This lawsuit is why it's vital to hammer home the truth about Trump's collusion.
It will be tempting to laugh it off on grounds that the op-ed preceded the Mueller report, so it couldn't be *knowingly* false.
It would also be accepting Trump's lie that Mueller found no collusion.
In other words: It would be accepting Trump's entirely false premise that Democrats and the press and even Mueller were pursuing a figment and therefore engaged in a "witch hunt," which we already know will be central to his 2020 campaign.

The real truth is that there was collusion. Trump knew about it, and, according to people within his own campaign, directed it.
The op-ed is not false, knowingly or otherwise. That is why Trump is attacking it.

The lawsuit is also another clear example of how Trump is using the victim card to justify his attacks on democracy, going after the free press, the rule of law, even his own government—anything, in other words, that could constrain his abuses of power.

One year ago today, the DOJ released the Mueller report.
It's the most damning document ever released about a sitting president—which is why Trump and his allies have spent the past year trying to erase its conclusions.

To start with, there's the "sweeping and systematic" attack on American democracy, which Trump continues not to take seriously—and sometimes seems to deny even happened.

Then, there's the collusion—hundreds of contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia, secret meetings to share polling data and campaign strategy, and advance information about what WikiLeaks would be releasing to help Trump. themoscowproject.org/dispatch/one-y…

Nothing to see here, just Trump explicitly saying he has no problem with foreign disinformation campaigns targeting American voters
...and, as always, saying he has no problem with Russia, the country that attacked our democracy on his behalf in 2016 and 2018 and, according to Trump's own intelligence community, are doing so again in 2020.
Reminder: Trump put sanctions on Russia because Congress forced him to with a veto-proof majority. Then, he released a signing statement calling the bill unconstitutional and did everything he could to undermine their rollout.

"The Court cannot reconcile certain public representations made by Barr with the Mueller Report...[T]hose statements cause the Court to seriously question whether Barr made a calculated attempt to influence public discourse about the Mueller Report in favor of Trump."
"The Court has grave concerns about the objectivity of the process that preceded the public release of the redacted version of the Mueller Report."
We couldn't agree more. Here's our list of the reasons Barr can't be trusted: themoscowproject.org/explainers/the…

The key decision, from George W. Bush appointee Judge Reggie Walton: The DOJ must turn the un-redacted Mueller report over to the court by March 30, because Barr can't be trusted to oversee redactions without the court's "independent verification."
