Can someone explain what exactly is in it all for Bill Barr? He is (allegedly) a Dominionist and wants to reshape the US based on Christianity. So basically, his goal is maintaining power for Conservative Christians. Obviously Trump is not religious, but they see him as a means to an end.

A quick search of Bill Barr and Dominionism will turn up a few articles (some biased, others not). From a brief article on The Daily Beast:

I will add that I think his law firm also represents some of the Russians that 45 does business with. Iโll see if I can find the source I read that from

So essentially he ( Barr) wants a conservative Christian version of Sharia law. Great.

Compass Rose is representing a second whistleblower, and this person may not be the person referenced in the NYT yesterday. There might be 3 WB. BREAKING: Attorney representing whistleblower who sounded the alarm on Pres. Trumpโs dealings with Ukraine tells @abc News he is now representing a second whistleblower who has first-hand knowledge of events. t.co/BTUj2i9ocm

Does the rule you can't impugn your congressional colleagues only apply to being on the floor at the Capitol? (Is that only a rule in the Senate?)
Because Scalise tweeted out that Schiff is a "proven liar."

IC WHISTLEBLOWER UPDATE: I can confirm that my firm and my team represent multiple whistleblowers in connection to the underlying August 12, 2019, disclosure to the Intelligence Community Inspector General. No further comment at this time.

Democrats really need to stop with trying to overexplain the quid pro quo. The public that doesnโt want to understand isnโt going to change their minds
