On the subject of spying, maybe Mueller should indict himself for allowing his subordinates to falsify national security letters to illegally spy on Americans.
This all relates to a 2010 OIG report on the FBI's use of obtaining phone records.

Finding: Mueller' FBI abused its authority by improperly obtaining reporters' phone billing records without the required Attorney General approval. Image
Mueller's FBI was also lying to the FISA courts - in sworn declarations - about how it obtained information through national security letters or grand jury subpoenas. Image

Edward Snowden exposed the worst 4th Amendment violations in US history: the unlawful collection of data on millions of Americans.

His fight was on behalf of the American people.

For that @Snowden deserves a pardon from @realDonaldTrump Image
Recall what Snowden helped expose:

1) The illegal collection of metadata of millions of Americans

2) NSA plans to "Collect it All" and "Exploit it All"

3) Economic espionage and the abuse of private data ImageImageImage
Forget the clichés and talking points of pundits and gov't officials.

Instead, read the source documents hosted by @ggreenwald

They show the scope of domestic surveillance abuses and global US operations.

The DOJ has filed its Kevin Clinesmith sentencing memo

They want incarceration.

DOJ: Clinesmith wasn't just altering e-mails - he was lying about Carter Page in DMs to the FBI agent.

Thread. ImageImageImage
Why the Clinesmith lie was material:

"It would raise the issue of whether [Carter Page] had those interactions with the intent to assist the US gov't."

It would go to the "loyalties" of Carter Page.

Clinesmith knew FISC needed to be informed.

@AWeissmann_ disagrees 🤦‍♂️ ImageImageImage
Clinesmith's lies "allowed the FBI to conduct surveillance" on @carterwpage thru a FISA application that "lacked probable cause"

He violated the duty of candor to the FISA court. ImageImage

We have Ghislaine Maxwell's unsealed deposition.

Question: Did you invite minor Virginia Giuffre to Epstein's home?

Maxwell: "She came as a masseuse."

Thread. Image
Ghislaine Maxwell admits that Epstein's masseuse was a minor.

Maxwell: "Virginia Roberts (Giuffre) who you are referring to was a masseuse aged 17."

Was [redacted girl] 13 years old when you met her?

Maxwell: "I have no idea." ImageImage
Maxwell evades the questions -

Question: Did the massage therapists "perform sexual acts for Jeffrey Epstein?"

Maxwell: "I don't know what you mean by sexual acts." Image

DOJ produces new Flynn evidence - 1/25/17 Notes FBI OGC lawyer notes.

Logan Act: "no reasonable prosecutor" would proceed.

Flynn call w/ Kislyak similar to "other transition teams"

"First time to use [Logan Act]"

Thread. Image
TOP FBI lawyer James Baker:

"How do you assess § 1001 (false statements) when you wouldn't prosecute the underlying crime?"

Big concession that this wasn't about the broader Crossfile Hurricane investigation. Image
Assessment of whether Flynn is in a "covert relationship w/ Russia":

"No, probably not based on facts to date and interview."

Will be necessary to compare this to the Flynn NSLs handled by Clinesmith. Possible predication issues. (See pic) ImageImage

🚨Flynn update - Interview 302 from FBI Agent William Barnett

"BARNETT believed the prosecution of FLYNN by SCO (Team Mueller) was used as a means to 'get Trump'"

Thread. Image
Agent Barnett was assigned to Crossfire Razor (the Flynn counter-intel investigation).

Barnett was later assigned to the Special Counsel team.

Barnett: the predication for the Flynn investigation was "not great" Image
Crossfire Hurricane source (likely Halper) accused Flynn of leaving a 2014 event with an undisclosed person.

Perhaps @RealSLokhova

FBI assessed this information to be not accurate Image

Whoa - the Joseph Mifsud 302 is out.

Mifsud said he had no advance knowledge Russia had DNC emails and did not make any offer to Papadopoulos

And there is a post-interview email from Mifsud to FBI yet to be released 🤔

A very short interview for a purported "Russian agent" ImageImage
Mueller's Report played-up Mifsud's "connections to Russia."

At the interview, the FBI didn't bother to ask many questions about those "connections."

No follow-up questions about emails.

Now we can see why there were zero references to the Mifsud 302 in Mueller's Report. ImageImage
Mueller allegation:

@GeorgePapa19 "lies" about if he was w/ Trump campaign during Mifsud meeting impeded their ability to question Mifsud.

The problem: Mifsud himself told the FBI that George was w/ Trump campaign when they met. ImageImageImage
