Patrons of the 'The Bird' bar in Washington DC can now order a new cocktail called a 'Moscow Mueller,' a politically-influened twist on the popular Moscow Mule, in honor of the first indictments in the investigation of ties between Russia and the Trump presidential campaign. The Bird will sell the Moscow Mueller for the special price of $5 every time Special Council Mueller indicts someone in relation to the investigation of links between the Trump election campaign and Russia.
On Sunday, Sen. Mitt Romney slammed Pres. Donald Trump. Romney was upset that Pres. Trump shifted the blame for the SolarWinds hack from Russia to China. Trump said "it may be China" that's responsible for the massive attack on US companies and government agencies, without citing evidence. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Friday that Russia was to blame. Romney told NBC News Sunday he was "disappointed" with Trump's remark. "I think we've come to recognize that the president has a blind spot when it comes to Russia," he said.
Rather unsurprisingly, President Donald Trump announced Monday that Attorney General William Barr is to depart the Justice Department before Christmas. According to Business Insider, the AG fell out of Trump's good graces when he failed to produce quality opposition research to use before the election. Things got even worse when Barr publicly made comments flying in the face of Trump's conspiracy theory about the election having been 'stolen' from him. During his tenure, Barr was described by some legal scholars as acting more like the president's personal defense lawyer than the US's chief law enforcement officer. Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen will become Acting Attorney General. Richard Donoghue will be taking over the duties of Deputy Attorney General.
