1/ AG Barr’s assertion that @wikileaks publication is not a crime because it didn’t participate in the hacks is unpersuasive. Wikileaks was aware that the info had been acquired unlawfully, solicited more data, and actively coordinated dumps in furtherance of the criminal purpose
2/ The crimes committed by Russia did not stop once the hack was over. The criminal purpose was to acquire information and distribute it for the purpose of influencing or disrupting the election. 
3/ @wikileaks proactively sought to become a “resource/player in the US election” to encourage more leaks
I don’t think we knew that Michael Cohen connected to Dmitry Peskov to this extent, did we? #MuellersReport
It also seems that Cohen was so focused on the Trump Tower deal that he didn’t listen to his local fixer about how to make it happen: get a political blessing first.
NM: we knew about that phone call with Peskov’s assistant. (See my earlier point about reporting.) h/t @MiriamElder

2/ #AttorneyGeneral #WilliamBarr said nobody in the Trump campaign, or any American, colluded with #Russia to interfere in the 2016 elections.
Barr said #Russia did interfere, but nobody on the Trump campaign colluded with them.

3/ #Barr also said that it was #Russia who provided the emails to @Wikileaks. No member of the Trump campaign, however, worked with or coordinated with @Wikileaks in the release of the documents.
He also said no one on the Trump campaign coordinated with Russia in the #Hacking.

1. 100% @Trump campaign committed federal crime accepting help in Goldstein email before June 9 meeting. Crime committed when they did not report the Russians who committed crimes in the meeting.
IMO Barr is lying & engaged in cover up. Critical to understand lawyer like Barr.

2. Barr used excerpt from what he claimed was text of #MuellersReport. Barr's fake report uses "[T]" to show it was not capitalized in original. In my #RealMuellerReport examples I put single ' to show where that language starts and ends and how easy to commit a fraud.
3. Enjoy the thread grasshoppers. And remember what my mother taught me, when dealing with spooks, things are seldom as they seem.
Barr is an old spook. 🕵️♂️

1. Refining analysis. DC Chief Judge Beryl Howell says that the grand jury that was subject of the 18-gj-41 sealed docket on the secret company is pending. But reports were that was a Mueller grand jury. So why did he file a report if he still had an operating grand jury?
2. There are many signs of something coming in mid April. Last week @FBIWFO was reported to be giving the Gang of Eight a briefing on the counter intelligence investigation. But the Mueller order included CI investigation too. So if Mueller done, why wait to brief the Congress?
3. Trump appears to either have a 4th Floor justice source leaking or what's left of his common sense makes him fearful that Barr obviously stonewalling means Trump's got a problem. So today my earlier conclusion #MuellersReport includes serious Trump wrongdoing remains solid.
1. The @GOP have to be looking at the polling data and holding their breath. The @realDonaldTrump white supremacist base may never care that @Trump conspired with #Russia. But an overwhelming majority of Americans do care. #Barr may have overplayed Trump's hand and
2. the result may be the end of Trump's presidency through a fast impeachment trial.
Every trial lawyer knows you don't want to let the jury see your client get caught in a big lie. For better or worse, Barr is acting like Trump's own attorney and he walked Trump out on

3. a limb by manipulating a quote from #MuellersReport to cleverly say there was no collusion. But anyone who knows the relevant federal laws knows that Trump campaign committed numerous crimes related to Russia. Going to, & then not reporting, June 9 meeting were two fed crimes.
I've been too black for too long in America to be shocked or even disappointed that a major investigation into a high profile crime results in none of the highly powerful white guys who everybody knows are guilty somehow avoiding any conseqeunces. Color me not surprised
While a lot of the far left Russia Skeptics & Far Right Trump apologists are attacking the press for their coverage of the Mueller investigation were these groups similarly tsk tsking after the end of Benghazi or Clinton's Emails ? Nah, not really
#MuellerReport was a 2 year investigation launched by a GOP led congress & administration into their own president. Of course the media was going to cover it. As to whether some anlaysts gave viewers 'false hope' that Mueller was gonna 'get Trump' that's a bit chicken & egg to me
