If, as I believe, there is currently a stand-off betw Mueller and Barr over (i) indictments recommended by SCO, and/or (ii) release of an already extant SCO report, how and when will you address it ?
Continued impasse is unsustainable and unhealthy. If the House's response will be to subpoena Mueller and/or the report, with the likelihood of steadfast resistance by Barr all the way to the Supreme Court, shouldn't we start that process as soon as possible ?
You each tweeted @ Barr on Feb. 24, demanding release of the report. Your tweets were clearly coordinated, and I presume reflected concern based on knowledge of what is playing out behind closed doors. If accurate, the impasse is now 3-4 weeks old. The country needs to know.

As we burrow into warm beds, surrounded by loved ones, remember: there are thousands of children, some of them infants, in custody of our government and separated from their parents. Our govt. doesn't even know how many it has taken, or where they or their families are. +
Some of these blameless children are held in chain-link cages. Some are subject to sexual and other abuse. All are traumatized. If you care at all, you feel the shame that attaches to us all. +
Also remember: in ALL of our communities, across the entire country, there are undocumented immigrants going to bed tonight fearing the knock on the door. They are, almost universally, good neighbors, hard workers and taxpayers pursuing wholesome, productive lives. +

@HardballChris talking abt Trump's hiding his grades, his jealousy of Obama, etc. asserts that Obama was "named Editor of the Harvard Law Review in a blind test, no one knew who he was, whether he was Black, etc. He got it on merit." This is nonsense.+
Here's how it works (as a former editor of the Harvard Law Review): at the end of the 1st year, the top 30 or so students are selected (both by grades and by a writing competition) for the Law Review. This selection is, clearly, an academic distinction.
In their 2nd year, Review members perform subordinate editing and research functions under direction of the 3rd year. At the end of their 2nd year, looking toward assumption of overall responsibility in their 3rd year, 2nd year Review members meet to select a President.

@PollyCHaag @tribelaw I have been re-reading U.S. Grant's two volume 'Personal Memoirs' (an heirloom in our family). I have been struck by many similarities between the machinations of Southerners prior to actual Secession, and also by some of Grant's comments +
@PollyCHaag @tribelaw about a deep rooted tradition in the ruling classes of the South that rule properly rested w/ an elite that oppressed not only slaves but "poor white trash" and that, in preserving that rule, the ends always justified the means. +
@PollyCHaag @tribelaw We should remember our history, and 'know ourselves' (as Americans). 'Sectional' traditions and beliefs that prefigured the Civil War are still alive. McConnell and his ilk are, in my view, fighting the latest version of the 'Lost Cause' (GOP's terminal decline). +

#Barr reply to @SenBlumenthal

“There are two different reports…Under the current regulations, the special counsel report is confidential. The report that goes public would be a report by the Attorney General.”

Opposite of reassuring that he'll make Mueller report public.
Senator @maziehirono follows up

"What I am hearing you saying is that...neither Congress nor public will get the Mueller report because that's confidential."

#Barr dodges: will release information "consistent with the regulations"—regulations which he says make it confidential!
Bingo

@SenFeinstein's precise followup:

"There is nothing in the regulations that prevent you from providing Mueller's report to Congress…the regs do not state that confidentiality means the report cannot be provided to Congress…Will you provide Mueller's report to Congress?"

1. Big decode: “#StealthBombers and #StupidQuestions”: @POTUS just gave us a hint! Abby Phillips asks, “Do you expect Whittaker to rein in the #Mueller probe?” He replies, “That is such a stupid question.” Mueller is the #StealthBomber!!! Here’s why:

It's Time to Take Back Our Country

The forces of ignorance have had domain over our country the past two years.

We've seen hypocrisy, injustice, racism, misogyny, xenophobia, anti-Semitism and self-aggrandizement by the few at the expense of the many on an unprecedented scale.
What used to be the GOP is now the POT (Party of Trump). They want to:

>>Divide us.

>>Take away our healthcare.

>>Take away Social Security.

>>Defund Planned Parenthood.

>>Disallow pre-existing conditions.

>>Take away a woman's right to choose.
>>Tear children away from immigrant families.

>>Make us believe that African nations are shitholes.

>>Make us believe that all Mexicans are rapists and gang members.

>>Make us believe that Puerto-Rican Americans are "less than" any other type of American.
