1. I disagree with the Mueller assessment of whether he could charge 52 USC 30121 for the June 9 meeting. He doesn't address the issue of accepting a foreign contribution. He focuses of value and that is according to his own authority supported by anything of value. He focuses on

2. the inability to prove "willfulness." Noting that the participants were not sophisticated, even Manafort. That just seems wrong. But I think this is not over. Mueller says he doesn't have "admissible evidence" to support a charge of willfulness. He does not say what evidence

3. he does have. I presume there are 702FISA intercepts that evidence this. But DOJ will never try to admit those. They need a live witness and I think I know who it is. On the left is the relevant page from the index. Look at page 190 section c. iv. "Analysis as to HOM"

4. Here is the page (190) where that reference appears with my guess of redacted text. It's Stone. And here is the important thing for @SpeakerPelosi @RepJerryNadler @RepAdamSchiff & @MarkWarner. Congress can use 702FISA for an impeachment and should pursue obtaining FISA.

5. So why is Barr talking about "spying?" IMO highly likely he's trying to create a predicate to block this information that he is fully aware exists. So what would I do if I were the Mueller prosecutors? I'd turn over evidence to NY state to fry Stone and show him the interiors

6. at Sing Sing to teach him how to sing. 😎@maddow @Lawrence @MaddowBlog

So much On Going Investigation this is just Chapter 1 of a a multi-chapter Trump crime story. Call @NSAGov in House Intel with the intercepts. It will be game over for the Donald.
