I just published this op-ed with the brilliant Andrew Weissmann (weissmann11 on Threads)🌻

In his confirmation hearing, Barr testified DOJ should never do it

The White House said Comey was fired for it

DOJ policies and protocols disallow it

Now Barr looks set to do it.

2. We include a nugget from Weissmann's forthcoming book.

The Mueller team knew they could not indict Russian officials in run up to 2018 midterms.

The upshot: It shows the broad scope of the DOJ protocol, contradicting how Barr has recently described it.
