Not the first time Barr has ‘summarized’ investigative findings against GOP Presidents
Fascinating read from @rgoodlaw … A 1989 Barr memo "concluded that the FBI could forcibly abduct people in other countries without the consent of the foreign state." Barr refused to provide the full memo to Congress, instead saying he'd "summarize the principal conclusions.” https://t.co/WphU1tGv2Z

Sarah Kendizor is so right institutions won’t save us-Bush V. Gore, the Comey Letter, the Barr Letter.
The lack of leaks in the Trump Russia investigation-contrary to both Emailgate underscores the fact that instututions won’t save us and the FBI is a very Republican place.
Yet it’s the Democrats always sucking up to the FBI. For all their trouble it’s been over 100 years and there’s still never been an actual Democratic FBI Director
The notion that life long Republicans at the FBI-including Mueller and Comey-of all people!-were going to save us was always a canard.
Again, the trouble with my party is it is so obsequious before the very institutions biased against it. The squeaky wheel gets the grease-the GOP never sucks up to the FBI in the hope that this will make it more well disposed towards the party-of course, as the FBI is GOPLand-always has been-why would that be necessary?
If there’s one thing the GOP is a pro at that the Dems could stand to learn from it’s on setting the narrative rather than simply accepting it. This is true wether dealing with the MSM or the intelligence agencies. The modern GOP’s maxim is Bill Buckley-to stand athwart history and yell ‘stop!’
The Dems is-when in Rome do as the Romans do.
But there’s the difference-the GOP aspires to be-and in many ways is-Rome.
I always thought that Mueller actually should have communicated more with the public-ok Comey's leakfest was obscene but Mueller went too far the other way is there no happy medium? Watergate had press liaisons to keep the public informed

On the other hand isn't this premature before we see the report? It likely contains a great deal of evidence of non criminally charged collusion and coordination-Roger Stone/Jerome Corsi/Peter Smith

You know 1 point that @sarahkendzior @AndreaChalupa make that's so correct is the idea that institutions won't save us. Very true: Bush v. Gore, Comey Letter & Barr Letter. FBI in over 100 years has NEVER had a DEMOCRATIC FBI Director

My thought about Mueller is to compare him to Comey and Starr: When a Democrat is investigated there are endless leaks. When a GOPer is it's radio silence

Now that Julian Assange has been arrested, I hope he will soon be held to account for his meddling in our elections on behalf of Putin and the Russian government.

19/ So Steele believed his intel was *deliberately* being buried by US intelligence agencies—and his fears were *proven true* in the ten days before Election Day, when those agencies lied to the NYT about the existence of a counterintelligence probe rather than having no comment.

11/ There *should* have been a *massive* investigation into why U.S. intelligence *lied* to the New York Times in October 2016 about the existence of a probe of the Trump campaign, rather than simply saying it would neither confirm nor deny that. It *chose* to mislead Americans.

The IG Report was SUPPOSED TO look at that. But it took forever-it first got off on a tangent about Strozk's texts then McCabe and then when the report came out in 6./2018 nothing on the rogue agents. It did state that was coming… We're still waiting 10 months later
