While Republicans are having a public orgy of gloating (which we will not forget, when payback time comes), the responsible media are crying foul. Here are a few examples:
In the Washington Post, Phillip Bump, under the headline What we still don’t know about the Mueller probe, lists several questions that must be answered. The most disturbing of these questions is: Why have the people around Trump constantly lied? What are they covering up?
“Why did so many people lie about what happened? A campaign adviser, Trump’s personal attorney, his national security adviser, his former campaign manager, his former deputy campaign manager — all admitted to misleading investigators.”
Slate has several pieces this morning:
William Barr Did What Donald Trump Hired Him to Do
William Barr Can’t Exonerate Donald Trump
At the Atlantic, Barr’s Startling and Unseemly Haste.
At the New Republic:
Yes, Trump Obstructed Justice. And William Barr Is Helping Him Cover It Up
History Will Damn Donald Trump
My view remains unchanged: Not only will history damn Donald Trump, history also will damn the Republican Party. As difficult as it is for us, now that the Trump’s attorney general has joined the cover-up, we must wait for Congress to do the job.
We didn’t learn much yesterday, except for this: The corruption of the Republican Party is bottomless. And there is a lot of stuff that they desperately don’t want us to know.

Being an European, I’ll abstain from political comments – just share my wonder over they all look like stuffed sausages.
Do Republicans equal overweight ??
Hi Frigast… It’s complicated! And there are the usual problems with correlations vs. causation. However, it does seem to be true that Republicans are at least somewhat more likely to be obese:
