It appears Barr campaigned for the AG job by insuring Trump knew he’d end the Mueller investigation. The memo was fishy enough - no one sends a 20 pager to DOJ for giggles. Barr believes Trump is above the law & that’s disqualifying for someone nominated for AG.

Very odd that this sentence, which is maybe the biggest piece of news in the WSJ story on Barr's memo, wasn't in the original version that posted at 10:19 last night and now shows up in graf 23 as if it is no big deal. It is a huge deal.
Ari had Ken Starr doing the literal juellz.gif last night lol

Pete Williams asks Rosenstein whether he’s going to continue to oversee the Mueller investigation in the Whitaker era. Rosenstein said: “We’ll have more for you on that later today. ... The investigation is going to be handled appropriately by the Department of Justice.”

Ari served him something fierceMy uncle was cutting my hair last night and we was straight dying laughing at his ass making excuses.
He took 3.5 mill from a Russian Oligarc you damn right he ain’t gonna vote to pass that Mueller BillThen why not pass it. McConnell is a serious threat to our democracy.
God damn your pessimism is unavoidable when you gonna drop this schtick ?! Everyone around Trump except his family has been lined us.Well I mean...I'm sure the Dems will vote to impeach him but it'll never get through the Senate in a million years, so it's a wash.
Best not to set your expectations too high.
Unless Mueller has dirt on 20 Senate Republicans they're just going to ignore Trumps bad/criminal behavior like they've been doing. If anything happens to Trump it'll probably have to be after he's out of office and the GOP can't cover for him.

Interesting Rosenstein comment about the Barr memo:
"Our decisions are informed by our knowledge of the actual facts of the case, which Mr. Barr didn’t have.”
