Rachel said tons of new news tonight. Has more guests than usual to explain it all. SHe is running thru a list of stuff and will go into it more with experts coming on in a bit.

Book shows new info that could indicate new legal liability for T and family for obstruction of justice.

Now going on to firing of US attys, Preet Bahrara, and lots more dirt on that. 17 new US attys appointed to take over fired US attys - today was their deadline to appoint US attys to replace the fired ones. Guliani's law partner replacing Preet in NY.

Head of FBI and Rosenstein in Ryan's office today with docs that Nunes had requested that he didn't get.

1. Am I not understanding correctly? Would not a Giuliani partner be a bad thing?

[Amaryllis]

2. Yes, a very bad thing.

[Amaryllis]

8. This teeters us between democracy and dictatorship

This is the biggest story of the day in my opinion. Republicans appear to have chosen dictatorship.

I expect this will speed up arrests in Mueller's investigation. The race is on and democracy and rule of law are in the balance.

9. Conflict Of Interest Much?

Well we have Schneiderman, so watch out boys. And maybe Bannon has something on the ghoul. And Preet will be watching.
