MUELLER REPORT. Could be “weeks” before the Mueller Report is released, and then only after redactions made by the White House!
Graham says Barr told him it would likely take “weeks not months” to get a version of the Mueller report viewable by the public. Said they will pass through the WH to see if they want to make redactions under executive privilege.

ANDREW SULLIVAN. Conservative pundit jeered at Hollywood panel: ‘Moments later, the author and New York magazine columnist doubled down on his idea, saying: “Don’t tell them everything is good. That you deserve it and that you are all basically slaveholders under their skin blah, blah, blah, which is what Hollywood is saying to them every second of the day.” Those comments, which were met with audible gasps, set the stage for an immensely tense 20-minute panel which ended in Sullivan being shouted at by an audience member, prompting the moderator to step in and end the panel.

HRC Announces U.S. Senator Cory Booker Will Speak at the 2019 HRC Los Angeles Dinner
HRC announced that U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), one of the many pro-equality champions running for the White House in 2020, will speak at the 2019 HRC Los Angeles Dinner next Saturday, March 30, 2019. As previously announced, six-time Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Christina Aguilera with be honored with the HRC Ally for Equality Award at the event, and Emmy Award-winning actor, producer and LGBTQ advocate Yeardley Smith will be honored with the HRC National Leadership Award. Celebrated artists Betty Who and Shea Diamond will both perform, as well as comedian Dana Goldberg.
“Senator Cory Booker is a long-time friend and champion of our community whose leadership on LGBTQ rights and commitment to social justice has helped advance equality in New Jersey and across America,” said HRC President Chad Griffin. “As a lead co-sponsor of the Equality Act, which will extend crucial non-discrimination protections to millions of LGBTQ people across the country, Senator Booker has demonstrated a steadfast commitment to our community and we are honored to welcome him to one of our most crucial events of the year.”
Senator Booker is a champion of LGBTQ equality who has consistently earned a perfect 100 percent on the HRC Congressional Scorecard throughout his time in the Senate. A long-time friend and supporter of HRC, he gave a passionate speech to a crowd of over 3,000 at the 2012 HRC National Dinner in Washington, DC, and spoke at the HRC Greater NY Gala in 2013 and 2015. He is an outspoken advocate of the Equality Act — critically important, bipartisan legislation that would finally provide clear protections against discrimination for LGBTQ people from coast to coast. Sen. Booker joined with other pro-equality lawmakers this month to reintroduce the Equality Act in Congress. The measure has unprecedented support from nearly 70 percent of Americans, more than 280 members of Congress, 170 major businesses and 300 statewide and national organizations.

Chicago Mayor and Police Superintendent Slam Dismissal of Jussie Smollett Charges as ‘Whitewash of Justice’ — WATCH
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson slammed the dismissal of charges against Empire actor Jussie Smollett.
Said Johnson: “I think this city is still owed an apology. … I’ve heard that they wanted their day in court with TV cameras so American could know the truth but now they chose to hide behind secrecy and broker a deal to circumvent the judicial system.”
EARLIER: Prosecutors Drop All Charges Against ‘Empire’ Actor Jussie Smollett
Said Emanuel: “I’d like to remind everybody a grand jury indicted this individual based on only a piece of the evidence that the piece had collected. A grand jury actually brought the charges.”
“On financial costs the $10,000 doesn’t even come close” to what the city spent on this case.
Emanuel then spoke on the “ethical costs” as a congressman who was in office when the Matthew Shepard hate crimes law was passed.
“To use those laws and the prinicples and values behind [them] to self promote your career is a cost that comes to all the individuals – gay men and women who someday will come forward and say they were the victim of a hate crime and will now be doubted … and he did this all in the name of self promotion.”
Said Emanuel: “This is a whitewash of justice. A grand jury could not have been clearer. … Where is the accountability in the system? You cannot have because of a person’s position, one set of rules apply to them and another set of rules apply to everybody else.”
“Because of the judge’s decision none of the evidence will ever be made public – this is without doubt a whitewash of justice. … It is wrong. Full stop.”
“At the end of the day it’s Mr. Smollett who committed this false claim on two individuals and on the city,” added Emanuel.
“At the end of the day it’s Mr. Smollett who committed this hoax,” added Johnson.
“Mr. Smollett is still saying he is innocent,” Emanuel added. “Still running down the Chicago police department. How dare him! How dare him! … Still no sense of ownership of what he’s done. … This is a person now that has been let off scot-free with no sense of culpability of the moral and ethical wrong of his actions.”
