Watching MSNBC

Brian Williams is complaining about AG Barr saying the word "collusion" so often

Because "collusion" is not a term recognized in the law

Then WHAT WERE YOUR NETWORKS DOING FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS BRIAN

"It's clear we overdid it on the friendship between Mueller and Barr." - Brian Williams

YUUUUUUUUUP
"THIS IS AN INVESTIGATION ABOUT DONALD TRUMP'S DAILY, EVEN HOURLY ASSAULT ON THE RULE OF LAW IN THIS COUNTRY!!!!"

That's literally something just uttered on MSNBC

They are so mad
Now they are wondering why Rosenstein agreed with Barr on no Collusion/no obstruction
Now some talking head is saying Barr conceded the Trump campaign "conspired with Wikileaks to disseminate information about the Clinton campaign."

What planet are these people on

Today is a holiday for potheads

Who celebrate by doing exactly what they do every other day of the year

Get a life losers

#Happy420
Looks like some potheads got mad about this

That's not a problem

Potheads are ideal adversaries, they rarely leave the couch and have trouble stringing coherent thoughts together
"SO YOU'RE SAYING POT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL?!?! WHAT ABOUT THE FAILED DRUG WAR."

No I'm saying that absent a good medical reason you shouldn't use pot regularly

Because it's a bad habit that drains you of ambition

Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann should be subpoenaed and brought before Senate Judiciary

And examined by @tedcruz, @HawleyMO, and the other top-flight lawyers

And forced to defend their ridiculous legal analysis of the obstruction of justice statutes in the #MuellerReport
This shoddy legal analysis kept the investigation going for 18 montghs

Into acts that were clearly not criminal

The damage Weissmann and Mueller have done by entertaining this garbage is incalculable
Barr's original memo - written before he was AG - explained this clearly

The #MuellerReport glosses over Barr's objections entirely

Into the legal guts of the #Mueller Report (focusing on volume II on obstruction)

Here, the Mueller Report contradicts Barr's pre-AG memo on the proper construction of 18 U.S.C. 1512(c)(2)

This seems like it's in the weeds but it's crucial
Mueller (read Weissmann) argues that "[n]o principle of statutory construction justifies narrowing the [catch-all] provision to cover only conduct that impairs the integrity of availability of evidence."

This is exactly what Barr criticized in his original memo
In his excellent thread yesterday, @JohnWHuber explained why Bill Barr disagrees with this interpretation

The reporter told the #AttorneyGeneral she felt he was being “quite generous” to Trump, quoting #Barr saying the president faced “an unprecedented situation” and noting he discussed how the president was frustrated with the probe. (Transcript in thread 👇) theepochtimes.com/barr-slams-rep…
1/ #BarrPressConference
Reporter — “What do you say to people on both sides of the aisle who say that you are trying to protect the president?”

#Barr — “Well, actually, the statements about his sincere beliefs are recognized in the report, that there was substantial evidence…
2/ #BarrPressConference
… for that, so I’m not sure what your basis is for saying that I’m being generous to the president.”

Reporter — “You said he faced an unprecedented situation. It just seems like there’s a lot of going out of your way to acknowledge—”

⚠️ Beware #Barr’s #propaganda language downplaying Russia’s election interference. He called the attack Russia’s “ATTEMPT” to interfere. And Russia “SOUGHT” to interfere. RUSSIA DID INTERFERE. MASSIVELY. Multiple efforts to compromise Trump & public opinion via WikiLeaks, disinfo
Move over Sarah. AG Barr is the White House spokesman now. He said no one in the Trump campaign colluded with Russia. Flatly false! He said Trump fully cooperated w/ Mueller & was just “frustrated.” Trump’s undermined the investigation & smeared investigators daily. What a sham!
We endured Trump/Putin’s propaganda blitz in our election. We’ve endured 2 years of Kremlin-style propaganda obfuscation & gaslighting from the WH. Now we’ve got a propaganda-spewing AG protecting the propagandist POTUS, even barking at reporters. ENOUGH. Let’s see #MuellerReport

What I'm watching for at 9:30:
Will Barr mention "investigating" the investigators (the FBI), "spying," the origins of Steele Dossier, etc?
@msnbc Brian Williams says he hears hints of that.
That'd be a big tell that the Report is damaging...
And Barr would be creating a crisis.
2/ @msnbc @PeterAlexander quotes a Trump official:
They knew the Report is "damaging," "bad"
Using Barr this morning to "muddy the waters."
Using Barr & a counter-report to create a "slow burn" over the holiday weekend.
Ahem, "SLOW BURN," @leoncrawl?
slate.com/slow-burn
3/ If Barr talks about "spying" or "surveillance," note that the record clearly shows:
1) The FBI used legal FISA process Fall 2016, after Carter Page had left the campaign.
2) The investigation didn't start b/c of Steele, but b/c Papadopolous bragged of Russia hacks in May 2016

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.

AG #Barr: "disgusted" by what he's discovered (so-far).
"in all my years, in all my life, I never would have thought [ ] be possible within the halls of these prestigious federal agencies."
Press conference coming?
They will claim political attack.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein: “Top of mind for all of us is the ongoing investigation. Importantly, the attorney general must be willing to resist political pressure and be committed to protecting this investigation.” #BarrHearing
Sen. Orrin Hatch says Barr, in his last stint as attorney general, “prioritized fighting violent crime and became known as the law and order attorney general.”

Criminal justice reformers worry about that history: bit.ly/2sqwzfb #BarrHearing
Barr takes the floor at his confirmation hearing and introduces his family to the committee.

"My son ... will someday be in the Department of Justice," he says. #BarrHearing
