Brian Cates (@DrawAndStrike) has been quite good as a resource throughout these past couple years. His threads almost always deliver.

You're accepting or not accepting something does not change what Barr testified to under oath.

I want to be crystal clear about that.

He still said what he said.

Understand what you just read here: Harris demanded to know from Barr if Rosenstein had been cleared by the DOJ ethics department to be both a witness in Mueller-report-related cases and the overseer of those cases.

She fully anticipated Barr looking confused and either saying he had no idea if Rosenstein’s dual role and the direct conflict of interest it implied had ever been addressed by the DOJ ethics department or that he would come out and say “no.”

Barr answered–much to Senator Harris’ obvious surprise—that Rosenstein had been cleared for this dual role when he was appointed.

Far less than 50%.

Rosenstein was sent in as an informant. His job was to collect information and supply the Mueller people with everything they requested. Had Sessions tried, they wouldn't have trusted him. With one of their own, remember Rosenstein offered to wear a wire, they figured they were in the clear and made mistakes....
