“We need to make sure that the entire report is made public and then we can debate the facts,” said Rep. Adam B. Schiff, the Burbank Democrat who heads the House Intelligence Committee.
In a recent meeting with Trump and senior officials, Barr pleaded for a more narrow legal strategy. He argued that a lower court judge’s ruling declaring the healthcare law unconstitutional was flawed and unlikely to stand on appeal, according to an administration official with knowledge of the meeting. Until this week, for months the administration had made the narrower case, that only parts of the law were unconstitutional.
. Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican and Trump confidant, said he made the same case to the president over the weekend when they played golf in Florida.The decision was such a surprise to Trump’s staff that the Justice Department memo to the appeals court, filed late Monday, was two sentences long.
His tweet was widely assumed to refer to sanctions Mnuchin imposed a day earlier — and announced with fanfare. National security advisor John Bolton also had publicly promoted the new sanctions. National security officials declined to discuss the matter on the record, and Treasury officials, who oversee sanctions, did not respond to several requests for an explanation.

Vive le Trump!
Here’s another chance for the Democrats to attack the Republican platform, health insurance. Don’t let up, knock them out.
We the People like Winning!
He will go after healthcare and win where John McCain, Paul Ryan, and Mitt Romney lost.
But are losing ground everyday from what they had before the report....
Isn’t it enough that he denied there had been Russian interference after FBI established there had been? Or that his son & campaign staff took a meeting with Russians hoping to benefit from illegal hacking? And didn’t report it? And that Trump JNR was helped to lie by his Daddy.
Or maybe it’s time to investigate Hillary?
“Improvisational”
Don’t believe it. Trump has not been exonerated of obstruction. We can’t believe Barr without seeing the full report. Hiding the report means there is guilt they are hiding
Let him swagger, a lot
DOES NOT EXONERATE
“Improvisational” president = far, far too generous. White nationalist narcissist shades a tad closer to the truth.
Trump thinks he has a 'new lease.' But you can't rent character.
