    Pelosi doing more to fight with members of her own party than she is doing to fight Trump. Status quo is preferable to actual change for the ruling class. Neolibs siding with fascists because of scary leftists is a tale as old as time. Pelosi needs to see the press along side the rest of them tbh

    Former members of Robert Mueller's special counsel team ordered not to testify to Congress
    Robert Mueller’s upcoming testimony before the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees is still scheduled for July 17, despite Attorney General William Barr’s offer to provide cover if the former special counsel decides he wants to join the ranks of those ignoring congressional subpoenas. But while Barr’s Justice Department isn’t overtly stopping Mueller—so far—the same can’t be said with regard to two other members of the special counsel team. Two former members of Mueller’s staff have been asked to speak with House committees. Barr has not just instructed them to ignore a congressional subpoena; he’s also telling them to go back on an agreement they’ve already made to appear.

    And what’s most amazing about all this is that Barr is issuing orders to two men who are no longer with the Justice Department. The attorney general is telling private citizens that they can’t talk to Congress.
    As The New York Times reports, former special counsel’s office attorneys Aaron Zebley and James Quarles have already reached an agreement to testify before the same two committees as Mueller. That agreement was made when Barr was still operating on the pretense that the White House didn’t care what Mueller or his team had to say. But as Barr’s rhetoric has moved from go ahead to full stop, the DOJ has declared its opposition to Zebley and Quarles speaking to Congress. That opposition has been expressed in direct instructions telling them not to show.

    Unlike Mueller, who will give back-to-back public testimony before both the Judiciary and Intelligence committees in addition to answering some questions behind closed doors, Zebley and Quarles are slated to do all their talking in private. Zebley was regarded as Mueller’s top assistant, and representatives are hoping that a private discussion with him could fill in details on areas of the investigation where Mueller has been reluctant to speak. Quarles is “a seasoned Washington legal hand.” So seasoned, in fact, that he was a Watergate prosecutor. Which seems like the kind of experience that would stop someone from being pushed around by the likes of William Barr.

    At the moment, the appearance of both men seems to be at least somewhat in doubt, as sources describe the situation as “in flux.”

    Throughout the investigation, Trump has made claims of transparency that are patently untrue. In many cases, members of his White House staff, transition team, or campaign team have refused to appear before Congress or claimed Fifth Amendment protection when meeting with the special counsel’s office. Trump has talked endlessly about the “millions of pages” of material sent to Mueller’s team, but has failed to mention that much of this was simply filler, while information that was requested was not provided.

    Both Trump and Barr have spoken in terms of “cooperation” while undertaking the greatest expansion of executive privilege in U.S. history. Trump has not only extended privilege to people not among his top advisers and documents that could not even remotely be considered advice given to the executive, but has clearly used that claim as a means of extending the cover-up. And there has been a repeated cycle of pretense in claiming that people are free to speak, then moving through various shades of “There’s no point in questioning them,” before arriving at an apparently inevitable declaration that Congress isn’t allowed to direct questions to Trump’s staffers.

    It might seem impossible that executive privilege might be extended so far as to cover men who never spoke to Trump on a topic of direct concern to Congress. But Barr has already demonstrated his willingness to exert privilege over the entire Mueller report—the equivalent of a suspect being allowed to hide all the evidence in his case. What steps Barr might take to prevent Zebley and Quarles from testifying is unclear. The DOJ has been utterly uninterested in seeking to enforce subpoenas produced by Congress. That doesn’t mean Barr won’t find the energy to block Congress from hearing the truth.

    story from June 10
    McConnell Is Blocking Any Plan to Prevent a Russian Election Attack in 2020
    By Jonathan Chait
    [​IMG]
    Photo: Win McNamee/Getty Images
    The House Judiciary Committee held hearings today on the Mueller report and its devastating findings of the Trump campaign efforts to collude with Russia, and Trump’s obstruction of justice thereof. The Republican message, articulated by ranking member Doug Collins, is that this is all in the distant past — the Mueller report came out in early spring; it’s already late spring — and we should focus on the future. “We’re not bringing Russians front and center,” he complained. “If we were attacked, then the priorities should be to go on the battlefields and not to the sideshow.”

    Funny thing about that: There actually are a lot of bills to safeguard the 2020 elections from the next Russian attack. Mitch McConnell is blocking all of them.
    The New York Times reported a few days ago that McConnell is refusing to bring to a vote any bill to safeguard the elections from foreign attack. There’s a Democratic bill to provide election funding to state and local governments. There’s a bipartisan Senate bill to “codify cyberinformation-sharing initiatives between federal intelligence services and state election officials, speed up the granting of security clearances to state officials, and provide federal incentives for states to adopt paper ballots.” McConnell won’t allow any of them to come to a vote.

    The threat from Russian election interference is actually quite severe. Russian intelligence breached at least one Florida county computer system and planted malware in a manufacturer of vote-tabulating machines, according to the Mueller report. While the probability that Russian hackers could actually change the outcome of the next election is low, the consequences would be extraordinarily high — especially if they do so by actual vote-rigging rather than mere information warfare.

    Exactly why McConnell is so blasé about this threat is impossible to say, but the next time McConnell takes some action that sacrifices his partisan interests for the greater good will be the first.

    Of course, Collins’s whole notion that guarding against the next Russian political operation requires halting all investigation of the last one is obviously disingenuous in the first place. The Mueller report shows in detail that Trump and almost everybody working for him welcomed Russian help, legal or otherwise. The reason the government isn’t doing more to protect our democracy from the next attack is that the people who cooperated with the last attack don’t want to.
