Implication here is that Barr has corrupted entire process, cannot be trusted to redact, or oversee ongoing investigations and prosecutions coming from Mueller investigation; that Barr himself has become part of the cover up.
2/Lots of recent precedent of GOP lawyers/judges/Senators taking extraordinary steps to seize/maintain power - Bush v Gore, Comey letter, not seating Garland, suppressing info on Kavanaugh. Now Barr. Corrupt oligarchs need legal enablers.
3/So chances are Muelller stood by precedent on obstruction, said DOJ can't indict sitting President, but provided information to House which should trigger a serious impeachment inquiry? Meaning that Barr giving Trump pass irrelevant, a ruse. Seems likely now.
4/Reminder - support for release of full Mueller report is broad and deep.
5/My new thread on what should have been in the Barr letter but was left out. That Barr raised no concerns abt anything Mueller found, or failed to convey urgency of protecting current elections is a sign of just how political the non summary letter was.
6/DOJ statement today defending Barr a LOLer!

Yeah Mr Barr says, this Russia stuff, "no biggie." Nothing to see here. No urgency to learn, and protect ourselves.
2/More evidence of the kind of new threats democracies face, and that one would assume is discussed at length in the Mueller Report. Will be interesting to see if it makes into the final Barr Report.
3/Shockingly lots of inauthentic pro-Bibi Twitter accounts were found and taken down in the Israeli election. nytimes.com/2019/03/31/wor…

1/Q for US now is are we seeing a rise in right wing violence, or right wing *political* violence? We've now had 3 arrests in last few months of domestic extremists attacking/threatening to attack targets connected to Trump's own narrative/world view. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
2/We had the Trump supporter arrested this past weekend. We also had this wildly ambitious and dangerous attack against prominent Democrats. nytimes.com/2018/10/25/nyr…
3/And then there was the horrors of Pittsburgh. bbc.com/news/world-us-…

1/So let's discuss what a normal POTUS would be doing to address the border crisis - convening Oval Office mtgs with Congressional leaders, sending his Sec of State to the region for talks, working with regional orgs like OAS to craft regional approaches.
2/Instead of working towards a solution the President and his team have chosen, it appears, to double down on a strategy we already know hasn't worked either politically or from a policy perspective - "harsher, hard line" policies, whatever that could be.
3/Fundamental issue for Trump now is that the stuff he wants - changes in US law - require Dem votes, and Dems will ask for something in return - legalization of 11m for example - which are ideologically impossible for Trump/Miller to accept. More here: nbcnews.com/think/opinion/…

1. What's stopping @RepJerryNadler from issuing #Mueller subpoena?
Is it #ExecutivePrivilege? The idea that there is executive privilege over Mueller testifying in congress is beyond absurd. Executive privilege is to protect Presidential communications with advisers.
2. This was a criminal probe of the President. There is no possibility that Executive Privilege attached especially where it's likely he took the 5th. This is a red herring.
3. Grand Jury Rule 6(e)? Barr can easily obtain a waiver from Beryl Howell the DC chief judge. Again nonesense.
National Security? Sure, that's what redactions are for.

Tucked away in this article is a highly significant revelation (no doubt made inadvertently) by two anonymous DOJ officials. 1/10 tinyurl.com/y696fjj7
I have argued for a long time that the question to ask about when the MUELLER REPORT will be submitted and released is not: “When will Mueller have ALL the evidence he could obtain?” 2/10
The appropriate question is: “When will #Mueller have ENOUGH evidence?”--that is, enough evidence for Congress to proceed with impeaching Trump and removing him from office and indicting people for campaign collusion. 3/10

It's not possible to comment intelligently on #Mueller & the entire #investigation without reading LICENSED TO LIE: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice, self-funded and published in 2014 for the purpose of educating the public on the need for #CriminalJusticeReform
2. It crosses @GOP & @DNC administrations but has come to expose serious political abuses of #DOJ. It's made a lot of powerful people very angry.
The @FedSoc has not let me speak on topic since the book came out.
My own #BarAssociation @TexasBarCLE won't let me speak on it. WHY?
3. The book is TRUE, reads like a legal thriller but NAMES prosecutors who rose to positions of great power on the backs of people they wrongfully convicted.
It NAMES federal judges who turned a blind eye to egregious injustices.
No one has challenged a word of it, nor can they.

Trump: “There was no talking to Russia. There was no phone calls. I didn’t make phone calls to Russia. I didn’t receive phone calls. I didn’t have meetings. I didn’t have texts. Anything. I have nothing to do with Russia.” #mueller tinyurl.com/yahwud9s
2/ It’s very telling that this is the way Trump thinks collusion has to work to be collusion. But no one in his or her right mind has ever supposed that the collusion would be that ham-fisted. #mueller
3/ It’s not as though Mueller is trying to find an email that says: “I hereby commit myself to lifting sanctions if and when elected, if you, Vladimir Putin, agree to help my campaign by hacking and disseminating Hillary’s emails.” --(signed) Donald J. Trump.

Mini Thread on Obstruction,

1/ The proven case of Obstruction has nothing todo with firing Comey. The simplest most provable case is Sarbox
2/ In 2002 Congress passed the Public Company Accountability Reform & Investor Protection Act known as Sarbanes-Oxley AKA Sarbox
3/ As the title suggest it is financial regulation that attempts to hold companies accountable for actions detrimental to investors.
