3. I always recall the NYT piece—with major scoop of leaked McFarland emails—included this tantalizing nugget of a planned meeting with President-elect Trump later that same day. Raising Q of what Trump knew

4. All this lying to FBI by Trump team raises BIG question whether it was coordinated, which could seriously implicate Trump in actions that even @AlanDersh thinks is a crime for a President to commit.

Conspiracy to suborn perjury.

5. Coordinated lying to FBI could implicate Priebus, McGahn.

Priebus, McGahn create 6-page memo which close observers know is FALSE. Memo is fiction saying Flynn lied to Trump team about Russia call. (Priebus himself was told of Rus sanction call in Dec '16 per McFarland email.)

Giuliani invokes Woodward on collusion👇

#WoodwardBook is very superficial on this topic. When it does make a claim it gets stuff WRONG. 2 examples:

Woodward: “The sources that Steele used for his dossier had not been polygraphed, which made their information uncorroborated” 1/
Some Steele's sources' info had been corroborated at the time. FBI Dir Comey's declassified notes of what he told Priebus:

"I explained that the analysts from all three agencies agreed it was relevant and that portions of the material were corroborated by other intelligence.” 2/
But more BIZARRELY what on earth is Woodward saying?

Woodward: “The sources that Steele used for his dossier had not been polygraphed, which made their information uncorroborated”

Because Steele's sources weren't polygraphed, their info cannot be considered corroborated? 🙄 3/
