With all the tweeting yesterday by Individual 1

Some claim something is up this week.

My question is does the pResident have advanced access to info regarding him and if so is this legal for him to get notified of impending legal action?

He shouldn't be, but he chose the AG based on that alone so I bet he is telling him everything.

at the daily Worship Trump meeting --Maybe he's soothing Trump so Mueller can sneak up on him!

eta: most likely Barr--altho he is besties with Mueller so it's difficult to say.

Also too: NY AG demanded multiple-million $ fine to settle tRump charity suit at the end of last week (we know his fortune is smoke and mirrors; he probably doesn't have the cash and wouldn't want to part with it if he did.). Maybe that set him off.

Barr made it publicly clear he is a Trumpie, when he was angling for the job.

One wrinkle I only recently became aware of: Barr and Mueller have been good friends for years, apparently. I dunno how that shakes out.

For bombshells they are working on.
This feels bigger, maybe Barr has gave him some inside info, IDK I'd like to think him being friends with Mueller would quash that.

if anyone in the Justice Dept is feeding him info. It wouldn't surprise me. His whole administration is corrupt and filled with unsavory grifters, who would do anything for personal advantage. He seems to have flipped out about media placing some blame on him for the Moslem massacre in NZ.

He has a very undisciplined mind and habitually reacts with anger, whenever something unpleasant is attributed to him. I no longer pay attention to anything that he says or does. His antics create chaos and outrage daily. Trump will not be POTUS forever, because nothing lasts forever. I'm confident that he will face justice for his crimes and answer for the harm he has caused. We have elected careful, serious Dems in the House, who are dutifully exercising oversignt. I have confidence in the Dem leadership to make the right choices going forward.

And responded to every story that offended him. He's way too thin-skinned for this job.
