The square bracket might be the most consequential #punctuation mark in US history. #Barr's [T] shows he OMITTED the opening portion of this KEY #Mueller sentence in his summary. Something came before "[T]he investigation did not establish..." #ReleaseTheFullMuellerReport thread
Why did #Barr shorten the most exculpatory quotation in his summary? It's not as if he had a tight word count. If #Mueller completely cleared Trump & others, why not include the full sentence?
And why did #Barr the quote the sentence in such a way that he needed to show he'd changed a lower-case to upper-case T? He could've written: The report states that "the investigation ... " and avoided the fussy [T].
I have no doubt that #Barr altered this quotation to frame it in the most positive way for the president, & he'll be able to point to the [T] as evidence that he wasn't trying to HIDE the fact that part of sentence was omitted.

Time to #ReleaseTheFullMuellerReport.
Glad to see @Lawrence highlighting the same [T] on #LastWord!

.@RollingStone Your reporter EJ Dickson claims there's a "clear link" bwn opioid prescriptions & addiction. In fact, the #CDC has long held that 96.96% of patients prescribed #opioids do NOT develop misuse or addiction. thread
2 Further evidence against Dickson's claim of a "clear link" is the fact that opioid scripts are at an 18 year low & have dropped every year since 2011. But during that same time, ODs have skyrocketed. That's because addiction/ODs are driven by ILLICIT, not prescription drugs.
3 Getting this wrong has dire consequences. I'm the director of headsUPmigraine & learned yesterday of yet another young woman who's DEAD because she was forced off safe, effective medication, despite being 1 of the 96.96% who relied on opioids without addiction.

Why didn't POTUS fire [Rod Rosenstein] after reporting re: offer to wear wire?
Why did #WHITAKER / #BARR retain [Rod Rosenstein] to the END?
Who signed off on the MUELLER summary report submitted by BARR yesterday?
Who signed fraudulent #FISA warrants?
WHO APPOINTED MUELLER AS SPECIAL COUNSEL?
WHO HAS FULL CONTROL?
OPTICS ARE VERY IMPORTANT.

Deputy AG Rosenstein assigned Mueller to "oversee the previously-confirmed FBI investigation of Russian gvmt efforts to influence 2016 election & related matters" abcnews.go.com/Politics/rober…

1) @RealDonaldTrump @WhiteHouse @POTUS
#QAnon post No. 2706...
#Q dropped 3 images & text aimed at personnel engaged in an overseas [surveillance?] operation. These images are from Shanghai time which is 13 hrs ahead of EST. At this time "Track 7B-DS' (7 B=targets? Deep State?)
2) The first drop was missing #Q's tripcode which set off #Anons. This 2nd drop has it added , confirming the first drop & is the reply. The clock shows. a time which is 4min prior to the drops. This is clearly #China. Seems we must have permission to be doing this op.
3) The agenda, if nothing else was to let the targets know there are being watched. If this is a continuum of the recent LA OP, there may have been another takedown. Active tracking ensues on 3 targets. These aren't #Anon image sets, so much as data sets released for one of #Q's

Sen. Dianne Feinstein: “Top of mind for all of us is the ongoing investigation. Importantly, the attorney general must be willing to resist political pressure and be committed to protecting this investigation.” #BarrHearing
Sen. Orrin Hatch says Barr, in his last stint as attorney general, “prioritized fighting violent crime and became known as the law and order attorney general.”

Criminal justice reformers worry about that history: bit.ly/2sqwzfb #BarrHearing
Barr takes the floor at his confirmation hearing and introduces his family to the committee.

"My son ... will someday be in the Department of Justice," he says. #BarrHearing

 "Who was our friend when the world was our foe." - 
Oliver Wendell Holmes, 1871.

The alliance formed between President Abraham Lincoln and Tsar Alexander II.

Both men assassinated.

2.
 Knowing what the United States was going to be facing from the British Empire in the aftermath of the Crimea War, Tsar Alexander II, in 1857, began proposing to the United States that they purchase the Russian Territory of Alaska.
3.
 American control would prevent the British Empire from seizing Alaska and establishing a military presence on Russia’s far eastern coast— but
the US wasn’t able to do at the time due to their rising fears of civil war breaking out.

1. HUGE #QAnon drop tonight reveals much on #Manafort, #Mueller, #SethRich, #MS13, #CrowdStrike, #Clowns, #BorderSecurity, #Russia, #Twitter, #Zuckerberg, #Traitor, #Obama, #Brennan, #Youtube, #2A, #Pope, #JaredCohen, and more #Q
2. #QAnon states "It was not supposed to be revealed yet that @POTUS is not under criminal investigation" #Q speaks of a "Traitor", and speaks of "HUSSEIN control, HUSSEIN "STATE SECRETS" mentioning "Awan", "AMERICA FOR SALE", and President Trump's reference to "Cheatin' Obama".
3. #QAnon reveals much that suddenly makes sense about the phony Mueller investigation. He points out something painfully obvious but NEVER pointed out on #ClownMedia: There has been "No investigation into WikiLeaks receipt of information"! Relying on #CrowdStrike!!!???
