Today marks the first day of the #MuellerBookClub.

We aim to educate about the #MuellerReport and hope you'll follow along as we circulate graphical quotes from the report, courtesy of @frontera_julie.

Join us to discuss the report as we read it at muellerbookclub.com.
Mueller lays out numerous examples of Trump Campaign affiliates amplifying Russian content they knew to be part of Putin's interference.

This is wrong, unpatriotic & detrimental to American democracy.

Join us to discuss the report at muellerbookclub.com .

#MuellerBookClub
Trump was unmoved by public reporting that Wikileaks was a Russian intel front, instead seeking more information from [redacted witnesses] about future Wikileaks releases that could harm his opponent.

Join us to discuss the report at muellerbookclub.com.

#MuellerBookClub
Mueller makes clear that Russia and Wikileaks worked in tandem with one another to hack (Russia) and weaponize (Wikileaks) stolen material meant to hurt Hillary Clinton's campaign.

Here are the top 4 take-aways from the #MuellerReport testimony before the House Judiciary Committee today:

1. Trumpgate is Watergate all over again.

Nixon WH Counsel John Dean: “It’s quite striking and startling to me that history is repeating itself. And with a vengeance."
2. There is more than sufficient evidence to indict Trump for multiple counts of obstruction of justice.

Former US Atty Barbara McQuade: "If anyone other than a sitting president committed this conduct, that person would be charged with crimes.”
3. Trump's attempts to obstruct the investigation into his collusion with Russia was more than just a cover-up.

McQuade: “By seeking to curtail the [Russia] investigation, President Trump committed an act that threatened the national security of this country.”

Contrary to Barr, Mueller actually concluded that Trump committed at least four acts of obstruction of justice.

A difficult element to prove in making out an obstruction case is "corrupt intent."

Here's what Mueller said about Trump's corrupt intent re: four episodes.

Thread
"SUBSTANTIAL evidence...
that the President's attempts to
remove the Special Counsel were
linked to the Special Counsel's
oversight of investigations that
involved POTUS's
conduct—and, most immediately, to
reports that the President was being
investigated for...obstruction."
"SUBSTANTIAL evidence indicates
that the President's efforts to have
Sessions limit the scope of the
Special Counsel's investigation to
future election interference was
intended to prevent further
investigative scrutiny of the
President's and his campaign's
conduct."

House Committee Chairs just sent a letter to AG Barr demanding release of the #MuellerReport. Barr has 1 week to comply.

“We look forward to receiving the report in full no later than April 2, & to begin receiving the underlying evidence & documents that same day.”

Now is the time to get fully behind our political leaders.

The Blue Wave elected them into office for a reason--to ensure transparency and accountability, to put a check on the executive branch, and prevent further abuse of power.

2/3
We can help. Call your MoC’s (202-224-3121) & push them to follow through on their call for transparency. The people want Barr to #ReleaseTheFullReport.

If Trump did nothing wrong, he has nothing to hide. We can't move forward w/out the truth. It’s up to us to ensure we get it.

1/ We asked every Texan in Congress: Have you read the Mueller report?

We also asked: Does the report warrant any legislative action? If so, what? #MuellerReport bit.ly/2Wjn51J
2/ From Sen. @JohnCornyn's office: "Senator Cornyn and members of his staff have reviewed the Special Counsel’s report."

No response to our second question. #MuellerReport bit.ly/2Wjn51J
3/ Sen. @tedcruz did not respond to either question. #MuellerReport bit.ly/2Wjn51J

fyi, I felt it necessary to differentiate between actual quotes listed in the report vs described.
For example, "bullshit" is quoted, but the rest of Trump's dialogue shown above is based on what Porter described to the SCO.
🤓
Also, this thread won't follow along with the actual outline/structure of the #MuellerReport. I'm only focusing on illustrating the major events for now, which means we could be jumping back and forth between volumes and such.
Cool? Cool.

As Attorney General Bill Barr gets set to testify today, here’s what we know:

He knowingly lied about the contents of the #MuellerReport to protect Trump.
He lied to the American people and to Congress.

Here are the receipts to prove it:
1. Barr said that Mueller’s report found no collusion, which isn’t a legal term or a criminal charge.

FACT CHECK: Mueller’s report details multiple brazen incidence of collusion. It is damning for Trump and his team.

vox.com/2019/4/18/1848…
2. Barr claimed that his 4-page summary letter detailed the principal conclusions of Mueller’s report.

FACT CHECK: We now know Mueller wrote Barr a letter saying that the AG misrepresented his conclusions.

Follow along as NPR's reporters and editors annotate key sections of the #MuellerReport: n.pr/2VVw4ae
The special counsel's office addressed the question of whether members of the Trump campaign "coordinat[ed]" with Russian election interference activities.

What does "coordination" actually mean in this case?
The investigation was exhaustive, the office says, but it could only include evidence it could access.

The report indicates that some individuals associated with the Trump campaign "deleted relevant communications."
