Attorney General Barr personally asked foreign officials to aid inquiry into CIA, FBI activities in 2016 wapo.st/2nbGJ4c
Current and former intelligence and law enforcement officials expressed frustration and alarm that Barr was taking such a direct role in re-examining what they view as conspiracy theories and baseless allegations of misconduct wapo.st/2nVik39
Barr’s personal involvement is likely to stoke further criticism that he is helping the Trump administration use executive powers to augment investigations aimed primarily at the president’s adversaries wapo.st/2nVik39

Exclusive: The number of U.S. kids attending integrated schools has nearly doubled, a Post analysis finds.

But big-city schools remain segregated. wapo.st/schools-divers…
Just because a school system is diverse does not mean its schools are integrated.

In highly integrated districts, schools most closely reflect the demographics of the district as a whole. wapo.st/schools-divers…

Eleven hundred ninety-six.

That’s the number of names on this page. People who were doing ordinary things until they were shot to death by killers bent on mass fatalities.

In today’s Washington Post, a special 12-page print section lists every mass shooting victim since 1966.
The pace of the deadliest public mass shootings has accelerated significantly in recent years. The 423 people represented here died between the Sandy Hook massacre and last weekend’s attack in Dayton, Ohio.

They accounted for more than a third of the 1,196 killed since 1966.
“This is a moment to reflect on the horrific human toll of mass shootings in our country and to remember the individuals whose lives were cut short," said Executive Editor @PostBaron.

"If you’re a good worker, papers don’t matter."

How a Trump construction crew has relied on immigrants without legal status. wapo.st/2yLt6et
Exclusive: The Trump Organization pledged to scrutinize the legal status of its employees.

But a little-known company owned by the president continues to use undocumented workers for projects on his properties, according to past and current crew members. wapo.st/2KAGSpz
Trump "doesn’t want undocumented people in the country," said Jorge Castro, a 55-year-old immigrant from Ecuador without legal status who left the construction company after nine years.

"But at his properties, he still has them." wapo.st/2KAhWhV

State Dept IG requests 'urgent' Ukraine briefing on Capitol Hill

Barr’s enabling of Trump’s corruption is dangerous
Barr is determined to discredit the USIC/Mueller’s finding that RU engaged in “sweeping & systematic” interference in our election on Trump’s behalf.
💣Urgent2💣

Barr’s activities — whether by coincidence or design will end up chilling how intel officials respond to the next foreign effort to sabotage a U.S. presidential election on Trump’s behalf.

This on the taxpayers’ dime.

TrumpBarrPutin’s goal: SANCTION RELIEF

“House warns @StateDept: any attempt by @SecPompeo to intimidate witnesses violates the law & is obstruction of the impeachment inquiry. “

Pelosi & Schiff hold a press conference tomorrow at 10:45

Congress has a powerful tool & it’s pretty blunt: inherent contempt.

You know what the latest outrage is? AG Barr is investigating the investigators. Seriously. I’m not joking. I won’t promote WaPo by linking them, but here’s the headline: Barr personally asked foreign officials to aid inquiry into CIA, FBI activities in 2016
Now think about this for a minute. Supposedly it’s an outrage that the AG would investigate WHY the Steele dossier led to three years of bullshit and pain for the nation and found NOTHING to hang on Trump. But, credit WaPo with being able to twist the story into a pretzel.

#FBI Director Wray talked to lawmakers about violence against law enforcement officers: “It takes an incredibly special person to be willing to put his or her life on the line for a complete stranger.” Learn more on FBI, This Week: fbi.gov/audio-reposito….
Director Wray emphasized not only the sacrifices of law enforcement officers who confronted dangerous criminals but also those 9/11 first responders who developed 9/11-related illnesses. The FBI has lost 15 special agents & one professional staff member to 9/11-related illnesses.
The FBI encourages all 9/11 first responders to register with the World Trade Center Health Program and the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund. For more info and resources: fbi.gov/news/stories/9…

(1) This thread will serve as a heads-up for #FBI #DHS #JTTF #InfraGard and the personnel working in #DHS-funded #ThreatFusionCenters who are grossly abusing their positions and the technology at their disposal.

I am going to be sending additional complaints to the Office of the Secretary of Homeland Security, Attorney General Barr and the #DHS Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties (CRCL).

In these complaints, I am going to outline ....
(3) the abuse of National Security Letters, which in my case have been utilized to engage in civil theft, tortious interference, loss of property, family, reputation and career opportunities.

I am going to reference the abuse of Community Notices, which have been utilized ....

Brennan and other ex-CIA officials fume about declassification order, but ignore that gov't officials have already leaked a ton of source/method information that was considered negative for Trump. dailycaller.com/2019/05/25/bre…
Some stories that disclosed very sensitive details:
-Putin directed attacks on election
-FISA on Carter Page
-Downer tip sparked probe
-Stefan Halper was FBI informant
-Azra Turk is gov't investigator
-CIA has a male Kremlin asset close to Putin
Leaks can come from a variety of places. But these leaks all pushed the narrative in one direction (an anti-Trump direction). Many of the articles were sourced to current and former intelligence and law enforcement officials.
