For @doc_kgb Katherine Gergen Barnett's op-ed in the @BostonGlobe on planning for Covid-19's second peak:

Well, she sure taught Trump a lesson this time.
@SenatorCollins is trying to take credit for this “the Inspector General Reform Act.”
It is a paper manifestation of Collins herself:
Toothless. Just words. No enforcement, no backbone. An embarrassment.
Co-sponsored w/ Joe Lieberman & @clairecmc.
Here is the “Go ahead, you can fire Inspectors General, just give us pretextual reasons” passage of the statute:

Emoluments breaking news:
4th Circuit votes 9-6 to reinstate DC & MD v. Trump.

Wilkinson's dissent is whiplash after Tuesday's Trump tax case:

Wilkinson: The remedy is Congress, not Courts!
Trump's argument in tax case: Congress has no power to subpoena!
assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6890…
Wilkinson dissent:
"But if plaintiffs cannot run to judges to enforce the Clauses, how could th[ey] ever guard against corruption? The answer is simple, common in our constitutional scheme: the interests protected by the Clauses are to be vindicated in...the courts of Congress."
I addressed this question in a @washingtonpost op-ed Tuesday on the Trump Tax Cases:
"Since the framers focused on the historic dangers of secret bribes, it is fair to assume they wanted such secrets to be uncovered. How can these clauses be enforced without oversight?"

This is a major development. Gleeson was a widely respected judge with no patience for destroying the DOJ.

Barr’s shameless hackery could backfire:
Judge Sullivan appointed him “to investigate whether Mr. Flynn committed perjury, an extraordinary move”

nytimes.com/2020/05/13/us/…
This is akin to Judge Sullivan appointing a special prosecutor independent of the DOJ.
I imagine Gleeson will hew closely to his assignment, but there is a possibility it could lead him to investigate more deeply.

The chance of Trump pardoning Flynn just went from low to high.
This is a good thread:
The issue isn’t whether Flynn lied simply by pleading guilty— that’s really not a likely perjury charge— but whether he lied in other statements to the court.
