00:05:36 Retweeted @dburbach 2019-04-18 23:07:14 Astonishing watching MAGA world say there’s nothing new here, when the report is full of facts Trump WH flatly denied and called “fake news” at the time. Mueller even has Sanders etc admitting they lied to the press. How does this possibly *not* vindicate mainstream sources? https://t.co/jeCfe3my06
00:37:33 Retweeted @notcapnamerica 00:29:42 Why isn’t every reporter asking Bernie about this?If the 2020 candidates don’t bring it up they don’t deserve to win https://t.co/gbU72phSod
03:24:46 Retweeted @lawfareblog 02:06:14 A Lawfare analysis of the Mueller report is coming later this eveningвЂ”stay tuned.
03:25:51 Retweeted @djlavoie 01:23:02 I really miss @Sulliview as NYT ombudsman.How can both of these front pages exist? https://t.co/tlZK0vw55Y
04:25:27 Retweeted @pastpunditry 2019-04-18 18:49:28 As a presidential scholar who works in the Nixon White House tapes: at this point, the only reason Trump isn’t Nixon circa late-1973 is Congress and conservative media.
14:45:38 Retweeted @dcpetterson 13:33:35 People whine about Pelosi saying “impeachment is off the table”. That’s only half of what she said. It’s “off the table” *until there is sufficient evidence”.The purpose of the investigations is to establish exactly that evidence.
Investigations are the necessary precursor. in reply to dcpetterson
19:57:10 Retweeted @AdamParkhomenko 19:53:47 Romney translated: I am a weakling and a coward. I want desperately to be seen doing the right thing but not if it means republicans will be mad at me. You should never expect courage or action from me. https://t.co/6l2N7SwZZT

Curmudgeon’s Corner: Hitch a Star

On this week’s Curmudgeon’s Corner, Sam and Ivan talk about, what else… the Mueller Report.

Oh, and Sam talks about universal time, and Ivan reviews a movie. Full show.

@abulsme tweets from 2019-04-18 (UTC)

00:07:11 Retweeted @davepell 00:06:05 Please remember that Trump fired Sessions and hired Barr specifically, and solely, because he was angry that Sessions wasn’t obstructing.
00:14:26 I wonder if it will be possible to find a link to the report on Twitter once it is posted. I’m worried it will be difficult to find.
03:17:10 Retweeted @CarolLeonnig 00:48:49 BREAKING — Get ready to see a LOT of Mueller report. We’re told it will be lightly redacted, revealing a “granular” look at possible obstruction of justice evidence debated in probe of @realDonaldTrump
https://t.co/Y7dUZwmdS4
03:43:32 Oops https://t.co/h3RSitoOtB
05:09:48 Retweeted @jaredbkeller 2019-04-17 23:59:30 [INT. A diner in Iowa]ME: How is your last name pronounced?
PETE BUTTIGIEG: It’s ‘Boot-EDGE-EDGE,’ not ‘Booty-JUDGE’

PETE BUTTIGIEG:

