It's concerning but not surprising. Anyone who didn't realize that Barr had already shared the Mueller Report with the White House or that Barr would do anything other than orchestrate this ridiculous #CoverUp for Trump, hasn't been paying attention.
#Maddow
Barr won't release the full, unredacted Mueller report to Congress or petition the court to unseal grand jury info. He said if Nadler wants, he can petition the court, basically telling Nadler to sue him. As one does in a #CoverUp.
#BarrHearing #Maddow
BARR refused, on multiple occasions, to say whether he has shared the Mueller Report with anyone in the White House, where Barr's son-in-law, Tyler McGaughey, has worked since Barr was sworn in as Trump's AG.
#BarrHearing #Maddow
Per @kwelkernbc: In the last 24 hours, the White House is now no longer commenting on whether they have been briefed on the Mueller Report.
#Maddow
Per @neal_katyal: Under SC regs, Trump has the right to demand to see the Mueller report. Based on Barr's stonewalling today and Trump's recent rage-tweeting, it's obvious Barr shared the Mueller report with the WH recently.

BREAKING: Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin says he needs more time on @RepRichardNeal's request for Trump's tax returns, that he's consulting with DOJ —claiming that it could "set a dangerous precedent..."

Mnuchin is stalling. SHALL means SHALL.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, @LindseyGrahamSC. How many times do you have to be told that the Trump campaign WAS warned by senior FBI officials on AUG 17, 2016, that Russia was trying to spy on and/or infiltrate their campaign.
Aug 17, 2016: The FBI warned Trump's campaign that Russia would try to infiltrate their campaign and urged them to report any overtures. By then, 7+ Trump aides had contacts with Russian-linked operatives. None were reported to FBI, @LindseyGrahamSC.

When asked by @SenatorShaheen why he wants a probe into the origins of the Russia probe, Barr says because **he believes the US government spied on the Trump campaign.**

Barr is a full-blown conspiracy theorist just like Nunes and Trump.

I’m sorry, but this is weird.

First, if you’re confident in your decision, you don’t need to defend it. You just make it and move on. nytimes.com/2019/04/04/us/…
Second, there’s a strange mismatch between the pace of the super-fast “no obstruction” decision, versus not-so-fast #Mueller report vetting.

Obviously, Barr wanted to get the no obstruction finding out in his summary letter.
Reviewing thousands of pages of evidence to make a complex, fact-intensive legal conclusion on obstruction ought to be as time intensive as vetting a 400 page report for material that shouldn’t be released.

The fast-train/slow-train contrast is odd.

1. If you want to get rid of Trump, press on his taxes. IMO he's insolvent. If so, he knows this will be an "Emperor has no Clothes" moment and he may resign to avoid it. I know. Sounds crazy. But there are breadcrumbs.
2. I don't think he's denied the "he's tired" reports that emerged last week.

Tonight he's having dinner with the commanders. A coup? Maybe Aloha.

Every day #Barr doesn't disclose the full #MuellerReport, Trump looks progressively guilty and his poll numbers reflect it.
3. Barr wants two weeks? In two weeks Trump's polls numbers could reach low 20s. Barr can see that. He blew his roll out of #MuellerReport drop but does seem to understand the concept.

I presume Barr knows what he is doing is bad for Trump. So I must presume what

Barr in calling out media’s mischaracterization of his “summary of principal conclusions” of Mueller report as the “full summary” says the public will be able to read the report on its own (which will likely be redacted, per federal law, and to protect intel sources/methods).
2. AG Barr says there are no plans to run the report by the White House for a privilege review. (As POTUS, Trump has right to assert privilege over certain parts of the report but has said he’ll defer to Barr and let him decide what to release).
3. When the report is released, public will be able to glean the gap created by media coverage and expectations stoked by lawmakers from both parties; we’ll be able to discern how much the likes of Nunes, Schiff, Feinstein, Schumer, Meadows spun what they knew about the probe.

Barr’s memo is – blatantly and predictably – a bad faith “summary” of the Mueller Report. But a lot of the press is taking it at face value. It’s ridiculous. And I think it’s important to understand why that keeps happening. So here’s a stab at it.
My short answer is that the mainstream press has a comfort zone, and they were desperate to return to it.

The fact that a candidate sought out and received illegal help from a rival government, and now occupies the White House, is completely outside their comfort zone.
(Brief pause for some #NotAllJournalists nuance. Plenty of reporters and pundits have shown a dedication to the truth. We wouldn’t know a lot of what we know if it weren’t for them. This thread is for the Chuck Todds, David Brooks and NYT headline writers of the world.)

What happened to the #Mueller hype?
What happened to the Mueller will take down #POTUS threats [@JohnBrennan]?
Was MUELLER the 'insurance' policy aka #BLOCKADE designed to limit/restrict POTUS' ability to enforce the law?
[#TRAITORS]
"complexities, opaqueness & length of counterintel investigations, I’d be surprised if #Mueller was able to uncover breadth of this #conspiracy. More digging will have to be done. But there’ll be crimes. & we better get to see them://t.co/seYfCs0d6q
"A concise #Mueller report would mark the end of the beginning, not the beginning of the end, argues @neal_katyal"

White Nationalist Fail

Now u really SEE how small they are

The fear is greater than the reality
but u wouldn’t know that bc the MSM drank the koolaid & gave these fucking morons the National spotlight

Take away Trump’s bots and fake bs and you’ll find a shivering coward
They would have people believe these fringe groups are amassing everywhere and it’s just simply not true
Perceptions are made from perspectives

When the media skews our perspective it gives us a misperception of truth

it’s bad enough we have FOX with it’s 24/7 fascist drumbeat

We don’t have time rn to for this bs. Clear, accurate, reporting
Ignore Trumps gaffes 👉 it’s bait 🥩
