Chris Christie, fresh off his embroilment in the Mueller Report, is in more hot water. The former aide he scapegoated for "Bridge-gate," Bridget Anne Kelly, says he knew about the scandal all along and lied about it
Trump was right:
Kelly says Christie was a "bully" -- he threw a water bottle at her, screamed at her, etc. I can attest to this characterization. While reporting this piece, Christie essentially roused a crowd of supporters to run me off the Jersey Shore boardwalk vice.com/en_ca/article/…
Christie will probably be in the running for various Trump Administration positions in the future (he was recently offered Chief of Staff) so this stuff is still very much relevant

Marcy Wheeler, also known as @emptywheel, appeared on a panel today at Columbia University and shed additional light on her decision to voluntarily hand over a source to the FBI. I was so honored to be able to ask her a question. Here's the exchange:
I also thought it was notable that Marcy disclosed she has "ties, certainly, in the Democratic Party." I'm curious about the full nature and scope of those "ties"
I can post the full discussion if people want (though I think Columbia will be posting it at some point). I still find it incredible that @keithgessen, moderating a panel about journalism in the era of Trump/Russia, failed to ask Ben Smith about the debunked Michael Cohen story

In a triumph for US political discourse, @benjaminwittes and I were able to convert our prior Twitter rancor into a productive conversation about the Mueller Report, collusion, the media, and where we differ on those subjects. It was pretty interesting! patreon.com/posts/26649926
In all seriousness, there have been vanishingly few good faith discussions between "Russia collusion skeptics," roughly speaking (like me) and "Russia collusion proponents," roughly speaking (like Wittes). So in that sense, doing this was really healthy and I appreciated it.
I'd also like to point out that despite our sizable differences, Wittes and I both agree that Mueller *did* in fact investigate collusion, which you can apprehend by reading Page 180 in Volume I of the Mueller Report. So, Twitter nitwits can put that in their pipe and smoke it

Tulsi receives another unusual endorsement: from Ron Paul. "Tulsi Gabbard is by far the very, very best," he says
You can discount this but Ron Paul came in third in the 2012 GOP New Hampshire primary. There is no party registration required in NH. And there will likely be no contested GOP race. So libertarians, independents, and assorted others could easily vote for Tulsi
I interviewed Ron Paul in 2017 and he praised Tulsi as "heroic"

1/ As with the Election, SOMEONE OVERPLAYED THEIR HAND . SOMEone with private access to inside information told the “in crowd,” they were going to win. Assured them they had this one in the bag. The Mueller Report (w/ Sekulow & Giuliani )reported complete vindication: after 40
2/ FOIA LAWSUITS, 19 lawyers, 2800 sub-trial attorney’s, 230 committee records, 500 witnesses, unknown numbers of pen registers (registers of who called whom) “no servers were destroyed, phone records destroyed: no collusion, no conspiracy, nothing INDICTABLE.”
3/ #Mueller ‘s offices will finally be closed. Per @TomFitton “Congress can still impeach Obama,” & Hillary could be brought upon charges. Nadler & Mad Max confirm their harassment will continue. (Shhh. Hari Kari is an empty threat these days.)

Tucked away in this article is a highly significant revelation (no doubt made inadvertently) by two anonymous DOJ officials. 1/10 tinyurl.com/y696fjj7
I have argued for a long time that the question to ask about when the MUELLER REPORT will be submitted and released is not: “When will Mueller have ALL the evidence he could obtain?” 2/10
The appropriate question is: “When will #Mueller have ENOUGH evidence?”--that is, enough evidence for Congress to proceed with impeaching Trump and removing him from office and indicting people for campaign collusion. 3/10

Here’s another reason to think that the #MUELLER REPORT is going to be devastating for Trump. 1/10
So far no member of Trump’s family has been indicted, including Don Jr., even though Don Jr (according to all reliable reporting) lied his *** off behind closed doors in Congressional hearings. 2/10
And Don Jr. hasn’t been questioned by Team Mueller, which legal experts say is ominous for him, as it is a sign he is a target. 3/10

What happened to the #Mueller hype?
What happened to the Mueller will take down #POTUS threats [@JohnBrennan]?
Was MUELLER the 'insurance' policy aka #BLOCKADE designed to limit/restrict POTUS' ability to enforce the law?
[#TRAITORS]
"complexities, opaqueness & length of counterintel investigations, I’d be surprised if #Mueller was able to uncover breadth of this #conspiracy. More digging will have to be done. But there’ll be crimes. & we better get to see them://t.co/seYfCs0d6q
"A concise #Mueller report would mark the end of the beginning, not the beginning of the end, argues @neal_katyal"

As I’ve opined before:

Qn: When will #Mueller issue his report(s)?

Answer: As soon as he has a case strong enough to take down Trump.

It’s all about Trump at this point. 1/3
So my opinion, FWIW: If Mueller submits a report soon, that can only be good news. Two possibilities:

1) It could be an obstruction of justice report only--but still devastating for Trump politically. (A report documenting conspiracy would come later.) 2/3
2) But if Mueller submits a report soon that includes conspiracy, that would mean he has an airtight case now for impeachment. After the Mueller report, others in the DOJ and FBI would follow through on all the messy details--a mopping up operation that could take years. 3/3

.@HallieJackson @maddow on #Mueller report. I distinctly recall OSC said report was to be limited to obstruction. Obstruction was clear but what I think is coming & US AG has no say: NY State computer fraud, kidnapping & money laundering charges.

IMO Mueller charges treason.
I had noticed an artifact in both Russian related Mueller cases. The Russian Defendants viewed their actions as making war on US. If defendants agreed to that conspiracy, IMO, they violated the first clause of 18 USC 2381: "levies war against [the United States]."
To make a case I'd want evidence Trump & crew knew that was Russians' goal. Perhaps intercepts will prove Trump knew it. If so @Trump will face impeachment on treason charges plus 32 states have treason statutes. @realDonaldTrump needs to cut a deal for immunity & resign. Soon.
