Enter the Pecker news cycle —> @gabrielsherman: "According to two sources briefed on the Cohen investigation, prosecutors granted immunity to David Pecker ... and Dylan Howard ..." vanityfair.com/news/2018/08/d…
WSJ confirms Pecker granted immunity, and also says Howard "won’t be charged." wsj.com/articles/pecke…
This is very significant. In addition to the obvious reasons related to the Karen McDougal deal, Pecker and Howard would appear to have information about two other key moments, described in my story last night — buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg… — relating to Aug 2015 & Stormy Daniels —>
My write-up of why the Pecker immunity is such a big deal. —> buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg…

BREAKING: Supreme Court denies the foreign country-owned company's request to stay a contempt order resulting from its refusal to comply with a grand jury's subpoena. Chief Justice Roberts' "administrative stay" is vacated, so the result is the contempt order is back in effect.
That order of the court follows this request, made Monday but put on the docket today, to file a cert petition in the case under seal. Not clear what will happen with that now, but the contempt order (and associated fines) will now be back in place.
REDACTED DOCUMENT: Here's the redacted motion at SCOTUS, noted previously, of what appears to be the foreign-owned company seeking to file its petition for certiorari in the grand jury dispute under seal. documentcloud.org/documents/5677…

VERY bad news for @realDonaldTrump and his spawn: Allen Weisselberg, the longtime Trump Org CFO, was granted #immunity for providing information about Michael Cohen in the criminal investigation of hush-money payments during the campaign‼️

wsj.com/articles/allen…
No confirmation yet if Weisselberg's #immunity extends to providing dirt on Trump, Don Jr, Eric, and Kremlin🇷🇺Barbie, but we know that Mueller is following the money, so...😎

#TrumpCrimeFamily
#MuellerTime

🔥When a mob family's money guy flips, this is as BAD as it could possibly get. Weisselberg worked for *Donald's father* and has been the @Trump Org's money man for DECADES.😎

“Holy Shit, I Thought Pecker Would Be the Last One to Turn”: Trump’s National Enquirer Allies Are the Latest to Defect vanityfair.com/news/2018/08/d…
Prosecutors granted immunity to David Pecker, chairman of American Media Inc., and A.M.I.’s chief content officer, Dylan Howard, so they would describe Trump’s involvement in Cohen’s payments to porn star Stormy Daniels and Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal during the 2016 campaign
One source says Cohen wants to tell Mueller that Trump discussed the release of Podesta’s e-mails during the weekend when the Access Hollywood tape dominated the news cycle. (WikiLeaks started posting Podesta’s stolen emails half an hour after the Post published the tape)

Yesterday, Trey Gowdy showed Bannon Cambridge Analytica emails about seeking stolen data from Assange and asked of it was “treasonous” (and by “closely affiliated” @axios means board member, equity/debt holder of Cambridge Analytica LLC per WH disclosure) axios.com/steve-bannon-c…
And “somebody close to him” either refers to Rebekah Mercer, Bannon’s former patron, and/or Alexander Nix, CEO of Cambridge Analytica and SCL Elections Ltd (the registered data controller that processed American voter data in London) cnn.com/2017/10/27/pol…
Prior to yesterday, we’ve observed Democrats probing Cambridge Analytica’s role, especially Feinstein, Warner, Schiff, Conyers, Cummings but now that Gowdy is asking questions, the inquiry is notably more bipartisan. Why it matters:
