Bill Barr says he'll follow special counsel regulations to the letter and allow "Bob" to finish his investigation.

One is, of course, incompatible with the other.

@realDonaldTrump's biggest weakness is his desire to be liked by all.
Ugh oh. Bill Barr just stated he opposes illegal immigration. He better hope he's 1) lying and 2) Democrats know it. That's their sacred cow.
Look how uncomfortable Bill Barr looks with @LindseyGrahamSC asking him about DOJ/FBI/FISA corruption. He looks very uncomfortable and that should make @realDonaldTrump very uncomfortable. Maybe one day he'll learn no favor for families who hate him, will make them not hate him.

Now add the 14-year old girl smuggled over the border by the Rendon-Reyes Trafficking Organization, who was forced to service 45 men a night before the feds busted 8 men who held her in sexual slavery. They were just sentenced.

All were illegally residing in the U.S.
Since we can see some are searching for that story, I'll save them the trouble. Next in thread, I'll add the latest PR re: sentencing. peoplespunditdaily.com/news/politics/…
Here's the PR for the sentencing of Severiano Martinez-Rojas, who was mentioned in that story. justice.gov/opa/pr/fourth-…

1. How many inaccurate comparisons between Donald Trump and Richard Nixon did we hear re: that @BuzzFeed story?

Here are some accurate comparisons.

Neither men get/got credit they deserve for policy successes, and both have/had rabid ideologues who live/lived to take them down.
2. Here's some more accurate comparisons.

Both Donald Trump and Richard Nixon followed Democratic presidents who were handled by media with kid gloves. They could do no wrong. Nixon's first opponent truly stole a presidential election. Trump's tried but failed, then projected.
3. Both men also share how much hate was directed their way by the political class, who hate them because they feel these men aren't good enough for them.

I could go on. But these Watergate comparisons are beyond stale, a lot like those who are still trying to milk it.

1. It is patently false to claim online polls are easier to "rig" than other data collection modes. Data sources and methodology need sunlight, not the data collection mode, itself.

This is why all pollsters should comply w/ @AAPOR Transparency Initiative.
2. FYI, data collection modes are online, landline, cellphone, etc. Data source is the source of the population being surveyed, i.e. voter files, online panel, etc.

AAPOR's TI requires you disclose this information at the time of release, and more. Here's the kicker...
3. Our online panels are sourced by voter files, meaning they are in fact the same source, verifiably, and adding an online component simply gives a pollster another mode by which to interview the same population. Not all respondents participate at equal rates across all modes.

And, we're back. Here's our report, from @ZoeTillman, on the morning: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
First up this afternoon is Sen. Whitehouse, whose first question is about Rod Rosenstein and the DAG position.
Barr says he made no agreement regarding getting rid of Rosenstein in order to get the nomination and that he did not request Rosenstein to leave, that Rosenstein said he viewed the position as a two-year stint.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein: “Top of mind for all of us is the ongoing investigation. Importantly, the attorney general must be willing to resist political pressure and be committed to protecting this investigation.” #BarrHearing
Sen. Orrin Hatch says Barr, in his last stint as attorney general, “prioritized fighting violent crime and became known as the law and order attorney general.”

Criminal justice reformers worry about that history: bit.ly/2sqwzfb #BarrHearing
Barr takes the floor at his confirmation hearing and introduces his family to the committee.

"My son ... will someday be in the Department of Justice," he says. #BarrHearing

Lindsey Graham, in opening remarks at Barr hearing: "So about me. I want us to do better. And I'll be as measured as possible. The immigration Lindsey will show up. But the other guy's there too, and I don't like him any more than you do."
Graham: "You will be challenged, you should be challenged. The memo, there will be a lot of talk about it. As there should be."
Graham: "But I just want to let you know Mr. Barr that we appreciate you stepping up at a time when the country needs somebody of your background and your temperament to be in charge of the rule of the law."

Bill Barr's confirmation hearing is about to begin. Follow me for a video thread.
.@LindseyGrahamSC: "The times of which we live are very difficult times. I don't see them getting better overnight... So about me... I'll be as measured as possible. The immigration Lindsey will show up. But the [Kavanaugh] guy's there too. I don't like him any more than you do.
.@SenFeinstein tells Barr, "your [memo criticizing the Mueller investigation] shows a large, sweeping view of presidential power... [and] raises a number of questions about your views of executive authority and whether the president is in fact above the law."

Dear Chairman Graham:
Thank you for taking the time to meet with me last week. I appreciated the opportunity to speak with you about my upcoming hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee and my plans for the Department of Justice if I am confirmed.
During our meeting, you asked me about the legal memorandum that I drafted as a private citizen in June 2018, a copy of which I provided to the Committee last month.
