Joint statement from Mueller & Barr:

“The Attorney General has previously stated that the Special Counsel repeatedly affirmed that he was not saying that, but for the OLC opinion, he would have found the President obstructed justice.”
“The Special Counsel’s report and his statement today made clear that the office concluded it would not reach a determination—one way or the other—about whether the President committed a crime. There is no conflict between these statements.”
Barr previously said that Mueller had told him his conclusions on obstruction would be same with or without the OLC opinion.

Awaiting full confirmation but this should have been expected.

If true, it should also make some folks very nervous.

Recall, it was Durham who was investigating Baker for illegal leaking PRIOR to Durham's appointment by Barr to investigate the origins of the Trump investigation
2) Baker: “I had a jaundiced eye about everything, yes. I had skepticism about all this stuff. I was concerned about all of this. This whole situation was horrible, and it was novel and we were trying to figure out what to do, and it was highly unusual.”

3) Baker: There is another occasion that I can think of where somebody brought material to me, based on a preexisting relationship. They gave the material to me. Same situation [as Corn].

IG Horowitz: "I do not now anticipate a need to to prepare and issue separate classified and public versions of the report."
Interesting that Horowitz seems to have confidence to indicate release of one single report.

A couple options:

1) Barr may have already authorized certain declassifications.

2) IG Report might not be overly detailed.

Caveat: Reports indicate IG Report will be lengthy...

(a) a 'thank you' for writing the book (amazon.com/Trumponomics-I…) and the op-ed (wsj.com/articles/the-f…)
(b) an elaborate ploy to get me to waste my next 12 hours on Moore clips
(c) a real thing

I think I am going with (a) but what do I know
i'm still skeptical this will materialize but looks like it may be (c) after all

I wonder if @realDonaldTrump knows that @StephenMoore is in favor of the QT

Rudy Giuliani explained why Julian Assange & Wikileaks should not be prosecuted - using the Pentagon Papers as an example
The Pentagon Papers were illegally stolen, and were disseminated by major news media without the media or journalists being prosecuted consortiumnews.com/2018/12/31/giu…
The Pentagon Papers were published by the Washington Post & New York Times (who now employ Deep State elites on staff and are hypocritically screeching for Assange’s head)

Washington Post & NY Times publish “leaked” claims by anonymous sources, with cherry picked (if any) info.
Corp media used to be covertly infiltrated by agents/officials of the State and Deep State

Now corporate media brazenly hires and uses so-called ex-officials of the State and Deep State - and openly pushes their agendas and protects their interests

That’s a 👉🏼captured press.👈🏼

Rudy, you may not know this, but it's illegal to knowingly & willfully fail to report a debt on your financial disclosures. Your client failed to disclose this debt to Cohen. We've filed criminal complaints against him for it. Thanks for helping us prove them. Follow this thread:
In March, we filed complaints with DOJ & OGE alleging Cohen made a loan to Trump for which he expected to be reimbursed after making the Stormy Daniels payment. If it was a loan, Trump seemingly violated federal law by failing to disclose the liability. citizensforethics.org/press-release/…
Then in May things got interesting, as newly hired Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani appeared to confirm that it was a loan and that Trump subsequently repaid it in interviews with Fox News, Washington Post and New York Times. We supplemented our complaints. citizensforethics.org/press-release/…

Okay... so Peter Strzok is friends with FISC judge Rudy Contreras PRIOR to Flynn's guilty plea, but no one knows this? Less than a week later, Contreras is recused...no reason given. We find all this out today, and the *randomness* of the case assignment is laughable now.
#QAnon

Now, a little digging into Contreras background gets interesting. He worked for Jones Day nearly right out of law school...and then guess who hired him?

ERIC HOLDER.

Stay with me, I'm not done yet....
So in 2011, I found a press release that looks real suspicious. Eleanor Holmes Norton RECOMMENDED Contreras to Obama for the US district court DC judgeship.
(Still not done)...

(THREAD) BREAKING: The just-released "Navalny Tape" gets us *much* closer to seeing the whole of the Trump-Russia coordination narrative. In this thread I explain how a dozen Trump aides fit into the narrative—with Manafort and Papadopoulos as the stars. Hope you'll pass this on.
1/ The Trump-Russia coordination narrative becomes much less confusing—particularly after today (more on that in a moment)—if you just (a) know all the key players in the narrative, and (b) understand the relatively limited role that nearly all of them except four or five played.
2/ Here are the names to know: Trump, Trump Jr., Kushner, Manafort, Gates, Sessions, Page, Papadopoulos, Clovis, Lewandowski, Hicks, Flynn, Prince, Cohen, Sater, Phares, Gordon, and Bannon. That's 18 names—but most played a relatively small role in the narrative. I'll show you.

(THREAD) It's time to tell the biggest untold story of the 2016 election: how a cadre of pro-Trump FBI agents and intel officers—some active, some retired—conspired to swing the election to Trump. The story involves Flynn, Prince, Giuliani, and others. Hope you'll read and share.
1/ True Pundit is a pro-Trump fake news site that began publishing on June 9, 2016—the day that Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort met with Kremlin agents in Trump Tower to discuss the Kremlin's provision to the Trump campaign of incriminating material on Clinton.
2/ True Pundit would quickly reveal itself as having the same agenda Trump Jr. had when he met with Kremlin agents on the day True Pundit launched: its mission would be to destroy Clinton's candidacy by uncovering incriminating material about her—particularly via her emails.
