😳 In a somewhat odd moment at tonight's AFT town hall, Biden tells a 10-year-old girl, “I’ll bet you’re as bright as you are good-looking." He takes her over to the assembled reporters, then stands behind her and puts his hands on her shoulders while he's talking. I swear I'll vote for him if he's the Democratic nominee, but FFS, Joe. Have you learned NOTHING??

Oh I bet he's going to address the Michael Wolf allegation that he drafted a Trump indictment

I think he will state why he does not want to testify publicly, and somehow urge the partisan fuckery to stop.
Mueller is old school, I'd love to see him throw Barr under the bus, but, he is not that guy.

Guess not. A person familiar with the matter tells me Special Counsel Mueller will deliver a “substantial” statement at 11 a.m. today, and the statement is NOT a response to reporting about claims in Michael Wolff’s soon-to-be released book. t.co/FYulnotgoW

I plan to be at the gym, jogging while watching Mueller at 11am. Hopefully he makes it worth my while. Regardless, I am sure he will be better viewing than The View.

He deserves the opportunity to stand by his work publicly and hopefully this is that time for him.

You know, I don't think I've ever heard Mueller speak before. I have no idea what his voice sounds like.

I mean I could die happy if Robert Mueller stood behind a DOJ podium and his entire statement was "William Barr is a stinky head and by the way ITS ALL IN THE REPORT, 45 is a criminal, you people need to go back to school and learn critical thinking skills. Thank you and good day"

Barr who for some unknown reason is in alaska (maybe he is interviewing for school security positions with Betsy) was told ahead of time of the statement.
The GOP was not notified.

House Judiciary seems to have been notified as well.

the White House has 'agreed' to wait until later today to release a statement.
yeah ok
45 is probably FROTHING at the mouth and wanting to bust out into the rose garden with some fake proclamation.
