Update. Nader, balding and donning a rumpled beige prison-issued jumpsuit, made his first appearance in Va, but not much accomplished today. Judge set his detention hearing for Fri @ 2PM ET, and his preliminary hearing for this Monday at 3PM. @CourthouseNews
I'll have a brief with some background coming up soon for @CourthouseNews
P.S. Detention hearing tomorrow at 2PM, preliminary hearing Monday at 3PM. I'll be there. I hope you will join me for coverage!
A few years ago, an adviser to the crown prince of the United Arab Emirates held court with Trump campaign officials at Trump Tower. On Thursday, far from that building’s gold facade, he appeared in Virginia federal court to face child pornography charges.

Hearing gets underway in a little over 30 minutes at 2PM ET. I hope you'll join me as I live-tweet for @CourthouseNews.
John Dean will provide examples of parallels between the Watergate scandal and the instances of obstruction Mueller pointed to in his report. Echoes of Nixon's Chief of Staff HR Haldeman, he says, exist in activities of former nat sec advisor Michael Flynn:
He also draws the comparison of the Saturday Night Massacre (firing of Archibald Cox) to Trump's firing of FBI director James @Comey:

Update. George Nader will remain detained ahead of Monday's preliminary hearing; judge agreed Nader posed too great a risk to the community's safety and that there were "no combination of conditions" that would convince him otherwise. Story for @CourthouseNews coming up.
Magistrate Judge Ivan Davis provided a litany of concerns he had about the potential for Nader, 60, to flee. He has a villa in the UAE, a chalet in Lebanon, his net worth is around $3 million and he has at least $1 million in cyber currency alone.
In phones recovered by FBI after his arrest Monday, they found texts between between Nader and Emirati Crown Prince Mohammad bin Zayed as well as Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. His contact list included ambassadors to Russia, Qatar and UAE.

As a reporter, and one who covers environment, I would very much like to hear candidates go at this live. How about you? #ClimateDebate
A debate on climate or just the environment, if the first word spooks you, would be great @DNC because it is literally raining plastic in the Rockies.

1. En cette période de commémoration, je voudrais parler de Rose, une grande dame pour laquelle je veux tenir nos mémoires en éveil. Sa vie a basculé entre le 22/04 et le 17/06/1994. Chaque jour jusqu'au 17/06, je vais vous parler de celle qu'elle fut #laVieDeRose #Rwanda #RwOT🇷🇼
2. Comme toute chronique, l’itinéraire de vie que je vais vous raconter est divisé en plusieurs périodes. L'histoire de Rose suit le calendrier de l'Histoire de son pays natal, le Rwanda : avant 1959, entre 1959 et 1994, entre avril et juillet 1994 et après 1994. #laVieDeRose
3. Elle s’appelait donc Rose, et elle était aussi belle que la reine des fleurs. Comme ne tarderait pas à le démontrer son parcours accidenté de jeune fille, de femme, de mère puis de veuve, Rose appartenait à la version la plus résistante de l’arbuste dont elle porte le nom.

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"

Today’s CJEU order against #Poland was made by first woman to serve as court’s Vice-President, Judge Rosario Silva de Lapuerta - appointed this month curia.europa.eu/jcms/jcms/rc4_…
Personal note: Judge Silva de Lapuerta once accused me of having an “a la carte” approach to the Treaty. Possibly with justification...
There hasn’t been a female President yet.

Suite aux propos écoeurants de @dupontaignan (coutumier du fait quand il s’agit de #prison ), petit fil sur un sujet peu connu : les mères en prison, et donc les bébés et les très jeunes enfants en prison. Réinformation #detention #maternite
Rappelons ce dont il s’agit : 100 000 euros ont été débloqués pour 10 places pour une « crèche » (je reviendrai sur le sens du mot dans le fil, il ne faut pas s’imaginer que c’est comme à l’extérieur) à Fleury-Mérogis, pour les bébés qui vivent en prison avec leur mère
Dupont-Aignan s’indigne, déclare que le «confort des délinquants» est la «priorité du gouvernement», à la charge du contribuable. Rappelons qu’il s’agit de place pour des bébés et de très jeunes enfants qui ne sont pas des délinquants, sauf si on considère que c’est génétique...

hearing—"#China's Worldwide #Military Expansion" is a dramatic bellwether of growing concerns in Washington & beyond.

Now online—hard-hitting arguments + many data points, some deeply-analyzed yet hard to find elsewhere in public domain:

CAPT Jim Fanell, USN Ret, former @USPacificFleet N2:

"today, the PLA Navy consists of over 330 surface ships & 66 submarines, nearly 400 combatants. As of 4 May 2018, the @USNavy consists of 283 battle force ships: 211 surface ships and 72 submarines."

"By 2030, it is estimated [by Fanell & @SCheneyPeters in their chapter in @NavalWarCollege @ChinaMaritime Studies Institute's Chinese Naval Shipbuilding volume amazon.com/Chinese-Naval-… @USNIBooks that] the PLANavy will consist of some 550 ships: 450 surface ships & 99 submarines."

I’m watching all of the @Marvel movies with @ThereseTheBeast, we are going in release order over the next 8 weeks leading up to #AvengersInfinityWar

Yesterday was Iron Man, we just started The Incredible Hulk now.

Updating this thread with thoughts and lists as we go #marvel
💭 Most shocking moment so far in the @Hulk 2008 is @LivTyler dating the dad from Modern Family.

Also as much as I like Edward Norton I’m just picturing @MarkRuffalo in my head and this movie is even better.
Putting @Hulk on pause to talk Iron Man.

1. I forgot how we used to talk about Marvel movies being “grounded” or “realistic” especially when it comes to color pallete and portrayal of characters or events.

The colors in Black Panther and Thor 3 have come a long way since 2008.
