It's a mad, mad world. Attorney-at-law. All views are my own. No legal advice is being offered via Twitter.

@MSNBC Even Lady Justice with her blindfold on would’ve put Mueller’s report on the scale with the “summary” on the other side and said, “Your summary feels a bit light, Barr... Perhaps YOU’RE blind too and can’t see the sword in my other hand?”

[Matthew James @thrd_wrld]

@MSNBC No is asking Trump to turn over anything. That ship has sailed. Rather, the IRS is being told as a matter of law to surrender tax records in its possession.

[Matthew James @thrd_wrld]

@MSNBC Yeah, and I hear “covfefe” was actually a typo this whole time! ... Seriously? The latest revelations about Trump this week involve the secret transfer of nuclear tech to the Saudis and wanton disregard of security clearance protocols. THAT’s news.

[Matthew James @thrd_wrld]

@MSNBC Lol, one might think that in a democratic process, such a poll would have implications for present leadership, but y’know... Electoral College, tradition, a rationale under totally different circumstances centuries ago and all that...

[Matthew James @thrd_wrld]

@greta I was almost positive the tweet about a “terrifying” former CIA Director would have something to do with Grand Inquisitor Pompeo! But that’s why I read the tweets, @greta, for the otherwise unknowable perspectives!

[Matthew James @thrd_wrld]

@greta @countable I think that regardless of whether the Electoral College is eliminated, ANY party (not just a particular candidate) that thinks itself generally incapable of achieving a popular mandate should re-evaluate its core principles and long term viability.

[Matthew James @thrd_wrld]

@greta That’s really the “worst” hypocrisy? I guess we can put it in as an opening bid, but let’s see what the rest of the day’s news coverage brings to the table.

[Matthew James @thrd_wrld]

@greta Fair point. On the other hand, I didn’t even know Prague was an issue until then. @PreetBharara discussed the Cohen’s disclaimer though. I also note that Mueller dispelled a report Trump directed Cohen to lie to Congress, which is weird for a supposedly biased “witch hunt.”

Partner Steven Paul McSloy presented on “The American Indian as Irishman: The Lost Connection,” at the Consulate General of Ireland in New York City on June 12th, 2018. Steve’s presentation explored the history, similarities and conflicts between the Irish and Native Americans.

@MSNBC @maddow It’s right there in Nixon’s impeachment articles, who doesn’t know that? Lying to the nation about the investigation is in there too.
