Bill Barr’s tenure as Attorney General has led to an unprecedented politicization of the #DOJ. I submitted multiple documents that outline his efforts to suppress constitutional rights & tip the scales of justice in favor of the President. #BarrHearing (1/8)

Reading @AmbJohnBolton new book. So far he confirms how chaotic the Trump administration has been from the start but seems to make a defense for Trump by arguing his staff of advisors or "axis of adults" are to blame.
More to come as I get further into it.

Trump returned North Korea to the list of countries engaged in state sponsored terrorism on John Bolton's birthday.
Whatever happened to just sending a card?
#JohnBoltonbook

In In my a handful of pages Bolton has repeatedly confirmed how much weight Trump puts into things said on Fox News
Yes, we already knew that but to have Bolton confirm it so often in such a short period of time highlights how unfit Trump is to hold the presidency, or dog catcher

Sidney Powell up first for Flynn urging the D.C. Circuit to stop further “immersible intrusion” in executive branch power by Judge Sullivan. "There is nothing further for the court to do."

‼️ NEW: Former judge appointed in #MichaelFlynn case:

" The Court should therefore deny the Government’s motion to dismiss, adjudicate any remaining motions, and then sentence the Defendant."

Here is Ret. Judge Gleeson's filing:

"Flynn has indeed committed perjury in these proceedings, for which he deserves punishment...[The Court] should take Flynn’s perjury into account in sentencing him on the offense to which he has already admitted guilt."

1/ Real talk: we can (and should) dunk all day on the credulous fools & cynical grifters desperately pushing the #ObamaGate / #SubpoenaObama narrative, but it is if nothing else a bleak reminder that most of this country has no more than a 4th-grade understanding of basic civics.

2/ Obama had credible evidence--entirely apart from the Steele dossier, which also FWIW came from a credible source & had plenty of truth in it--that a Presidential campaign was, to some degree, coordinating with a foreign power. That's more than enough to open an investigation.

3/ #MichaelFlynn was known by then to be operating as an unregistered agent for Turkey, & involved in a plan to unlawfully kidnap a foreign national w/no criminal charges from the US for torture/imprisonment. Also in touch with Russia, for some reason? That's an investigation.

#Unmasking #MichaelFlynn

NEW: Sources confirm to Fox News that acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell has declassified the names of Obama officials behind the #Unmasking of #MichaelFlynn

Sources say documents related to that process are expected to be released soon

Sources tell Fox News that the documents, when released, will be released by the @TheJusticeDept, not ODNI.

The reason for that, per colleague @GillianHTurner:
The intel community has no authority over its own information when it comes to releasing to the public. Any US government intel the is released to the public lawfully must first undergo review either by POTUS or DOJ

NEW: #Russia probe files released as part of DOJ's move to drop #MichaelFlynn case are raising new Qs about a Jan. 2017 email @AmbassadorRice sent to herself.
A source close to @senjudiciary tells me investigators are now looking at that email more closely
foxnews.com/politics/doj-f…

An exhibit in DOJ's motion to dismiss #MichaelFlynn case detailed a special counsel intvu w/ former Deputy Attorney General #SallyYates & indicated @BarackObama was aware of Flynn’s intercepted Dec. 2016 phone calls w/ then-Russian Amb. Sergey Kislyak during the transition period

The document noted #SallyYates learned about the calls during a Jan 5, 2017, Oval Office meeting with Obama, Susan Rice, then-FBI Director James Comey, then-CIA Director John Brennan, and then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.
