PDF: assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6145…
@realDonaldTrump Knowledge about the involvement of foreign intel agencies has so far been based on anonymously-sourced media reports and unsubstantiated allegations. Boyd's letter is the 1st confirmation that the DOJ is formally reviewing actions taken by foreign intel targeting Trump campaign.
@realDonaldTrump NEWS: U.S. Attorney John Durham is working with "certain foreign actors" as part of a broad investigation of spying on @realDonaldTrump's campaign.

Christopher Steele agreed to talk to the Justice Department Office of Inspector General after learning that the OIG's upcoming report will criticize him and his credibility, Times of London reports.
Christopher Steele's testimony to the DOJ OIG will be limited to his work for the @FBI, Times of London reports. He has retained a lawyer for £30,000 and requested that the OIG get permission from British officials first.
@FBI It is possible that the last-minute interview with Christopher Steele will result in the delay of the release of the DOJ OIG report. According to @SaraCarterDC, AG Barr may have already been given a final draft (before this news broke).

There are FOUR significant selective edits in the transcript of Dowd's call to Flynn's attorney as it is presented in the Mueller report.

These are underlined in the screenshot below.

1. Mueller omitted that Dowd expressed sympathy at the outset.

Thread:
The omission of "I'm sympathetic" is notable because in the very next paragraph Mueller goes on to detail a call where Dowd was "indignant and vocal" about Flynn's withdrawal from the joint defense agreement. The sympathy in the transcript did not fit the obstruction narrative.
2. Mueller cut out language which would show that Dowd discussed two separate issues in the call.

“I understand that you can’t join the joint defense; so that’s one thing. On the other hand…”

This is the full PDF of the transcript: documentcloud.org/documents/6112…

DOJ calls out Dems for ignoring less-redacted Mueller report, serving subpoena instead

foxnews.com/politics/doj-c…
“Regrettably, before even reviewing the less-redacted version or awaiting the Attorney General’s testimony, you served a subpoena ...” Assistant AG Stephen Boyd wrote..
“You served such a subpoena knowing that the Dept could not lawfully provide the unredacted report, that the Committee lacks any legitimate legislative purpose for seeking the complete investigative files, and that processing your requests would impose a significant burden...”

Quick thread:

1) Assistant AG Stephen Boyd just told Nunes in a letter that releasing his memo will be a "deviation" from an arrangement DOJ negotiated on access to classified info with House Intel Committee and ... Paul Ryan's office:

(h/t @NatashaBertrand)
2) This appears to be a reference to @RepAdamSchiff's hint yesterday that Nunes had violated such an agreement:

3) Lawfare's @Susan_Hennessey raised the question yesterday of whether Schiff had basically suggested Nunes had mishandled classified information:
