I saw this last night, came in here to post or see if it was being discussed, and decided I didn't have the energy to start a whole thread. This administration is exhausting!

He's definitely been portrayed as pro-45 in the news lately. What else are we about to learn?

Adam Schiff to make criminal referral for Erik Prince to Justice Department

"The evidence strongly suggests that he misled our committee," Schiff told the Post's Robert Costa. In 2016, Prince met with Donald Trump Jr., United Arab Emirates emissary George Nader and Israeli social media manipulation specialist Joel Zamel at Trump Tower — a meeting first reported by the New York Times. Earlier this month, Schiff said on "Meet the Press" that Prince did not tell the committee about the meeting during his testimony, despite claiming he had done so.

So, will he be called in for a little chat with the House?

I heard on the radio that CO governor is going to announce that CO primary is going to move to Super Tuesday.

Didn't he already put in his resignation letter months ago but stated he would remain until the Mueller report is released? This isn't new news, right?

That's what I thought.

That's what I thought but then it said it was submitted today. Maybe it was just that he planned to resign once the report was released?

The Rosenstein letter is pretty gross, so while we knew he was going to resign it is still a thing unto itself. He fawns all over 45 and ends with "America first," just in case anyone was still wondering where he stood in this fascist nightmare.

It is clear someone got to him. That someone is probably Russia. His sudden turn is all sorts of fucking shady.

Prior to this week I did not realize how loyal he was to #45. It is disturbing.

Mueller sent a letter to Barr back in March complaining about his 4-page summary.

Re: the Mueller letter

I don’t feel like going back through the hundreds of threads, but I think several of you/us mentioned that we suspected Mueller was not going to be pleased with Barr’s summary. I am dying to know how the journalists got their hands on the letter from Mueller.
I think this is going to increase pressure on House Dems to get Mueller to testify. It is going to be a shitshow on the Hill if/when he does.

Barr testifies tomorrow to the Senate Judiciary Committee, so I’m sure Lindsey Graham is busy coming up with some talking points tonight.
