OK, so I'm going to tell you all something very strange: yesterday I got a phone call from a number that traces to Carter Page. Everything checks out: name, middle name, age of # owner, hometown of # owner, current city of # owner. Either it was Page or someone who has his # now.
1/ To answer the obvious follow-up question: no, I *don't* know what he or someone with his phone number was calling me about, because I missed the call. That said, it's true that I've been contacted at various points by several different witnesses connected to the Mueller probe.
2/ People are pointing out that it could've been someone spoofing his number somehow (not sure why), and I'm totally open to that tedious possibility. But as I said, a surprising number of Mueller witnesses *have* actually reached out to me before, so I'd say anything's possible.

*FACTS*

(1) The part of Barr's letter summarizing Mueller's summary of his case file is 2 pages. The case file itself may be over 1 million pages.

(2) Mueller's summary of his case file is ~400 pages in narrative alone—with addendum pages numbering in the hundreds or thousands.
1/ I mention these facts because we keep hearing erroneous reporting to the effect that Barr's summary of Mueller's summary of his case file was 4 pages, and the *entirety* of Mueller's report is 300 pages. Both figures are wrong—*and* ignore the size of the case file completely.
2/ I don't know why it's hard for media to report page lengths. I do know the erroneous reporting makes Barr's summary 1.3% of the size of the "entire" Mueller Report, when in fact it's at best 0.5% and—if you consider addenda—a fraction of 0.1%. Plus there's the whole case file.

I'm glad that @NBCNews and @SteveKrak are acknowledging the popularity of this feed, but sad that they've missed the point virtually no reader of the feed has: this is not an activism feed, this is a pedagogical feed. I'm a professor and attorney trying to explain a complex case.
There's a regressive view some have that there's a single right way to participate online. You can tweet—but don't write books! You can be a legal analyst—but don't also be a poet! You can support progressive causes—but don't have your feed be anything but calls to action! C'mon.
One reason I've consistently said I'm not a member of the #Resistance—and designate articles saying otherwise poorly researched hitpieces (which they always are)—is because I don't think me using my skills and knowledge to promote my long-held values is me being in a "movement."

For those who think it was Iranians—not MBS or MBZ—who hacked Netanyahu's rival's phone, listen to HAARETZ: "It is also possible that other players with an interest in [Gantz] could have done so, masquerading behind an 'Iranian signature.'" I do fear Israeli voters are being had.
1/ The Iranians have nothing to gain by weakening Gantz. Meanwhile, MBS has Pegasus 3 phone-hacking technology from Netanyahu allies, and has everything to gain by ensuring that Netanyahu, who recently said he wants war with Iran, to stay in power in Israel. I smell dirty tricks.
2/ We just learned that MBS and the Saudis used their Israeli hacking technology to get seminude photos and intimate texts from Jeff Bezo's phone, showing exactly how they operate when they or a rival of any of their "grand bargain" co-conspirators (here, Trump) are under threat.

OK so I'm going to attempt to explain something that made the difference between PoS and PoW very clear to me. It's pretty beautiful, imo. I'm going to explain it at a very simple level so please bear with me if you already know the basics of how BTC and PoW work
This started when I wondered why BTC's difficulty adjustment mechanism is so slow. In BTC, every 2 wks the difficulty (the amount of hashing power you need to find valid nonces and create blocks) is adjusted, but it can't go down to more than 1/4 of the previous period's diff.
Some people worry that this could mean if hashpower drastically drops off, the BTC blockchain would be very slow to create blocks, and couldn't rapidly adjust to the new level of hashpower. I was curious why Satoshi would do things this way.

Something very strange happened in Broward County.
I've never seen a top-of-the-ticket U.S. Senate race get fewer votes than EVERY OTHER statewide election.

So more voters wanted to weigh in on governor AND attorney general AND state CFO AND agriculture commissioner?
How can the US Senate race have MORE votes statewide than the three Florida Cabinet races but FEWER votes in Broward?

The likely culprits: either poor ballot design (Sen race was tucked below instructions near the bottom corner of the first of many pages) or tabulation error
Though there are issues in Broward, we can't say it cost Sen Nelson the race

Nelson's trailing by 17,344 votes (.021%) statewide

BUT IF the Brow gov race totals were applied to the Sen race but vote share remained constant, Nelson trails by 7,483 (0.09%)

So this is big

BEFORE THE STORY STARTS: there will be polls scattered throughout the story. Most will have a good choice and a bad one and others may be simple things like who the next character you want is.

Phone call from unrecognized number:
X: "Hi, we are CREDIT CARD COMPANY X FRAUD DEPARTMENT. We'd like you to verify some information."
ME: "Are you kidding me? You're training your customers to fall for scams?!? Nobody should give out info in response to random call."
X: "Oh."
There was also the time DCCC was providing security advice to campaigns... by sending them attachments. 🙄washingtonpost.com/outlook/2018/0…
I also like those "click here to enroll in XYZ" emails from credit cards. Training customers to fall for phishing.

1) ⚠️CALLING ALL DIGGERS⚠️

Child Trafficking Front or Cash Scandal?

I have been digging into something and could use assistance, as I am working on a big Clinton story right now. But this is important.
2) I came across this company while researching something else awhile back and something about it raised the hairs on the back of my neck. So I dug. I am going to share my findings and hope that you will continue this dig. I believe it could be very important.
3) The company: ABC Nanny Source LLC

Locations in VA, MD, DC, PA, NJ, DE, CT, NY

Family-owned, though they don’t list the name of the family

In business for 12 years
