Another swing and a miss by Phil Ewing.

Last time: gross error in taking wrong statement from Don Jr's testimony about Moscow Tower deal (indicating serious lack of understanding the timeline).

This time: an assessment of the Russia investigation that's embarrassingly flawed.
Read also @Mimirocah1's assessment of the Pihil Ewing piece on the Russia investigation:

and here is Phil Ewing's mea culpa from last time around

#Barr reply to @SenBlumenthal

“There are two different reports…Under the current regulations, the special counsel report is confidential. The report that goes public would be a report by the Attorney General.”

Opposite of reassuring that he'll make Mueller report public.
Senator @maziehirono follows up

"What I am hearing you saying is that...neither Congress nor public will get the Mueller report because that's confidential."

#Barr dodges: will release information "consistent with the regulations"—regulations which he says make it confidential!
Bingo

@SenFeinstein's precise followup:

"There is nothing in the regulations that prevent you from providing Mueller's report to Congress…the regs do not state that confidentiality means the report cannot be provided to Congress…Will you provide Mueller's report to Congress?"

One small subpoena, one big effect. <thread>

A key that may unlock Trump's direct involvement in Russian interference is a phone call between Don Jr and mystery blocked number in setting up Trump Tower meeting.

Now Dems hold subpoena power.

Recall this:
thehill.com/policy/nationa…
Analysis by @AndyMcCanse is a must read on how the House's new Democratic majority can now pursue different threads in Russia investigation.

(analysis includes subpoena for the phone records, larger items like Russia money laundering, and more)

justsecurity.org/61409/russia-i…
On alleged Trump-Russian money laundering links—now likely to take on a new focus in House investigations—it's a good time to (re)read @craigunger's recent book:

"House of Trump, House of Putin: The Untold Story of Donald Trump and the Russian Mafia"

Big revelation in front page NYT story on U.S. support for Saudi #YemenWar

On left: General Votel says to @SenWarren Pentagon unable to tell whether U.S. fuel/bombs were used in Saudi strikes that killed civilians (March 13, 2018)

On right: NYT investigation shows opposite.
Here's NYT must read on US support for Saudi Yemen War👇

Insightful quotes by @LarryLewis_ (State Dept point person for Saudi coalition civilian casualties 2015-17) @Malinowski (former senior US official and new member of Congress)

I was also interviewed
nytimes.com/2018/12/25/wor…
“We concluded that they [the Saudis] were just not willing to listen." “They were given specific coordinates of targets that should not be struck and they continued to strike them. That struck me as a willful disregard of advice they were getting”

Another part of this clip that jumped out at me:

Rudy now says that Moscow tower talks could have gone up to November 2016, i.e. the month of the election.

Cohen’s lie to Congress was that deal fizzled in January 2016.

The revised timeline was June 2016. 🔽
So, Giuliani’s position is that Trump and Putin’s inner circles talked about a Moscow tower deal that reportedly included a $50 million penthouse for Putin the up to the month of the election?
From this interview, we don’t know whether the Moscow tower deal discussions continued *after* the election. We only know what they now claim to be the month.

Good morning from New York.

Today’s sentencing hearing for Michael Cohen begins at 11 a.m., and I‘ll be live-tweeting it.

As Cohen tries to avoid a lengthy prison term, we’ll see if there will be more revelations about “Individual-1,” i.e. Trump.

Thread to come here.
Pano shot of the enormous press scrum outside of Manhattan federal court.
Michael Cohen is reported to have arrived.

Michael Avenatti is also said to be in attendance.

(THREAD) There are bombshell revelations deeply damaging to Trump in the just-released HPSCI report written by Trump's allies and agents in the House. This thread discusses them via a deep dive into the timeline of events the GOP now seeks to obscure. Hope you'll read and share.
It's now clear that Trump NatSec chief Jeff Sessions received—with Trump—the US intelligence community's August 17, 2016 briefing calling Russia a "threat." 22 days later, Sessions secretly met with the Russian ambassador. No other Armed Services Senator met with Kislyak in 2016.
Sessions' testimony confirms he discussed Ukraine (sanctions) with Kislyak in his secret meeting of September 8, 2016—the one he lied to Congress about. But we didn't know until now that the intelligence community had told him 22 days earlier that Russia was an *active* threat.

Though Sana planned to make the best of her college years and land an okayish paying job, she’s going to have to put that on hold when her biggest secret is revealed.
This is based off two things that I won’t reveal til the end for the sake of spoilers

Please don’t reply/quoting is fine and I’ll try to update as much as possible

How #Trump became a #Soviet/#Russian Agent
1. #Trump's first known visit to #Soviet and #Moscow in 1987 looks to be part of a pattern. The #SteeleDossier says that the #Kremlin had been cultivating# Trump for “at least five years” before 2016 elections, meaning it asserts a beginning in 2011 or 2012.
2.The #SovietUnion was interested in #Trump three decades earlier. The top level of the #Soviet diplomatic service arranged his 1987 #Moscow visit.
