    Did JFK ever pay hush money to keep his dalliances secret? Or did he just live in a different time?

    Probably VERY unpopular opinion: McCain would have been more effective battling Trump with his living votes than with his dying breaths.

    On Fox, Giuliani says the case in the Southern District of New York should be dismissed as to Trump. This makes no sense since there’s no indicted case yet & no indication Trump is a target of the investigation. Did Giuliani just reveal something or is he rambling?

    This may corroborate Guardian story that Trump targeted Kahl (through his wife's volunteer activity!)

    <THREAD> According to this story, in May of last year, Team Trump asked an Israeli intel firm to dig up dirt on me as part of an effort to discredit the Iran deal. Tonight, as my wife read this story, that date triggered a very creepy memory. 1/10

    Wondering why we haven't seen Fox report on the contents of the "Dirty Dossier" Trump ordered up yet. Is it possible there's less dirt out there on and than there is on Trump? ?

    Funny how all SCOOPs about Ellis beating up Dreeben leave out when Dreeben cited Fourth Circuit precedent.

    DOJ redacted the fact that there was an ongoing counterintelligence investigation into Mike Flynn well before he called Kislyak to pay off the quid pro quo and it's a conspiracy theory.

    The Flynn redactions appear to have been done to protect a false statements case with no evidentiary basis. Others were done to hide apparent conspiracy to spy on and leak against Trump officials out of spite over the election results.

    On top of investigating "collusion" Mueller seems to be pointing to the parts of our system that make our politics ripe for purchase (by all countries). Inauguration committees are a notable cesspool of graft. Presidential libraries, too.

    Mueller interviews inauguration Chair Tom Barrack in December. Barrack inauguration aide Rick Gates flips in late February. Mueller stops inauguration attendee Vekselberg & other oligarchs two months ago. 🤔

    Nice to see “Resistance” Republicans targeting Democrats get preferential coverage on the supposed Democratic cable network.

    .: If Republican party is going to back & these absurd policies that have nothing to do w/traditional values of party then millions of people are going to jump ship. I’m only one of them. In Minnesota we’re going to focus not just on but on real issues

    One way to look at the Sekulow/Mueller questions from January-February 2016 is that Trump fired Flynn to make sure he wasn't being wiretapped. Gives this week's events (and disavowal of Cohen) a different feel.