ME: I’m president now
05:18:11 Retweeted @PreetBharara 2019-04-17 22:18:26 I’m preparing my own counter report. It will be comprised of many sections, each less than 280 characters.
13:03:02 Just to get this on the record, here are the Mueller report predictions I made on the Curmudgeon’s Corner Slack yesterdayвЂ¦ (1/5)
13:03:03 I’m going to go with about 30% redacted, most of that color coded as вЂњrelated to continuing investigationsвЂќ. The stuff that is not redacted will be embarrassing details, but about general events we already knew about. (2/5) in reply to abulsme
13:03:03 No brand new big bombshells. Everything will still be consistent with the вЂњuseful idiotsвЂќ theory of what happened on the collusion side. (3/5) in reply to abulsme
13:03:04 On the obstruction side we’ll see a run down of the kinds of things we already know about, and folks who always thought it was obstruction will still think so, but it won’t convince anybody who wasn’t already there. (4/5) in reply to abulsme
13:03:04 Alternately it will be really fun if we get hard evidence that Trump and family really were innocent, and this whole thing was the Russians framing Trump to encourage divisions in American society. Which is plausible. (Although still falls into the “useful idiot” zone.) (5/5) in reply to abulsme
13:14:24 Retweeted @mattsgorman 01:31:58 Breaking: The Mueller Report CD-ROM will also contain 12 free hours of America Online
13:27:09 I got up before 6 am for this stupid thing. Barr better be on time and not do one of these things where he keeps people waiting. :-/
14:14:05 So, interesting news conference. But mostly ignorable. We’ll see what we see later today. Most interesting thing to me was that Barr is going to give a less redacted copy to congressional leadersвЂ¦ but still without the 6e info, which he doesn’t want to file a court motion about.
15:07:07 Time to start reading I guessвЂ¦ https://t.co/mOHqiFc3zg
15:32:20 Started reading, but now have to get my son to school and then go to work. Reduced to listening to other people reading and talking about it on my headphones while I do other thingsвЂ¦
16:34:03 Retweeted @ChrisWarcraft 16:26:46 So basically the redacted report is вЂњTrump was too dumb to commit these crimes properly but REALLY wanted to commit crimes which by the way is still an impeachable offenseвЂќ and they’re trying to spin that as a win?
16:39:30 Retweeted @jbview 16:21:46 The Watergate-era Congress considered that kind of lies to the public to be part of of a legitimate impeachment. https://t.co/RdKvJYpmIw
16:44:09 Retweeted @OfficialJonZal 16:31:29 Because nothing says “TOTALLY EXONERATED!” quite like slumping back in your chair and announcing “Oh my God. … I’m fucked.” https://t.co/LZlWUn9QH4 in reply to OfficialJonZal
16:51:39 Retweeted @BenjySarlin 16:29:46 There’s an alchemy going on by which bombshell Russia stories in the news get derided as fake news when they come out and then old news when they’re confirmed by a massive federal investigation
16:52:04 Retweeted @BradMossEsq 15:49:47 .@DonaldJTrumpJr was spared a conspiracy charge because Mueller decided he was too stupid to know what he was doing was potentially illegal. https://t.co/qLA45D9aZj
16:54:56 6% is a lot less than the 30% I expected. But I seem to have been right that most of the redactions are related to ongoing investigations. Which is interesting on its own. https://t.co/9eU0uyaRcq
16:57:19 By the way, we aren’t recording the Curmudgeon’s Corner podcast until TOMMORROW night, so we’ll be able to respond to more fully digested responses to this report, rather than instant reactions as people are skimming and speed reading.
17:48:46 Retweeted @ElieNYC 17:10:34 Jesus Christ. Only 10 pages into the obstruction section, but the contrast b/w it and the Russia section is striking.
Russia Section: It all looks bad but criminal conspiracy is hard to prove.
Obstruction section: This is easy to prove for anybody with the authority to do so.
18:13:06 We win! https://t.co/EVQPsQuog0
19:31:03 Retweeted @maxbergmann 18:35:00 The press need to stop saying there was no вЂњevidence of collusion.вЂќ That’s Barr’s spin. The report is FULL of evidence of collusion. Mueller just said it didn’t legally amount to a criminal conspiracy.
19:53:44 Retweeted @jonfavs 19:50:54 This is unbelievably disappointing. Even if you don’t ultimately pursue impeachment proceedings, why on Earth would you say this today?Part of the American people making a judgment in 2020 requires a full account of the President’s criminality and abuse of power. https://t.co/DB634jA2Fq
21:10:22 Thread. https://t.co/eOByfbFm3K
21:18:56 Retweeted @RadioFreeTom 21:09:22 I have been on the road all day, and I am just now reading up on today’s events, and I’ll just say:Every Trump shill who demanded an apology from the Trump-Russia folks owes the Trump-Russia folks a big goddamn apology.
There was no crime. Fine. The rest of it is disgusting.
22:14:56 Retweeted @normative 22:04:14 So, the full report reinforces my reaction to Barr’s summary: An inquiry focused on whether there was an вЂњagreementвЂќвЂ”a legal prerequisite for a conspiracy chargeвЂ”definitionally omits the kind of public quid pro quo we all witnessed playing out.
22:16:30 Retweeted @joshtpm 16:42:43 Seems worth noting. Red underline is part Barr quoted, blue underline the part he omitted. https://t.co/5UOC22ZsZk
22:52:55 Retweeted @neal_katyal 21:27:49 This is a striking footnote. It’s raising seriously the possibility of criminal liability when Trump leaves office. Amazing. https://t.co/zSuMf1tL0f
22:57:02 I agreed with this a year ago. I don’t any more. Even if it is doomed to fail, even if it is doomed politically, there is a moral imperative to push as hard as possible here to try to bring accountability. If the Senate tanks it, that is on them, so be it. Make them defend him. https://t.co/gzWUOKJ09M
23:16:37 Nice! -> You can now download the source code for all Infocom text adventure classics | Ars Technica https://t.co/IoFUMpo1QH
23:20:34 Retweeted @DaveMc99TA 23:02:36 So aggravating. Basically D leadership has endorsed the idea that the President didn’t do anything wrong and the voters don’t need to understand what he did so now any future President can do the same thing. https://t.co/CpqH8jQxUi
23:24:11 Thread https://t.co/Bq6RhW0D0u
23:26:06 Another thread. https://t.co/JEiMrILD2F
23:50:16 Retweeted @samstein 14:17:59 The basic rationalization Barr gives for why Trump didn’t legally obstruct justice is that he was emotionally upset about being accused of potential crimes and bad media coverage and acted out. That’s the actual argument the Attorney General of the United States made.
23:59:00 @lrozen I read maybe 20 pages before I had to go to work this morning. Heading home shortly. Intend to ignore other things I should do in order to read most of the night. But I am a news junky. Very few people will do this. Hell, I may not actually end up finishing. But I will try. in reply to lrozen

