Federal employees can thank Bob Mueller for indicting Roger Stone this morning, which gave Trump a pressing need to change the news cycle, so now government can be reopened.
FLASHBACK:
Klobuchar: "A president persuading a person to commit perjury would be obstruction. Is that right?"
Barr: "Yes."
Klobuchar: "You also said that a president — or any person — convincing a witness to change testimony would be obstruction. Is that right?"
Barr: "Yes."
Things Trump is trying to distract you from: his AG nominee refused to commit to make Mueller’s report public, Cohen paid a Liberty Baptist IT guy for manipulating polls with a bag of cash, 1000s more kids separated from families at border than reported, Rudy conceded collusion.
The deadly attack in Syria today resulting in the deaths of US servicemembers is a tragic reminder that ISIS is not defeated. Retreat from Syria would be a grave strategic mistake and would put American security and our allies at risk.
@senatemajldr It’s tough to make a case for American leadership abroad when your conference is willing to abandon its leadership role at home. In your own words: “It is time for a leader who will lead.”
David Laufman (former chief of DOJ counterintel and export control section) on #MSNBC: “The president is a clear and present danger to the national security of the United States.”
@LindseyGrahamSC@realDonaldTrump Hypocrisy or evidence of a functional representative democracy? The constitution provides a gift that keeps on giving - every two years, the American people get to tell our elected officials how to do their jobs. #ServeThePeople
@SenTedCruz@fox7austin Wasn’t that compromise H.R. 695/S.A. 4163, the clean funding resolution that was approved by you and the rest of the #GOP conference?
@mitchellreports@kasie@SecPompeo@MSNBC Push @SecPompeo to answer 3 questions he skirted on FTN: As CIA director, did he have any knowledge about the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation? Who does the admin hold “responsible” for Khashoggi’s death? How will admin specifically “hold those responsible accountable”?
