Former SDNY prosecutor @Mimirocah1: "While it pains me to say this, given Barr’s conduct in the past acting more as Trump's defense attorney than an overseer of justice, I am concerned Barr might interfere if he thought Epstein might implicate Trump."thedailybeast.com/jeffrey-epstei…
Not to mention that Barr has his own, weird connection to Epstein.
Jun 25, 2019: Suspected sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was handed another break by the DOJ [and Trump's AG, Bill Barr] when federal prosecutors rejected his victims’ efforts to throw out his plea deal and prosecute him for abusing dozens of underage girls.
Trump's DOJ is weighing whether Trump's AG, Bill Barr – whose father hired Jeffrey Epstein, who didn’t go to college, to work at Dalton School, teaching teenagers – should be recused from SDNY's sex trafficking case against Epstein, who's a friend of Trump.

Trump has hijacked the July 4th celebration on the National Mall, packing his ticketed speech with GOP donors.

“It's dismaying that the Pentagon failed to thwart Trump’s impulses. The military has been domesticated. The will to resist him has evaporated.”
huffpost.com/entry/trump-fo…
Trump doesn't want to honor the military; he expects the military to honor HIM.

Jared and Ivanka, the two dumbest people in the White House [other than Trump], were in the room with Trump and Kim Jong Un. God help us.
Trump's taxpayer-funded campaign photo op with Kim Jong Un didn't accomplish a damn thing? I'm shocked. 🙄

“Given Barr’s conduct in the past acting more as a defense attorney for Trump than an overseer of justice, I am concerned that Barr might interfere if he thought that Epstein might implicate Trump. “ thedailybeast.com/jeffrey-epstei…
“Barr did say in his confirmation hearings that he might recuse himself on overseeing matters with respect to Epstein because of his (Barr’s) affiliation with a law firm, Kirkland & Ellis, which was part of the Florida plea debacle.”
“In my 16 years as a prosecutor, I am only aware of two instances in which someone convicted of a crime of this nature was offered a cooperation agreement. That means Epstein would have to have some very valuable and verifiable information to trade for a cooperation agreement.”

1. #Maddow @MaddowBlog Rachel ON FIRE re #BarrTestimony #BarrCoverUp re #MuellerLetters. And that Trump was well within his rights to fire a prosecutor if he thought the charges against him were unfair. And that #HillaryClinton was the problem, not #PutinPuppet Trump... @DeAdder
2. #Maddow @MaddowBlog #HillaryClinton ON FIRE " #Barr is Trump's Defense Attorney, NOT the job he auditioned for, #AttorneyGeneral. "This goes to the core of whether we are a nation of laws or a nation of men." Gawd I miss @HillaryClinton
3.#Maddow #HillaryClinton tells Rachel "Get back to the business of calling witnesses who are mentioned in the #MuellerReport and begin to tell the public story." @HillaryClinton also discusses the possibility #AGBarr could be held in #ContemptOfCongress

Trump’s circle is still in legal peril: “the biggest legal minefield here is the number of different offices looking at this,” said Berit Berger, a former federal prosecutor who’s now at Columbia Law School. “You can’t say they’re all witch hunts.” chicagotribune.com/news/nationwor…
As we wait for Barr to reveal the Mueller Report, let’s review.

This article provides a good overview of the many ongoing investigations into TeamTrump all of which are being handled by the DOJ or have been framed out to other jurisdictions.
Remember Mueller’s focus is narrow.
📌Federal prosecutors in New York are investigating the Trump Organization and his 2016 campaign for possible campaign finance violations.

📌They’ve also issued subpoenas to Trump’s inaugural committee.

Trump can’t run the Mueller playbook on New York feds

For starters, they have jurisdiction over his political operation AND businesses — subjects that executive privilege doesn't cover.

politico.com/story/2019/02/…
SDNY can challenge Trump in ways Mueller can’t. They have jurisdiction over his political operation and businesses — subjects that aren’t protected by executive privilege, a tool Trump is considering invoking to block portions of Mueller’s report bc he’s pooping himself.
Trump has been unable to run the same playbook on SDNY that he’s used to erode faith in Mueller.

Legal circles are also buzzing over whether SDNY might buck DOJ guidance & seek to indict a sitting president. (TBF he’s a Russian agent not an actual president, so... 🤷🏻‍♀️)

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
