Billy Barr's war on privacy, media

One likely explanation for why DOJ succeeded in getting WaPo's phone records but not their email records is if Microsoft challenged a gag, and DOJ decided to withdraw subpoena instead. https://t.co/JLP1LMWly9

In reply to Not just any judge - Amy

See much longer thread - "horrifying" really does sum it up.

The implications of Mr. O'Callaghan being a dangerous political hack (or worse) are deeply worrying. Trump appointed him to head the DOJ's National Security Division in 2017. https://t.co/qYIqXQ8P7X

We now know that SC Mueller's push back against Barr's March 24, 2019 letter was PUSHING BACK AGAINST THE WHOLE OF THE DOJ'S LEADERSHIP. They were ALL in on the scam.

Nope. It's why we need a new federal law, like the OLC Sunlight Act. https://t.co/SVteOzTikc

In reply to Each day that passes w/Donald

Not just any judge - Amy Berman Jackson presiding over Rick Gates, Alex van der Zwaan, Paul Manafort and Roger Stone, with the latter two overtly lying to her and Stone putting crossbars on her photo (which Barr refused to prosecute) - and then Trump pardoned the latter 2 (after Trump commuted Stone's previous sentence and fine). Guess they all thought this presidency would slip away and they'd go off to retirement. Hoping Jackson gets the last laugh. Note that Jan 6 likely isn't covered (pardon was 23 Dec, and Roger was quite busy after), and Manafort has a rather limited immunity in his pardon.

Prosecutors ask a New York judge to appoint a special master to review potentially privileged materials seized when the FBI executed search warrants at Rudolph Giuliani’s home and office. https://t.co/wOZXiNpozc

Each day that passes w/Donald Trump NOT being criminally charged for the many crimes he inarguably committed is another day The Big Lie is allowed to deconstruct our democracy & become more firmly entrenched in the minds of Americans who are unwilling or unable to abide the truth

Patience is not my strongest suit, Glenn.
And yet...I have faith in Merrick Garland.
He's only been in office since 3/11, and I expect he will eventually get there.

A federal judge is calling for the release of a secret 2019 DOJ memo that AG Bill Barr cited to justify clearing Trump for obstruction of justice.

The judge called Barr's public characterization of the Mueller investigation's finding “disingenuous." https://t.co/McxJVBT7No axios

So it’s being reported that there were individuals/witnesses working with Giuliani while those same witnesses were cooperating covertly with federal investigators. You know what that means? Lordy, there will be tapes. pic.twitter.com/DfVirx9AhR

Who said there are no second acts in politics?
It's a multiyear comedy series.
