NEW: Barr's DOJ officials have had numerous conversations with White House lawyers about the Mueller Report's conclusions to help Trump's lawyers prepare their rebuttal and gaslighting strategies.

#Maddow nyti.ms/2VSzudx
The many discussions between Justice Department officials and White House lawyers about the Mueller Report ahead of its release to Congress add to questions about the propriety of AG Barr's decisions since he received Mueller’s findings last month.
#Maddow
Recall, during his Congressional hearing last week, #CoverUpGeneral Barr refused to answer questions about whether he or anyone at DOJ had shared the Mueller Report with anyone in the White House, where Barr's son-in-law, Tyler McGaughey, works.

NEW: Trump praises Libyan General Haftar as his troops march on US backed government in Tripoli, commending Haftar on Mon for securing Libya's oil resources. Earlier this month, Pompeo denounced Hafta's military offensive in Tripoli.
by @rabrowne75 #Maddow cnn.it/2UPIZhv
Why this is significant via @Joyce_Karam:
-A US President calling a Libyan Military General
-Waiting 4 days to disclose the call [after US blocked ceasefire for Libya at UN]
-Comes as reports say Haftar is advancing
-Contradicts US State Dept re Haftar
Why would Trump praise Libyan General Haftar whose troops are marching on the US-backed govt in Tripoli?

=> "Murky private military company Wagner Group [owned by “Putin's chef” Prigozhin] is supporting Haftar in Libya." bit.ly/2KPyBl6

Mueller hands Dems a gift and they’re already fumbling It. "Democrats passing on impeaching Trump would be a statement that the rule of law is too much of a pain in the ass to uphold."

JAN 2016: Mifsud & ['former' IRA employee] discussed [██] meeting in Russia

SPRING 2016: [Fmr IRA] was in contact w/ [██] that was linked to a RU Military of Defense employee linked to GRU-controlled Facebook accounts used to promote the DCLeaks releases
Recall the "oranges" of the Trump-Russia probe: In May 2016, Papadopoulos told an Australian diplomat that Russia had dirt on HRC, as told to him by Mifsud, who was linked to GRU-controlled Facebook accounts used to promote the DCLeaks releases.

Trump gave an interview in FULL defensive mode this afternoon, and now the NYT are breaking ⤵️ that DOJ have talked to WH @ 'some' of what the report will contain tomorrow. His behavior indicates that Trump knows he's far from exonerated. #WednesdayWisdom

2/ I've also detailed errors made by media in the run-up to the release of the Mueller Report. If you read the @Newsweek piece atop this thread and then the thread below, you'll get a sense of what an accurate accounting of events is up against right now.

Thread regarding the .@Newsweek article about Barr's Alfa Bank ties.

the clean-up man is compromised. He declared that he was paid between $5000-$15000 from the Vector Group. VG president, Howard Lorber, was the man who brought .@POTUS to Moscow in the 90s for the "Tower".

1/6
His former law firm, Kirkland & Ellis LLP, where he earned more than a million dollars representing the Russian Alfa Bank, is also home to Brian Benczkowski, another Trump pick for the DOJ's criminal vision.

2/6
(Fun Cronyism Fact: Brett Kavanaugh, the corrupt Supreme Court judge whose numerous sexual assault allegations and gambling debts were ignored by the @GOP in their judiciary takeover, was actually a partner at Kirkland & Ellis LLP as well.)

NEW: Rep. Nadler tells Barr he wants "all communications between the Special Counsel's office & the [DOJ] regarding the report, including those regarding the disclosure of the report to Congress, the disclosure of the report to the public, & those regarding your March 24 letter."
In his letter to AG Bill Barr, Rep. Jerry Nadler cites reports by NYT & WaPo, saying they "suggest that the special counsel prepared his own summaries, intended for public consumption. which you chose to withhold in favor of your own..."

"If the Special Counsel's summaries fit the summary you provided on March 24, that would alleviate substantial concerns," Rep. Nadler writes to AG Bill Barr.

"If there is significant daylight between his account and yours, the American people should know that too."

Lindsey Graham is Nunes #2. Spouts Trump propaganda at #Barr hearing. Reads Strzok texts, slams Steele dossier, slams FBI opening counterintel investigation of Trump: “We’re relying on you to clean this place up…make sure they don’t have an agenda. Will u look into it?”—“I will”
#Barr says “nothing could be more dangerous than political interference” in an investigation. But also says it’s completely fine for a president to fire US attorneys for political reasons “because they’re political appointments” 🤔
#Barr: It would be a crime for president Trump to promise a pardon in exchange for a person not incriminating him in an investigation.

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
