It’s not lost on us that you deliberately chose to call a black man, protecting his family, a “shooter”, while labeling a sex offender, a “stranger.” This is egregiously racist, and you knew what you were doing when you worded this.

Look, I'm a tea party conservative, but what Bill Barr did today should anger every American, no matter your personal politics.
The top law enforcement officer in America just became a shill for the President. That's just plain wrong. No matter your politics, that's just wrong.

1. Russia interfered
2. They did it to help Trump
3. Trump wanted their help
4. Trump's campaign met with the Russians to seek out that help
5. Trump and his campaign repeatedly lied about those contacts
6. Trump fired the FBI Director to stop an investigation into the matter

Mueller concluded that he "had the authority and legal justification" to force Trump to testify but chose not to do so because it would cause "substantial delay" and he already had "sufficient evidence."
This decision merits more investigation by Congress and journalists.

I’ve had screen down & just reading but this I found unbelievable even though FAR from the most important thing. Sarah Sanders told special counsel that her slander of Comey (rank & file FBI had lost confidence) was a “slip of the tongue” and was not founded on anything. Liars.
Watch this video and the easy manner in which Sarah Sanders publicly said “countless” FBI employees reached out to her, thanking the White House for firing the FBI Director. As you watch, realize she later told Mueller her comments were actually baseless.

AG Barr has confirmed the staggering partisan effort by the Trump Admin to spin public’s view of the #MuellerReport – complete with acknowledgment that the Trump team received a sneak preview. It’s more urgent than ever that Special Counsel Mueller testify before Congress.

Barr says Trump's "non-corrupt motives" weigh more heavily than any "corrupt intent to Obstruct the investigation." So Barr acknowledges that Trump did show proof of corrupt intent so we are looking evidence of this right out of the gate in the Mueller Report. 20/

What we just saw was quite terrifying, and should provoke widespread calls for Barr’s resignation or impeachment. The Attorney General actually argued that the President is allowed to obstruct justice, so long as it can be written off as a colicky tantrum. vox.com/2019/4/18/1848…

53/ The obstruction issue will go to Congress. Barr/Rosenstein's views are *immaterial*. It's almost not worth publishing Barr's defense of Trump here—which is what Barr's giving right now. It's just Trump PR. All that's going to matter here is the *third* conspiracy allegation.
Barr says he and Rosenstein disagree with Mueller's legal theories about possible obstruction of justice before letting anyone see what Mueller's theories are..and says whatever Trump did was out of his sincere belief that the investigation about collusion was baseless. Wow...
BREAKING: AG Barr just said that he and Rosenstein 'disagreed' with Mueller's 'legal theories' on Obstruction when making their decision not to find that Trump Obstructed Justice.
There you have it America. Barr went against Mueller's own words.

Just been informed by DOJ that we’ll receive Mueller’s report only after Barr gives a press conference.
Once again, Barr wants to shape the public’s perception of the report.
This is on top of reports DOJ secretly briefed the White House.
This is not justice. Just PR.

Never thought I would hear an AG stand up and make excuses for a president’s repeated attacks on DOJ and it’s lawful investigations. Such a shameful performance.
Please throw this clearly misleading DOJ guidance out the window. Barr is delivering a full-throated defense of the President based on a report the public and Congress will only see after he’s done.
Based on the topics Barr will discuss:
1) whether executive privilege was invoked;
2) DOJ interactions with the WH
3) the redaction process.
This press conference is not about Mueller, it’s about Barr and Barr defending Barr.
1) whether executive privilege was invoked;

This press conference is not about Mueller, it’s about Barr and Barr defending Barr.
The evidence of obstruction laid out in the Mueller report is absolutely sufficient for both indictment and conviction. It is overwhelming. But Mueller could not bring an indictment because of a flawed & unconstitutional DOJ policy. That is the only reason there is no indictment.

Breaking on @MSNBC: NBC's @JuliaEAinsley reports that, according to the report, Robert Mueller did consult the Office of Legal Counsel opinion that you cannot indict a sitting president. She notes that that counters what Barr said earlier.
Page 17: "...the investigation established that several individuals affiliated with the Trump Campaign lied to the Office, and to Congress, about their interactions with Russian-affiliated individuals and related matters. Those lies materially impaired the investigation."

The top law enforcement officer in America just became a shill for the President. That's just plain wrong. No matter your politics, that's just wrong.

It's not exactly poignant but it's really striking the way that, except for a handful of devoted dimwit lifers, everyone in Trump's actual orbit plainly holds him in the lowest possible regard.
Donald Trump should be impeached.
Anyone who reads this report and says otherwise with any measure of confidence should not be trusted. In fact, I see dozens of impeachable offenses in this document. They are plain as day.

This decision merits more investigation by Congress and journalists.

Robert Mueller didn't conduct that investigation for you, Mr. Barr. He conducted it for the American people. You're supposed to work for us too. Start acting like it.
65/ AG Barr simply stood up there and presented excuses about Trump's conduct, while still refusing to show us the Report until later today. Neal Katyal points out on MSNBC that Barr refused to mention the "does not exonerate" part of the Report—which is... a *pretty big deal*.
Mueller made FOURTEEN referrals for criminal conduct outside the scope of the investigation. Fourteen! Twelve are still secret.
Barr seems to have set a new legal standard for a president who is frustrated with an investigation into his conduct. Anger and frustration can now be the basis for lashing out at a probe of alleged wrongdoing in the White House.
Attorney General Barr’s partisan behavior has triggered a crisis of independence & impartiality.

