NEW: Trump earlier this year told McConnell to prioritize confirmation of his IRS chief counsel pick, Michael Desmond [who worked for a time with Trump Org tax lawyer Sheri Dillon], saying it was higher priority than even Barr's confirmation.

Just a reminder that prior to becoming Trump's Ambassador to Israel, David Friedman was law partner to Trump personal attorney Marc Kasowitz, who, until recently, also represented Russian oligarchs Oleg Deripaska & Viktor Vekselberg and Russia's Sberbank.

I thought it was unlawful for Trump to interfere with Ways and Means Committee Chairman Neal's request to IRS for Trump's tax returns, @Lawrence?
It's a crime for Trump to tell the IRS not to cooperate with Chairman Neal’s request for his tax returns [punishable by up to 5 years in prison]. Title 26 §7217: Prohibition on executive branch influence over taxpayer audits & investigations.
via @Lawrence msnbc.com/the-last-word/…
In letter to Treasury, Trump's new attorney attacks Chairman @RepRichardNeal's reasons for requesting Trump's tax returns: "Chairman Neal's request is not about policy. It's about scoring political points against Trump."

NEW: On the same day [Jun 8, 2018] Bill Barr submitted his 19-page audition memo excoriating Mueller's obstruction probe to DOJ, Barr was invited to meet with DOJ officials. Barr's lunch meeting with DOJ then occurred on Jun 27.

Former DoD special counsel @rgoodlaw: “...yet another data point that suggests Barr’s outlandish memo signaled he would protect Trump even on highly dubious or erroneous legal grounds and that he was swept into the administration on that basis.”
#Maddow
In Jun 2017, Bill Barr told The Hill that Mueller's obstruction probe into Trump was “asinine.” That same month, Barr met with Trump about becoming Trump’s personal defense lawyer for the Mueller investigation.

💣AlarmingEvidence💣

Members of SCO complained that the evidence they gathered on obstruction was alarming & significant.

MR includes “detailed accts of Trump campaign contacts with RU” & depicts a “campaign whose members were manipulated by a sophisticated RU intel operation.”
💣AlarmingEvidence💣

📌SCO provided clean summaries, for public consumption, which Barr suppressed & choose instead to spin a false narrative instead.

📌The disclaimer at issue is boilerplate—CYA.

Barr has not sought approval from GJ to release protected info, if any exists.
💣Alarming3💣

The ‘row’ btwn SC & Barr happened as rumored weeks ago.

Barr reportedly agreed to indict the 3 Trump kids & Kush re 💰💦, but balked at indicting Trump.

Did SC then agree to punt the matter to Congress re Trump indictment?

Did Barr breach any agreement w/ SC?

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
