Reading the same tea leaves leads me to the witness being someone in the White House counsel's office (where Katsas worked), who may now be asserting executive privilege after previously waiving it, which is a potentially significant legal issue for the courts to address. 1/
If it were Trump who received a subpoena, it's hard to imagine that he and Giuliani would remain silent, particularly when they know the Special Counsel can't say anything in response, so they could make up whatever they want, as they have done with just about everything else. 2/
In addition, they could make this a campaign issue -- Mueller is overreaching! He has everything he needs already! Witch Hunt! -- that could deflect from the real issues they are worried about. Just can't imagine Trump/Giuliani keeping quiet if he is subpoenaed. END

Short thread:

Latest ODNI election interference provides some more important detail about election interference but seems to (intentionally) conflate public statements from foreign countries (China/Iran) with covert malign influence efforts (Russia). They are not the same. 1/
After sucking up to Xi earlier this year, Trump has seemingly decided that making China the bad guy will give him an opening to blame China for his election loss. So he has taken actions to upset China (blame them for virus, close Houston consulate, Tiktok/WeChat, etc). 2/
So it is no surprise that China is unhappy with that recent 180 from Trump to confrontation rather than appeasement. But China’s preference for Trump’s opponent in light of Trump’s antagonism is NOT the equivalent of Russia using proxies to spread disinformation in U.S. 3/

Barr: nothing was ever elevated to me during Bush years.

Follow-up: why was the case of Roger Stone, one of thousands in DOJ, elevated to you?

True answer: because he had incriminating information on @realDonaldTrump
What evidence does Barr have that voter fraud is a risk of widespread mail-in voting?

How many voter fraud cases had DOJ brought in last 10 years?
Barr is apparently okay discussing ongoing investigations into unmasking, so he should be perfectly okay discussing ongoing investigations in the SDNY that may have led to Berman’s firing.

Let’s unpack this.

1) why should we believe Barr (or his lackeys) when we know that Barr lied to the public that Berman “stepped down”?

2) Berman was Trump’s pick for the job. Yet Berman has not been compliant with the Trump/Barr political playbook.
3) US Attorneys chosen by the President are NEVER fired 5 months before a presidential election. It’s laughable to assert that it was simply to make room for someone who was never a prosecutor or even a litigator.

4) Since impeachment, Trump has been on a disloyalty purge.
5) Trump/Barr originally wanted to place an interim US Attorney from outside SDNY, which also never happens when US Attorneys do step down. That indicates they did not want someone within the SDNY to be leading the office — who would likely continue the ongoing investigations.

FINAL UPDATE (thread): My #COVID19 test came back positive.

I want to thank everyone for the outpouring of support. It means a lot to my family and me.

I am almost back to 100%. I’m lucky enough not to fall in the vulnerable category and, for me, it was just like the flu. 1/
My difficulty in getting a test despite the exact symptoms and a neg flu test underscores how shockingly unprepared this administration is to deal with this pandemic. In fact, I was told that NYC hospitals STILL would not test my wife — with similar symptoms — unless admitted. 2/
@realDonaldTrump can try to gaslight the American public by repeatedly saying that everyone who needs a test can get one, but that was not true one month ago (when it should have been the case) and it is not true today (when there is no excuse). 3/

Let’s be very clear: unless you have pneumonia and traveled to one of 5 high-risk countries recently, you can NOT get a #COVID19 test in New York City. If you, like me, have a fever and a headache (but tested negative for the flu), you are unable to rule out #COVID19. Shameful.
This is not New York City’s fault. There simply are insufficient tests so they are being rationed.

(And I’m fine. Just want to rule it out for my family, including three little kids.)
UPDATE: my primary care doc said he could send a #coronavirus test to @QuestDX but it has to go to California and won’t come back for at least 4 days. (The tests at hospital ER’s apparently take 24-36 hours.)

Let’s debunk this whole “no corroboration” straw man once and for all.

1) you don’t need corroboration. Ford’s compelling and credible testimony, partic in the case of Kav’s less-than-credible response, is sufficient in court and thus certainly for these purposes.

1/
2) corroboration is NOT narrowly defined as “someone else who witnessed the same event.” Corrob comes in all forms, incl docs (Safeway records, calendars), prior consistent statements, design of the house, etc. Unlikely anyone not in the room wld remember party 36 yrs ago.

2/
3) There IS corrob here for Dr Ford. She remembers the people Kav hung out with, there is a July 1 calendar entry about a small party that included the people she said were there (and others, who could have come later or she didn’t know), and prior consistent statements.

3)
