Like a spy novel. ”POTUS asked Adm. Michael Rogers, the NSA director, if he could rebut news stories on the Russia matter. The admiral’s deputy found it concerning. He wrote a memo describing the call. He and Admiral Rogers signed it and put in a safe.”


Trump profanely pushes back against descriptions of his behavior in the report


If you take nothing else from Mueller: 1) Russia attacked US political system 2) Trump team knew and hoped to benefit from it and told no one 3) Obstruction waits for Congress 4) Barr’s summary was a master-class in spin.

Squirming Trump lashes out at "bullshit" in #MuellerReport


Wow, complete use of vulgarity now directed towards former senior staffers like McGahn, Sessions, Porter, etc...


Opinion: Only Congress can hold Trump accountable now


From the Mueller report: When President Trump learned Mueller was appointed as special counsel, Trump “slumped back in his chair and said, ‘Oh my God. This is terrible. This is the end of my Presidency. I'm f---ed.’”


AG Barr has confirmed the staggering partisan effort by the Trump Admin to spin public’s view of the #MuellerReport – complete with acknowledgment that the Trump team received a sneak preview. It’s more urgent than ever that Special Counsel Mueller testify before Congress.

Sarah Sanders must resign


The Special Counsel’s report in no way exonerates @realDonaldTrump. In fact, it implicates him in criminal activity. Congress has an obligation to act like the separate branch of gov't it is and conduct serious oversight of this administration. Everything should be on the table.


What will US citizens do about a presidency that may not be criminal, but is incessantly contemptuous of ethical and legal constraints, and may be the knowing product of an attack on America democracy by a hostile foreign power?
