Fat Donnie will attend, incognito, and have someone take the final exam for him.

And the Arizona Senate will audit the course.

I hope he tells the students more than he told Congress.

Otherwise, it could just be a one-day brown bag lunch talk.

You can either go to class, study the materials and take the final exam or you can get a note from Bill Barr.

If there was ever a law course I’d want to edit it’s this one…though, no one should expect any real news to come out of this, at the most they will talk about how investigations can run into interference and how they should be separated from those being investigated. We know all that.

Wonder how much latitude Dean Barr will allow?

You know…it takes one disgrace of a President to have law courses taught about him mere weeks after leaving office.

And this course isn’t even about his impeachments -either of them!

This is sort of strange in that we still haven’t seen the full Mueller report. Aren’t portions of it still redacted?

Student question: “in light of the release of the Justice Department memo by Judge Amy Berman Jackson, to what extent did you feel you needed to make a decision on whether obstruction could be prosecuted?”

Mueller: “let me find the relevant section of the report that might possibly be relevant to that question, and read from it in as dry and monotone voice as possible. Are you asleep yet?”

On the one hand, there’s exposing an evil madman.

On the other hand, there’s being a coward and not offending anyone in the evil madman’s party.

I think so…I suspect some of it will remain redacted for a very long time, simply because of the confidential sources that may be revealed. Not sure if the report is at that point or not yet, it’s pretty much dropped off the radar.

The textbook will be 40% redacted. The Cliff Notes version will consist of two pages saying “Nothing to see here, move along.”
