When asked by @SenatorShaheen why he wants a probe into the origins of the Russia probe, Barr says because **he believes the US government spied on the Trump campaign.**

Barr is a full-blown conspiracy theorist just like Nunes and Trump.
@atrupar #BarrHearing #Maddow
Recall @SenWhitehouse's concern in Dec 2018 about "Barr's strange calls for the Justice Department to investigate fringe conspiracy theories..."
#Maddow
Barr's claim that "spying DID occur" on the Trump campaign has not been corroborated publicly in any way.
Jun 6, 2018: GOP congressmen blast Trump’s spy conspiracy. Speaker RYAN and GOP Intel Committee members GOWDY & ROONEY say there's ZERO truth that a US spy was planted inside Trump's campaign, as Trump falsely claimed.

NEW: Trump's White House tried to pressure US immigration authorities into releasing immigrant detainees onto the streets of “sanctuary cities,” including in @SpeakerPelosi's district, as retaliation against Trump’s political foes.

This is insane.
#Maddow wapo.st/2Ga7ziB?tid=ss…
The Trump White House believed it could punish Democrats — including Pelosi — by busing and releasing ICE detainees into their districts, according to 2 DHS whistleblowers who independently reported the Stephen Miller-led busing plan to Congress.
#Maddow
“The extent of this admin’s cynicism and cruelty cannot be overstated,” said @SpeakerPelosi spox @AshleyEtienne09. “Using human beings — including little children — as pawns in their warped game to perpetuate fear and demonize immigrants is despicable.”

Barr is spreading dangerous conspiracy theories. But there is a remedy. Barr can be impeached for unbecoming conduct [covered under high crimes and misdemeanors].

NEW: WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was taken into custody in the UK this morning for skipping bail and he’s wanted in the US for *Conspiracy to Commit Computer Intrusion* –– NOT for publishing classified information as Assange's lawyer lies about here.
#Maddow
NEW: WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was indicted under seal on MARCH 6, 2018 by then-acting EDVA US Attorney, Tracy Doherty-McCormick, on a single count of *Conspiracy to Commit Computer Intrusion* for conspiring with Chelsea Manning to hack a government computer.
#Maddow
Per @CNN @ShimonPro @evanperez: A US official briefed on the matter said DOJ officials expect to bring additional charges against Assange. The judge ordered Assange to appear on May 2 via video link for his first hearing on extradition to the US.

🚨Something Roy Cohn would do too >> #Barr to Review FBI Actions in Trump Probe. AG is assembling a team to review controversial #counterintelligence decisions of Justice Dept & FBI officials during probe of Trump campaign in summer of 2016 bloomberg.com/news/articles/… via @spettypi
@spettypi "Off the rails"—Lindsey Graham actually used that phrase to describe the *investigation* he will investigate: "Once we put the Mueller report to bed…we are going to turn to finding out how this got off the rails."
Trump's purging DHS, going full lawless tyrant—w/ GOP blessing.
It’s astounding even Republicans like Barr have chosen Carter Page as their hill to die on. Barr will investigate “spying” on the Trump campaign—genesis & conduct of the FBI probe. FYI Page was spouting anti-American propaganda while being courted by Russia—and NOT the first time

1. The @GOP have to be looking at the polling data and holding their breath. The @realDonaldTrump white supremacist base may never care that @Trump conspired with #Russia. But an overwhelming majority of Americans do care. #Barr may have overplayed Trump's hand and
2. the result may be the end of Trump's presidency through a fast impeachment trial.

Every trial lawyer knows you don't want to let the jury see your client get caught in a big lie. For better or worse, Barr is acting like Trump's own attorney and he walked Trump out on
3. a limb by manipulating a quote from #MuellersReport to cleverly say there was no collusion. But anyone who knows the relevant federal laws knows that Trump campaign committed numerous crimes related to Russia. Going to, & then not reporting, June 9 meeting were two fed crimes.

#Trump campaign #BradPascale in #Romania makes me ponder a few questions:
🤔
-Using trip to influence US Romania emigrant voters?
-Purpose is to offer #socialmedia manipulation advice for #EU May vote?
-Perfect opportunity to meet with other election manipulators in the region?

Could Romanian media influence Romanian American voters?
As Romanian immigrants in America steadily increase, the population of Romanian voters might be heavily influenced by the strong ties to political and religious opinions held by leaders in Romania.

Shocker: Bill Barr—appointed AG after giving Trump a 19-page memo saying Trump didn't obstruct justice—just exonerated Trump of obstruction of justice. Mueller specifically said "this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him"
Mueller couldn't establish corrupt intent for obstruction of justice b/c Trump refused to talk w/ investigators. W/o putting Trump under oath, Barr exonerates him. Barr was put in charge of DOJ to salvage the GOP—even if it meant letting Trump get away with everything. Shameful.
.@JeffreyToobin points out the impropriety of AG Barr concluding no obstruction of justice when the whole point of appointing a special counsel was b/c Trump’s political appointees—like AG—have an inherent conflict of interest. And now we see, AG Barr is indeed Trump’s lackey.

Let me explain how Paul Manafort's #TrumpRussia indictments are rolling rapidly from election inference into a replay of the Jack Abramoff scandal, but on STEROIDS, involving the secretive sale of American foreign policy for dark money.

washingtonpress.com/2018/02/23/mue…
Manafort and Gates lobbied in the US for Kremlin-linked oligarchs & political parties for a decade, but before their scorched earth, divisive GOP politics inflamed a regional war, they went on a secret diplomatic offensive on behalf of their client, kleptocrat Victor Yanukovych.
Manafort founded the European Center for a Modern Ukraine to be a secret western lobbying front group for Yanukovych.

For obvious reasons, his kleptocratic client had a perception problem, i.e. reality.

Yanukovych is Putin's vassal.

Manafort hid his involvement for years.
