Now, in normal times not being explicitly charged with a crime would be a pretty low bar to clear for a president in a given week. But these are not normal times, and the president and his supporters one week ago were reveling in his not being recommended for indictment. He was claiming total exoneration by the report from special counsel robert mueller. His complaints that it was all a witch hunt had been vindicated in fact, his allies said that now the tables were going to turn. All the people that had wronged him, now they were going to be at the receiving end of investigations. But the past week has maybe not gone how trump planned. The cracks first started to show a week ago tonight when attorney general william barr sent a third letter to congress about the report delivered to him by mueller. Only the first letter he sent was actually required. The second letter in which barr offered his own gloss on muellers findings is what the president used all week last week to claim vindica

That immediately calls to question as to whether or not that grand jury information is being properly withheld from congress or whether somebody should be asking a court to allow congress to see that st

William barr could do that himself as attorney general. Conceivably Robert Mueller could do that as special counsel. Conceivably jerry nadler and the democrats could make that request themselves to the court. That seems like thats t
