Mueller’s prosecutors say Flynn described conversations among senior Trump campaign officials about potentially reaching out to Wikileaks after Podesta’s emails dropped and also alerted them for the first time to obstructive acts by Trump’s legal team. usatoday.com/documents/6007…
In this document, it’s actually broader than Trump’s legal team — “persons connected to the Administration or Congress.” (The voicemail mentioned here fits the description of a voicemail from Trump’s personal counsel to Flynn’s counsel that is described in the Mueller report.)
The main section on “Conduct directed at Michael Flynn” in Volume 2 of Mueller’s report doesn’t mention anything about persons connected to Congress. In addition to the President’s personal counsel, it notes contacts from Priebus, McFarland, Hicks, and Kushner.

Someone went to great lengths to catch the leader of Austria’s far right on video promising public contracts to a woman purporting to be the niece of a Russian oligarch in return for campaign assistance. theguardian.com/world/2019/may…
“Both newspapers said they had no clear and corroborated information about who had set up the elaborate sting operation.”

The only claim NYT clearly identifies as "false" in the story is one of president Trump's incendiary statements about executions, and a caption says language in anti-choice facebook ads is "sometimes false," but it doesn't identify which language.
Any other "context" of that kind is held at a distance like a gym sock, attributed to unnamed "abortion rights supporters" or "abortion rights groups."
Also fwiw the word "misleading" doesn't appear.

I continue to find these arguments unpersuasive.
It’s the lawyer’s job to manage the conflicts created by the representations that they take on (whether with other clients or with other jobs and activities). It’s not everyone else’s job to pretend those conflicts don’t matter to them.
Let’s say you’re a Harvard Law prof who also runs a cancer epidemiology lab; congratulations on being a very impressive person! Now say you take on a tobacco industry client. The client deserves a defense. But you may find it harder to get your lab’s research funded. That’s okay.

Mueller summary THREAD
The Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion. Evidence of Russian government operations began to surface in mid-2016. In June, the Democratic National Committee -
and its cyber response team publicly announced that Russian hackers had compromised its computer network. Releases of hacked materials-hacks that public reporting soon attributed to the Russian government-began that same month.
Additional releases followed in July through the organization WikiLeaks, with further releases in October and November. In late July 2016, soon after WikiLeaks's first release of stolen documents,

🔥#BREAKING Roger Stone Is Indicted AND Arrested in Mueller Investigation Into Trump Campaign nyti.ms/2Hurg8I #TrumpRussia
‼️FBI agents arrested Roger Stone at his home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Longtime adviser to Trump, Stone was charged with 7 counts—obstruction, making false statements and witness tampering—over his communications with WikiLeaks & Dem emails. #TrumpRussia #MuellerInvestigation
Sarah Sanders, seriously: Roger Stone’s arrest and indictment has nothing to do with the president or the WH. Will the same standard apply to others who gave false statements like Hillary Clinton and James Comey? CNN is guilty of collusion. President Trump is tough on Russia.

This is a lengthy thread proving the connections between Wikileaks and the Trump campaign. Putting together all the pieces in a timeline allows one to see the clear collusion between Assanged/Wikileaks, Russia and the Trump Campaign. This info must get out there! (THREAD) (1)
