James Comey bungled Hillary Clinton investigation. Then started sketchy Trump probe. Then did a dossier-based, Moscow hookers, J. Edgar Hoover-style 'we know about you' routine with Trump before Trump became president... 1/4
Then Comey told Trump three times he wasn't under investigation while leaving public impression that he was. Trump understandably angry. Then, when Trump fired Comey--as some advisors had advocated for months--FBI saw it as treason. 2/4
Now, NYT reports FBI reacted to justified firing of Comey by opening counterintelligence investigation, probing 'whether [Trump] had been working on behalf of Russia against American interests.' 3/4
Investigation result: 'No evidence has emerged publicly that Mr. Trump was secretly in contact with or took direction from Russian government officials.' Is NYT story about Trump, or about FBI malfeasance? 4/4 End. nytimes.com/2019/01/11/us/…

A few thoughts on Roger Stone indictment. First, what it's not. No charge of conspiracy or allegation Trump campaign conspired with Russia. Stone not charged with lying to or obstructing Mueller probe. 1/6 ow.ly/zd0v30ns4jw
All seven counts against Stone based on his 9/26/17 testimony to House Intel Committee. Charged with obstructing House by saying he had no emails with Corsi, Credico, and also by trying to get Credico to take Fifth or lie to House. 2/6 washingtonexaminer.com/news/in-new-mu…
Stone also charged with lying when he told House Credico was his only 'go-between' trying to contact Assange, when in fact Stone also contacted Corsi for that purpose. 3/6 washingtonexaminer.com/news/in-new-mu…

Haven't said much about Buzzfeed debacle. Was skeptical moment I saw it; I covered Valerie Plame affair, remembered author. But had other things to do yesterday; expressed caution and moved on.
Later, re-read Mueller/Cohen documents. Buzzfeed piece didn't seem consistent with them. Why would prosecutors specifically say Trump directed Cohen to violate campaign finance laws, but remain silent on Trump directing Cohen to lie to Congess? Odd.
Didn't keep up with day's coverage; but don't think Buzzfeed incident will really change anything. Tone of some coverage has more to do with emotions and longings than anything else. That's not going to change.

Proposals for 'virtual fence' on border haven't worked in past. Big problem: They don't keep anybody from crossing border illegally. Now, Dems trying again. But tech plan even less useful now, because nature of illegal flow has changed. 1/3 ow.ly/3wyP30niTVb
Now, many illegal crossers are families & unaccompanied children. Goal is not to enter US undetected. Goal is to enter, be caught, and begin asylum process that will allow them to stay in US, even if asylum claim is baseless. 2/3 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…
In those circumstances, virtual fence useless. Could be why advocates want it; gives appearance of toughness on border security, but doesn't stop illegal crossers. 3/3 End. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…

Trump wanted to order the Justice Department to prosecute James Comey & Hillary Clinton. Don McGahn & White House lawyers warned Trump in a memo that he could be impeached if he tried to force the Justice Dept to investigate his rivals.
by @nytmike #Maddow nyti.ms/2zk2G3V
ICYMI: Trump's acting AG Matt Whitaker privately counseled Trump this past spring on how he might pressure the Justice Dept to name a special counsel to investigate Hillary Clinton – around the time Trump told WH counsel he wanted HRC prosecuted.
#Maddow
Trump lackey Matthew Whitaker was counseling the White House on investigating Hillary Clinton – advising Trump on launching a new special counsel to do so – while working as chief of staff for Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

spying on @realDonaldTrump before, during & after the 2016 election explained:

1. 2016 primaries, Trump knows Obama/HRC did lots of sweet under table deals with Russians/Iranians. To troll them, he starts bragging how he's going to be Putin's BFF once he's elected
📢#RETWEET 📢
2. Hillary & her team hatch a dirty trick to play on Trump: they'll hire a political communications shop named FUSION GPS to create what will be passed off as a collection of intelligence reports 'proving' Trump & his campaign team are in pocket of Russians

1) Have you ever wondered why James Comey let Hillary Clinton off the hook concerning the email investigation? Well, to answer that we have to go ALLLLL the way back to 1996 when Comey was on the Whitewater Special Council.

.@POTUS .@Scotus .@VP .@USAGSessions .@GOP .@DNC
2) Also interesting, is that Loretta Lynch (you know, the AG at the time when Comey let Hillary off the hook?). Well, it turns out she has worked for the Clintons before...WAAAAy back in the 80s and 90s. So is it any wonder that she, too, let Hillary of the hook?
3)Then there is when Comey worked for Lockheed Martin (who just so happened to become a Clinton Foundation donor right before Comey left and they paid him $6 millon, not bad for a 5 year stint there).
