So proud of @RepJerryNadler (my congressman:)
These are very strong words from Chairman of the House Judiciary committee about Barr's Mueller report summary

Nadler is questioning "very concerning discrepancies" & "decision making"

There is definitely more to this story than we know

Per @matthewamiller Mueller intended for congress to decide about obstruction of justice and Barr stepped in to decide instead
This from @SenBlumenthal
This from @neal_katyal who helped draft the special counsel rules at DOJ
And @PreetBharara with questions
Great point from @BarbMcQuade
As @Sifill_LDF points out Barr concluded over a year ago that Mueller’s “obstruction theory is fatally misconceived"

At House Intel hearing on Putin's playbook @RepSpeier asked about Austria's Raiffeisen Bank & Russia - Raiffeisen funded Trump Toronto deal w/$310 mil & never pursued repayment

Heather Conley from @CSIS noted how often Austrian banks & energy cos appeared in research on Russia
Most reporting onTrump's Toronto deal focused on loan made to Trump's partner Alex Shnaider by VEB, but in June 2017 I noted initial funding for Trump Toronto was from Raiffeisen RZB which did significant business w/Dmitry Firtash (& reportedly Mogilevich)
Here's @RepSpeier asking about Austria's Raiffeisen Bank & Russia - and pointing out that Raiffeisen funded Trump Toronto deal w/$310 mil & Raiffeisen didn't pursue repayment (RZB did very few deals in North America, and loan terms were very unusual)

I'm not going to do a long thread of highlights because the full article should be read for the excellent research and transparency - the link in section below is to a google spreadsheet that includes ten years of data from the 990s reviewed

Attorney General Barr made the case against charging Trump with obstruction before he was nominated as AG. His hasty decision to let Trump off the hook doesn't exonerate Trump -- it casts a cloud of doubt over his presidency.

My latest, for @BylineTimes:
bylinetimes.com/2019/03/24/bre…
Both Barr & Rosenstein had compelling reasons to recuse themselves from the obstruction case. Barr had already attacked the case; Rosenstein's conduct was part of the case.

But instead, they took it upon themselves to go *beyond* Mueller's findings.
bylinetimes.com/2019/03/24/bre…
Within 48 hours of receiving the report, Trump’s hand-picked attorney general, Barr, and deputy attorney general, Rod Rosenstein, let Trump off on obstruction charges — something that Mueller wasn’t ready to do after 22 months of reviewing the evidence.

Lindsey Graham is Nunes #2. Spouts Trump propaganda at #Barr hearing. Reads Strzok texts, slams Steele dossier, slams FBI opening counterintel investigation of Trump: “We’re relying on you to clean this place up…make sure they don’t have an agenda. Will u look into it?”—“I will”
#Barr says “nothing could be more dangerous than political interference” in an investigation. But also says it’s completely fine for a president to fire US attorneys for political reasons “because they’re political appointments” 🤔
#Barr: It would be a crime for president Trump to promise a pardon in exchange for a person not incriminating him in an investigation.
