As attorney general, William Barr once orchestrated a pardon strategy to spare the president from an independent prosecutor. Would he do it again? https://t.co/uFFJ4wgwzg

The Boojum Tree
In Korea, the border between the North and South is militarized. You, Mr. President, would call it "beautiful". Such fenced biotops harbor valuable samples of rare flora and fauna which you won't find in the rest of the world. But only in your border the Boojum tree will grow. pic.twitter.com/nFQYvUbd0I

Great Thoughts from the President of the USA
For what has become of the great USA and it greatest leader of all times, this Warren beer tweet is a truly presidential statement. That's all you can expect in these times. And the Republican president likes strong women. They desparately ask for his comments and advice. pic.twitter.com/8SWSmeSF8V

Is Trump an Russian Intelligence Asset?
The headline is stunning, and does not at all overstate the story https://t.co/Tl24jU94gw

And Republicans in Congress know all this — but they're covering for him anyway. Remember this whenever they claim to be more patriotic than liberals — or patriots at all https://t.co/jMWrW3Tps7

“FBI can’t neutralize a security threat if the president is the threat”
So many important and interesting pieces out there this morning. This one by @AshaRangappa_ is indispensable. https://t.co/fn7j89lpY8

But Mueller — and Congress — could pick up where counterintelligence hits its limits.
By Asha Rangappa [2019-01-13]
The FBI, according to the New York Times, opened a counterintelligence investigation into whether President Trump was secretly working on behalf of Russia after he fired former FBI director James B. Comey in 2017. As a former FBI agent who conducted investigations against foreign intelligence services, I know that the bureau would have had to possess strong evidence that Trump posed a national security threat to meet the threshold for opening such an investigation. But the more important question now is not how or why the case was opened, but whether it was ever closed. […]

Why Didn’t the Reps Use Their House Majority in 2017 or 2018?
=== Explanation please ===
The Steel Barrier, or Wall, could have been built by the Trump administration since 2017 or 2018. Why didn't the Republicans use their majority in the congress in 2017 or 2018 to get the 5.1 billion US$ for Trump's wall project?— Goetz Kluge (@Bonnetmaker) January 12, 2019
=== Explanation please ===
Can somebody explain to me, why the Republicans did not use their majority in the congress in 2017 or 2018 to get the 5.1 billion US$ for Trump's wall project?— Goetz Kluge (@Bonnetmaker) January 12, 2019
Trumps >5 billion $$ wall project is *designed* to be rejected by the Democrats. Trump and the GOP obviously don't want a wall. Otherwise they would have built it before the midterms. Instead, they need an agenda to keep their supporters angry at the Democrats until 2020.

Saudis Cozying up to Trump
By cozying up so much to Trump, Saudi Arabia makes itself a partisan lightning rod in the U.S. https://t.co/yS5CYycfZa

Frankly speaking, to me it looks like both sides are cozying up to each other.
