Special Counsel spokesman Peter Carr: "Neither Mueller nor anyone else from the special counsel’s prosecution team will be in attendance at the Barr press conference."
via @dsamuelsohn @politico #Maddow

These are the actions of a prosecution team who was shut down by by Barr.
#MuellerThursday:
-Rosenstein will attend Barr's 9:30 presser but isn't expected to speak.
-Congress will get redacted Mueller report CD-ROMs between 11am-12pm
-The redacted report will be posted online *sometime* after it's delivered to the Hill
Between the rare statement by Peter Carr yesterday that neither Mueller nor anyone from his team would attend the #BarrCoverUp presser and Barr's snarky comment trying to demean Mueller, it's obvious Barr all but fired Mueller as soon as he was sworn in.

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.

BARR press conference

✔︎ No Collusion
✔︎ No Obstruction
✔︎ Trump asserted no privilege claims
✔︎ "Unfettered" access to testimony and documents
✔︎ WH requested NO redactions to report
✔︎ "Substantial evidence" Trump was motivated by his sincere belief he was innocent
"As the Special Counsel’s report acknowledges, there is substantial evidence to show that the President was frustrated and angered by a sincere belief that the investigation was undermining his presidency, propelled by his political opponents, and fueled by illegal leaks"
"As he [POTUS] said from the beginning, there was in fact no collusion"

Barr Press conference at 9:30 EST

Rosenstein not expected to speak

Barr reportedly to discuss process - not contents - of report

Actual report (redacted) sent to Congress ~11-12 EST

Mueller Report posted online "sometime" after delivery to Congress
Mueller will NOT be in attendance - but Peter Carr, his spokesman, will be present.

AG Barr "is expected to provide an overview of the report, explain his thinking and address process questions."

Report will be posted on the special counsel's website at justice.gov/sco
There will be two versions of reports.

The one being made public.

And one with a lesser amount of redactions - but still containing redactions - made available to "a limited number of members of Congress."

(MUELLER REPORT LIVE THREAD) This thread chronicles—in real time—the release of the Mueller Report, with news and analysis from a @Newsweek columnist and @NYTimes bestselling author (Proof of Collusion). Please retweet this thread widely for those you think might benefit from it.
1/ I want to start by offering my @Newsweek column from today (April 17), which sets the stage for what the Thursday (April 18) release of the Mueller Report will and will not be: newsweek.com/william-barr-r…
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.

How Soviet the GOP’s become. #Barr thinks he’ll save Republicans by helping Trump thru a clear threat to his presidency—and destroy rule of law, the Justice Dept’s credibility, integrity & independence in the process—for a patently unfit incompetent authoritarian. #MuellerReport
Barr press conference—announced by Trump—is more theatrics to push "exoneration" spin on Russia. Trump is first & foremost a propagandist. He manipulates media to spread his propaganda. Democrats can upstage tomorrow's agitprop show >> Subpoena Mueller & #MuellerReport tonight.
Reminder THREAD: Trump fired Sessions for a Roy Cohn—a mob AG to do his bidding—even if illegal. Barr gets AG job after stating in 19pp memo that Trump didn't obstruct justice. Barr quickly begins giving legal cover for Trump's abuses—obstruction AND collusion. #MuellerReport
