this ENTIRE news cycle driven by Barr’s press release
nobody has any idea what’s actually in Mueller report—nobody
imagine if Kenn Starr had to file his report to DOJ (instead of Congress), and Janet Reno released 4-pg summary and DC press said, ‘well that’s all we need!’

I like Pete, but I hope he didn’t sleepwalk through 2016 and he’s not naive to think if Dems just focus on feel-good policy in 2020 they will be showered in glowing press coverage in the Trump era
Hillary had policy spilling out all over the place—press couldn’t care less. too busy covering a) her emails. b) Trump attacks on her
I detailed it all, prior to the election; mediamatters.org/blog/2016/11/0…

I mentioned this last night—my hunch is press is privately humiliated that don’t have access to most important govt report in 25 yrs. their response? pretend they’ve all read Mueller Report!!
it’s an astonishing charade we’re watching unfold
the DC press actively help a corrupt administration withhold report on 2-yr investigation into a sitting president. this is a very bad week for journalism, folks

Barr can't get away with this.

NYT: “the Justice Department outlined a longer schedule, saying that it will have its OWN SUMMARY ready to send to lawmakers within weeks”

Is Barr seriously trying to get away with submitting another “summary”—rather than Mueller report itself?
The author of that New York Times report is @peterbakernyt. In response to questions raised about reference to DOJ preparing a second “summary” of Mueller report, Baker tweeted that the Times is now looking further into this question:



(h/t @brianbeutler)
In his nomination hearing, Barr dodged several Qs. @SenFeinstein finally pinned him noting he had discretion to release full report.

Look at what also happened.

Feinstein: "Will you provide...Mueller's report to Congress, not your rewrite or a summary?"

Read Barr's non answer:

THIS

#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?"

Notes from a Nasty🚺
@NotesFromNasty
🚨🚨🚨 12 Russians indicted for hacking the DNC. Thanks Pete Williams for reading the embargoed press release aloud in the background of justice.gov/live #mueller
Here is the indictment of the 12 Russians for election hacking. justice.gov/file/1080281/d…
Rosenstein makes clear that Russian military intended to affect US election. Whether or not they did is not addressed in this indictment doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
