Just asked on @MSNBC if Whittaker can hide the Mueller Report so it never sees the light of day. Know that I am willing to walk thru fire and scale the walls of DOJ to get that Report. Am counting on Congressman Schiff to subpoena - but am ready to serve. Just saying.

It is high time for insurance companies to put a surcharge on health insurance if the insured refuses to get vaccinated (unless unsafe, obviously). Now we all are paying for their unnecessary/expensive medical care. They can do it for smokers, they can do it for science deniers.

Ruh roh. Barr backing away from telling us the whole truth about the Mueller Report. Now calling it “The AG’s Report.” Bad sign.

Bad omen for Trump Org: subpoena from New York State Grand Jury. Such a subpoena is like pulling on a stray yarn in a sweater...unraveling can result. Pull, man, pull! Let’s discuss with @HallieJackson in 10 am hour on @MSNBC.

After listening to our Amb today, I must agree with Trump/Guiliani. In order for their smarmy conspiracy to proceed - she would have to go. Even Trump/Guiliani recognized the strength of her character. The difference is they were repelled by her character and I am entranced.

Ugh. Lectured by McConnell that “history matters; precedent matters.” Hypocrisy alert: Merrick Garland /obstruction of Obama’s 8 years. Make no mistake, McConnell will do whatever he decides is in his best interest, not the country’s. The Senate’s rules, due process be damned.

Barr hasn’t read the OLC opinions on whether you can indict a President? Why not? I have and I bet so has every MSNBC commentator. Seems like he didn’t read on purpose so he could avoid giving an opinion. Ugh.

Spare me any clapping for Pence. 4 years a sycophant. Since 1/6 – crickets. Now that his staff has been talking to the committee, he has no where to go. More a cornered animal than a hero. A patriot would scream the whole truth. Let’s discuss, @11thhour, @chrisjansing.

As long as Judge Sullivan ends up dismissing Flynn’s case “without prejudice,” future President Biden’s Justice Department can re-indict him.

I suppose everyone knows @glennkirschner2 was highly respected / feared as Homicide Chief. But did you know that even though he left the Gov’t, instead of making a stack of $ at some white shoe firm, he has chosen to devote his life/energy to helping crime victims. He is a gem.
She’s smart, strong and fearless. We were AUSAs together in the DC US Attorney’s Office in the mid-90s. @CynthiaAlksne was one hell of a prosecutor.

How long has AG Barr known about these Parnas texts and the Guiliani letter? Did he know, and do nothing, when our Ambassador was survailed? Good chance since Parnas was arrested, at least the texts. Wonder what else he is hiding? About to join @craigmelvin on @MSNBC, pls join.

I am shocked how bad the Trump’s lawyers are. They don’t seem prepared and Cippoline is particularly ineffective. When he was caught in the lie about the R’s in the Scif - Chairman Schiff stuffed in down his throat. D’s are smartly using Day One to make their case. Long game.

This anger in Minneapolis is borne from all the prior cases. There is no confidence that the Department of Justice cares about Justice. Barr shut down the Garner case - against the Civil Rights Division lawyers who were pro-prosecution. No Justice while Barr AG.

Trump has put Whittaker in a vice. Whittaker knows Nadler has a witness that Trump called him to complain/harass about SDNY, perhaps including installing a friendly prosecutor. Trump denies any such call happened- fake news. Now he has to choose. Best of luck.

Question for all: does anyone think Pres Obama should weigh in? Seems like Biden’s anti-corruption pressure on Ukraine was his policy - Biden just carried it out. R’s lying and lying on the floor of the Senate and he could set the country straight. My vote is: yes.

Guess I don’t get “wrapping up.” How are you wrapped up if Stone was just indicted, hasn’t even been arraigned in DC, and, assuming no plea - is going to trial. That is months and months away. Add, Corsi and my brow is all squished up.

As often happens in criminal trials, more evidence is uncovered after indictment (impeachment) that is available by the time of trial. So lucky to have an indefatigable national press corps in this country. We owe them a debt of gratitude.

Don’t kid yourself. Sondland has along way to go before he gets an honest man badge. He needs to come clean about what he knew Giuliani and his rogue policy, the July 10 meeting, and his infamous “no quid pro quo” tweet. His depo is full bs and “can’t recall”s.

Re: Meadows. Don’t miss Act 96, page 45. Call to State investigator Watson, “Is there a way to speed up the Fulton County signature verification in order to have results before Jan 6 if the Trump

Agree w/@RepSeanMaloney. While Sondland is now closer to the truth...make no mistake his preference was to lie and what truth we have, had to be forced out of him. Also I found him annoyingly smug. His casual jokes improper/offensive for this serious proceeding.
Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney out here with that strong New York Irish cop energy as he gets Sondland to say clearly that the investigations Trump wanted would benefit Trump

In a criminal trial, takes 12 to convict or acquit, anything else is a “hung” jury. In the Senate trial, takes 67 to convict or acquit, anything else is a “hung” Senate. If more than 1 and less than 67 – it is a “hung” impeachment, not an acquittal. Let’s be accurate. HTip: PK.
