6. Barr is eagerly helping the traitor:

In making the request, Mr. Trump was in effect asking the Australian government to investigate itself. The F.B.I.’s counterintelligence investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election began after Australian officials told the bureau that the Russian government had made overtures to the Trump campaign about releasing political damaging information about Hillary Clinton.

Australian officials shared that information after its top official in Britain met in London in May 2016 with George Papadopoulos, a Trump campaign foreign policy adviser who told the Australian about the Russian dirt on Mrs. Clinton.

Mr. Papadopoulos also said that he had heard that the Russians had “thousands” of Mrs. Clinton’s emails from Joseph Mifsud, an academic. Mr. Mifsud, who was last seen working as a visiting professor in Rome, has disappeared. Trump allies, like the president’s personal lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani, have put forth an unsubstantiated claim that Western intelligence agencies planted Mr. Mifsud to trap Mr. Papadopoulos.

Mr. Barr flew to Italy last week and met with Italian government officials on Friday. The Justice Department spokeswoman would not say whether he discussed the election inquiry in those meetings, but former Justice Department officials said that Mr. Barr would need to ask foreign countries for cooperation in turning over documents pertaining to the 2016 election.

10. Come on Nancy, let's get Barr too.

12. Remember

Barr found out about the whistleblower complaint in early August and he was SO upset by it that he booked a $30,000 party at the Trump DC hotel in late August.

That's per Joyce Vance this morning or yesterday.

7. Trump should quit while he's ahead

The charges are racking up exponentially

[sunonmars]

9. I wonder when the lightbulb actually goes on that he has walked in front of the GOP firing squad

He just has not realised, he is in and they have locked the doors.

8. Just to be clear, we're all still supposed to cancel our Times subscriptions?

11. There are two types of world leaders according to Trump. The good ones that agree to help

make him look good or help pursue his personal vendettas, or the bad ones who are no help to him at all.

[sunonmars]

15. Everything not him is shit to him, worthless. Psychopathic narcissism.

[ecstatic]

13. Every time I tune back in to the news, I'm completely overwhelmed.

This is WAY too much information and way too many crimes to process.

For the good of the country, trump and his entire administration need to resign NOW so the lawbreaking can cease and the House can continue its investigation in peace.

14. Barr, whose father hired Jeffrey Epstein at the prep school Barr?

Hunh. Small world.
