“[T]he investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.”

I #FOIA-d only the completed sentence.

Treating this as requesting Mueller's report, DOJ calls it "complex."
Does @TheJusticeDept read the #FOIA requests that it receives?
I thought that perhaps narrowing my search to a fragment of a sentence of an identified document would be narrow and targeted enough for expeditious processing.

Perhaps not.

"While it remains unknown whether Manning and Assange were successful in cracking the password, a follow-up message from Assange to Manning on March 10, 2010, reflects that Assange was actively trying to crack the password pursuant to their agreement."

- FBI affidavit ⬇️
A few observations about the affidavit:

* It's dated December 2017, pre-indictment, seeking arrest warrant and criminal complaint.
* Appears to be based mostly (if not wholly) on Manning-"NF" chat logs that have been publicly known since 2011
* FBI: "NF"=Assange
Prosecutors have long believed "NF" to be an Assange pseudonym in these chats, short for "Nathaniel Frank."

The full affidavit here, h/t @SeamusHughes: assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5911…

Good afternoon from New York.

The hearing of #MAGABomber Cesar Sayoc is about to begin. Sayoc is trying to walk back his guilty pleas from March, when he admitted that he knew the 16 pipe bombs he mailed could have hurt people.

Previously: courthousenews.com/magabomber-ces…
Sayoc admits that he mailed the packages, but in two handwritten messages from jail, he now disputes this statement he made: "I was aware of the risk that it would explode."

Pictured: His scrawled edits rewriting what he said.

I'll be covering this hearing live.
"All rise."

The hearing begins. The attorneys identify themselves.

Bernie’s campaign manager Faiz Shakir used to be an editor at ThinkProgress, which published the articles this letter is complaining about.

Is he suggesting that ThinkProgress is a mouthpiece of CAP, or even more to the point, should be ideologically corrected by it?
To be clear, I’m not commenting here on CAP, ThinkProgress or the Bernie campaign, whatever views anyone holds about them institutionally.

The premise of this letter, however, seems to be not only that CAP calls the shots at ThinkProgress, but that it should, more favorably.
That’s... not how firewalls work.

Here are 20+ reasons that context + facts matter. If any of these are wrong, they can release the report and clear it all up.
[At first,] [T]he investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.
(h/t @TheF0RCE for that one)
[Trump says] [T]he investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.

Real Mueller Report #2
I shudder to think what would become of the US if 'the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.'

#RealMuellerReport #3
After we obtained a sealed indictment for treason we were unconcerned if, in the future, 'the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.'
#RealMuellerReport #4
We had to conceal our findings from POTUS. AG Barr devised a plan to report that 'the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.'

1. I have a distinct recollection from perhaps year or more ago, Mueller announced he was only going to issue a report on obstruction. I agreed. I believe that crimes committed while President should only be reported to congress. Immunity isn't just Barr's crazy theory. It exists
2. in many presidential contexts. Addressing its application is, in part, a political question not appropriate for the district court to sort out. That's Congress' job. But crimes committed before inauguration are different.
3. As I mentioned, I was left with the impression Mueller would charge those crimes.

So what did Barr say about Russia? He said that he did not find that Trump or people associated with the campaign, "conspired or coordinated with Russia..." But Mueller was tasked with more. Page from Barr letter on Russia with yellow highlighting

Thread: Don’t Believe the Democrat and Media Spin on the Mueller Report!

1. For over two years, we have heard elected Democrats and their legacy media allies screaming that @POTUS “colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election from the sainted Shillary.”
2. [“Sainted Shrillary”: is that the most ridiculous oxymoron you’ve ever seen? If anything, she’s a disciple of the Devil given all the felonies she’s gotten away with (so far)!]
3. Elected Democrats like Schiff, Swalwell, Lieu, Blumenthal, Cummings, Nadler, and a host of others have INSISTED multiple times in public statements and television interviews that there was a “mountain of evidence proving Trump was a traitor” and/or a Putin puppet.

98 words.

That's how much of the 1,670-word Barr Letter was taken verbatim from the Mueller Report -- or about 6% of the total.

The other 94% is either Barr's analysis or explanatory throat-clearing.

For posterity's sake, it's worth cataloging the Mueller quotes. /THREAD
There are only eight instances where Barr quotes directly from the Mueller Report. Quotes in ALL CAPS.

1. On Friday, the Special Counsel submitted to me a “CONFIDENTIAL REPORT EXPLAINING THE PROSECUTION OR DECLINATION DECISIONS” he has reached, as required by 28 C.F.R. 600.8(c).
2. This report is entitled “REPORT ON THE INVESTIGATION INTO RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE IN THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.”
