This is wrong in so many ways. I'll give you the simplest example: say that the case for impeachment against Donald Trump involves the description of bad acts (but not criminal acts) by *people other than Trump*, which it *most certainly does*. How could DOJ withhold *that* info?
1/ The way we're discussing how to prove a crime/impeachment is farcical. The idea Barr could put Trump above the law by refusing to release any info on him because he can't be indicted as POTUS is insane. The same is true for not releasing supporting info involving other people.
2/ Imagine that Barr agrees, for instance, to send all the investigative info on Trump to Congress for possible impeachment proceedings—but *blacks out all other names* in the same way the Manafort filing blacked out all non-Manafort/non-Gates/non-Kilimnik names. See the problem?

(THREAD) This thread contains the HIGHLIGHTS of Michael Cohen's opening remarks to the House Oversight Committee. Cohen's statement may be the most damning public statement ever made about a President of the United States in American history. I hope you will read on and RETWEET.
1/ "I recognize that some of you may doubt and attack me on my credibility. It is for this reason that I have incorporated into this opening statement documents that are irrefutable, and demonstrate that the information you will hear is accurate and truthful."
2/ "I regret the day I said yes to Mr. Trump. I regret all the help and support I gave him along the way. I am ashamed of my own failings, and I publicly accepted responsibility for them by pleading guilty in the SDNY. I am ashamed of my weakness and misplaced loyalty."

Every time a member of Trump's Congressional FLACK PACK speaks he not only embarrasses the Congress but makes Boss Trump look even more guilty
Jim Jordan is another member of Trump's FLACK PACK who history won't forget
It's hard being the dimmest FLACK PACK member but Louis Gohmert manages

It's been so amazing watching right-wing Twitter try to drag criticism of John Cornyn's quoting of Mussolini as an implausible reading of GOP values when right-wing Twitter has made a *godhead* of a man who openly idolizes dictators around the world, from Putin to Kim to Duterte.
Indeed the president himself has quoted Mussolini approvingly, so when Democrats saw Sen. Cornyn doing the same thing, they of course—knowing that *nothing* the right-wing Mussolini said applies to Democrats—assumed that Cornyn was merely emulating the right-wing's "god emperor."
If I were Senator John Cornyn, or a member of the far right of the Republican Party, I'd see the internet's reaction to one of my leaders quoting Mussolini and immediately react as they do in the well-known "Mitchell and Webb" sketch: "Are we the baddies?"

John Stoehr's Editorial Board
@johnastoehr
1. Today’s Editorial Board is about the conditions by which we determine what debate topics are and are not tolerable. My inspiration is Jeff Bezos.
2. The billionaire founder of Amazon alleged yesterday that AMI, the firm owning the National Enquirer, tried to extort and blackmail him. Before I get to that, let me start at the beginning.
3. When it comes to understanding why powerful people do what they do, I look for the simplest explanation for complex phenomena. So when people tell me Lindsey Graham has been compromised, I’m dismissive. Yes, Graham was against Donald Trump before he was for him, but so what?

#Trump is going to speak in the Rose Garden any minute now. Is he going to lie a bunch about reopening the government? Is he just going to yell "no collusion! witch hunt!" over and over again? Both? Stay tuned!
Oh hell, #Trump is going to take questions too. This is going to be a sh*tshow.
#Trump is running about a half hour late. I wonder if he's spent this whole time on the phone with Ann Coulter, begging for permission to cave?

Based on this nbc data you can still find lots of bot/troll accounts twitter missed.
how to:
Search hashtags ON a date.
Search for the actual tweets.
the accounts all "look" the same, low status counts, low follower counts, created at the same tnbcnews.com/tech/social-me…gbquNiCcd2
just using that and a tip from @z3dster gets me 6 accounts to look at.

@MarlonStepherd
@Mich_Heart_Rt
@DannyyyyPayton
@Joe_B_R
@worynynizuzy
@rogyvahumin

those are all troll factory/internet research agency accounts.
so pull the accounts that follow them.
you get all these shady looking accounts with the same stats.
drop the false positives, drop the duplicates. you get about 180 accounts worth looking at.

#Trump:

"UNLOCK the next mystery, get ready for the next adventure - you know who you are."

"NEVER QUIT. NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER EVER."
