It looks like President Trump will be on to his third attorney general today. The Senate vote is currently 52-36 in favor of confirming William Barr.
Now 54-39 and they're still voting.
The Senate vote is final. William Barr, who once said working on the Russia investigation on behalf of President Trump would be like putting his "head into the meat grinder," will now be in charge of it.

If you're wondering whether taking private land for a border wall is going to be contentious, consider this: The government is already in litigation with people Texas over whether it can so much as go on their property, let alone seize it.
Here's a case DOJ filed Wednesday seeking the right to go onto somebody's land for surveying. The government says it will pay the landowner $100. There are others like this ->
Coincidentally, @usatoday has a twitter bot that finds new cases in which the U.S. government files a lawsuit against something. Hello, @UnitedStatesV.

Their complaint is that CNN had obtained a copy of the indictment by 6:22 a.m. The Justice Department posted a copy four minutes earlier.
Stone’s lawyers also complain that the indictment was still sealed when CNN (and the entire world) obtained it. But the order that sealed the indictment said that it would be unsealed upon Stone’s arrest, which was about 15 minutes before DOJ posted it. documentcloud.org/documents/5694…
The dumbest part of this whole conspiracy is the idea that CNN must have had advance notice of a Mueller indictment but decided to sit on the scoop.

To be fair, the argument that President Trump doesn't know what he's talking about is one his administration has made repeatedly (and successfully) in federal court.
usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
We're on the opposite side of one of those cases, so I suppose we're constrained to say that we disagree.
(It seems to me to be an unusual state of affairs when @usatoday is the one trying to persuade a court that the president should be presumed to know what he's talking about, and the Justice Department is saying he doesn't.)

Trump has told advisers he will nominate William Barr to be the next attorney general; announcement could come in days wapo.st/2rnsIiq?tid=ss…
William Barr in Nov. 2017 told NYT there was more basis to investigate the Clinton-Uranium One deal than whether Trump colluded with Russia.

“To the extent it is not pursuing these matters, the department is abdicating its responsibility."

nytimes.com/2017/11/14/us/…
Throughout the Iran-Contra pardon deliberations, Mr. Bush consulted with Attorney General William P. Barr and Brent Scowcroft, the national security adviser, who had sat on a Presidential review panel that examined the affair in early 1987.

Now who is LISA BARSOOMIAN? Let’s learn a little about Mrs. Lisa H. Barsoomian’s background.

Lisa H. Barsoomian, an Attorney that graduated from Georgetown Law, is a protégé of James Comey and Robert Mueller.

Barsoomian, with her boss R. Craig Lawrence, represented Bill...
...Clinton in 1998.

Lawrence also represented:

Robert Mueller three times;

James Comey five times;

Barack Obama 45 times;

Kathleen Sebelius 56 times;

Bill Clinton 40 times; and

Hillary Clinton 17 times.
Between 1998 and 2017, Barsoomian herself represented the FBI at least five times.

You may be saying to yourself, OK, who cares? Who cares about the work history of this Barsoomian woman?

Apparently, someone does, because someone out there cares so much that they’ve “purged”...

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:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
