Here's the absolutely empty & patronizing offer that DOJ gave to Judiciary to try & prevent them from charging Barr with CoC. Seems to clearly show DOJ's contempt for Dems & for the rule of law. Nadler better not take this, it's NO deal. #TuesdayThoughts politico.com/story/2019/05/…
2-AND it became evident today that DOJ have failed to produce "any documents responsive to [House Intel] requests and has not agreed to schedule any testimony, even after Chairman [Adam] Schiff and Ranking Member [Devin] Nunes sent a follow-up letter in late April, almost a month
3-after the DOJ didn't respond to their first letter.” Schiff and Nunes said that absent “meaningful compliance” by Thursday of this week, the committee would “have no choice but to resort to compulsory process” by Fri." Dem leadership have to be done with this now. ENOUGH!
4-Chairman Nadler has just confirmed that Judiciary will NOT be accepting the terms of today's offer to compromise from DOJ. The contempt of congress vote ag Barr will go forward as scheduled tomorrow morning, then on to a full House vote. And it's gonna pass. #TuesdayThoughts

1-Hearing a lot of ppl talking @ how because of him goading Congress, Trump possibly really does want to be impeached. If he didn't face so much criminal liability once he's no longer in office, I might believe it. When you read the Times pc @ his income losses & their pc about
2-his remarkable Real Estate fraud, it becomes evident that Trump got away with everything-so much so that his muscle memory is about not getting caught. He honestly, completely believes that he will not be convicted by his GOP Senate. He may be right.
3-But I don't think that he wants to be removed. #WednesdayWisdom
Here's the NYT pc about the Real Estate Fraud committed by Trump and his Father for many, many years. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Every single word of what Dana Milbank has to say here is true. His WH press creds were revoked, & it also happened to several other of my colleagues. This is unconscionable and EVERYONE in America should be outraged! #WednesdayWisdom #freepressmatters washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-w…
2-"I’m not the only one. It was part of a mass purge of “hard pass” holders after the White House implemented a new standard that designated as unqualified almost the entire White House press corps, including all six of The Post’s White House correspondents. White House officials
3-"then chose which journalists would be granted “exceptions.” It did this over objections from news organizations and the White House Correspondents’ Association...

So it's now being reported that Trump, Jr is considering not obeying the Senate Intel Comm's subpoena, pulling a Barr-not showing up. Jr. & 'his associates' are said to be furious that a GOP controlled comm would issue this subpoena. I find it fascinating. politico.com/story/2019/05/…
2-"The Mueller report also includes a mysterious redaction that hides the fallout from Trump Jr.’s refusal to participate in a voluntary interview with the special counsel.
3-"The blacked-out section has set off speculation Mueller tried to subpoena Trump Jr., or the president’s son invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination."

Until now, the only SEO space where AMP was kind of "mandatory" was on news: if you want to appear on the "Top stories" box, you kind of need to have your articles to use AMP. You can appear there withouth AMP, but you don't get the same visual benefits #AMP #SEO .
Now Google is bringing "Stories" (like Instagram Stories, Snapchat Stories, etc.) to search results. They just announced it at #ampconf (see ) #AMP #SEO
This means that for certain kind of queries (by now: travel, and later also gaming, movies, tv and fashion) the first result will get another "special box" called "Visual Stories" where you can only appear using not only AMP, but AMP stories #AMP #SEO

#Barr to @RepEdCase: "Until someone shows me a provision in 6(e) that permits its release, Congress doesn't get 6(e)" grand jury material.

@marty_lederman and @BarbMcQuade have got the answer

Two provisions—under Rule 6(e) itself—permit sharing grand jury info with Congress
1/3
Expert tip 1: One provision for sharing grand jury info does not even require prior court approval.

Expert tip 2: Barr is apparently daring Congress with idea it needs to start impeachment proceedings to qualify for the other provision. Lederman's analysis shows that's false.

Shocker: Bill Barr—appointed AG after giving Trump a 19-page memo saying Trump didn't obstruct justice—just exonerated Trump of obstruction of justice. Mueller specifically said "this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him"
Mueller couldn't establish corrupt intent for obstruction of justice b/c Trump refused to talk w/ investigators. W/o putting Trump under oath, Barr exonerates him. Barr was put in charge of DOJ to salvage the GOP—even if it meant letting Trump get away with everything. Shameful.
.@JeffreyToobin points out the impropriety of AG Barr concluding no obstruction of justice when the whole point of appointing a special counsel was b/c Trump’s political appointees—like AG—have an inherent conflict of interest. And now we see, AG Barr is indeed Trump’s lackey.

Spent Saturday evening witnessing Guatemalan asylum seeker Hermelindo Che Coc reuniting with his six-year-old son Jefferson Che Pop after they were separated for nearly two months under President Trump’s ‘zero-tolerance’ immigration policy. 📸 ⬇️ goo.gl/aEEP9U
Before the reunion, Hermelindo mopped floors & washed bed sheets at the home in the L.A. area where he was staying. He cooked his favorite chicken dish. He bought new Spiderman themed clothes. “I want him to walk in here and know he’s home,” Hermelindo said.
Translation for certain phrases are scribbled down on paper as Hermelindo prepares for his reunion at LAX. “I’m his papa and we’ll always be together.” #yoquierominiño

Here are my (perhaps unconventional) thoughts on the McCabe departure today. I’m not a TV pundit but I did work @ #DOJ for 18 yrs, 15 of which I was employment counsel for DOJ. McCabe is career SES/not political. They couldn’t remove/fire him unless they all reached agreement. /1
I suspect new General Counsel Dana Boente worked on a settlement agreement over weekend to get McCabe to resign in return for McCabe getting to use paid administrative leave + benefits so that he won’t take financial hit. McCabe would have agreed to stop work & depart early. /2
It is not unusual to reach this type of agreement with an employee you need to get out of the office. Although usually the employee would be a poor performer and usually you couldn’t pay him for not working for more than 10 days per DOJ policy. Firing McCabe would be illegal. /3
