Re: Doesn’t Matter Who Wins the K Race; We’re All the Same
A very small detail, but one that I find hugely problematic: Trump's personal lawyer, Jay Sekulow, says that he saw the Mueller report on Tuesday afternoon. I think there's a case to be made that DOJ can share the report with the White House (and before Congress sees it), because constitutionally, the Attorney General serves the President. But Sekulow serves Trump personally, not the President. Government officials should not be privileging private parties, even high-ranking government officials, particularly when they are denying access to Congress. If Sekulow saw the report -- and for that I'm relying on Jonathan Swan at Axios, who says that Sekulow told him he did -- then there is no excuse for withholding it from Congress.
