Premature Exoneration. Heh heh.

That's what Trump is experiencing.

The jokes write themselves.

Rosenstein needs to be called in to Congress ..

... to tell how he collaborated (or not) with the review and summary of the report alongside Barr.

Barr is invoking him so as to lend an air of impartiality.

And so Congress must verify just what Rosenstein has to say about that assertion of Barr's.

On what basis does Trump call the investigation ILLEGAL?

If it's illegal, then it must be null and void....and a new investigation ordered?

I wonder if Manafort has seen the photos of Mar-a-Lago celebrations last night.

HE is the one paying with the remainder of his days

for the NO INDICTMENTS of Trump, Jr., Jared, Ivanka, et al.

Frank Figliuzzi today: Trump invokes sovereign citizen wacko stuff "People won't allow it"

Frank said today that the "Investigator wasn't elected" "People won't allow it" is teeing up the nut job Sovereign Citizen that does not accept legitimacy of the government.

Think Ruby Ridge.

Ken Dilanian blocked me from his twitter.


Oy.

Because, I assume, I stated that he has been reportedly the one giving NBC the bad and breathless information that the Mueller report is imminent and pointed to Preet and Seth Abramson for better information.

Nicole Wallace said today that they have dropped the word "imminent" and replaced it with "looming" on NBC.

I have queried his attorney a few times, and received no response. 2/


Also not heard back from his attorney if Nader intends to cooperate with the House Judiciary Committee probe 3/


As previously noted, a different attorney from the same firm as Nader’s attorney is reportedly representing Broidy in related matters


Source thought that odd, since one might have thought Nader was revealing information in his cooperation that could legally affect Broidy


(Broidy’s attorney also did not respond to a query. )
