You can read my analysis so far in two ways: In Twitter Threads or on my blog.

(Part II, came unthreaded, but I reconnected it; you have to click an extra time to get back to the thread.)
(3/3) Or if you prefer to read on a blog, the posts are here:

Scroll down for Part I.
TYPO: I'm up to page 360.

(Thread) Reading the Mueller Report, VIII

Sometimes lying and obstructing is a crime.
Sometimes it isn’t.

It’s time for some Fun With Criminal Law.
(That means more IRAC)

---
Part I begins here:
Or here if you prefer blog posts: terikanefield-blog.com/category/muell…
1/ To review, IRAC is a method of legal analysis.

IRAC stands for:
💠Issue
💠Rule
💠Analysis
💠Conclusion

Let’s start with this one:

Issue: Did Trump obstruct justice when he ordered McGahn (WH counsel) to fire Mueller, and then ordered McGahn to lie about it?
2/ For the Rule, we plug in the elements of the crime of obstruction of justice:

💠an obstructive act
💠a nexus between the obstructive act and an official proceeding
💠a corrupt intent.

To get a conviction a prosecutor must prove each element beyond a reasonable doubt.

(Thread) Reading the Mueller Report VII: The Facts

Vol. II lays out the factual findings from the Mueller investigation regarding obstruction of justice.

A few comments about “facts” and “evidence.” Not all evidence is admissible in court.

politico.com/story/2019/04/…
1/ The rules of evidence are intended to screen out unreliable evidence (like hearsay).

There are a few problems with piecing together the story from news reporting—which I did, and lots of others, too. We wanted to connect the dots.
2/ Even when the facts are accurately reported, the evidence may not be admissible in court. (Like double hearsay)

Also, something can look really bad in a news article, but when the source is cross-examined, the “evidence” can fall apart.

(Thread) Reading The Mueller Report VI:
Barr v. Mueller

Part I begins here:


I wasn’t planning to write about Barr or anything extraneous to the Mueller Report as I march through my reading and analysis . . .
1/ But then I read Vol II (Obstruction) pages 1-2, and I have no choice.

I believe these pages of the report can only be read in a wider context.

Shortly after Barr issued his “summary,” I wrote a thread entitled the “Constitutional Showdown."
2/ In that thread, I explained that we were about to enter a showdown over who gets to decide the guilt of the president: Barr (the executive branch) or Congress.

The fight between two branches of government (executive and legislative) could end up being decided in the courts.

1. What's stopping @RepJerryNadler from issuing #Mueller subpoena?
Is it #ExecutivePrivilege? The idea that there is executive privilege over Mueller testifying in congress is beyond absurd. Executive privilege is to protect Presidential communications with advisers.
2. This was a criminal probe of the President. There is no possibility that Executive Privilege attached especially where it's likely he took the 5th. This is a red herring.
3. Grand Jury Rule 6(e)? Barr can easily obtain a waiver from Beryl Howell the DC chief judge. Again nonesense.
National Security? Sure, that's what redactions are for.

This article has provoked a lot of commentary today. Most of the commentary from the the left has been alarmist, though some (like @SethAbramson) have been dismissive. I don’t think either response is appropriate. 1/16
There was every reason to expect that Mueller would go into action again shortly after the election; we didn’t need this article to know that. 2/16

“Cambridge Analytica ...had had the [stolen] Clinton emails more than a month before they were published by WikiLeaks.”

Savor the implications. 🤗

It is fitting that Trump has been forced into retreat by babies. Cruelty should never be mistaken for strength.
‼️Be Smart2‼️

The dystopian Trump Admin is weaponizing gov’t by eviscerating regs that protect the 98% (those w/o money & power), & they’re weaponizing bureaucracy, in order to use it against everyone they don’t like, whether it’s immigrants or poor people or DEMs.

A new RU influence operation has surfaced that mirrors some of the activity of an internet firm that the FBI says was deeply involved in efforts to sway the 2016 U.S. elections, a cybersecurity firm says.

💪A thread on amazing Twitter threads 😍👇
In the process of revamping my #Twitter profile (dormant earlier), I have come to appreciate the wonderful underutilized platform it is!
Some threads contain crisp knowledge capsules that can help many. Starting 1 on such curated content
1. I largely rely on this: threadreaderapp.com to find content
2. What I wish to share is what coincides largely with my interests- #Learning, #Investing, #Behavioralpsychology (#mentalmodels, #bias, etc), #Businessbooks, Industry insights/case studies, Life experiences, etc
3/n
 While it will be difficult to structure the order of content here, I will try to block threads by category (as noted above & more). Feel free to comment with any good thread that you would have come across. Cumulative learning always helps.
