DC District Court Chief Judge Beryl Howell decision in Don McGahn case was nominated by President Obama and unanimously confirmed by Senate in 2010 by voice vote.
House Judiciary Top Republican Collins: “I applaud Chief Judge Howell’s decision today. As the Chief Judge found, Chairman Nadler’s pending cases involve distinct issues of law and fact and should not be combined.”
Collins: “Democrats have not begun impeachment inquiry against the President. Until the full House votes to authorize such an inquiry,that status will not indeed, cannot change..these 2 lawsuits are separate & distinct from each other, as Chief Judge Howell’s ruling makes clear."

.@SenWarren: "The information that has been given to us in the Mueller report clearly constitutes adequate information to begin an impeachment proceeding in the House of Representatives."
@SenWarren Warren: "No matter how many times Mitch McConnell or the rest of the Republicans want to wish that away, it's there in black and white in the report."

President Trump vetoed the Yemen war powers resolution, the 2nd veto of his presidency:

“It is my duty to return S.J. Res. 7 to the Senate without my approval.”
President Trump: “I am returning herewith without my approval S.J. Res. 7, a joint resolution that purports to direct the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities in or affecting the Republic of Yemen, with certain exceptions.”
”This resolution is an unnecessary, dangerous attempt to weaken my constitutional authorities, endangering the lives of American citizens and brave service members, both today and in the future.”

Gird your loins: The House Judiciary Committee is set to vote at 10am on a resolution finding AG Bill Barr in contempt for refusing to comply with a subpoena for Mueller's report and other records — DOJ says Barr will be "compelled" to ask Trump to invoke executive privilege
Here's the Barr contempt resolution that the committee will be taking up today: judiciary.house.gov/sites/democrat… This is not the final vote, though — once the committee votes, it'll then go to the full House
The contempt proceedings represent a major escalation of the fight between Congress and the Trump administration (and Trump personally) over how much power the former has to demand information and testimony from the latter. For a deep dive on this: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

Barr made it perfectly clear in his testimony today that he is obdurate and will remain obdurate about handing over the grand jury materials that House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler has requested. 1/62
Nadler has authorization from the committee to subpoena Barr for the materials, but he is waiting to see the redacted version of the MUELLER REPORT that Barr is preparing before he actually sends the subpoena. But clearly, Nadler is expecting the worst. 2/62
Since Barr made his intentions perfectly clear today, it seems to me that what is needed now is some strategizing that isn’t purely legal. 3/62

DC Superior Court is resuming session for the day shortly. On the 3rd floor around 9:30 AM, Chief Judge Robert Morin will be ruling on pre-trial matters for two upcoming Trump inauguration protest trial groups.

#J20 #J20trials
Last week, Chief Judge Morin ruled that prosecutors @USAO_DC violated the ‘Brady Rule’ by withholding evidence helpful to the defense. Today he will decide how to ‘sanction’ the prosecution. unicornriot.ninja/2018/prosecuto… #J20 #J20trials
Judge Morin has suggested he may forbid the govt from continuing to use an undercover Project Veritas video of a protest planning meeting. New filings from the defense last night claim dozens of more Project Veritas videos were hidden from defense by US Attorneys
