BREAKING: Now we know why Rosenstein—a pro-Trump witness in the obstruction probe targeting Trump—never recused himself from overseeing the Mueller probe when he should have and weighed in on obstruction when he shouldn't have: he told Trump he was on his team and would help him.
1/ You can't blame America for concluding the following: Trump is corrupt. Barr is corrupt. Rosenstein is corrupt. Nunes is corrupt. Whitaker was corrupt. McConnell is corrupt. Graham is corrupt. All White House staff are corrupt. Everyone we were supposed to trust—we *couldn't*.
2/ @AriMelber makes a great point: Rosenstein secretly and unethically telling Trump he wasn't a target, and that he would "land the plane [of the Mueller probe]" for him, is quite possibly what gave Trump the backbone to refuse to conduct any face-to-face interview with Mueller.

Wohl's dad is a Trump surrogate and he pushed this; Wohl is a criminal who should be in jail; and we should be linking these events to Trump—as these men are in his circle and he won't disavow them. Trump's oeuvre is CRIME and HOAXES and somehow America still hasn't awoken to it.
1/ I'm exhausted responding to stories like this, as anyone acting in good faith knows—and is saying—that Trump accuses his enemies of everything he and his crew do (including crime and "fake news") yet no one in politics will treat his ascendence to power as a genuine emergency.
2/ The chances Trump concocts a scheme to steal the 2020 election is high, and that he and his crew push an affiliated scheme online, even higher: deep fakes, hoaxes, vote-switching, disinformation, voter suppression, contrived crises, who knows what it'll be—but we're not ready.

The Trump campaign's National Security Advisory Committee was a group of high-level lackeys who executed Trump's Middle East and Russian policy agendas for the *real* Trump national security advisers—Flynn, Prince, Simes, Otaiba—who Trump never acknowledged. Why did he hide them?
1/ We keep getting told, even as recently as today in POLITICO, that in March 2016 Trump was *desperate* to put together a national security team that people would *respect*. Okay, so why did jokers like Page and Papadopoulos get *named* but Flynn, Prince, and Simes get *hidden*?
2/ While Kushner was pumping Putin "friend" Dimitri Simes for intel about Russia in the last week of March 2016, Trump was *pretending* that his campaign's advisers on Russia were...guys like Papadopoulos, who'd said during their job interviews they knew little about Russia. Why?

RT has asked me to go on its air *multiple* times. Because it's Kremlin propaganda, I've always refused. Aaron J. Maté (@aaronjmate) had no problem being a Kremlin mouthpiece, however—when the Kremlin came calling, he said "yes" and became its interlocutor for the Mueller Report.
1/ Maté has been a Trump-Russia denier from Day 1—he blocked me on Twitter in 2017, I believe. RT has had him in their scopes for 2 years now, as surely he knew when he agreed to go on its air and transmute his ill-researched cynicism into literal, straight-up Kremlin propaganda.
2/ That YouTube sent 24% of its users to Maté (@aaronjmate) to process the Mueller Report is horrifying. It had hundreds of mainstream takes it could've algorithmically recommended—let alone experts who fully understand the threat the Kremlin poses—but no. washingtonpost.com/technology/201…

BREAKING: Attorney General Jeff Sessions resigns at Trump’s request.

It's happening, Trump is going to attempt to end the Mueller probe. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
wapo.st/2qyyRYL
Lindsey Graham in July 2017: "If Sessions is fired, there will be holy hell to pay."

How long before 2018 Lindsey is appointed Attorney General?
Trump named Matthew Whitaker, Sessions' chief of staff, as acting AG. Whitaker is now set to oversee the Mueller's probe.

Whitaker, once wrote an opinion column before joining the DOJ titled "Mueller's investigation into Trump is going too far." nbcnews.com/politics/white…

I think I understand some of this succession stuff ... for the dummies like me out there: It only matter whether #Rosenstein was fired or resigned for his duties as deputy attorney general.
But he was overseeing the Mueller probe as the acting attorney general (because Sessions had to recuse).
Whoever replaces him as acting deputy attorney general (until Trump appoints someone new) cannot also perform the duties of acting attorney general. No "acting-acting" allowed.

#Breaking BADABOUM thermonucléaire. Au printemps 2016, #Trump Jr a reçu des propositions d'aide pour la campagne de son père des Émirats, d'Arabie saoudite et d'1 compagnie israélienne spécialiste de la manipulation des réseaux sociaux. Il a dit oui.#Mueller le sait. Game changer
2) #Breaking #Trump commence bien sûr sa journée en répondant au scoop du @nytimes d'hier qui lui pose 1 énorme problème (car il compromet encore un peu plus son fils). SON argument: comme #Mueller n'a rien trouvé sur la #Russie, il cherche n'importe quoi.
3) Sur la méthode, c'est très intéressant car hier, immédiatement depuis la publication du @nytimes, on a vu des milliers de comptes pro-#Trump "rôder" et diffuser cet argument: #Mueller n'a rien trouvé sur la #Russie, alors il va chercher Arabie Saoudite, EAU et Israël...

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.

#Breaking badaboum de la nuit US. Hier soir, vers 22h, le ministre de la Justice Sessions a licencié #McCabe l'ancien no.2 du #FBI, ennemi juré de #Trump,accusé de faute professionnelle par 1 rapport de l'inspecteur général Horowitz...26h avant sa retraite.washingtonpost.com/world/national…
2)...et #breaking...le président #Trump a qualifié par tweet ce licenciement EXCEPTIONNEL d'1 haut fonctionnaire du FBI comme 1 grand moment pour la démocratie US. Autrement dit il se réjouit du renvoi d'1 fonctionnaire de carrière pour motif politique.
3) Car ce qui est inédit est que le président #Trump a exigé- et obtenu-du ministère de la Justice de #Sessions l'enquête interne sur #McCabe qu'il ne cessait de persécuter sur Twitter et dans ses déclarations publiques depuis qu'il refusa de désavouer Comey auquel il succéda...