05:58:26 Retweeted @ThePlumLineGS 2019-04-16 16:32:43 It’s now being reported that Trump’s aides are worried that the Mueller report will reveal what they told to investigators, and that this will infuriate Trump.As @paulwaldman1 note, what this really means is that Trump expected them to lie for him:

21:41:43 Of course they did. https://t.co/iR0A5V8V37
23:19:10 Retweeted @emptywheel 23:09:46 So basically, after promising a release tomorrow AM, the morning will instead look like this:9:30 Barr and Rosenstein brief an ignorant press corps
10:30 Trump releases his rebuttal
11:30 DOJ provides HARD COPIES (!!!!!!) of a 400 page document, not PDF
2:00 Public gets it
23:21:12 Important https://t.co/wNc5gkspi3
23:21:35 Retweeted @joshgerstein 23:18:12 Senior DOJ official confirms report will be going to Hill between 11A and 12N on compact discs…….still no word. Plan is to post report on Mueller website after it is delivered to Hill. No exact time given.
23:25:35 Retweeted @brianbeutler 2019-04-11 01:52:04 If Barr means to dare Democrats to launch an impeachment inquiry if they want to get Mueller’s grand jury information, and Democrats are too chickenshit to begin a proceeding against Trump, they could always move to impeach Barr instead…

16:10:18 Retweeted @natsecHeather 16:03:33 That seems logical, Matt; but 2 fact-based counters: 1) there’s no evidence from the intl conflict and political violence literature that ignoring incitement tamps it down. 2) Affected groups explicitly want to hear pushback/feel supported; that means keeping the issue elevated. https://t.co/6tJB7SDTjA

17:04:31 Retweeted @imbou 16:32:30 @abulsme Reagan was low because it don’t he massive recession that preceded that. We had a period of huge economic growth that then was the basis of his morning in America campaign. Carter had bad economy and then a hostage crisis that defined the campaign in the end. in reply to abulsme
17:04:33 Retweeted @authorlmendez 16:34:14 I’ve been saying this for a while but anyone who thinks they’re absolutely sure Trump is done for hasn’t studied enough polling history.

