'Whistleblower protections?' 'They'll be able to say what they have to say.'

Authority over a.g? 'Budget of DOJ.'

Worried about independence of DOJ/SDNY, which is why investigating.

2. I'm sooooo relieved to hear he's investigating Barr's latest actions

I don't give a damn if the GOP continues to stonewall or if the election is next week: I want every illegal thing trump and his henchmen do to be fully investigated. Each and every time. No exceptions.

3. So, if barr won't comply with a subpoena

Congress can take away his budget. Good - he’s been living out his authoritarian fantasies at taxpayer expense, and running the DOJ into the dirt to prop-up the occupant of the WH.

Oh, yes, I will be here on DU watching/commenting the hearing on Wednesday.

4. Ditto (unless on early; call and wake me???)

[Mersky]

5. Wake you? You mean you'll be able to sleep?

6. Mebbe!

I'm a night owl, so usually depends on what 'entertainment' is available!

7. Congressman Nadler

he looked very worn out. Didn't anyone else think the same? Too much stress on these congressmen who are trying to hold these thugs accountable.
