Lock her up.
Honestly, I don’t have any ethical issue with a government official using personal email for occasional business. But if you entered government after the 2016 campaign and were doing it, you are guilty of criminal stupidity.
The most surprising thing I learned in the Post story about Ivanka is that she has a chief of staff. Why?

Clever for Barr’s confirmation team to try to bury this right before the holidays, but it raises major questions about whether he should be allowed to oversee the Mueller probe. wsj.com/articles/trump…
It is true, as “people familiar with the matter” say, that former officials sometimes provide unsolicited thoughts to DOJ. But 20-page memos that are also sent to counsel for the subject of an investigation? That is not common, and it doesn’t happen by accident.
Barr’s views on executive power have long been at the extreme end of the spectrum. But for him to have argued the merits of this specific case - on Trump’s behalf, to Rosenstein, with Trump’s counsel (and presumably Trump) knowing he did it - means he needs to pledge to recuse.

In the past 36 hours we’ve seen new reporting on three separate Mueller threads: 1. Peter Smith hunt for stolen emails, 2. Alfa Bank server, 3. George Nader/Psy-Group. Reminder of how many pieces there are we have very little visibility into. nyti.ms/2E6xgmD?smid=n…
Nader remains the piece I understand the least yet want to understand the most.
And if you’re wondering if we’ll ever find out, a reminder that under the precedent Comey set for Clinton, all of the FBI 302s in the Russia investigation should be made public within two months of the probe ending, even if its right before a presidential election.

Watching the way D's are approaching the FBI investigation into Kavanaugh, & it feels like they are making some of the same mistakes they made during the Clinton email investigation & as Rosenstein has ceded ground to the WH at various times in the Russia probe.
Comes back to the asymmetric way the two parties treat DOJ/FBI, where the GOP continuously pressures it to do inappropriate things while D's just ask it to follow the normal process. Guess which one the FBI responds to?
Consider who is in charge of the FBI investigation: Chris Wray, who (like Kavanaugh) was in the Federalist Society at Yale and who served with him in the Bush admin - in jobs where they would've worked closely together.

Let's talk about the #BoyPlunder, Jared Kushner, and his many crimes.

[THREAD]
1/ Kushner is among the most corrupt and seditious figures ever to work in the White House. He's shown nothing but contempt for the United States: violating its laws, lying to its law enforcement officials, and (possibly) selling its state policy for his own personal enrichment.
2/
 CRIME #1: Weaponizing data to contaminate the election

Cambridge Analytica, working for Trump at the direction of Kushner, weaponized stolen Facebook data. It enabled them to “microtarget” key demographics.

Forbes says Trump’s microtargeting was “Kushner’s system.”

This all started because the #MetPolice & #LBRUT couldn't do their day jobs properly & decided to take the law into their own hands. It started as a small cover up 12 years ago but has turned into British State Persecution.

#Skynews #BBCNews #DailyMail #Guardian #Euronews
My company was raided. It should have been a straightforward matter. But the #MetPolice & #LBRUT forgot to seize my computer & came back to do a 2nd raid. The search warrant didn't permit a second entry, however, #LBRUT entered unlawfully

#Guardian #Telegraph #DailyMail #GMB #UK
Complaints were then made to my MP #VinceCable. He liaised with the #Metpolice & #LBRUT. And then weeks later, the search warrant was completely changed & was passed off as the search warrant executed on the day of the raids.

If you're tired of political talk from me, just mute me for the next 8 hours. I'm currently reviewing the backlog of Oversight Committee hearings and will be live tweeting my thoughts. So, let's get into this.
Chaffetz acknowledges his respect and admiration for the FBI and addresses the concern of a double standard with the Clinton investigation and starts to build a timeline. The day of her Senate confirmation hearing, Hillary registered a domain name for her email.
"Classified Information is classified for a reason. It's classified because if it were to get out into the public, there are nefarious actors, nation states, others that want to do harm to this country and there are people who put their lives on the line protecting and serving

JIM JORDAN TIME WOOO

Looking forward to this beatdown. Go get 'im Strzok
LMAO, Jordan is such a douche. Strzok is baiting him brilliantly and he's losing his goddamn mind. I love it.
Goodlatte came back. He thinks he has his loophole. Here come those fireworks. Jordan just got an additional fifteen seconds from...somewhere. Jordan is consulting with Gowdy. There's a lot of tension in the air. Gowdy gets another question.

This is wild as fuck.

Not the one that @yogottikom is addicted to
IG report also rejects Comey's famous claim that trying to follow longstanding policy put him in a dilemma between speaking or "concealing."

That's a "false dichotomy," Horowitz writes, which is DOJ IG speak for a #roasting
IG report also gives unusual internal details on longstanding issue with FBI-DOJ relations - FBI chiefs don't really think DAG is their boss and act accordingly.

Shows DAG Yates thought telling Comey not to send email letter would get "hard push back"
