But @benjaminwittes’ conclusions re what it MEANS: mind-BLOWING.
“There are NOT 2 probes: Obstruction & Collusion.
There is ONE probe: A Counterintelligence Investigation into the National Security Threat from Russia.”

- James Baker’s (FBI GC) congressional testimony.
As @benjaminwittes lays out, this was not investigation into Trump or his campaign. It was a counterintelligence investigation, under which Trump’s people fell.
That’s a BIG distinction.

It’s as if Trump thought my thread wasn’t finished.
He confiscated Marina Gross’ notes, didn’t brief his National Security team, has gone to “extraordinary lengths” to conceal what he and Putin discussed.
WHY?
He is an asset. Full stop.
