You presume any action outside of a near meaningless executive order will get off the ground.

I'll make another bold prediction. This is Trump huffpuff and Twitter won't be going anywhere.

Agreed. Politics is half PT Barnum these days anyway - politicians don't mean half the things they say.

If you think Trump suddenly decided he wanted to make a big deal of this and hasn't been working with Barr and GOP to draft legislation from day one (of Barr's tenure) you've not been paying attention.

You can continue to believe Trump is unpredictable when almost everything he does is signaled far in advance.

I hear trump doing a bunch of outlandish tweets, then suddenly this hits, seems like it was planned.
