Trump WH obv just trying to run out the clock, sending *everything* to the courts. does he realize he's not going to be around for second term.
blocking all, every attempt of Congressional oversight. completely unprecedented in American history
we’re talking abt suing the Attorney General and/or holding him in contempt. everything’s just off the charts

guy who left NJ Gov office w/ 24% approval rating is explaining to Dems how politics works. noted; news.yahoo.com/game-on-christ…
why does anyone care what least popular Gov in US history thinks?
you think Beltway press would ever care abt a Dem Gov who barely escaped indictment and posted unprecedentedly bad approval ratings ?

how are there just not mass resignations at DOJ—I mean rank-and-file who aren’t political appointees?
Trump has benefitted hugely from Beltway careerism and the stunning number of federal employees who refuse to take any kind of stand
at a time when there’s 3% unemployment rate....

can’t believe I have to write columns like this....Trump’s a monster; dailykos.com/story/2019/5/6…
memo to media: “far right voices” does NOT describe the white nationalist bottom feeders Trump is aligning with
Trump’s betting once again that press shies away from telling the ugly truth abt him

Important piece by Politico. I’ve posted links to it twice today, but I’ve decided to pull out particularly important points as well. 1/14 politi.co/2Ps87Vn
Trump’s actions since the release of the Mueller Report provide further evidence of obstruction of justice. But the only remedy for that is impeachment and conviction (removal by the Senate) and that isn’t going to happen. 2/14
So Trump has decided that he has nothing to lose and everything to gain by stonewalling and trying to run out the clock. 3/14

I don't know if that comparison works.

If there are salacious details in the Mueller Report that didn't make Barr's memo, they're likely to be leaked.

If they never release (or heavily redact) the report, it will eliminate/reverse most of the goodwill generated by Barr's memo.
Like, if we get to September 2020 and the Mueller Report has never seen the light of day, people are going to notice, and nobody but extreme GOP partisans are going to vote for Trump on the basis of "no collusion".
The "just get a good initial headline at all costs" strategy works when (1) a story is minor enough that it might just go away or (2) you're trying to run out the clock because a discrete event (e.g. an election) is coming up soon. It often backfires in other circumstances.

1/ Hillary Clinton’s email problems began in her first day as secretary of state. She insisted on using her personal BlackBerry for all her email communications, but she wasn’t allowed to take that phone on the seventh floor of the State Dept, because the entire 7th floor of…
2/ …the Harry S Truman building is a SCIF duly nicknamed Mahogany Row do to the amount of beautiful mahogany would that was used in building it.

But Hillary has always considered herself above following the rules, this was frustrating as hell.

#THREAD: We’ve said this before but for the life of us we can’t figure out why #Trump won’t give up this #TradeWar. The May jobs report was incredible and the #economy is booming. Now he’s threatening to torpedo all this work to get the economy humming because he’s pissed off
The smart political thing for #Trump and his #GOP allies facing re-election to do would be to run out the clock on this booming #economy all throughout the #Midterms2018 season and campaign hard on his anti-regulation, tax cutting economic policy and spike the football
In a survey conducted last fall, the Chicago Council on Public Affairs found that 72% of Americans thought trade is good for the U.S. economy, 78% thought it benefits consumers like themselves, and 57% thought it helps create jobs in the United States
