MAJOR BREAKING NEWS:
2/ The Playboy model is Karen McDougal. Rudy Giuliani, Trump's attorney, confirms the tape is genuine.

The biggest thing here to me is that this confirms Cohen was secretly taping Trump. Which means there are other tapes on other issues.
3/ It was obvious to every American with a pulse that Trump was lying left and right about every payment he ever made to any woman via Cohen or otherwise. I don't know whether the revelation of this lie will move the needle much. But if there are *other* tapes on *other* issues…

Per CNN reporting just now, William Barr before today told the White House that he would be bringing in his own Deputy Attorney General if confirmed, so the news that Rosenstein will step down if Barr if confirmed should not have led to *any* of the hysteria it seems like it has.
2/ Rosenstein previously said he'd serve two years—so his departure around now isn't surprising anyway, and (in fact) will make it easier for him to coordinate with Mueller as a witness rather than a supervisor. Too many people are reading way too much into his pending departure.
3/ I'll go further: Rosenstein is friendly with Barr, used to work with him, and recommended him for the Attorney General spot—all of which indicates that his comfort level with Barr taking over the Mueller probe has *nothing* to do with an assessment of when that probe will end.

*ONE WEEK IN 2016*

July 27, 2016: Trump asks for Kremlin help
August 2, 2016: Manafort meets Deripaska agent Kilimnik in NYC
August 3, 2016: Trump Jr. meets Deripaska agent Zamel in NYC

NOTE: Deripaska calls himself "one with the State [Kremlin]."

(h/t @ZevShalev/@TheAtlantic)
@ZevShalev @TheAtlantic *ANOTHER WEEK IN 2016*

August 17, 2016: CIA tells Trump Kremlin is attacking US
August 19, 2016: Trump fires Manafort

NOTE: In January 2018, NBC reports Trump is privately telling friends Mueller can't get him *because* Manafort won't "flip" (he already knew Trump Jr. wouldn't)
@ZevShalev @TheAtlantic 3/ A reasonable conclusion: after he and Flynn left the room the CIA briefed them in on August 17, 2016, Trump realized that it was entirely possible Manafort's contacts with the Russians had been picked up by American intelligence, and he could therefore no longer work with him.

*MEDIA'S AMAZING MANEUVER*

1) falsely requiring a single Hollywood-style "smoking gun" on collusion
2) reporting breathlessly on a revelation anyone in Hollywood would call a smoking gun (Manafort's delivery of data to the Kremlin)
3) pretending we're still looking for collusion
2/ I mean wow, it's almost like Donald Trump calls media his greatest enemy when it's in fact a stalwart ally, and media claims to be looking as hard as it can for collusion when in fact it just wants to keep us *watching* its "search" for collusion as America goes down the drain
3/ And somehow it's now been a *year* I've been trying to call media's attention to a January '18 NBC report saying Trump thinks Manafort could sink him, which any attorney or journalist would consider key evidence Trump in fact *did* know what Manafort was up to with the Kremlin

#BREAKING Trump FIRES Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Trump asked him to submit letter of resignation. Let's remember Sessions did everything Trump wanted, even separated children at border. The ONLY reason Trump fired him: Sessions recused, didn't stop the Russia investigation.
Trump fired Sessions and replaced him with a man who has openly expressed hostility to the Mueller investigation. Matthew Whitaker wrote in 2017 that investigating Trump's financial ties to Russia is beyond Mueller's scope. Ridiculous then. Now dangerous. cnn.com/2017/08/06/opi…
CNN reports Kelly fired Sessions at Trump's request. Before the cray am press conference, at which Trump threatened Democrats who would do their oversight DUTY to investigate him, whipped Republicans who shunned him…and called a woman of color 'racist' for asking abt Nationalism

#Breaking BADABOUM puissance MILLE #Flynn l'ancien conseiller sécurité nationale de #Trump est inculpé pour parjure devant le FBI et mis en garde à vue par #Mueller. RT+1
2) Les informations sont encore parcellaires: #Flynn est incriminé pour des fausses déclarations répétées au #FBI quant à ses relations avec la #Russie, on est donc au coeur de l'enquête #Mueller sur #Trump et pas en périphérie...
3) #Flynn aurait menti délibérément et consciemment en particulier sur ses entretiens avec l'ambassadeur de #Russie Kislyak. On peut penser au RDV avec Kushner le 1er décembre 2016 et aux coups de fil sur les sanctions le 29 décembre 2016. #Trump
