This is getting so, so, deliciously good.
Also, Rep. Doug Collins is saying he's already seen the "less-redacted" Mueller Report
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/apr/22/doug-collins-top-republican-judiciary-panel-views-/
The highest-ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee viewed a less-redacted copy of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report at the Justice Department on Monday.
Rep. Doug Collins of Georgia is among the first lawmakers to view the more complete report. It is not known if other lawmakers have viewed the report or intend to do so later this week.
Mr. Collins said the section on whether President Trump attempted to obstruct justice only included four redactions.
Last week, the Justice Department offered key members of Congress an opportunity to view the less-redacted report but insisted the information must remain secret.
The department will permit members of Congress to stop by and view the report from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. each day this week.
Lawmakers were required to view the document at a special secure room at the Justice Department, and they cannot take materials out. They can take notes, but those notes must remain confidential, the Justice Department said.
The so-called Gang of Eight — the top leaders for each party as well as the top Democrat and Republican on the House and Senate intelligence committees — were permitted to see the report. The top members of the House and Senate Judiciary committees were also invited.
Democrats have refused to look at the less-redacted version because they want to see the 448-page in its entirety, including confidential grand jury material.
On Monday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent a letter to Mr. Barr flatly rejecting his offer. She argued that by withholding the entire report, the Justice Department is impeding Congress’s ability to exercise its constitutional authority.
“Your proposed accommodation — which among other things would prohibit discussion of the full report, even with other Committee Members — is not acceptable,” she wrote.
Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, New York Democrat, issued a subpoena Friday morning demanding the full document be produced to Congress.
Mr. Collins on Monday called on Democrats to view the less-redacted report.
“With the special counsel’s investigation complete, I encourage Chairman Nadler and Democrat leaders to view this material as soon as possible — unless they’re afraid to acknowledge the facts this report outlines,” he said.
Democrats are set to convene via conference call around 5 p.m. Monday so that committee chairs can discuss the redacted report, their requests for the full report and where the caucus goes from here.
Several prominent Democrats — including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and presidential hopefuls Sen. Elizabeth Warren and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro, have called for House Democrats to start impeachment proceedings.
Mrs. Pelosi attempted to pull the reigns back in on that particular political gamble.
“While our views range from proceeding to investigate the findings of the Mueller report or proceeding directly to impeachment, we all firmly agree that we should proceed down a path of finding the truth,” she wrote in a letter to her caucus.
I looked up Anders Holch Povlsen. He seems to have been liked by locals in Scotland (where his family led a "quiet life", but he was known to occasionally turn up at the local pub), and this ambitious idea seems only benevolent. Maybe somebody didn't like his idea.
Regardless, just the mention of losing three children makes my blood run cold. I hope this man can one day find peace and comfort again after such unthinkable tragedy.
Povlsen recently announced plans to connect the multiple large estates in Scotland to encourage restoration of forests and endangered wildlife. In fact, just released this statement LAST WEEK:

Britain's biggest private landowner says re-wilding Scotland is a 'labour of love'
ritain’s biggest private landowner has admitted in an open letter, setting out his ambitions for the 220,000 acres he owns, that he will not live to see the “re-wilding” of his 12 Scottish estates.
Anders Holch Povlsen, the Danish retail billionaire, and his wife Anne, said their vision for the land would be passed on to their four children and future generations.
They also spelled out their plans for each estate, including Glenfeshie, Eriboll and Polla, Braegill and Hope, Gaick and Ben Loyal.
Mr Povlsen’s ownership of so much land is controversial, although conservation groups have backed his bid to restore parts of the Highlands to what he calls their “former magnificent natural state”.
He has been praised for encouraging the natural regeneration of important remnants of ancient Caledonian pine forest on the 42,000-acre Glenfeshie estate in the Cairngorms.
But he has also been criticised by some landowners over large deer culls – carried out to reduce grazing pressure - because of their effect on neighbouring sporting estates that rely on stalking.
The letter, on the website of Mr Povlsen’s company, Wildland Ltd, says they are writing from their “home at Glenfeshie” and are committed to their Scottish project for the long term.
It adds: “Both Anne and myself, our children and our parents too, have long enjoyed a deep connection with this magnificent landscape.
"This love of the Scotland Highlands has manifested itself with ever-greater involvement over the years. Alongside, we have also grown to appreciate the breadth of issues and opportunity that we, together with our growing team, are now responsible for.
"Today, as one of Scotland’s largest landowners, that responsibility has evolved to become a labour of love; a project that we are deeply passionate about. It is a project that we know cannot be realised in our lifetime, which will bear fruit not just for our own children but also for the generations of visitors who, like us, hold a deep affection the Scottish Highlands.
"It’s a significant and lifelong commitment that we have made – not just for ourselves but for the Scottish people and Scottish nature too – a commitment which we believe in deeply.”
The couple, who have been building their Scottish portfolio since 2006, are also restoring the lodges and properties on the estates.
Last month, the Scottish Land Commission proposed radical reforms to SNP ministers that could see wealthy individuals being required in future to produce a management plan before being allowed to buy estates.
Andy Wightman, the Green MSP and veteran land reform campaigner, said he believed, as a matter of principle, that “nobody should be allowed to buy 220,000 acres, no questions asked”.
But he added that, after campaigning on Glenfeshie estate since 1982, he was pleased that “at last someone is doing the right thing”.
He said: “The problem is, anybody from anywhere can buy as much as they like, but they may or may not do the right thing, and what the right thing is, is contested.
“What we should have, and this is what the Land Commission was taking about, is that in places like Glenfeshie that are an important part of the natural heritage and have been vandalised over decades, any purchaser should have to seek some consent for their plans.”
Mr Wightman added: “If there are billionaires willing to come and restore landscapes in Scotland, according to what is the public policy of the time, then far rather they come with their money than us spend public money. That is a rational, pragmatic view of what he’s doing.”
He said there were long-standing restrictions on what landowners could do with scheduled monuments, such as standing stones, and suggested a similar approach should be established for Scotland’s natural heritage.
