 3/
