The Mueller report is misleading about what WH Counsel Don McGahn apparently told investigators about Trump’s “Obstruction”

Why? Because Andrew Weissmann is a political hack

THREAD
CONTEXT: White House Counsel Don McGahn’s first interviews with the Special Counsel were on Nov 30 2017 and Dec 1 2017

First reported by @washingtonpost: washingtonpost.com/politics/insid…
NEW: Weissmann likely attended those McGahn interviews, based on his FOIA’d calendar showing him keeping both those exact days free from 9am-6pm at Special Counsel HQ
NEW: Just yesterday, the @nytimes (in a narrative shaping CYA piece) revealed that McGahn told Mueller’s team that he thought Trump “NEVER OBSTRUCTED JUSTICE”...

...yet this was never mentioned in Mueller’s report 🤔 nytimes.com/2019/05/10/us/…
Why would the Mueller report fail to include crucial evidence that McGahn didn’t think Trump obstructed justice?

Maybe because Weissmann was the driving force behind the legally dubious claims of Trump’s “obstruction” in the first place? 🤔

EXCLUSIVE: The "Steele" dossier source who falsely claimed there was a Russian Consulate in Miami was ALSO was a source for the Moscow “pee tape” AND **the key source** alleging an “extensive conspiracy” between the Trump campaign & Russia involving Manafort and Page 🚨

THREAD
Christopher Steele tells State Dept. Official Kathleen Kavalec on Oct 11 2016 that a "human/technical operation run out of Moscow targeting the election" is "hacking" and "recruiting" and "payments to those recruited are made out of the Russian Consulate in Miami"
Kavalec (likely after a cursory search) says "It is important to note there is no Russian Consulate in Miami" 🚨

This is critical to the credibility of Steele's source for this "payments to hackers" allegation: if they're wrong about "Miami" what *else* are they wrong about? 🤔

Let’s look at the latest narrative shaping attempt from the @nytimes

THREAD

“Barr Assigns U.S. Attorney in Connecticut to Review Origins of Russia Inquiry”
nyti.ms/30h9Im8
—“A typical investigative step” apparently means using undercover spies on a political campaign during an election year?

—@GeorgePapa19 hadn’t “left the campaign”. Stefan Halper reached out to @carterwpage in May 16 BEFORE he left the campaign & BEFORE Crossfire Hurricane opened
—Apparently the FISA warrant against @carterwpage (and two “hops” from him) was “one small aspect in a sprawling inquiry”

So the narrative today is
a) there was only *one* (1) FISA
b) using the FISC to spy on a political campaign is “small”

Good luck with both of those

Was Weissmann involved in the $10K cash sting against @GeorgePapa19?🚨

—6/8/17 Alleged US asset Charles Tawil gives George $10K cash in Israel

—6/9/17 GP flies to Cyprus w $10K

—6/13/17 Weissmann starts series of “Cyprus MLAT” meetings w FBI 🤔

—7/27/17 GP busted at Dulles
N.B. MLAT almost certainly refers to the US-Cypriot Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty: state.gov/documents/orga…

H/T to @almostjingo for going through the documents:
N.B.2 While the timeline is very suspicious, for full disclosure I should point out there is another possibility - Weissmann led the team investigating Manafort, who had parked a lot of his illicit cash in Cyprus. These MLAT meetings *could* also refer to that? Maybe

🚨Trump sues Congress to keep his finances hidden from House Oversight. Complaint sounds like it was written by Sarah Sanders: “The Democrat Party…has declared all-out political war against President Donald J. Trump. Subpoenas are their weapon of choice.” assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5973…
Trump's hiding his national security abuses, ordering Carl Kline to defy a Congressional subpoena. This will lead to a contempt order. Where their stonewall strategy must lead. As w/ financial info, it's a delay tactic. But in the end it will result in more impeachable offenses.
🚨There you have it ➡️ White House plans to fight House subpoena of former counsel Donald #McGahn for testimony on #MuellerReport. Trump & his Roy Cohn gang stonewalled Mueller, now they’ll stonewall Congress. How much contempt can democracy bear from this contemptible POTUS?

McGahn *carried out* Trump’s orders👉🏼lobbied Sessions to remain in charge of the inquiry.🤨

Meaning: McGahn OBSTRUCTED justice, too‼️ 2/
The @nytimes cited *TWO people with knowledge of the episode* (NOT just the investigation), so this is VERY solid info.🤔 3/

🔥OBSTRUCTION🔥

Team🇺🇸Mueller is *grilling* WH officials on details of what TRUMP knew & did in the 18 days btwn @SallyQYates informing the WH that Misha🇷🇺Flynn was *susceptible to blackmail by #Russia* and Trump firing him‼️ 1/

Team🇺🇸Mueller has asked witnesses, including WH Counsel Don McGahn & others (Hicks, Reince, Spicey) who worked in the West Wing, to go through each day that Flynn remained as NSA & *describe in detail* what they knew was happening inside the WH as it related to Flynn.🤨2/
One goal is to determine if #Trump and/or top officials — PENCE, Reince, Spicey, McGahn etc — to COVER UP the info about #Flynn that Sally Yates conveyed to McGahn on Jan 26‼️🤔 3/
