[Monday-morning update, after the Barr letter was released on Sunday]
Glenn Reynolds has some links.
My brief thoughts: Both in refusing to properly administer the law in the case of the Clinton server to keep her campaign viable, and in concocting a false case against first a presidential candidate of the opposing party, and then the president, weaponizing all the legal and intelligence tools against him, this was the greatest abuse of federal power in American history. Those responsible, at the highest levels of government, even into the Obama White House, must be held to account, or the people will no longer be able to trust the most powerful institutions of the Republic. The continuous lies from the Democrats and the media about “Russian collusion” no doubt contributed to the loss of the House to the Democrats last year, if not caused it in and of themselves. Not only must those responsible for the abuse of power be held to legal account, but it would be just and fitting for this to result in a great victory against the Democrats in both the presidential and congressional races next year. It’s unfortunate that the Republicans would be the beneficiary of that, but sadly, we have no good choices in political parties, and haven’t in my lifetime.

Speaking of Glenn, his latest USA Today column: Collusion by the media, but don’t expect any apologies. And more at The Morning Brief.

This wasn’t just the biggest abuse of federal power in American history, but the biggest media failure in American history.
[Update at noon]
The real threat to the Republic: The Democrat Party. It always has been.
[Afternoon update]
No collusion, but the #Resistance is still yelling about it.
And Russiagate is WMD times a million.
The media should engage in a struggle session, but they won’t.
I’ll remember where I was when first I heard that the report had been released on Friday (Anza Borrego State Park, looking at a superbloom of wildflowers).
If you look carefully at the bottom shot, you’ll see a mountain sheep ram standing on top of the ridge (this was with my phone, kicking myself that we hadn’t taken a camera with a zoom lens).
I’ll also remember where I was when we heard the Barr letter being read on the radio yesterday: Looking at more wildflowers, including poppies, on a hillside north of Lake Elsinore (the crowds were apparently horrific down there in Walker Canyon, but this road was relatively empty).
The orange splash on the distant hillside in the top picture is the same kind of golden poppies (the California state flower) as the ones in the bottom picture, by the side of the road.
[Late afternoon update]
Bob Zimmerman isn’t impressed with Mueller, but sees signs of hope.
