1) The full William Barr interview with NBC is now online, and it's much worse than we thought.

There's a very serious deception at the core of Barr's effort to validate Trump's lies that is more dangerous than it first appears.https://t.co/SPZbDtx7zw

.@SenBlumenthal says he wants to hear Justice Dept. inspector general Michael Horowitz rebut AG Barr. “What the attorney general seems to be doing is simply festering and supporting the right-wing conspiracy theories about this Russia investigation.” https://t.co/BGSgJqnBcR pic.twitter.com/n5rV3eamue

"The attorney general of the United States is a Fox News bot," says Jeffrey Toobin. …He "keeps demanding investigation after investigation until he gets the results that he wants? That's something that happens in the Soviet Union not in the United States." pic.twitter.com/P0bPUcWKU4

I encourage everyone to read Bill Barr’s viciously partisan speech to @FedSoc.

Its hackery and intellectual dishonesty is an utter embarrassment to the DOJ, @FedSoc, and to all of us (yes, me, too) who try to be intellectually honest about textualism & original public meaning. https://t.co/OES7UIfjha

In case you were wondering just how partisan is William Barr, give this a read. Pay special attention to his argument that the Senate has undermined the president by abusing its advise and consent power. Spoiler: He is not talking about Merrick Garland. https://t.co/g9XEWxSs16
