It’s worth noting that Cohen didn’t find a new hard drive or documents; what he’s offering to share with Congress is what was recently returned to him by investigators. He hadn’t been able to review or share these materials with lawmakers when he testified earlier this year.

Despite being occupied with his own troubles, Avenatti took time to tweet this on Cohen 3 hrs. ago:

John Dean on Barr; recommends Rick Wilson's analysis and makes interesting analysis of his own:

Good analysis reporting that Barr appears headed for the wrong side of history in his embrace of Nixonian tactics! As one GOP thinker, ⁦⁦@TheRickWilson⁩, has explained: “Everything Trump Touches Dies.” RIP Barr’s reputation. https://t.co/qY7E4Ei1ZS

This DOJ explanation is baloney for they could have gone to court to get the grand jury info released. They haven’t done anything other than stall. Barr doesn’t want the Mueller Report out. https://t.co/zErnMPsSVp via @politico

Increasingly, it is appearing that AG Barr has falsely framed the narrative of Mueller’s Rpt and Trump is probably up to his neck in both collusion and obstruction, but b/c he is POTUS was cut a lot of slack? Sooner or later the truth will surface. https://t.co/KXtwnadCyO

Michael Cohen wants House Democrats to keep him out of prison

By Rosalind S. Helberman & Colby Itkowitz @ WashingtonPost.com, April 4

Michael Cohen’s lawyers told congressional Democrats in a letter Thursday that President Trump’s former fixer has discovered a trove of new files that could be relevant to their investigations into Trump.

The lawyers made this claim as part of an unorthodox appeal to key Democrats to help them keep Cohen out of prison. The lawyers asked the Democrats to put in writing that not only has Cohen already been significantly helpful to them, but also that he could be a valuable asset going forward.

Cohen’s lawyers contend that time is running out before his three-year prison sentence begins in May to go through the recently accessed 14 million files from his computers and phones, including all emails and voice recordings.

The lawyers tease that Cohen has “located several documents that we believe have significant value to the various congressional oversight and investigation committees,” and needs to remain out of prison to continue sifting through them [....]

In reply to The Mueller leakers now

What NYTimes knows, presumably Mueller's team filled in many of these gaps. "No collusion"? "Exoneration"? Face the music, including the media ready to forgive and move on.

Very interesting that @washingtonpost has now matched the @nytimes story. We went 22 months without even a peep from Mueller and his team, and now this. https://t.co/jM5lk7wFfp

In reply to So let the leaking finally

The DOJ can't prevent ex-DOJ members that were on the Mueller team from talking to Congress:

Just noting: a number of Mueller’s team members are leaving or have left the Justice Department. There’s nothing DOJ can do to stop them from talking to Congress.
