If it seems odd that Randoms Vander Zwaan, Pineda, and George Papadop were indicted...
And that Michael Cohen was indicted and pled guilty to campaign finance felony...
but his documented co-conspirators were not...
Is that a sign it’s over, or very much ongoing?
If it seems odd that Flynn reportedly was caught texting about a Saudi/Russian nuclear bribery scheme, was caught blatantly lying about Russian contacts, but was recommended no jail time on a silver platter for his cooperation...
Is that a sign it’s over, or very much ongoing?
If it seems odd that Rick Gates committed countless felonies for years, covering a globe of dictators up through an inauguration of bribes...
But his sentencing keeps getting delayed because of his immensely helpful cooperation...
Is that a sign it’s over, or very much ongoing?
If it seems odd that Erik Prince has been shamelessly exposed for lying to Congress about his Aug 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Israelis from Psy Group, Don Jr, & Nader, but hasn’t been charged...
And confessed to that meeting...
Is that a sign it’s over, or very much ongoing?
If Mueller’s team is STILL litigating a subpoena against a mystery foreign state-owned corporation all the way up to the highest court in the land...
And can hand that case off to any number of US Atty offices...

Is that a sign it’s over, or very much ongoing?
If the @NewYorkStateAG just subpoenaed years of records from Deutschebank 2 weeks ago, and they are infamous for 1) money laundering for Russians & 2) being Trump’s only western bank despite 3) Trump constantly lying to them...

Is that a sign it’s over, or very much ongoing?
If Mueller has an established strategy of distributing cases to SDNY (Cohen) & SDNY has a reliable new lead prosecutor (Strauss), & he’s reportedly coordinated with NY officials...
And the Inauguration investigation just started...
Is that a sign it’s over, or very much ongoing?

Of course Roberts flipped his ACA vote in Sebelius 2012. We knew as soon as the Court issued its decision...
Because the opinions had not been corrected to reflect which was the dissent and which was the concurrence!
See my June 2012 thread before I knew how to thread:
2/ Here is the second tweet from my ACA unthreaded thread on the signs of Roberts flipping his vote from the errors in the first slip Sebelius opinion.
(How do we go back and find the original slip opinions before they were corrected?)
3/ A third tweet from 2012 on Roberts’s ACA flip:

The question is NOT whether Barr could read 300 pages and write a letter in 2 days.
For lawyers, historians & many others, that's our regular day job.
It's the opposite problem: He easily could have written _more_.
Why is his letter so short?
Why no Mueller executive summary?
2/ Walsh's Iran-Contra Report and the Starr Report included a 1-page introduction or executive summary:
1) Written concisely, raising no exec privilege or national security concerns.
2) Presented damning conclusions.
My guess is Barr held back the summary because of point #2.
3/ Barr said his letter was to summarize the Mueller report.
Mueller surely summarized his own report at the top, and without including privileged material.
If the executive summary were not damning, then Barr would have included it.
Release the executive summary immediately.

"Mueller surely wrote an executive summary, and it would've been far easier for Barr simply to give Mueller’s summary than to write this letter himself (which is more Barr than Mueller). The question is why Barr didn’t."
Release the executive summary now.

““If the facts are against you, argue the law. If the law is against you, argue the facts. If the law and the facts are against you, pound the table and yell like hell.”
-Carl Sandberg

It’s revealing that Barr argued only the law in his cursory letter. No facts.
2/
3/ By the time we get to see Mueller’s report - which should be sooner than later now that Barr put himself far out on a limb prematurely- there will be plenty of time for Trump to:
“pound the table and yell like hell.”

1) With the recent twist of events regarding the Jussie Smollet case, Chicago's corruption is front and center once again. Many are praising Rahm Emanuel after his great performance in acting as if he had no prior knowledge of the decision made in the Smollet case
2) Emanuel began his political career as the finance director for Illinois Public Action Council (IPAC) in the 1980s. He worked alongside now Congresswoman (1999) Jane Schakowsky, wife of IPAC's founder and Clinton Operative, Robert Creamer. 
motherjones.com/politics/1993/…
3) Creamer got his first starting bid in Community Organizing working with the Citizen Action Program (CAP) of Chicago, which was created by the Industrial Areas Foundation of Saul Alinsky.  The same organization that Obama worked for in the 1980s.

@SidneyPowell1
A few things to remember about #MichaelCohen:
1. He has been represented by #Clinton operative Lanny Davis
2. Not even #Cohen is guilty of the #campaign #finance violations he pleaded guilty to in SD NY--they are not crimes. Prosecutors made them up. @realDonaldTrump
@POTUS
2/ They are absolutely unprecedented -- obviously added for partisan political purposes to smear @realDonaldTrump
3. Cohen is all about Cohen.
4. There are no campaign finance violations here! It's bogus.
@WhiteHouse
@PressSec
3/ 5. #Cohen admitted there is no evidence of collusion.
6. Trump told #Cohen to tell the truth
7. #MichaelCohen was never in Prague so #SteeleDossier is false on that point too
8. There are no tapes for which #Trump could be blackmailed
#Dimms have 00

"An economic miracle is taking place in the US&the only thing that can stop it are foolish wars,politics or ridiculous partisan investigations"

1.Rod Rosenstein (appointed by Trump) called for investigation&appointed Mueller

2.Mueller a lifelong Republican, appointed by R Pres
3. Michael Flynn (Trump's appointee as Natl Security Adviser) pled guilty to serious felony

4. Paul Manafort (head of Trump's campaign) pled guilty to several felonies

5. Michael Cohen (Trump's lawyer) pled guilty to several felonies
6. Gates. Stone. The list goes on...more to come.

Neither ridiculous nor partisan. But IS an investigation. That is the price of living under the Rule of Law.

As I’ve said all along: the $50,000 @Trump Org reimbursed Cohen for *campaign-related work* is a clear-cut #felony.

Unlike paying off a porn star, there’s NO WAY that @realDonaldTrump can use the “John Edwards defense” (that this $50k was for “personal” reasons).😉
A few questions:

👉🏼Did Cohen tape his conversation with Trump about these ILLEGAL acts?
👉🏼Who are the Trump Org executives who knowingly authorized reimbursement for Cohen (other than CFO Weisselberg)? Kremlin🇷🇺Barbie?
👉🏼Why pay via CASH STUFFED IN A BAG?
Lordy, I hope there are tapes that the FBI got when they raided Cohen’s digs.😎

As an early documenter of Manafort’s lobbying & money laundering schemes, I’m now working on a pre-election report on the Mueller probe: What’s in store for Trump, Pence, Kushner and others in the inner circle? How will the probe end? Help support this: gofundme.com/volunteerjourn…
1. (THREAD) Special Counsel Robert Mueller's ongoing probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election is zeroing in on a series of conference calls longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone hosted in 2016 where he predicted Wikileaks "will roil this race".wsj.com/articles/muell…
2. For months, Stone has been predicting his indictment by Mueller. “It is not inconceivable now that Mr. Mueller may seek to conjure up some extraneous crime pertaining to my business, or maybe not even pertaining to the 2016 election.”

Let's examine what those crimes may be:

Senate Democrats seek delay in Kavanaugh hearings, citing Cohen’s guilty plea wapo.st/2Lj1wcb?tid=ss…
2/"Senate Democrats on Wednesday called for delaying confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh in the wake of a guilty plea by Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former attorney, on campaign-finance counts that involve the president. Democrats, who have
