23:05:39 Retweeted @ezralevin 15:08:27 The most “radical” impeachment position in Congress right now is that a committee should consider whether the House should consider whether a discussion should take place in the Senate to consider whether Trump should be removed from office for crimes he clearly committed.

04:49:19 Retweeted @jonathanalter 2019-04-19 12:16:07 The idea that Democrats as a whole will suffer if they impeach Trump is fallacious and a misreading of 1998 history.

14:48:16 Retweeted @RadioFreeTom 13:17:51 One interesting aspect of the Mueller Report is not what’s in it, but how Trump’s shills have reacted to it. They have taken two positions.

2. The media totally screwed up this story.
Both are worth a moment here. /1

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

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

16:52:04 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.

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

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

23:20:34 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:

21:01:13 Retweeted @daveweigel 14:18:38 If you were one of those people who thought that the Barr memo had Changed Everything for Trump, congrats and I want to play poker with you. https://t.co/euzAVKcsmU
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
