FYI: We Can Thank George W. Bush For Erik Prince
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said Tuesday he would make a criminal referral to the Justice Department for Erik Prince based on “strong evidence” that the Trump ally lied to Congress in 2017.
Schiff also said he believes Prince, the billionaire founder of a military contracting firm, misled the House Intelligence Committee by denying he was attempting to establish a back channel between Russia and Trump during the president’s transition.

Trump Is Suing Everyone!
President Donald Trump and his family are suing Deutsche Bank and Capital One to block subpoenas issued by House Democrats seeking Trump’s financial records.
In the federal lawsuit filed Monday in New York, Trump’s lawyers argued that the subpoenas serve “no legitimate or lawful purpose.”

Me: You quoted Donald Trump on respecting the rule of law. Seriously?
RR: It was a good quote.
Me: Do you think he believed it?
RR: [Pause]
Me: Do you?
RR: Those were good words. - David Corn, Mother Jones
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is resigning, but Democrats are already talking about calling him to testify before the House Judiciary Committee.
Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA) said on MSNBC’s The Beat With Ari Melber, “Well, it’s very interesting. I think that he was very disappointing, especially the way that he handled things at the end with Barr standing behind him as he had the press conference. So it will be interesting to see whether he comes before our committee and what he has to say now that he will not be an employee of the Department of Justice.”
Rod Rosenstein is the colonel from Bridge on the River Kwai, only without the bridge. - David Frum
