'We have tried THREE times to bring up a vote on a resolution calling for the Mueller report to be made public. Republicans have blocked us each time. A four-page summary from AG Barr is insufficient. We must make the Mueller report public.'

'Government prosecutors revealed in a hearing this morning that Mueller’s grand jury is “continuing robustly” despite Mueller’s report being submitted to the DOJ.'

The easiest thing for Barr to do would be to publish the report. I wonder why he hasn't given a publication date?

If you pre-order the version advertised on Amazon you get an introduction by Alan Dershowitz and 960 pages. Smile

You have to hand it to Barr, them to read a thousand pages overnight and produce a summary. Grin

I haven’t posted much from North Korea in a while, but be assured they are still in a war-like froth. Here, they are spitting over US plans for bio-chemical warfare and the continued operation of joint military drills with South Korea. (Minju Joson via KCNA)

Minju Joson Blames U.S. for Its Bio-Chemical War Scenario against DPRK

Pyongyang, March 27 (KCNA) -- Shortly ago, it was disclosed that the U.S. continues to carry forward a scheme for bio-chemical war against the DPRK in south Korea while spending a huge amount of funds for it. It arouses great concern at home and abroad.

As known, the U.S. Defense Department worked out a "budgetary estimate of bio-chemical defense program for fiscal 2019" that witnesses 15.6 percent of year-on-year increase in the budget for "Jupiter Plan", a bio-chemical war scenario against the DPRK, 34.5 percent of the budget to be allotted to the U.S. forces-tied 8th Dock in Pusan Port housing a comprehensive bio-chemical weapon laboratory and related equipment.

Commenting on this, Minju Joson Wednesday says that the U.S. pushed ahead with the "Jupiter Plan" in the past, stunning the world, and spends a huge amount of money for the plan in a bid to reduce south Korea into a big proving ground for bio-chemical warfare and furthermore, inflict catastrophe upon the Korean nation.

The commentary says:

What merits a more serious attention is that the U.S. pushes forward the bio-chemical war scenario along with different types of war drills against the DPRK at a time when the situation of the Korean Peninsula enters the phase of reconciliation.

This shows that the U.S. remains unchanged in its black-hearted intention to strain the situation on the peninsula and stifle the DPRK by force. -0-

MALINOWSKI: Is Kim Jong Un responsible for maintaining North Korea’s system on labor camps?

POMPEO: He’s the leader of the country.

MALINOWSKI: Is he responsible for ordering the execution of his uncle and the assassination by chemical agent of his half-brother?

POMPEO: He’s the leader of the country.

Pompeo on NK and human rights.

I'm not sure I agree with the WP's slant on Pompeo's answers.

By saying he's the leader, isn't Pompeo making KJU responsible? It feels more like he's reluctant to contradict DJT directly (or in a way that DJT's brain would consider a contradiction).

I agree that answering with 'he's the leader' could be interpreted as a tacit way of agreeing that he is responsible.
Explicitly answering in the affirmative would be an insult to Trump and Trump is not sophisticated enough to realise that the answer is affirmative but only covertly so.
All smoke and mirrors gaslighting eccetera 🙄
