This DOJ criminal probe is going nowhere. Hundreds of pages of findings by Mueller, dozens of indictments AND the GOP-led Senate Intel Committee report have all established that Russia did this. So where is this probe going? Barr has nothing. Still, need to watch him like a hawk. pic.twitter.com/jkuX8L5So2

I'm biased, but I think this @talkingfedspod I hosted a few weeks ago with @ktbenner @DevlinBarrett @evanperez is the most insightful thing you'll find on Barr and what he's up to with his "origins" probe (insightful because of the guests, not the host). https://t.co/Kz4bwGq9lG
