Republicans are leaning heavily on questions about why the FBI didn't more clearly inform Trump campaign officials that Russians were trying to infiltrate their ranks
There was a defensive briefing, but it was more general than the ongoing Russian operation or any specific concerns about members of Trump's team.
However, even the witness called by Republicans, Andrew McCarthy, has said that the Trump campaign should have known to just call the FBI

Republicans got upset with Rep. Lieu during the closed-door hearing.

"Mr. Lieu is live-tweeting this," Rep. Collins said.
Here's his response.

There's going to be a showdown in the Roger Stone case. Prosecutors say he violated his gag order with social media posts.
Stone's gag order was tightened in February after an Instagram post featuring his judge's picture and an image of crosshairs latimes.com/politics/la-na…
Prosecutors say Stone violated the order by posting about the case on social media and tagging news organizations.

Rep. Nunes is talking about the "shoddy political hit piece known as the Mueller report," and he compares it to the Steele dossier.

"The Mueller dossier, as I call it . . ."
He's running through all the debunked stories in the Russia saga.

Nothing about Paul Manafort visiting Julian Assange, or Michael Cohen going to Prague.
Rep. Nunes says the media has become the "mouthpiece for a cabal of intelligence leakers."

Here we are, more than 2 years since Schiff publicly claimed to've “more than circumstantial” evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with "#Russians" to hack the 2016 elections, & >2 years since they read false allegations from the #Steeledossier into the Congressional record.
2. The entire scheme has now imploded and the collusion accusation has been exposed as a #hoax. One would think the D's would simply apologize and get back to lawmaking and oversight. But it’s clear they couldn’t stop this grotesque spectacle even if they wanted to...
3. The #MuellerDossier had no comment on the close relationship between D's at #FusionGPS & multiple "#Russians" who participated in the June 9, 2016 meeting at Trump Tower. In fact, no comment on Fusion GPS at all. No useful info on #Mifsud, #Downer, or #Steele...

#Trump campaign #BradPascale in #Romania makes me ponder a few questions:
🤔
-Using trip to influence US Romania emigrant voters?
-Purpose is to offer #socialmedia manipulation advice for #EU May vote?
-Perfect opportunity to meet with other election manipulators in the region?

Could Romanian media influence Romanian American voters?
As Romanian immigrants in America steadily increase, the population of Romanian voters might be heavily influenced by the strong ties to political and religious opinions held by leaders in Romania.

So nobody outside DOJ actually knows what the report says. The details of the investigation remain a mystery. Yet everyone has reached their conclusions. /1
Based on Attorney General Barr’s letter, we know that Mueller’s team found the Russians did interfere in the election. This is a different message than the president has often delivered, as he sometimes dismissed and often downplayed the interference. /2
Remember this?

Collusion Media & Democrats are saying that FISA and 302 information shouldn't be declassified as @realDonaldTrump has ordered because it would:

1. "Expose sources and methods"
2. "Interfere with the investigation"

These arguments are ridiculous

THREAD
First - @realDonaldTrump was lawfully elected as President & is therefore head of the executive branch

He's the highest declassification authority, the FBI/DOJ/IC work for him and he's accountable to the public

Anonymous, unaccountable leakers in the DOJ/FBI/IC are NOT
So lets go through the last year or two and see what "sources and methods" have already been revealed and what "interference with the investigation" has already happened - due to illegal leaks by the same people who are opposing lawful declassification today

🔥THREAD: Mueller’s team notified Trump’s lawyers that his FALSE statement about the #RussianLawyer🇷🇺meeting is *one of ~a dozen subjects that Mueller wants to discuss in a face-to-face interview of Trump‼️1/

nyti.ms/2FzuGBf
Trump’s aides & family members tried over 48 hours to manage the crisis.🙄

SHOCKER: the situation quickly degenerated into CIRCULAR FIRING SQUAD. They protected their own interests, shifted blame and potentially left themselves — and TRUMP — legally vulnerable‼️🤣 2/
Mark Corallo (fmr Trump legal team spokesman) will be interviewed by Mueller & plans to tell him about a previously undisclosed conference call w/Trump & Hope Hicks.🤨 3/
