Further to the report linked by @Windthin here is the Guardian account of the massive devastation following what is being reported as likely to be the most deadliest ever cyclone in the southern hemisphere:

Whilst Idai was ranked at a lower category than many other cyclones the devastation it caused was not so much from its windspeed but from the rainfall it carried over a parched land.

Barr’s letter

3 Likes

I am hearing the claim Barr has said Trump can review the report and assert executive privilege in some parts. So far it just seems to be cable news speculation, though; when I asked the person who told me, they couldn’t give me a link. Mostly discussion. That letter leaves things more ambiguous. Interesting.

This story?

The White House waved their right to claim executive privilege when they agreed to cooperate with the investigation.

No, apparently current speculation on CNN, likely just reacting. Though my friend is often a bit behind me on seeing things, so it could be.

Apologies on not citing, I wasn’t sure if there was anything TO cite. When I did searches I didn’t find anything, but I am distracted today.

Three SDNY chiefs say Trump can be indicted Line crossed: Three SDNY chiefs say Trump can be indicted

I found this series of tweets by Seth Abramson a good summary of what it all means.

Marcie Wheeler has some thoughts via Twitter thread. Click tweet to see full thread. :point_down:

I think it’s safe to assume therory 1 until more evidence from the actual report presents itself. What do you all think?

I’ve seen some abject grief from people that the special counsel probably won’t issue any more indictments, like this is the end. It is so clearly not the end. It’s the beginning.

Definitely just the beginning. I think many don’t understand how that works.

On a lighter note, Trump put razor wire up at the border as a stupid PR stunt.

Residents of Tijuana are stealing it.

I can’t stop laughing at the idiocy.

While we were all distracted by Muller, Stephen Moore seems like the most terrifying news of the day. Guardian is pretty bleak. Any more background on this guy?

I know I read an opinion piece on him today, but now I can’t find it. The writer has been covering him since 1997 and had nothing good to say.

Found it

More on the whole “stealing materials meant for the wall” story.

Still hilarious.

Concertina wire installed by U.S. troops on the border is being stolen and sold for home security in Tijuana. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/border-wall-stolen-tijuana-home-security_n_5c9291bbe4b08c4fec33b5f4?ncid=engmodushpmg00000004 via @HuffPost

Pretty sure this still counts as securing the wall.

Well… a wall.