I still want to know what I wanted to know in 2016: Putin's Russia obviously has some kind of hold upon the man in the presidency. What is the origin and nature of that hold? It's not a legal question, it's a national-security question.
So, Mr. President, do you still trust Mr. Putin over the conclusions of this report and your intelligence services?
.@realDonaldTrump needs to publicly acknowledge and apologize for trusting Vladimir Putin over his own intelligence chiefs.
The Election was hacked to give YOU the election not by a 400 lb man but by your man Putin.

I know that Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 6(e) limits the disclosure of grand jury material. Either the House fits into an exception or the rule is unconstitutional as applied to the House. The Executive Branch cannot use the rule to hide results of an investigation.
It is the responsibility of Congress to exercise oversight of the executive branch. Congress needs to see the president’s finances.

It should have been posted much earlier, before the presser. But a further delay is that much more inexcusable.

* Trump picks Barr as AG
* Barr issues summary that seems to have distorted findings
* Barr briefs WH, helping it craft rebuttal
* Barr holds presser to *again* frame findings

Dear @TheJusticeDept AG Barr: Whenever you leave, you may want to consider a career at a PR firm, since that job does not require impartiality or taking an oath to the Constitution.
But as AG, you need to act in the public's interest instead of being a Trump stooge.

I'd like to congratulate Bill Barr on securing his spot alongside the Worst Attorneys General in American History.
Thinking today about this line from DOJ's mission statement: "to ensure fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans."

BIG: Mueller and his team concluded that Congress has authority to police obstruction of justice.
MUELLER: “[W]e concluded that Congress has the authority to prohibit a president’s corrupt use of his authority in order to protect the integrity of the administration of justice."
MUELLER: “[W]e concluded that Congress has the authority to prohibit a president’s corrupt use of his authority in order to protect the integrity of the administration of justice."
Mueller makes clear on page 220 that he disagrees with Barr's view that a president cannot obstruct justice by using his powers to undermine an investigation, and he believes Congress can "prohibit a President's corrupt use of his authority."
Yet Barr kept this from Congress?

On Trump’s obstruction from redacted Mueller report, it “concluded that Congress has the authority to prohibit a President's corrupt use of his authority in order to protect the integrity of the administration of justice." So, Barr was lying. Mueller wanted Congress to decide.

Robert Mueller didn't conduct that investigation for you, Mr. Barr. He conducted it for the American people. You're supposed to work for us too. Start acting like it.
Mueller makes clear on page 220 that he disagrees with Barr's view that a president cannot obstruct justice by using his powers to undermine an investigation, and he believes Congress can "prohibit a President's corrupt use of his authority."

I know that Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 6(e) limits the disclosure of grand jury material. Either the House fits into an exception or the rule is unconstitutional as applied to the House. The Executive Branch cannot use the rule to hide results of an investigation.
Barr just said that he is going to keep "grand jury information" from Congressional leadership. He cannot keep the results of a criminal investigation of the president from the House of Representatives, period.
Now is the time for @RepJerryNadler to act.

The Trump administration posted an unsearchable pdf of the Mueller report so it would be harder for you to read.

I'm not an expert on this stuff, but this seems like an interesting part on page 18 of the PDF that I haven't seen other people point out, where Mueller says his conclusions could conceivably be different if not for witnesses lying, invoking privilege, etc. pic.twitter.com/nRm85Ec4zj

Let’s crowdsource annotation of the Mueller report. Here’s an annotatable, searchable version of the PDF. Just log in with @hypothes_is to weigh in. docdrop.org/pdf/mueller-re… Thank you @TheViewFromLL2 for that!

This--PDF 10--is one of my favorite sentences in the report, given the way Barr likes to cite the did not establish sentence fragments.@emptywheel![]()

1. Russia interfered
2. They did it to help Trump
3. Trump wanted their help
4. Trump's campaign met with the Russians to seek out that help
5. Trump and his campaign repeatedly lied about those contacts
6. Trump fired the FBI Director to stop an investigation into the matter

Translated: The press fell for the most obvious trick in the book and instead of analyzing how the press fell for it, they will applaud the tricksters for tricking them.
>> @ChuckTodd on NBC's special report: "The way this has been rolled out has been very helpful to the president... In essence, he's gotten a three and a half week ahead start."
This report is very bad for Trump. It's very bad for Barr and its very bad for the press who credulously took Barr's word about Trump.

Stunning AG Barr “defense “ of Trump: “there is substantial evidence to show that the President was frustrated and angered by a sincere belief that the investigation was undermining his presidency...” Say what?! Are you Dr. Phil or Attorney General?
Here's the full text of this remarkable Barr spin:

Yet again Attorney General Barr has tried to spin the Mueller report before providing the actual report or the evidence underlying it.
This is undermining the independence of this entire process.

Barr is acting more like Trump’s defense attorney than the nation's Attorney General. His press conference was a stunt, filled with political spin and propaganda.
Americans deserve the unvarnished truth. We need Special Counsel Mueller to testify publicly in Congress.

Look, I'm a tea party conservative, but what Bill Barr did today should anger every American, no matter your personal politics.
The top law enforcement officer in America just became a shill for the President. That's just plain wrong. No matter your politics, that's just wrong.
