Bill barr making news late on a friday. He will release the redacted Mueller Report by midapril and he will testify before congress on may 1st and he will not send the Mueller Report to President Trump in advance for a privileged review, or at least he has no plans to. Those are the headlines and we know them tonight because attorney general barr just dropped his third letter in a week. For analysis i have all of them. In a departure from the first two letters, this one drebtly rebuts the criticism that hes heard on what barr tonight calls immediate yeah reports about his initial letters quotes from the Mueller Report. As the reality has sunk in about what barr released and what he didnt release starting on sunday night, you probably heard legal experts, commentators who started blasting barrs approach, including the kinds of experts that attorneys general care about, criticism from past attorneys general.

Under which i will bear false witness against the president , nor will i make up lies to ease the pressure on myself i look forward to being fully and completely vindicated. Good morning and welcome to a. M. Joy. Well, its kind of hard to hear that first part over those lock him up chants, but this is the spectacle that the presidency of the United States has been reduced to, a defiant roger stone, just hours after the predawn raid of his florida home, almost seeming to enjoy the circus as he becomes the sixth trump official or adviser to be indicted or found guilty of crimes in the mueller investigation. Stone was charged with obstruction, making false statements, and witness tampering for allegedly lying to congress about his contacts with wikileaks as they released stolen democratic emails during the campaign now, its unclear exactly how long roger stone could face imprisonment if convicted, especially if mueller is holding back charges as a way to get him to spill some tea on his b

He was perpetuating propaganda lies, and it was a performance and it was a performance for one, and we already know this. He wants daddys approval so hes going to do whatever he can. Thats what all this political positioning is for donald trump, jr. So hake get daddys attention in his approval and finally feel that hes accepted. He was so obnoxious. Both of them were so obnoxious today on that panel. To channel him and fact check because its so difficult to do, but we need to do this. This is an example. He was overtalking and screaming at them, and know whoopi was trying to maintain order but it just turned into the Jerry Springerization of politics, and i want to Say Something else quickly about the whistleblower let me just say this.
