Barr Blinks
Well, it appears that Mr. Barr, the Attorney General Trump’s lawyer, has decided that there’s a limit to the contempt he’s willing to hold.
The Justice Department is trying to stave off an “enforcement action” against Attorney General William Barr this week, making a rare offer to have the House Intelligence Committee review materials from special counsel Robert Mueller’s report if House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff agrees to back down.
So the Senate committee gets to see the materials from the Mueller report.
Chairman Schiff agreed to back-off the contempt citation if he gets what he wants.
Dude, Trump’s gonna flip.
Thanks to SGray for the heads up.
Maybe Bill received a from beyond the grave text from John Mitchell.

Courier the whole mess by the end of business today, because until we see it, we won’t believe it. We know why you were hired… whore!

3Yes, the ghosts of Watergate past will haunt Trump today, tomorrow, and we can only hope, beyond.
I don’t know if there is a statue of limitations on lying to Congress, but he’s already on the hook for the FBI arresting foreign leaders lies to Congress. It’s either if or when, and this White House understands things when forced…
