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.

Schumer: Barr "must not give Pres. Trump, his lawyers, or his staff any sneak preview of special counsel Mueller's findings or evidence, and the White House must not be allowed to interfere in decisions about what parts ... should be made public."

BREAKING: “The Special Counsel states that ‘while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him’” and leaves it the AG to determine if there was a crime. Barr says not sufficient evidence to determine Trump committed a crime.
Here is a copy of the letter Barr sent to Congress on HIS conclusions of the Mueller Report: judiciary.house.gov/sites/democrat…
Barr: “Special Counsel states that 'while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.’”

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."

THREAD:

“CONSPIRACY OF THE RIGHTEOUS”
Title by @glennkirschner2

- Last year faced by a rogue POTUS, a GOP Congress beholden to Trump & illegitimate Acting AG Matt Whitaker installed by Trump to monitor & sabotage the Mueller probe and SDNY, Mueller reaches to Bill Barr

1/x
- DOJ policy per 1973 & 2000 OLC memos posit a sitting POTUS can’t be indicted & the GOP Senate would never convict Trump.

- Before Trump replaces Whitaker with an AG that will quash the Mueller report, Mueller & Barr hatch a plan to bring Trump to justice for his crimes.

2/x
- Mueller & Barr are good friends/socialize together, attend the same church together on Sunday & Barr has attended Mueller’s daughter wedding.

- Barr, a good friend to Mueller, suddenly writes a memo lambasting Mueller & his probe out of nowhere & submits it to DOJ & WH.

3/x

Conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi in plea negotiations with Mueller, which could shed light on whether Trump or his advisers were linked to WikiLeaks’ release of hacked Democratic emails in 2016 washingtonpost.com/politics/stone…
"Word is friend in embassy plans 2 more dumps. One shortly after I'm back. 2nd in Oct. Impact planned to be very damaging."

Corsi informed Stone about the planned WikiLeaks Dem email releases 2 months in advance.

And Mueller has the exchange. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"Stone responded, "Get to (Assange) [a]t Ecuadorian Embassy in London and get the pending (WikiLeaks) emails."

Corsi passed the request along to conservative author Ted Malloch in London"

(1) THREAD: #RobPorter , #SecurityClearances & SERIOUS #Trump #WhiteHouse PROBLEMS

When did the White House know of the serious domestic abuse concerns regarding Rob Porter, the now fallen White House Staff Secretary?
(2) This question is crucial to determining whether those in the White House deliberately ignored security warnings and instead politically decided to retain Porter.
(3) As I told @JudyWoodruff on @NewsHour tonight there were at least 3-4 opportunities where WH had enough info to realize there were serious problems w/Porter obtaining a clearance and they could have, and perhaps should have, taken action. pbs.org/newshour/show/….
