AG Barr tells @PeteWilliamsNBC that the entire storyline of the Trump campaign and its links to Russia in 2016 is a "bogus narrative."

So let's revisit what happened in the final months of the 2016 campaign.
@PeteWilliamsNBC June 9, 2016: Donald Trump Jr. - along with Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort -- meets with Kremlin-connected lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya.

"If it's what you say, I love it," Trump Jr. wrote back about the promise of Russian dirt on Hillary Clinton nytimes.com/interactive/20…
@PeteWilliamsNBC July 27: Trump himself asks Russia for assistance in the 2016 election: "If you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing."
@PeteWilliamsNBC Aug. 15: A Trump campaign associate -- Roger Stone -- communicates with Russian intelligence: "[T]he Conspirators, posing as Guccifer 2.0, wrote to a person who was in regular contact with senior members of the presidential campaign of Donald J. Trump" justice.gov/file/1080281/d…
@PeteWilliamsNBC Aug. 21: Stone appears to have advance notice of the WikiLeaks releases of John Podesta's emails before they first came out on Oct. 7, 2016: "It will soon [be] the Podesta's time in the barrel"

If you're overwhelmed by all the public hearings, transcripts and political back-and-forth in the impeachment inquiry, what's helpful is to revisit the evidence from the very start.

It tells a simple a story.

This morning's @MTPFirstRead: nbcnews.com/politics/meet-…
@MTPFirstRead Start with this NYT piece from May 9, 2019 nytimes.com/2019/05/09/us/…

This Dem voter-vs-Dem operative/donor divide is fascinating.

But I also wouldn’t completely dismiss elite Dem opinion — many of their jobs are tied directly to winning races and uniting the party.

They’re not always right, but they have a clear stake in the outcome
And right now, they’re seeing a Top 4 field consisting of:

— a vulnerable Biden
— a stalling Warren and worries about M4A
— a Pete who might not have upside with diverse voters
— and a Bernie who just had a heart attack
Moreover, among this Top 4:

— all are white
— 3 are 70+, the other is 37
— 3 are from the East Coast/New England
— none has won a statewide general outside the East Coast/NE

The party also is more divided than ever by ideology and age.

Elizabeth Warren's campaign clarifies she'll raise big-dollar money for the *party* if she becomes the nominee -- though not for her *campaign* nbcnews.com/politics/meet-…
That distinction will probably quiet Democrats worried that she'll unilaterally disarm in the general against the Trump-RNC machine.

Grassroots fundraising can make up eschewing those $2,800-per-person chicken-dinner fundraisers.

Less so, though, with the $100K checks to party
But it does open her up to charges of hypocrisy.

Why refuse to attend high-dollar fundraisers for your campaign, but gladly attend them for the party?

Thread: Barr’s interview today with NBC. In the first clip, Barr talks about how it’s inexplicable that Brennan and Obama talked to the Russians and wouldn’t talk to the campaign. He states before the clip starts there were trustworthy people they could’ve talked with in campaign
Barr explains the role of Horowitz and his conclusions.
In this two part clip, Barr explains how the case fell apart and they continued investigating anyway- that the information they were receiving was exculpatory.

@PeteWilliamsNBC AG Barr has essentially dismissed the findings of the IG that there was no evidence of political bias in the launching of the Russia investigation, saying that his hand-picked prosecutor, John Durham, will have the last word on the matter. nbcnews.to/2LIv4Tw

US Attorney General Barr: @TheJusticeDept will post Mueller report on its web site after it's delivered to Congress.
Special counsel report did not establish members of Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with #Russia, says Attorney General Barr.
No American knowingly assisted the Russians, adds Barr.

Thread: Commentary from Today’s Maria Bartiromo Show on FNC

1. With all that’s transpired over the last couple of weeks, I thought today would be a good day to convey some important commentary from Maria Bartiromo’s show. Here we go.
2. Her first guest: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
3. Bartiromo (“B”, henceforth) opens by commenting on @POTUS’s suggestion to send all illegals to sanctuary cities [LMAO] before introducing Graham (“G”, henceforth).

Shocker: Bill Barr—appointed AG after giving Trump a 19-page memo saying Trump didn't obstruct justice—just exonerated Trump of obstruction of justice. Mueller specifically said "this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him"
Mueller couldn't establish corrupt intent for obstruction of justice b/c Trump refused to talk w/ investigators. W/o putting Trump under oath, Barr exonerates him. Barr was put in charge of DOJ to salvage the GOP—even if it meant letting Trump get away with everything. Shameful.
.@JeffreyToobin points out the impropriety of AG Barr concluding no obstruction of justice when the whole point of appointing a special counsel was b/c Trump’s political appointees—like AG—have an inherent conflict of interest. And now we see, AG Barr is indeed Trump’s lackey.
