thisfinecrew | Weekly Check In 31 March

Since the last check-in, Mueller has submitted his report to the Attorney General. Trump and his allies have declared total vindication based on Barr’s summary. I think we’re all pretty sure it isn’t that clear cut and that there’s plenty for various committees in Congress to pick over (and Mueller’s grand jury is still sitting). Plus I keep reminding myself Watergate took a long time to reach its conclusion.

In better news, a federal judge in Alaska has overturned Trump’s attempt to open parts of the Arctic and Atlantic to oil and gas leasing.

In the comm, we’ve had some great suggestions for action since the last check-in posts.
