2- Here's the copy:

3-And Trump barely reacted at all when told the news in front of the press.. Has he given up? He said that he's under audit, which I guess he'll now have to REALLY prove!
#WednesdayMotivation thehill.com/homenews/admin…
4- I've been trying to quickly research whether Trump can claim executive privilege to have the IRS withhold the tax returns that Ways & Means have now requested. Anybody know? Would exec priv work & the IRS then withhold his returns-he's not under audit..#WednesdayWisdom
5- Eric Swalwell is talking on MSNBC and he seems very certain that Trump can't legally protect this and withhold those returns. Guess we'll see... @RepSwalwell

OH! READ THIS ⤵️Breaking NYT: someone on Mueller's team is talking and said that the report is 'more damaging for Trump than Barr revealed'

2-"WASHINGTON — Some of Robert S. Mueller III’s investigators have told associates that Attorney General William P. Barr failed to adequately portray the findings of their inquiry and that they were more troubling for President Trump than Mr. Barr indicated, according to
3-"government officials and others familiar with their simmering frustrations. At stake in the dispute — the first evidence of tension between Mr. Barr and the special counsel’s office — is who shapes the public’s initial understanding of one of the most consequential government

"The Politico/Morning Consult poll released Wednesday found that 59 percent of voters said they don't have much or any trust at all in the president on health care.." No big surprise in this.. #WednesdayMotivation
thehill.com/homenews/admin…
2-"The poll also found that a plurality of voters support the Affordable Care Act, also known as ObamaCare. Almost half of voters, 47 percent, said they approve of the health-care law, compared to 41 percent who said they disapprove of it.
3-"Additionally, 45 percent of voters said they trust Democrats more than Republicans in Congress on health care, while 35 percent said they have more trust in Republicans." Just the threat of this happening can help Dems take both houses of Cong in 2020, if they play it right!

Dem leadership are saying that they won't squeeze the DOJ the same way that GOP did over the Nunes memo last yr, as it raises grave concerns for Nat Sec-unless they have to as a last resort.. #WednesdayWisdom
politico.com/story/2019/04/…
2-"Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee last year mounted an unprecedented campaign to force the public release of classified intelligence. Democrats called the effort reckless and misleading, and the FBI said it presented "grave concerns" for national security.
3-"But Trump blessed the maneuver & ultimately declassified the material Republicans revealed in the so-called "Nunes Memo..Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has said that Attorney General William Barr might try to bottle up Mueller's most explosive findings by classifying them,

Mueller’s Team is seething as their findings are far more damaging for Trump than Barr revealed.

SCO had prepared their own summaries of their findings that Barr willfully suppressed & instead substituted his own far more flattering summation in the 4 page letter.
💣CoverUp2💣

The normally silent OSC clearly felt Barr mischaracterized their findings to the extent they felt the need to send a warning shot across the bow.

Why did Barr mischaracterized OSC’s findings?

Manipulate the narrative?

Suppress the truth to the American public?
💣CoverUp3💣

📌The SCO’s investigators had already written multiple summaries of the report, and some believe Barr should have included more of their material in the 4-page letter

📌Kush identified as senior WH official whose security clearance was denied by career officials.

Thread: On Dealing with Congress – Properly!

[H/T: @WinstonLeslie ]

1. The nation has over $22 trillion in long-term debt. We have been engaged in “overseas ventures” (aka “small wars”) continuously for almost 20 years. The Chinese have been stealing our lunch for 40 years.
2. Obamacare was foisted on an unsuspecting public, resulting in skyrocketing premiums and loss of long-time general practitioners. And Congress has, in general, fought the implementation of the MAGA agenda for the past two years while spending much time “investigating” POTUS.
3. Congress fiddles; the country burns (apologies to the Emperor Nero and the historian Suetonious). And the only accountability that exists is to the voters although the reelection decks are stacked against outsider-challengers (~90% of incumbents win reelection!).

SCOOP: House Ways and Means is readying a request for years of Trump’s personal tax returns that should land at the IRS in the next few weeks. Democrats are prepared to "take all necessary steps," including litigation, to get them.
by @HeidiNBC #Maddow nbcnews.to/2Vp9RR0
Via @harrylitman, Feb 20, 2019: To get Trump’s tax returns, Democrats just need to send a letter. "Richard Neal, as head of Ways and Means, could request Trump’s returns tomorrow and Mnuchin would have no apparent legal basis for refusal or delay."
#Maddow washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
Michael Cohen: "I presume Trump is not under audit [Trump's excuse for not releasing his tax returns]. Mr. Trump said he never wanted to release his tax returns because he didn't want a group of tax experts running through them."

Tick Tock, Trump.

BREAKING: Judge orders government produce discovery to state AGs opposing citizenship question in the Census, finding the states made a “strong showing of a claim of bad faith” on the part of @SecretaryRoss.
Ross told the House Ways and Means Committee that the Justice Department requested the citizenship question to enforce the Voting Rights Act.

“It now appears those statements were potentially untrue,” Judge Furman said from the bench.
The government must turn over privilege log and initial disclosures by July 23.

The states can pursue 10 fact depositions from the Department of Justice and the Department of Commerce.

Furman reserved decision on the motion to dismiss, but he called it “unlikely” he will.
