... not only that, he’s threatening treason charges on those who investigated him.

More violent extremism, fortunately stopped by a good intelligence operation. Another illustration that hate calls to hate.

Wohl is ridiculous.

I like the sound of this:

Wohl needs locking up. And his father is no better.

How can the Trump Org sue Deutsche Bank to stop them responding to Congressional subpoenas. Perhaps Deutsche can sue back on the grounds of being sued to stop them...

I get the feeling he and his family won't be borrowing from Deutsche Bank again no matter what. Now there has been this much fuss nobody in the bank will be able to slide such a loan through on the QT any more.

Forget the subpoenas, I'm serving Disney musicals.
(btw this has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that #Barr definitely looks exactly like Cogsworth the talking clock.)

EXPLOSIVE NEWS: Mueller says AG Barr misrepresented the “context, nature & substance” of his probe. What else is there? Barr is a total disgrace and a phony. He must now testify under
@RepJerryNadler
’s rules, then resign. Mueller must now testify as well. This is a new ballgame.

This is the WaPo source.

Nadler:

'Mueller has written a letter objecting to Barr’s summary of his report because it “did not fully capture the context, nature and substance of the investigation.” I have demanded the letter & Barr must answer for this. Mueller must be allowed to testify.'

'I note with interest AG Barr’s 4/10 Senate testimony. “Q: Did Bob Mueller support your conclusion? A: I don’t know whether Bob Mueller supported my conclusion.” Now it appears that Mueller objected in this 3/27 letter.'

Donald threatens Cuban troops over Twitter. Hopefully they’ll check their phones (and Twitter!) at some point, feel a bit ashamed of themselves and go home. This peace-making stuff is easy!

So he wasn’t saying the letter was inaccurate, but was worried about media coverage and whether his narrative would dictate it. Story of the whole investigation. We can read the report ... the rest is diva noise.
