THREAD: The six things that @Buzzfeed's report on Michael helps underscore: wired.com/story/trump-im…
1) Mueller knows so much more than we can imagine. This report from BuzzFeed, as rich in detail as it is, probably represents just the tip of the iceberg of Mueller’s knowledge. wired.com/story/trump-im…
2) The allegation Trump is directing lies to Congress cuts to the heart of its legitimacy. It's one thing to ignore that "Individual 1" is already an unindicted co-conspirator in Cohen’s campaign finance case. Lying to Congress is another. wired.com/story/trump-im…
3) Any obstruction case would be much bigger than Comey. Don't get caught up in the legalese of the president's Article II powers. Any obstruction case would be a pattern, beginning during the campaign, through the transition, and into the White House. wired.com/story/trump-im…
4) The president's family is potentially in lots of legal trouble. Ivanka and Don Jr.'s fingerprints are all cover Cohen's deals. And there's no way a $300 million project in Moscow is proceeding without them. wired.com/story/trump-im…
5) Trump's incoming attorney general already said this behavior is a crime, two days before it became public. wired.com/story/trump-im…
6) Trump's defense team is rattled. The president’s TV lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, tried unsuccessfully to move the goalposts of the investigation this week. The way he did so seems to indicate there's more to come. Stay tuned.... wired.com/story/trump-im…
We end the week where we began: Only two scenarios left—neither of them is good. And the President better hope there's evidence he's a Russian agent. Because the only other alternative left is he's a fool. wired.com/story/presiden…
