@ThisIsMarlee I generally believe in not criticizing people for things they haven’t done yet. And the willingness to be fair increased my credibility to criticize him for things he ultimately did that warranted criticism. — PolitiTweet.org

@ThisIsMarlee I also, by the way, very much DO NOT regret giving Barr the “benefit of the doubt” on a specific matter. He made a promise. Giving him the benefit of the doubt for 2 weeks that he would keep his word on releasing the Mueller report cost nothing. https://t.co/03bdvc5gRr — PolitiTweet.org

@EliotGreenspan I have not followed the Gaetz case closely, but there are many possible answers to this question. Cases can fall apart or not materialize for a lot of different reasons. — PolitiTweet.org

@ThisIsMarlee …the judgment at the time that he was by far the best of the options at the time. I quickly came to regret that in important ways. But there are other ways in which I did not. And still don’t. — PolitiTweet.org
Russian Embassy in USA @benjaminwittes
@ThisIsMarlee So look, as I made clear when he was nominated, Barr would not be my choice for AG. (Garland, by the way, would; I believe I was the first person publicly to suggest the idea). But given Trump and the GOP Senate at the time and incumbent in the acting role, I made… — PolitiTweet.org

This is a good rule. I never say anything to or about @RichardGrenell on Twitter than I wouldn’t say in his presence. — PolitiTweet.org

@benjaminwittes I also have a personal rule: never say anything on social media that I wouldn't say to the person's face.

@ThisIsMarlee You clearly have not read my writings on Barr’s tenure. They are voluminous. If you have any questions after doing so, I would be happy to engage you on them. — PolitiTweet.org

imagine what the post-election period would have looked like with Matt Whitaker still in office? — PolitiTweet.org

to release the Mueller report. I actually don't regret either piece, though I do regret some of the nice things I said about him along the way. He was a disaster in most respects, but he was, in fact, better than the realistic alternatives, as he showed at the end. Can you ... — PolitiTweet.org
Russian Embassy in USA @benjaminwittes
Not running away from my record on Barr. I argued, at the time of his nomination, that he was better than any other nominee we were likely to get from Trump--and better than the acting menace then in office. And I argued that we should give him a couple of weeks... — PolitiTweet.org

@jallepap Ask me anything. I am totally game to engage on the subject of my past writings on Bill Barr. — PolitiTweet.org
Russian Embassy in USA @benjaminwittes
@a_cecil_fish @emptywheel By the way, @SeamusHughes has also been making this point over the last several months. And @ktbenner of the New York Times, while she does not express opinions, has repeatedly pointed out the myth of a slow-moving DOJ investigation too. — PolitiTweet.org
Russian Embassy in USA @benjaminwittes
@a_cecil_fish @emptywheel that people won't evaluate the investigation well if they don't look at the whole dataset and do so rigorously. — PolitiTweet.org
Russian Embassy in USA @benjaminwittes
@a_cecil_fish No prob. @emptywheel and I had an excellent discussion of this matter. We agree about a lot of things and disagree about some important ones. But on the key issue relevant to the current debate about the DOJ, while I don't want to speak for her, I think we both are arguing — PolitiTweet.org

Just FYI, I block 100 percent of people who troll me with my prior writings on Bill Barr. I am not ashamed of them at all. In fact, as a body of work, the totality of the corpus is one I am quite proud of. But I have no interest in engaging the "But you vouched for Barr" peeps. — PolitiTweet.org

...bothering to do. While I don't agree with a goodly number of the conclusions she is drawing from that work, I do emphatically agree with her that the work is necessary. And when you bother to do it in a serious way, the investigation looks very different from when you don't. — PolitiTweet.org
