All I want is for you brilliant people to weigh in on this!

It appears Barr VIOLATED the Special Counsel rules, 28 CFR § 600.9(a)(3)...

It could be incredibly important! I'd be so grateful!

@Mimirocah1 @JoyceWhiteVance @neal_katyal @BarbMcQuade @tribelaw @gtconway3d @rgoodlaw Oooh, I think @Neal_Katyal may be talking about Barr's apparent violation of the Special Counsel regulations I've been arguing!

@Mimirocah1 @JoyceWhiteVance @neal_katyal @BarbMcQuade @tribelaw @gtconway3d @rgoodlaw #UPDATE: Unfortunately, @Neal_Katyal did NOT cover Barr's potential violation of the Special Counsel rules in his new piece/appearance on @TheBeatWithAri.

BUT...he did get pretty close, by touching on a central issue connected to the argument I've noted.

@Mimirocah1 @JoyceWhiteVance @neal_katyal @BarbMcQuade @tribelaw @gtconway3d @rgoodlaw @TheBeatWithAri #UPDATE: Happy to report, @Neal_Katyal himself weighed in at the #MuellerBookClub!

#FACTCHECK: The Disaster Relief bill was held up for months because Trump REFUSED to sign it if it included aid for PUERTO RICO.

It finally passed both houses, despite several attempts by loyal Republicans in Congress to block it.

Now Trump is trying to take credit for it...
#PREVIOUSLY: On June 3rd, the House passed the disaster relief bill.

58 loyal House Republicans voted against it.

#PREVIOUSLY: There were THREE other attempts to pass the Disaster Relief Bill in the House prior to the Memorial Day recess.

Each time, ONE HOUSE REPUBLICAN blocked the $19.1B package, out of loyalty for Trump.

#FACTCHECK: I love @Lawrence, and I watch @TheLastWord nearly every weeknight each week...

But I find myself having to factcheck him, b/c of the way he highlights information that, whether wittingly or unwittingly, is MISLEADING...even if he's simply quoting someone else. [1/2]
#FACTCHECK: The poll highlighted in GQ that @Lawrence CHOSE to lead w/ AREN'T tied to the start of the "Impeachment Process."

The 65% approve vs 19% impeach/remove poll was taken at the start of the SENATE WATERGATE HEARINGS...NOT the HJC Impeachment Inquiry (in Feb 1974). [2/2]
@Lawrence #PS: Even the figures that the GQ article claims represents public opinion "when [Nixon's] impeachment process began" isn't accurate. He did NOT have a 65% approval rating in May 1973.

So these figures are ENTIRELY misleading. And @Lawrence knows better. It's disappointing, TBH.

AG Bill Barr is about to testify before a House Appropriations subcommittee about the Mueller report and DOJ budget. Follow along for a video thread.
Rep @NitaLowey begins by calling Barr's handling of the Mueller report "unacceptable."

"All we have is your 4-page summary, which seems to cherry-pick from the report to draw the most favorable conclusion possible for POTUS... it's more suspicious than impressive."
Bill Barr is now putting people to sleep with his monotone opening statement

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.

Every year I look forward to @FiveThirtyEight's annual chart round up. Pretty cool to see @PRRIpoll data I worked on on this list. fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-4…
I'll take this as an opportunity to thread a few of my favorite pieces and charts from @fivethirtyeight from this year because my dog is asleep on my feet and this seems like a perfectly acceptable way to procrastinate moving and being productive.
First, this incredibly insightful piece from @dcoxpolls on how abortion is increasingly becoming more mobilizing for the left than it is for the right fivethirtyeight.com/features/abort…