17:49:47 Retweeted @ThePlumLineGS 14:15:51 Let’s be blunt about this. The real aim of Trump’s attacks on @IlhanMN is to incite hatred towards US Muslims, and to silence a vocal advocate on behalf of their rights.We know this, because he’s confirmed his true aims, again and again.

20:41:21 Retweeted @ZerlinaMaxwell 20:13:27 To quote @owillis the MSM has a NORMALIZATION BIAS which means they basically laugh off stuff like I’LL PARDON YOU FOR BREAKING THE LAW and will say things like “well this is just how Trump is”
20:52:10 Retweeted @cam_joseph 14:13:20 To understand @KamalaHarris‘ campaign strategy you have to understand @mayaharris_ theory of the electorate. She’s spent decades researching nonwhite and female voters, both in policy and politics, and was an early champion of decarceration efforts. https://t.co/hmdOp2w0di

21:26:13 Retweeted @thisgreyspirit 01:48:59 (1/7) So apparently some (I hope very few) people online are using the fact that I am the primary developer of the eht-imaging software library ( https://t.co/n7djw1r9hY ) to launch awful and sexist attacks on my colleague and friend Katie Bouman. Stop.
21:29:14 Retweeted @tribelaw 20:24:30 If true, this is the most obviously impeachable action Trump has taken to date: It would mean this president has seized the power to put not just himself but all who do his bidding beyond the reach of law. Any such president must be removed at once.

RESPONSE: вЂњOooh!вЂќ

SCIENTISTS: вЂњWe’ve concluded that humans are catastrophically warming EarthвЂќ
RESPONSE: вЂњThat conflicts with what I want to be true, so it must be falseвЂќ
02:28:40 Retweeted @soledadobrien 2019-04-10 11:57:49 Your tweet could point out that his remarks are pure bullshit, and also that not one reporter in that room challenged him and said вЂњsirвЂ”that is untrueвЂќ. https://t.co/vKctTOmNNC
02:54:32 Retweeted @Crommunist 02:24:40 I was a fan of Inslee, but I am 100% opposed to his proposal to turn Donald Trump into a blimp. He’s an enormous eyesore of a gasbag already. We don’t need to give him the power of flight. https://t.co/6ndOwKy6QH

11:04:13 Retweeted @BNONews 10:54:42 JULIAN ASSANGE ARRESTED
– Ecuador revoked asylum
– Citing violation of rules
– British police walked into embassy, arrested Assange and dragged him out
– Arrested for breach of bail conditions and a U.S. extradition request
– Will appear in court ‘as soon as possible’
11:11:55 It will be interesting to see exactly what the charges and evidence are against Assange. If it turns out to be solely about вЂњjournalismвЂќ type activities, I may join those upset by going after him. I would not like that. But I strongly suspect there is more to it than that.

19:26:50 Retweeted @Erdayastronaut 19:25:27 It looks like the #beresheet lander (the first private lander trying to land on the moon) hit the surface going 134 m/s (wayyyyyy too fast) after its main engine cut out around 10 km in altitude <symbol> https://t.co/4cOlez7Fby
19:30:46 Retweeted @BadAstronomer 19:28:56 Well, that’s a shame. BUT getting to the Moon is very hard, and this was their first try. They should be commended for getting as close as they did; that alone is an achievement. in reply to BadAstronomer

23:32:19 And on top of the oppo being dug up by others, as he always does, Joe is busy shooting himself in his own feet. But a little pain is not bad, so that should be OK, right? https://t.co/KOOoRToNZV
