Adam Schiff says he will make a criminal referral of Trump ally Erik Prince for possible perjury, based on his testimony to the House Intelligence Committee. Schiff's lawyer replies, essentially, Mueller had his chance to indict, and he didn't. washingtonpost.com/politics/schif…
I wrote about this possibility a few days ago w/ @karoun. Of note, Prince spoke to Mueller under a proffer agreement, which suggests Prince may have believed he could be charged with crimes. washingtonpost.com/world/national…
Prince's lawyer maintains there "is no new evidence here," and that Prince "cooperated completely" with Mueller. But he doesn't mention the proffer agreement, the terms of which aren't public.
Correction: Prince's lawyer says Mueller had his chance to indict.

New: Our deep dive on the “enigma” at the center of the Mueller probe, Maltese professor Joseph Mifsud. Trump allies claim he’s a Western intelligence agent. But we found lots of signs that point to Russia. W/ ⁦@PostRoz⁩ and ⁦@nakashimae⁩ washingtonpost.com/politics/the-e…
Officials familiar with U.S. intelligence reports told The Post that Mifsud had been identified by intelligence agencies as a potential Russian agent before he met Papadopoulos, an assessment drawn from reporting collected over several years.
That runs counter to the theory espoused by Trump allies like Devin Nunes and Rudy Giuliani, who has said, without offering evidence, that Mifsud was a “counterintelligence operative, either Maltese or Italian,” who took part a “counterintelligence trap.”

Trump's description of the near-strike on Iran, and his decision to pull back, doesn't square with accounts from his own officials. washingtonpost.com/world/middle_e… by @John_Hudson, @missy_ryan, @erinmcunningham and co.
Trump tweeted that he called off the op w/ minutes to go after learning 150 people might die. But "officials said Trump was told earlier Thursday how many casualties could occur...and that he had given the green light to prepare for the operation Thursday morning."
This is a crucial point. As many analysts and observers have noted today, it seemed inconceivable that the military would not have told Trump casualty estimates until minutes before the strike. That info is conveyed in advance, so the president can factor it into his decision.

New: Trump, frustrated by advisers, is not convinced the time is right to attack Iran. Lots of bylines on this one, including ⁦@John_Hudson⁩, ⁦@agearan⁩, and ⁦@jdawsey1⁩ washingtonpost.com/world/national…
Bolton and Pompeo out on a limb: “They are getting way out ahead of themselves, and Trump is annoyed,” the official said. “There was a scramble for Bolton and Pompeo and others to get on the same page.”
New details from @missy_ryan on how the Pentagon sees the unfolding crisis in Iran: “Military officials have described themselves as torn between their desire to avoid open confrontation with Iran and their concern about the recent intelligence.”

.@mehdirhasan absolutely nails Erik Prince on the August 3, 2016 meeting at Trump Tower with George Nader, Joel Zamel, Don Jr and Stephen Miller, which Prince conveniently omitted from his HPSCI testimony
(NYT story on the meeting )
Journalism at its finest: direct, prepared, persistent.

Did Blackwater’s Erik Prince lie to Congress about a Trump Tower meeting during the 2016 campaign? @mehdirhasan asked him (with video of full interview) interc.pt/2Cd5ql6
Erik Prince's perjured testimony before the House Intelligence Committee, November 30, 2017.

💧Deluge💧

Big Picture TOC:

‘The whole mess of RU hacking, CA, the Trump & Leave Campaigns was not only a coup but an unprecedented shorting of the market through mass manipulation of the electorate w/ the aim of controlling not only geopolitics but the financial markets too’
💧Deluge2💧

Mueller’s RU probe will reach a “wild” level over the next couple of months, said Mark Warner

Court docs allegeTrump SoHo condominiums in the building were purchased using funds linked to a massive fraud case in the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan.
💧Deluge3💧

Mueller nabs E. Prince's phones, computer & is said to be cooperating.

What does the British gov’t know about 45 & RU? Quite a lot, actually!

For the UK the choice over whether to back Mueller & the rule of law or the thug Putin & TOC, the choice is a no brainer.

One ex Erik Prince assoc told Mueller investigators about Prince's undisclosed alliance w/ Dimitriy Streshinskiy, a former Russian special forces soldier turned arms dealer who helped Prince try & secure a possibly illegal contract w/ Azerbaijan.
#Maddow
