I know you've seen headlines about former DOJ officials calling for AG Barr to resign, but read their actual letter.

This part strikes me as really important in terms of what happens next, and how the country can potentially pull back from the brink:

medium.com/@dojalumni/doj…
"We call on every DOJ employee to be prepared to report future abuses to the Inspector General, the Office of Professional Responsibility, and Congress; to refuse to carry out directives that are inconsistent with their oaths of office...

medium.com/@dojalumni/doj…
"... to withdraw from cases that involve such directives or other misconduct; and, if necessary, to resign and report publicly — in a manner consistent with professional ethics — to the American people the reasons for their resignation."

medium.com/@dojalumni/doj…
"We support and commend the four prosecutors who upheld their oaths and stood up for the Dept’s independence by withdrawing from the Stone case and/or resigning from DOJ. Our message to them is that we — and millions of other Americans — stand with them."

“Birx now becomes the third person to be designated as the administration’s primary coronavirus official.

Trump said that ‘Mike is going to be in charge.’

Pence said it will be Birx.

Meanwhile, Azar remains chair of the coronavirus task force.” nytimes.com/2020/02/27/us/…
“Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, one of the country’s leading experts on viruses and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infections Diseases, told associates that the White House had instructed him not to say anything else without clearance.”

nytimes.com/2020/02/27/us/…
“The decision to put Mr. Pence in charge was made on Wednesday after the president told some people that the vice president didn’t “have anything else to do,” according to people familiar with the president’s comments.”

Ah. Well then.

“Mr. Pence’s slow and ideological response was widely panned for a reason: Pence got it backward. It became a case study in what not to do in the face of a public-health emergency.” msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…
“As governor, Pence came under fire for resisting the CDC's urging to allow clean needles to be distributed because of his conservative, religious beliefs. But after mounting pressure from health officials and praying on it, he eventually relented.”

buzzfeednews.com/article/briann…
"Based on Pence’s response to the HIV outbreak in Indiana — 200 infections that could have been prevented if that response had been earlier — that concerns me...We’re already getting a lot of mixed signals. The public needs to be reassured right now."

Keep up the pressure, gang. While former DOJ officials have been demanding Barr's resignation, regular folks have been at it too. Since Sunday, we've gone from 28,000 of you to 36,000 having signed on to demand Barr's resignation! You can too, right here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/atto…
Woah! Make that 37,000.
Double woah! Make that 38,000!

Newly released #DOJ emails reveal details about the internal response by the agency to allegations that then-Deputy AG @RodRosenstein had wanted to #Wiretap President Trump and invoke the #25thAmendment against him. (Thread 👇) theepochtimes.com/doj-emails-rev…

Here are the seven things that I think Bob Mueller was trying to say this morning.
(1) Please read my report, because it documents matters of paramount importance, including multiple, systematic efforts to interfere in our election and obstruction of the investigation into this election interference.
(2) Please read my report, because election interference deserves the attention of every American and when a subject of an investigation obstructs or lies to investigators, it strikes at the core of the government’s effort to find the truth and hold wrongdoers accountable.

Let me remind you what I know about the women/men who work as attorneys (and agents) at #DOJ, based on my 18 yrs as an Attorney there. Even if Rod resigns or gets fired, I am confident that career men & women (many of whom are on Mueller’s team) will manage to pull us through./1
1st: Rod & Mueller have a plan for if one or both get canned. Remember how Rod deftly went around Sessions and the WH to appoint Mueller way back in 2017? He is no dummy. And neither is Mueller or any member of his team. So remember they have a plan in place. That plan will /2
Involve preserving documents, emails, texts, etc. 2nd: The plan will involve FBI & Director Chris Wray, plus General Counsel Dana Boente. It’ll involve long-time career prosecutors like Scott Schools, who sits next to Rod. You can read here abt Scott. slate.com/articles/news_… /3
