Odd News: William Barr, Attorney General, IS NOT in Washington tonight

He's not even on the East Coast, nor in the United States tonight.




First on @ABC: AG Barr has been on official travel in Italy for the past two days, during a week where he has faced intensifying scrutiny over his role in how the DOJ handled the IC's whistleblower complaint. It's unclear why the trip was only just revealed. w/ @jonkarl

He'd be leaving tRump and Pence to twist in the wind, exposed to the the full brunt of the democratic committees.

I don't even care how that would happen, but I can only hope he doesn't or cannot return.

Can't find anything more, since there's no press apparatus.

Do you have to look away
when you pass by the diner
where the squad car stops for coffee?

Don't you wish
that you were any place else but here?
