If you don't feel like going to bed, pour yourself a drink and read Michael Cohen's twenty-page testimony right here.

int.nyt.com/data/documenth…
Perhaps the most hilarious of the documents that Michael Cohen intends to reveal tomorrow:
One thing I've learned tonight: Michael Cohen's middle name is "Dean." Which is clearly an homage to @JohnWDean, planned by his parents in 1966 based on a premonition about the role John Dean would play in Nixon's downfall seven years later. Right?
This tracks the reporting by @MichaelWolffNYC and many others: the notion that Trump didn't think he'd win, and didn't think he'd win.
WikiLeaks tells Stone they're gonna dump docs on HRC. Stone calls Trump, who turns on the speakerphone so Cohen can listen. Cohen decides to tell Congress, releases written testimony. I tweet screenshot from PDF. You read tweet. Now, the baton's in your hands.
Takeaways from this bit:
1. Trump is a doer of crimes
2. The pen used by the president to sign the hush money checks definitely belongs in a museum
Ouch.
One fun thing: throughout, Cohen never refers to Rudy by name. He just calls him Trump's "TV lawyer."

Okay. Good night, Twitter!

Last push canvass training. #VOTE
I’m hearing that Dans County is at 2x its packet goal! Volunteers are out in force. Three hours left to get out every last vote.
The @swingleft team is having its retreat here in Wisconsin this week, which is exactly the right place at the right time. This afternoon, they’re all out on doors. Walking the walk!

Out canvassing for @JudgeNeubauer in Sheboygan! If all of us on the doors do our jobs as well as she’s been doing on the bench and on the campaign trail, she’ll be elected to the WI Supreme Court tomorrow. Got an hour? Go knock a packet.
The amazing thing about canvassing for spring elections is how many conversations you have with people who definitely wouldn’t have voted if you hadn’t knocked on their door. Just informed two great folks that there’s an election tomorrow. Now they’ve got a plan to vote.
Dos and Don’ts for canvassing with the @SheboyganDems:
- do knock every door on your list
- do ask if we can count on their vote
- do not take the red pill

The place to be tonight!
The Brown County Democratic Party is the rare county party that owns its own building, right here in Green Bay, Wisconsin. At their monthly meetings, it’s packed full of people.
An extremely Wisconsin fundraiser.

Michael Cohen Testimony to Congress Oversight Committee 2/27/19

"He was a presidential candidate who knew that Roger Stone was talking
with Julian Assange about a WikiLeaks drop of Democratic National
Committee emails."
A copy of a check Mr. Trump wrote from his personal bank
account – after he became president - to reimburse me for the
hush money payments I made to cover up his affair with an adult
film star and prevent damage to his campaign;
• Copies of financial statements for 2011 – 2013 that he gave to
such institutions as Deutsche Bank;

#BREAKING

Michael Cohen’s prepared statement has been released

int.nyt.com/data/documenth…
“A lot of people have asked me about whether Mr. Trump knew about the release of the hacked Democratic National Committee emails ahead of time. The answer is yes.”

int.nyt.com/data/documenth…
Despite their lack of legal importance, Trump will likely react strongly to Michael Cohen’s testimony about Trump’s grades and SAT scores because of the narcissistic injury.

Note also the validation of our observing Trump’s frequent use of projection:

We looked at so many companies — dozens — for this story on precise location data being collected from apps. I'd like to give you some more information on a few of them, in no particular order. It's a THREAD. 1/ nytimes.com/interactive/20…
First up: Fysical (fysical.org). They do a location data exchange on the blockchain, which I know will be of interest to some of my followers. They say they ingest more than 15 billion data points a month. Here's a nerdy white paper on it: view.attach.io/SJm3DCJPG 2/
And Foursquare. You may be familiar with using them to "check in" to places. But as that business slowed, they moved into location marketing and now get data from many other apps users have opted to share location with. Here's a good overview: venturebeat.com/2018/10/02/fou… 3/

What are the key takeaways from the #Flynn sentencing memo and “addendum”?

One, thank goodness for a free press. @IgnatiusPost’s investigative work is cited, and a “Face the Nation” episode.

Read the "addendum" here: int.nyt.com/data/documenth… or below⬇
Two, Flynn assisted a criminal investigation that is completely redacted, so presumably not a known criminal investigation. There may be something else going on...
Three, “investigations in which he provided assistance are ongoing.”
Maybe the end is not so in sight as some suggest.

#Breaking THERMONUCLEAIRE… #Cohen, l'ex-avocat de #Trump, signe 1 nouveau plaider coupable et accord de coopération avec le procureur spécial #Mueller où il avoue avoir menti aux commissions parlementaires SUR LA COLLUSION AVEC LA #RUSSIE... RT+1M
2) #Breaking Cohen a donc menti sur le fameux projet de #Trump Tower à Moscou qu'il avait toujours affirmé comme défunt à partir de janvier 2016 et du début des primaires républicaines. C'était donc faux... washingtonpost.com/politics/micha…
3) Pour mémoire, #Trump a TOUJOURS affirmé ne jamais avoir eu d'intérêts commerciaux et financiers avec la #Russie de #Poutine (ici en janvier 2017 #àvoir). Le plaider coupable de #Cohen semble indiquer...que c'est faux. cnbc.com/video/2017/01/…
