Meanwhile, the DC Circuit has finally ruled in Andrew Miller's challenge to Mueller's subpoena authority. Mueller wins.
The 3-judge panel opinion was unanimous, holding that the special counsel is an inferior officer, meaning does not need to be nominated by POTUS and confirmed by the Senate, and DAG Rosenstein was acting AG on the matter for which Sessions had recused, so could appoint Mueller.
Not sure why it took this long, but, OK.
Here is @ZoeTillman’s report on the DC Circuit ruling in former Roger Stone associate Andrew Miller’s case —> buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

So, as they say, some personal news ...
Y’all — like everyone at @BuzzFeedNews earlier today — are going to make me cry. As I wrote, I have loved the past 7 years beyond belief and am going to enjoy closing out my time there with such fantastic co-workers. ... Then, we can talk about what’s next for me.
Everyone’s kind words tonight, though, are truly appreciated. Thank you. ... I’m headed to Knoxville in the morning for Henry’s birthday, however, so, for now, it’s bed time for me. ... Night, all, and let us try to be good to one another — and ourselves.

Apparently, everyone on the internet was surprised by the name Matthew Calamari coming up today at the Cohen hearing, and I was like, “Yes.”

Y’all should read @BuzzFeedNews.

#SCOTUS, Feb. 27, 2019. Today: The cross case.
“Do not take down the cross,” a man who has been detained yelled. He added to tell the justices: “Unless they repent, they will burn in hell” for allowing abortions.
(This just happened in the basement of the Supreme Court.)

Andrew Miller loses his DC Circuit appeal and is obliged to testify before Mueller’s grand jury. (He can try to go to SCOTUS, but it seems like a long shot.)
Here’s the DC Circuit panel’s opinion deciding Andrew Miller’s appeal in favor of the Mueller team: cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/opini…

💥💥💥#Mueller: #Russians leaked files to "discredit"? #Concord & #Kavanaugh connection, A thread. 👇

1. Note the date: the confidential files with evidence were leaked in October 2018.
2. The Twitter account has been removed. It's old news. There is nothing discrediting to Mueller's investigation in the fact that the Russians stole the files. If anything, it confirms that, yes, Russians hack.

Seems like a thread on recent US practice w/r/t criminal prosecution of foreign sovereign entities might be of interest. @S_R_Anders @YesMomsCan @jedshug @ZoeTillman @lrozen @nycsouthpaw @kpolantz #Mueller #subpoena 1/19
For non-lawyers: to “quash” a subpoena, the recipient (defendant or witness) must show that compliance would be “unreasonable or oppressive.” A court can hold in contempt a witness “who, without adequate cause, disobeys a subpoena.” 2/19 law.cornell.edu/rules/frcrmp/r…
Yesterday’s panel opinion upholding the subpoena and the contempt order rejected the foreign state-owned company’s arguments that it was 1) immune from US jurisdiction and 2) precluded from complying by foreign law. 3/19 lawfare.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/staging/2018/3…

1. Big decode: “#StealthBombers and #StupidQuestions”: @POTUS just gave us a hint! Abby Phillips asks, “Do you expect Whittaker to rein in the #Mueller probe?” He replies, “That is such a stupid question.” Mueller is the #StealthBomber!!! Here’s why:
2. First, news is, #Mueller’s ready with some indictments. Take it from the #FakeNews publication with the most executive resignations, whose office was raided by the Manhattan district attorney’s office. #Newsweek They ought ya know about indictments, right??
