Well said.

Journalist and Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd is known for his cool-headedness, but in reacting to reports that the Department of Justice discussed the just-released Mueller Report with the White House, he got uncharacteristically heated.

Todd was responding to a New York Times report which read:


"Justice Department officials have had numerous conversations with White House lawyers about the conclusions made by Mr. Mueller"

This didn't sit well with Todd, who pointed out that the President learning the report's contents before the public or even Congress has seen a single full sentence from the report is "actual collusion."

Watch below:

Todd said:

"In case you’re wondering what does collusion look like, it looks like the attorney general’s lawyers briefing the president before Congress or the public."

He also pointed out the double standard applied to Trump's administration in contrast to former President Barack Obama's, who faced immense scrutiny from a Republican Congress during the last six years of his presidency for far less insidious behavior.

"Where are all of these House Republicans now that were so up in arms about the president talking about Hillary Clinton’s emails when what you have here, the attorney general briefing the president of the United States on a case that involves the president of the United States. What is the difference?Straight-up politics."

Many on Twitter seemed to agree.

The handling of the report's release, by some standards, has been completely bungled, as has Barr's press conference pre-butting it.

Many are criticizing Attorney General William Barr, who replaced Acting AG Matt Whitaker after the first AG—Jeff Sessions—recused himself.

Some believe that Barr's hesitation to release the report, instead writing a four page summary of the 400 page document,  indicates that he's trying to protect the President.

If the four page summary misrepresented or dismissed the actual findings of the report, Barr could face repercussions.

The Attorney General will be holding a press conference at 9:30 am, despite the report's release not being expected until this afternoon.

Woman Goes Viral After Cramming Carry-On Luggage Into Size Checker To Prove It Fits

Let's be honest: traveling, and particularly flying, is very expensive these days, and it's important to save money wherever you can. A key way to save money is to book a cheaper class on the flight, and to only take a carry-on, rather than checking a bag, if you're able to.

TikToker @summermken_official shared a video of a woman who was willing to commit to that while in Paris. She approached a size-checking station for Vueling Airlines with a sign that read, "Does your cabin luggage fit here?" It was a metal frame in the shape of a rectangle, emulating the largest size that a piece of carry-on luggage could be.

Pilot Reveals What Actually Happens If You Don't Switch Your Phone To Airplane Mode

If you've ever taken a flight, you might have wondered what the big deal was about switching your phone to "airplane mode" before the airplane took off—and if you didn't, if you could really be responsible for that giant, metal bird falling out of the sky.

According to pilot and TikToker @pilotperch, you indeed will not cause the airplane to fall out of the sky, or for the machinery of the aircraft to warp and malfunction, but your phone not being in airplane mode could still cause problems for the pilot, their copilot, and their dispatch team on the ground.
