Federal prosecutors won't charge flagrant Trump campaign crimes.
The good news is states can make up for Barr's cover-ups.
We ask @NewYorkStateAG @TishJames to use NY's traditional power to investigate corporate fraud & potentially dissolve Trump Org.
freespeechforpeople.org/government-wat…
2/ Here's my @nytimes op-ed on what state officials can do. Start with a civil investigation of Trump Org in NY, but state fraud indictments are the next step...
nytimes.com/2019/03/11/opi…
3/ "Legal status as a corporation endows businesses like Trump Org with great powers, and with those powers come specific responsibilities. To police these privileges, almost every state gives its attorney general the power to bring civil actions to investigate corporate fraud."

This is now the 4th Democrat to focus on Don McGahn. A waste of time.
I've been waiting until after the break to comment, because I hoped that they'd recognize that this was not working. But they took a break and came back with the same approach. Yet another missed opportunity.
A basic political optics problem with spending so much time on Trump ordering McGahn to fire Mueller:
Mueller is sitting right there. He was never actually fired.
Trump tried to fire Mueller, tried to interfere, and that's criminal.
But it isn't concrete enough, not like Nixon.
And this is the 2d or 3d time the Democrats repeated the quotation attributed to Trump when DOJ appointed Mueller: "I'm f'ed"
It is not criminal to be worried about a prosecutor being appointed to investigate you.
Sorry, that may be the most NORMAL thing Trump has ever said.

Mueller made significant legal errors, but the right way to question and correct them is for members of Congress to hand over the microphone. It's worked before.
The Watergate & Iran Contra model: expert lawyers ask the questions. My piece in @politico:
politico.com/magazine/story…
2/ A list of the Report's errors:
#1: Campaign Coordination.
The DOJ assigned him to investigate “coordination.” His report stated “‘Coordination’ does not have a settled definition in fed criminal law. We understood coordination to require an agreement—tacit or express.”
Wrong.
3/ Congress explicitly rejected such a permissive interpretation. In 2002, Congress passed a statute declaring that campaign finance regulations “shall not require agreement or formal collaboration to establish coordination,” and any knowing and willful violations are criminal.

If Trump wins a second term, the statute of limitations will run out by 2024 on all of these charges so far - obstruction, campaign crimes.
The OLC opinion is wrong: no such thing as equitable tolling for crimes.
And Mueller should have known this, but put Trump above the law.
2/ Trump is now more desperate than ever to win a second term and run out the clock on these indictments.
And Mueller’s glaring legal errors (ignoring criminal coordination statute) give Trump impunity to “coordinate” to win again.
nytimes.com/2019/04/25/opi…
3/ In another legal error, Mueller just gave everyone permission to get unlimited opposition research from big donors or foreign citizens or even foreign governments. Mueller ripped a huge loophole for apparently conservative ideological reasons:

So #Trump is holding a news conference in about five minutes. I’ll be watching (and probably tweeting). Follow/mute at will!
Okay, #Trump has started speaking. He's already slurring. He's already made a joke about "a lot of......MEDIA.".

This does not bode well.
#Trump is now saying that China wants to "see me lose an election because they've never been challenged before."

It's not just China, pal.
