If only footnote 3 were as encouraging as @BarbMcQuade suggests, things would be less bleak. I did read that footnote closely before tweeting my discouraging (though not hopeless) take yesterday. — PolitiTweet.org

Nah, read footnote 3 — courts may order disclosure of grand jury material to Congress under Rule 6(e). https://t.co/seyZkn9lWd

I think Akhil Amar is closer to the historical truth than @seanwilentz, but the most important point — that a National Popular Vote would be far better for America than than the crazy Electoral College — doesn’t depend on resolving that dispute. https://t.co/Y5n1S3whJd — PolitiTweet.org

The April 5 DC Circuit ruling narrowly reading the exceptions to Rule 6(e) on grand jury secrecy heightens the need to call Mueller to testify. He can be trusted to describe his findings without ever disclosing a “grand jury matter,” meaning grand jury testimony or exhibits. — PolitiTweet.org

Judge Srinivasan wrote a powerful dissent, the public need for the full Mueller report is vastly greater than this historian’s case for disclosing grand jury material, and a narrow definition of what constitutes such material may prevail, but still . . . https://t.co/Lp9tKqJkP2 — PolitiTweet.org

This split DC Circuit decision (4/5/19) doesn’t bode well for getting a court to authorize release of 6e grand jury material in the Mueller report to the House. There’s a circuit conflict, but I wouldn’t expect this Supreme Court to reverse CADC here. https://t.co/Lp9tKqJkP2 — PolitiTweet.org

The case for a National Popular Vote is compelling without dubiously continuing to trace the Electoral College mostly to slavery — as @seanwilentz concedes in his admirable corrective history https://t.co/HSx8yZUmPf — PolitiTweet.org

Trump claims courts can’t look at the motives behind his immigration and census actions but says a House Committee’s supposed motives for seeking his tax returns pursuant to §6103 of the Tax Code should prevent a court from enforcing the law. Absurd! https://t.co/vQ8tqTcnZT — PolitiTweet.org

The Justice Collaborative @Justice_Collab has a promising blueprint for reform that recognizes “Law enforcement is not the only, or even the most important, answer to addressing cycles of violence.” @GalvinAlmanza @chrislhayes @AriMelber @MaddowBlog. https://t.co/JfwqFXM5Vn — PolitiTweet.org

.@GalvinAlmanza is right that felon disenfranchisement makes no sense. Her insights about criminal justice are part of her humane and empirically grounded outlook on society. I’ve decided to follow her tweets. — PolitiTweet.org

This @ThePlumLineGS piece is the best summary out there of just how horribly Barr’s public statements have evidently mangled and suppressed what Mueller actually found in his office’s extensive 22-month investigation https://t.co/d9JhJ7JB7D — PolitiTweet.org
