Attorney General William Barr’s summary of the special counsel report does not address key counterintelligence aspects of the investigation into Donald Trump’s ties to Russia, according to national security experts quoted by The Atlantic.
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii), a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate is now saying that if special counsel Robert Mueller had indicted Donald Trump it would have eventually “led to civil war.”
Gabbard issued a lengthy statement that she posted on Twitter:
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski expressed outrage at Donald Trump and his allies today for claiming vindication before special counsel Robert Mueller’s report had been released to either Congress or the public
Democratic members of Congress are ready for a fight against the latest move by the U.S. military to make money available for Donald Trump’s misguided wall at the Mexican border.
It was announced Monday night by the Pentagon that it will be transferring $1 billion to the Army Corps of Engineers to build barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border. The move immediately brought an outcry from from Democratic lawmakers who have refused to appropriate money for the wall.
William Barr’s latest move as Trump’s attorney general is intended to destroy the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) but also may destroy the GOP.
Last December a federal district court judge issued a ruling saying the Obamacare individual mandate is now unconstitutional because of a provision of the 2017 GOP tax scam law. At the time we reported that the decision could give Democrats control of the Senate in 2020.
William Barr's four-page summary was a political document that was seemingly designed to protect Trump. It should be treated as such.
Donald Trump would rather make Puerto Rico suffer than admit that his initial response to Hurricane Maria was a massive failure.
Not only do the American people need to read the full report immediately, but Robert Mueller should testify before Congress to clear the air.
William Barr's hastily-crafted summary has raised far more questions than it has answered. The American people deserve the actual report immediately.
Former Attorney General Eric Holder exposed the holes in Trump's fake total exoneration claim and explained why Mueller must testify before Congress.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Republican chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee said on Monday he will ask Attorney General William Barr to appoint a special counsel to look into the origins of the investigation of whether President Donald Trump’s campaign conspired with Russia to influence the 2016 election.
The Republican calls for House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) aren’t based on facts, but fear of his investigation.
House Minority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) called on Schiff to step down as chair of the House Intelligence Committee, “[Schiff] owes the American public an apology. Schiff has met the standard that he has imposed on other members of Congress of when they should step back from their positions. He has exceeded that standard, and there is no question he should step down from the Intel chairmanship.”
Attorney Michael Avenatti has been arrested and charged with extortion, wire, and bank fraud for trying to extort $20 million out of Nike and using a client's money to pay his own personal expenses.
The White House is doesn't know if Trump will read the Mueller report, which is odd, considering that Trump is falsely claiming exoneration based on the report.
White House Counselor Kellyanne Conway told reporters Monday morning that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) should resign over his collusion comments because she says he "lied."
People need to stay resolute about reality, demand that news networks stop playing Trump’s lies without correcting them first
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was on CNN’s “New Day” this morning ranting that the Mueller probe was an effort to “overthrow” President Donald Trump.
CNN’s John Berman immediately shut her down.
Ann Coulter on Monday said Democrats can win in 2020 by pointing out that President Trump “hasn’t kept any of his promises” after reports that special counsel Robert Mueller found no conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia in the 2016 election.
