WASHINGTON — After nearly two years of waiting, America is about to get some answers straight from Robert Mueller — but not before President Donald Trump’s attorney general has his say. Attorney General William Barr says he will allow Congress to view special counsel Robert Mueller’s report with nothing redacted other than grand jury information. Barr says three other categories of information also were redacted in the publicly released report, including information pertaining to ongoing prosecutions and sensitive intelligence sources and methods. Barr says he hopes that giving Congress access to the less redacted report and his upcoming testimony on Capitol Hill “will satisfy any need Congress has for information regarding the special counsel’s investigation.” Barr also says President Donald Trump did not exert executive privilege over any information included in Mueller’s report. He said the White House counsel reviewed a redacted version of the report before Trump decided not to invoke executive privilege.

  • Oklahoma Is Finally Trying to Cut Prison Time for Abused Moms
    Mother Jones, Friday - 04/26/2024 - 04:39 PM

    A year and a half after Mother Jones exposed how Oklahoma courts were imprisoning mothers for longer than their abusers, state lawmakers passed a bill that could allow some of those mothers’ sentences to be shortened. But this week, Gov. Kevin Stitt vetoed the legislation.

  • Jamie Raskin: Move Supreme Court Over To RNC Headquarters
    Crooks and Liars, Friday - 04/26/2024 - 08:08 AM

    Jamie Raskin hilariously suggested that the RNC headquarters could host the Supreme Court after wingnut justices appeared open to recognizing some form of presidential immunity yesterday. Via HuffPost: Host Joy Reid, who noted that Trump’s federal election interference case could be remanded back to the D. C. Circuit Court of Appeals and thus further delay the trial past Election Day, called the Supreme Court majority “so clearly politicians” before looping in Raskin. “Well, they’re politicians who are not even subject to popular election unlike me.
