Daily Kos: AG William Barr, trying to quash Mueller testimony, offers him a way out
How desperate are Donald Trump and his attorney general to keep the American people from hearing the uncomfortable truths special counsel Robert Mueller will surely relay during his testimony next week before the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees? This is how desperate: On a visit to a federal prison in South Carolina, Attorney General William Barr took time out to send a public message to his old friend, “Bob.”
Barr is as leery of a “public spectacle” where Mueller pretty much destroys Barr’s own fanciful spin about the Russia report as his boss is. Mueller’s testimony, even if delivered in the understated fashion of a dutiful Boy Scout, is going to unmask Barr to millions as a slippery frontman for Trump—a new Michael Cohen-type “fixer” who just happens to be running the Justice Department. Mueller’s testimony is also certain to enrage Trump.
How could the Justice Department find a decent legal rationale to “back” Mueller’s potential refusal to comply with a congressional subpoena? Who cares? Barr doesn’t. He’ll make some unfounded, legally unprecedented claim, find some chump attorneys who share his personal lack of integrity to help him, and worry about defending that bogus rationale in some court down the road. Because that’s the way hatchet man Bill rolls. Of utmost importance is silencing Mueller, if at all possible. And killing the truth, of course—always killing the truth.

Any chance that in the photos they took from Epstein..

The American army defeated the British @ the Battle of Yorktown. Cornwallis of Yorktown
never existed. Charles Cornwallis, 1st Marquess Cornwallis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Cornwallis,_1st_Marquess_Cornwallis
2 things:
1) He is batcrap crazy.
2) I think somebody or somebodies are planting stupid things in his speeches on purpose.
During his tribute to the army, Trump said: “In June of 1775, the Continental Congress created a unified army out of the revolutionary forces encamped around Boston and New York … The Continental Army suffered a bitter winter of Valley Forge, found glory across the waters of the Delaware, and seized victory from Cornwallis of Yorktown.
“Our army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do, and at Fort McHenry, under the rockets’ red glare, it had nothing but victory.”
Loves me some Texas Lady (Bird)
Lady Bird was 60 years ahead of her time in the use of native plants/wildflowers.
Ann Richards, Lady Bird, Ms. Molly, and now Col. Kim so it is time for us men to get the hell out
of the way and let the ladies take over.
He really is batshit crazy: Trump wants to bring back WW II Sherman tanks for his parade.

New Sherman Tanks? Trump Brags Parade Will Feature Them, Though They Were Discontinued in 1957
According to the Washington Post’s Josh Dawsey, the President claimed, “And we’re gonna have some tanks stationed outside… So we have to put them in certain areas but we have the brand new Sherman tanks and we have the brand new Abram tanks.”
Greg Miller, also from the Post, pointed out that Trump was mistaken. He wrote on Twitter, “Trump says July 4 celebration will have “brand new Sherman tanks. Sherman tanks haven’t been in service since 1957.”

Trump is trying to fire all USDA scientists who work on climate change

Members of Congress representing many of the D.C.-based federal workers whose jobs are about to be reassigned or moved to the Midwest are running out of ways to try to stop the Trump administration from relocating those offices.
Democratic lawmakers have written a flurry of letters, bills and amendments in a race to block the measures before the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30, with little success.
Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue last month finalized plans to move about 550 jobs at two scientific agencies in the Agriculture Department from Southwest Washington to the greater Kansas City region.
In a separate move, the administration has threatened to furlough and possibly lay off 150 workers at the Office of Personnel Management, the federal workforce’s human resources agency, if Congress blocks the administration’s plans to eliminate the department.
