"Each of us [FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTORS] believes that the conduct of Trump described in Mueller’s report would, in the case of any other person not covered by the OLC policy against indicting a sitting President, result in multiple felony charges for obstruction of justice."
More than 370 former federal prosecutors from Republican & Democratic admins: "Trump would have been charged with obstruction were he not president. For Barr to look at these facts and say "no obstruction" runs counter to logic and our experience."

Former US Attorney, @JoyceWhiteVance 👇
The list of former federal prosecutors who signed the statement asserting that Trump would be indicted on multiple felony charges for obstruction if not for DOJ's policy that prohibits a sitting president from being indicted has grown to over 500.

NEW: Trump's DOJ warns @HouseJudiciary to cancel the contempt vote on Trump's AG, Bill Barr or Barr will recommend Trump exert executive privilege over the entire Mueller report, which is RIDICULOUS.
Trump's DOJ is threatening to invoke executive privilege over the entire Mueller report – most of which is already in the public domain and covers an investigation which began before Trump was elected [so no executive privilege]. LOL.
.@RepJerryNadler responds to DOJ: “The Department’s legal arguments are without credibility, merit, or legal or factual basis...In the coming days, I expect Congress will have no choice but to confront the behavior of this lawless Administration."

SCCOP >> Decade in the Red: Newly obtained tax information reveals that from 1985 to 1994, Trump’s businesses were in far bleaker condition than was previously known. The tax info shows over $1B in business losses.
by @russbuettner @susannecraig #Maddow nyti.ms/2PTd8Xk
"Amid the hundreds of figures on 10 years of Trump tax transcripts, one number is particularly striking: $52.9 million in interest income that Trump reported in 1989, but the source is a mystery."
#Maddow
Trump paid NO income taxes in 8 of the 10 years examined by @russbuettner and @susannecraig [1985-1994]. Trump's losses were so big that in 1991 they accounted for fully 1% of ALL business losses declared that year by individual American taxpayers.

Months before evangelical leader Jerry Falwell Jr.’s game-changing endorsement of Trump in 2016, Trump's personal fixer, Michael Cohen, helped Falwell deal with someone blackmailing him with racy “personal” photos.

Well, that explains why Falwell is Trump little bitch.
After Michael Cohen helped Jerry Falwell Jr deal with the blackmailer, he kept one of the racy photos and 'persuaded' Falwell to issue his endorsement of Trump's candidacy just before the Iowa caucuses and vouch for Trump's "Christian virtues."

ICYMI: More than 550 former federal prosecutors signed a letter stating that Trump would be charged with obstruction of justice if he were not a sitting president.

More than 7,200 years of DOJ service among them. medium.com/@dojalumni/sta…
Data journalists: The list of signatories is available in spreadsheet format, which makes it easier to calculate such things as...

* They have an average of more than 12 years DOJ experience.
* A median of nine years.

Unfortunately, district info not available for all.
Of the 560+ signers, these ex-prosecutors at some point served:

+ 300 under Clinton
+ 240 under Bush II
+ 170 under Obama
+ 170 under Carter
+ 110 under Bush I
+ 90 under Ford
+ 35 under Trump

There's lots of overlap with those serving multiple admins.

Mueller has overseen the take down of quite a few criminal enterprises. In this tweet thread I name a few. He oversaw the investigation of the Lockerbie bombing, the prosecution of Manuel Noriega, the take down of the Gambino family & more. Thread below. #Mueller #TrumpRussia
1) Mueller joined the U.S. Department of Justice in 1989 to spearhead the prosecution of Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega. #Mueller #TrumpRussia
2) Mueller took charge of the DOJ's criminal division in 1990, where he oversaw the Lockerbie bombing case & formed the agency's first cyber-dedicated unit. He is the one who created the first cyber crime investigative unit! #Mueller #TrumpRussia

This is a bombshell. @TheAtlantic calls for #Trump impeachment. Because he has waged, "an attack on the very foundations of America’s constitutional democracy."

"#Impeachment is a process, not an outcome, a rule-bound procedure..."

"By denying the debate its proper outlet, #Congress has succeeded only in intensifying its pressures."

This article has provoked a lot of commentary today. Most of the commentary from the the left has been alarmist, though some (like @SethAbramson) have been dismissive. I don’t think either response is appropriate. 1/16
There was every reason to expect that Mueller would go into action again shortly after the election; we didn’t need this article to know that. 2/16

/1
Andrew McCabe, the corrupt little weasel who was deputy FBI Director from the Comey days was running scared. So scared in fact he cancelled a House Intellgence Commiettee testimony.
/2
He was scared because it’s been discovered that Bruce Ohr’s wife was working with Fusion GPS.

McCabe’s wife got three quarters of a million dollars for a failed congressional campaign as a Democrat.
