1-As the Jr subpoena story shakes out we're finding out that Burr was negotiating w him to talk to Judiciary for wks, & since Jr can't plead 5th on something he was cleared of by Mueller w/o EXTREME consequences, he's been waffling, hence the subpoena.
2- If Jr pleads the 5th re perjury (which with Congress is what he'd have to do) he will seriously incriminate himself. It's complicated & serious, and Jr cannot sustain this without some fallout. That's why the GOP are upset.
3-Jr lied to Congress @ the RU meeting in 6/16 & Burr now has him in a corner. Could be a distraction, could be Burr's thinking @ his place in history now that he's retiring-either way, Jr's essentially busted.

4-At this point it's clear that Jr knew that this subpoena was a possibility & just didn't think Burr would do it. He's just one in a LONG line of Mueller witnesses (including Trump Fam members) who were asked to speak to Judiciary since the report release & have. Jr has refused.
5-As the GOP menaces Sen. Burr, he says that he has NO PLANS to revoke Junior's subpoena. #FridayFeeling

I heard someone say last night that Giuliani "can go have a beer now, he doesn't even have to go to Ukraine after all this press", and look at THIS! Old Rudy has cancelled his trip!!! GO FIGURE! #SaturdayMorning #SaturdayMotivation #Ukraine thehill.com/homenews/admin…
2-It appears that Rudy didn't realize that the new President of UK is NOT Trump's buddy, maybe that UK & RU aren't best friends after all, UNTIL the Dem press about it.. what an idiot! "I think I'm walking into a group of people that are enemies of the President, in some cases
3-"enemies of the United States and, in one case, an already convicted person who has been found to be involved in assisting the Democrats with the 2016 election," Giuliani said, without clarifying to whom he was referring." ~TheHill

Breaking: NYT reporting that acc to 2 people briefed on the subject, twice in the past month the WH have asked Don McGahn to say that he never believed that Trump obstructed justice.
Developing story. #FridayFeeling
nytimes.com/2019/05/10/us/…
2-"Mr. McGahn, who was the president’s first White House counsel, declined, one of the people said. His reluctance angered Mr. Trump, who believed that Mr. McGahn showed disloyalty by telling investigators for the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, about Mr.
3-"Trump’s attempts to maintain control over the Russia investigation. The White House made one of the requests to Mr. McGahn’s lawyer, William A. Burck, before the Mueller report was released publicly but after the Justice Department gave a copy to Mr. Trump’s lawyers to read.

"That process [Impeachment] is powerful. It's so powerful that the bullshit is flying in terms of whether or not to use it..." This is an EXCELLENT blog post from @bfbuschi @ Impeachment. I highly recommend you all read this. #FridayThoughts brendanbuschi.blogspot.com/2019/05/using-…
2-"So here's what I base my case for "impeach now" on. First it's the sworn duty of every person in the House to support and defend the Constitution. Anyone who doubts that we are in the worst Constitutional crisis since the Civil War is a fool and should be ignored.
3-"What can I say? Ignore fools. Second, the Constitution contains/proscribes the remedy for protecting the Constitution in these circumstances. The members of the House need to do their jobs...Democrats arguing against impeachment may not be telling the truth.

Until now, the only SEO space where AMP was kind of "mandatory" was on news: if you want to appear on the "Top stories" box, you kind of need to have your articles to use AMP. You can appear there withouth AMP, but you don't get the same visual benefits #AMP #SEO .
Now Google is bringing "Stories" (like Instagram Stories, Snapchat Stories, etc.) to search results. They just announced it at #ampconf (see ) #AMP #SEO
This means that for certain kind of queries (by now: travel, and later also gaming, movies, tv and fashion) the first result will get another "special box" called "Visual Stories" where you can only appear using not only AMP, but AMP stories #AMP #SEO

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.)

The investigations have ALWAYS been about TRUMP. Doh!

Note that Trump (apparently) has never been TOLD that he has been under investigation (though he has asked repeatedly whether he was).

So this raises the question: Why was this leaked NOW?

Operation Crossfire Hurricane was opened by the FBI in late July 2016. 2/5
Crossfire was (or quickly became) a basket of investigations that targeted Page, Papadopoulos, Manafort, and Flynn. These four were part of TRUMP’s campaign. Trump’s campaign statements and prior history with Russia pre-campaign were also suspect. 3/5

Seems like a thread on recent US practice w/r/t criminal prosecution of foreign sovereign entities might be of interest. @S_R_Anders @YesMomsCan @jedshug @ZoeTillman @lrozen @nycsouthpaw @kpolantz #Mueller #subpoena 1/19
For non-lawyers: to “quash” a subpoena, the recipient (defendant or witness) must show that compliance would be “unreasonable or oppressive.” A court can hold in contempt a witness “who, without adequate cause, disobeys a subpoena.” 2/19 law.cornell.edu/rules/frcrmp/r…
Yesterday’s panel opinion upholding the subpoena and the contempt order rejected the foreign state-owned company’s arguments that it was 1) immune from US jurisdiction and 2) precluded from complying by foreign law. 3/19 lawfare.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/staging/2018/3…

Conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi in plea negotiations with Mueller, which could shed light on whether Trump or his advisers were linked to WikiLeaks’ release of hacked Democratic emails in 2016 washingtonpost.com/politics/stone…
"Word is friend in embassy plans 2 more dumps. One shortly after I'm back. 2nd in Oct. Impact planned to be very damaging."

Corsi informed Stone about the planned WikiLeaks Dem email releases 2 months in advance.

And Mueller has the exchange. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"Stone responded, "Get to (Assange) [a]t Ecuadorian Embassy in London and get the pending (WikiLeaks) emails."

Corsi passed the request along to conservative author Ted Malloch in London"

“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.
