NEW: DOJ confirms Barr is bailing on House Judiciary Committee tomorrow.

"Chairman Nadler’s insistence on having staff question the Attorney General, a Senate-confirmed Cabinet member, is inappropriate.”
Story: huffpost.com/entry/barr-dro…
Nadler on Barr: "Given his lack of candor in describing the work of the Special Counsel, our Members were right to insist that staff counsel be permitted to question the Attorney General.” huffpost.com/entry/barr-dro…
In new letter, DOJ tells Nadler that subpoena for full Mueller report and investigative files "is not legitimate oversight" and that his requests are "overbroad and extraordinarily burdensome.” documentcloud.org/documents/5985…
DOJ to @RepJerryNadler: "The Committee has no legitimate role in demanding law enforcement materials with the aim of simply duplicating a criminal inquiry...” documentcloud.org/documents/5985…
Guys, the Trump administration just favorable cited a memo by former AG Eric Holder on the Obama administration's assertion of executive privilege in the Fast and Furious debacle and I'm worried a black hole is going to open up and swallow everyone. assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5985…
So DOJ is going to try to keep Mueller's investigative materials under wraps. That's not what happened with the Clinton probe. huffpost.com/entry/mueller-…

William Barr’s reputation is on the ropes. huffpost.com/entry/william-…
.@matthewamiller says that William Barr, like a lot of Republicans his age, is living in a Fox News cocoon.

Full story: the feds say two white supremacist cousins discussed killing Muslims. One of them is charged with lying to the FBI about his gun. It’s still unclear what happened to his cousin. huffpost.com/entry/white-su…
Safe to say that, if these two cousins were ISIS supporters, there wouldn’t be this type of ambiguity. huffpost.com/entry/domestic…
The feds say Thomas Alonzo Bolin went as “Peter Vincent” on Facebook and managed a Facebook group called "Odin’s Warriors.” (Image h/t @nickrobinsearly) huffpost.com/entry/white-su…

Michael Cohen is in the building. Someone in the crowd called him a “hero.”

Barr's primary objection has been @ testifying before the Counsels of BOTH parties in re the redacted portion of the Mueller rpt., regardless, Nadler is moving forward, they'll vote Wed @ the counsel questioning, & it'll pass. #MondayMotivation politico.com/story/2019/04/…

Barr made it perfectly clear in his testimony today that he is obdurate and will remain obdurate about handing over the grand jury materials that House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler has requested. 1/62
Nadler has authorization from the committee to subpoena Barr for the materials, but he is waiting to see the redacted version of the MUELLER REPORT that Barr is preparing before he actually sends the subpoena. But clearly, Nadler is expecting the worst. 2/62
Since Barr made his intentions perfectly clear today, it seems to me that what is needed now is some strategizing that isn’t purely legal. 3/62

If AG Barr doesn't meet Congress' deadline to give them the full, unredacted Mueller report by midnight tonight, this ⤵️ is what's going to happen.
