THREAD: Here's latest order by Sullivan in the Flynn case. Two points: First, this filing is most likely merely FD0302 dated 8/22/17 & Memorandum dated 1/24/17, which Mueller filed redacted versions of in appendix. Remember Sullivan had ordered FLYNN to file those 1/
2/ Here's Sullivan's order re those documents: "MINUTE ORDER as to MICHAEL T. FLYNN. In 50 defendant's memorandum in aid of sentencing, the defendant quotes and cites a "Memorandum dated Jan. 24, 2017." See page 8 n. 21, 22. The defendant also quotes and cites a "FD-302 dated
3/ Aug. 22, 2017." See page 9 n. 23-27. The defendant is ORDERED to file on the docket FORTHWITH the cited Memorandum and FD-302." FLYNN had been ordered to file those documents & didn't know Mueller would be at time he filed w/ motion to seal. Second point: This supports my
4/4 view that Mueller filed original 302 from Flynn interview with the court w/ motion to seal and that is "hiding" behind dockets 51-55, or rather 52-55, because we now know that 51 was Flynn's motion, as detailed here. END thefederalist.com/2018/12/17/her…

THREAD This question made me think. I immediately responded "Beat Hillary," but I think for those with TDS it is really "was elected President." And that is what I think separates the #NeverTrump folks who have TDS and those who don't! I don't hate Trump. And I don't resent
2/ him being elected President. I always said "I will be devastated if Hillary wins or Trump doesn't lose." In retrospect, I was wrong, if only because of the courts...but in reality he has many more conservative victories. BUT even if he didn't, TDS is based on a prideful
3/ anger prompted because Trump is president. And for those claiming to be Republicans or conservatives who suffer from TDS, it is far more untethered than any anger they had b/c Obama was elected President over McCain, proving pride, envy, and anger, truly kill the soul. END

THREAD: First important point to recognize is the question posed here--it is NOT whether a Special Counsel can be constitutionally appointed, but rather whether Mueller has in practice been given such unfettered authority that he is acting as "principal officer," which under 1/
2/ constitution requires Senate confirmation. Initially, then, the panel will need to set some standard to judge how much authority is too much. I'd guess judges would establish a test that focuses on authority US attorneys have, and supervision by DOJ they are subject to and
3/ ask if theoretically and in practice, Mueller has the same/similar authority and has been subjected to same/more/less supervision. BUT after establishing the test, I highly doubt the panel can apply it: The court will need to remand to the lower court for record to be

THREAD: Some thoughts on Mattis resignation: I'm a hawk and prefer Mattis' views to Trump; Trump ran on a contrary view & is CIC; I don't know what strategy is & whether achievable; I wish Mattis were still there; I'd wager that 50% criticizing Trump truly disagree w/ Mattis 1/
2/ and wish he were out, except Trump; Mattis did it right, unlike Yates who refused to resign & instead grandstanded to the applause of Mueller's pitbull Weissmann; thankfully French forces are coming in to take over; French coming in will help Trump b/c he'll claim we don't
3/ need to expend our blood & money & that others need to do their fair share; he's not wrong; we will never be able to repay sacrifices of our men and women in the services and their families; what is solution to Syria at this point? No idea, but the fake redline get us here.

#Thread of responses from women in aerodynamics to the question, 'what would you like to see in order for women's career progression in your field to be sustained and better supported?'

Responses incl. career flexibility, mentoring and more women in leadership roles #WomeninSTEM
1. "I think young female engineers need to see more female role models and mentors in my field. Having a visible example of someone that looks like you and is succeeding in their field is important. Having an opportunity to meet with a mentor like that can be very powerful."
2. "I would like to see that any career promotion is based on own merits and value added to the company or the society independently of the gender. I want that women are measured with the same rules as men and are given equal opportunities."

‼FINALLY a US official—Judge Sullivan—says to #Flynn what many have tip-toed around for years now:
—You were a foreign agent while serving as National Security Advisor to POTUS
—This undermines everything this flag stands for
—Arguably you sold your country out
—Is it TREASON?
Flynn cooperated but Trump doesn't call him a "rat." He even wishes him "Good Luck" in court. Also tweets he's worried about what Flynn has to say re "Russian Collusion." What's Trump gonna say now that Flynn delayed sentencing to cooperate some more & Judge brings up treason??

Two new minute orders from Judge Emmet G. Sullivan in the Flynn case. Sullivan granted Flynn's motion to file documents under seal, and ordered the government to immediately file publicly a redacted version of the unreleased January 24, 2017 FD-302 of Flynn's FBI interview.
The final sentencing hearing for Flynn is still scheduled for tomorrow (December 18) at 11:00 a.m.
As @ProfMJCleveland smartly suggested in this @FDRLST piece from this morning, based on missing docket numbers 51-55, Mueller's office previously responded to Sullivan's previous order to produce all relevant 302s by filing them under seal. thefederalist.com/2018/12/17/her…

#Thread Here's an incredible story about a young man who was busy with loading and unloading in #KeralaFloods relief centres. Only days later people came to know that he was none other than, Kannan Gopinathan, the Collector of Dadra & Nagar Haveli! (1/n)
He travelled in KSRTC buses and covered 5 districts in 10 days without revealing identity. He took leave for serving his homeland in the time of crisis. Kannan is a native of Kottayam. Even his relatives were not aware of his unofficial visit! (2/n)
It was only after Eranakulam Collector Y.Safirulla's visit to centre at KBPS press, the volunteers of the camp came to know that the guy who was helping in loading goods was an IAS officer! (3/n)

THREAD: the WaPo got an exclusive, inside view of Team🇺🇸Mueller.

After reading this, you’ll have NO DOUBT that Team🇷🇺Treason is going down‼️ 1/

washingtonpost.com/politics/insid…
Witnesses arrive SECRETLY via the loading dock. Security guards quickly wave the vehicle inside, then push a button that closes the garage door and shields the guest’s arrival from public view.🤨

👆🏼THIS👆🏼is why MUCH more has transpired than reported by the MSM‼️2/
Once inside, most witnesses are seated in a *windowless conference room* where two- and three-person teams of FBI agents & prosecutors rotate in & out, pressing them for answers.🤗

MUELLER himself often sits in the room, listening‼️ 3/
