The NYT FBI bombshell is BIG.
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.”

“It is about Russia. Full stop.”
- 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.

IF we see this all as ONE UMBRELLA CASE into Russia’s breech of our National Security, then EVERYTHING under it, IS PART of that threat.
Collusion & Obstruction are NOT separate, they are part of ONE pattern.
Obstruction IS Collusion. And together, they are a conspiracy.

The Giuliani/Barr Industrial Complex submit that “Obstruction” is a ruse to go after Trump for doing things within his power.
BUT...👇
Remember, IMMEDIATELY after firing the FBI Dir, Trump BRAGGED about it IN THE OVAL in a secret meet w the RUSSIAN FOREIGN MINISTER!
WHY?

Trump hid this ☝️ from the US press. We ONLY know about it bc the Russians leaked it. WHY?
We’ve also found out that Donald wrote Junior’s first false statement about the Tower meet. WHY?
We also know Donald tried to save Flynn. We know he fired Comey BC if it. WHY?

Forget what we ALL have thought about the Mueller probe: that there are TWO CASES.
Now, start w the premise that it’s ONE BIG CASE: The Russians have assets that they are using to undermine US National Security.
EVERYTHING that comes out of that IS A CONSPIRACY.
“Full stop.”

Now ask yourself: is it a coincidence that over the holidays, Trump had his campaign finance chair/now treasury sec lift sanctions on a guy who knows EVERYTHING about what Manafort did, and when/if Donald knew about it?
Or, is it part of the pattern?

You know who MIGHT answer a LOT of questions?
THE ONLY AMERICAN in the room with Donald & Vlad in Helsinki, Marina Gross.
We STILL have NO IDEA what was discussed. But we DO know that afterward, Donald bent the knee. All part of the pattern.
“Full stop.”

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.
