Chuck Rosenberg to @Maddow: If Trump demanded to see the Mueller report, Barr would have to give it to him – hopefully after telling him it's a terrible idea – because Barr works for Trump.

@neal_katyal: Under SC regs, Trump has that right.

Trump likely has a copy of it by now.
Barr will consult with the White House [where Barr's son-in-law now works advising Trump on legal issues] on any confidential internal info potentially subject to executive privilege. So Barr's giving the WH a preview of the Mueller Report, @Delavegalaw?

On Saturday, Trump's attorney general, Bill Barr, and DAG Rod Rosenstein were cloistered inside the Justice Department debating how to present the findings of the Mueller Report. Special Counsel Mueller did not participate in the process.

"Mueller did not participate in the process."

Barr's letter to Congress re the Mueller Report: "I intend to consult with DAG Rosenstein and Special Counsel Mueller to determine what other information from the report can be released to Congress."

Executive privilege battle looms as Congress seeks access to Mueller Files. Barr [whose son-in-law now works in the WH counsel’s office advising Trump on "legal issues"] will 'consult' with the White House on executive privilege.

ICYMI, Feb 14, 2019: Tyler McGaughey, the husband of Barr's youngest daughter, lands a job in the White House counsel’s office, where he'll advise Trump on legal issues. McGaughey’s work will “intersect” with the Russia investigation.

#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?"

NEW: FBI Opened Counterintelligence Inquiry Into Whether Trump Was Secretly Working on Behalf of Russia Against the United States - The New York Times nytimes.com/2019/01/11/us/…
FBI was suspicious of candidate Trump’s ties to Russia but held off opening an investigation…in part b/c they were uncertain how to proceed w/ an inquiry of such sensitivity & magnitude. Then Trump’s conduct as POTUS—firing Comey, bragging to Russians in Oval abt it—changed that
Fmr FBI Counterintel Asst Dir @FrankFigliuzzi1: Investigation reported in @nytimes would have to have surpassed the evidentiary threshold from preliminary into full inquiry. The worst case scenario is investigating whether the POTUS is working for Russia against the US. #Maddow

Trump’s rant at WH meeting today even made Bill Shine—disgraced FoxNews exec now head White House PR guy—squirm. He couldn’t sit still, as Trump rattled off his usual ignorant propaganda talking points and self-praise.
“What’s he done for me?”—Trump on Mattis, says he fired him because “I want results.” This rant at WH cabinet meeting is just incredible. It’s like he’s on speed. He just can’t shut up🤐. TV cameras should pan out—to capture the reaction of people in room.
How dumb is Trump? Really really REALLY dumb: "The reason Russia went into Afghanistan was because terrorists were going into Russia. They were right to be there. That's why there's no Soviet Union."

It's a miracle we've survived 2 years of this. Not sure about the next two.
