1. I suspect we'll see some action soon after Trump is wheels-up to Tokyo G20. There seems to be a lot of stuff dumped as soon as Trump has to leave his FSB bat-phone behind in the residence. Here's my thoughts.

2. Judge Howell's order said the dockets disclosed yesterday were not grand jury materials so I conclude there has been a lot of things going on in DC that was not part of the Mueller grand jury. So what are they if not for a grand jury?

3. Based on my reading of the DOJ manuals the real secret stuff rarely gets to the grand jury. Though the rules require an indictment that can also be waived by the defendant. The point is that a deep counterintelligence investigation would likely be done by the FBI and not

4. presented to a grand jury except at the very end. The Mueller Report confirmed that his office had FBI agents observing but not reporting to Mueller. I think Trump, his family and many members of the GOP are Russian intelligence assets. I think the people at the very top

5. of the FBI know and small group of people in DOJ, DOD and CIA know. Trump's hinting he's going to fire Chris Wray will be the signal to move. FBI can't brief the Intel committees because Nunes is a SVR asset and Burr IMO took Russian money in 2016 cycle. I think Burr has been

6. debriefed but Nunes is so dirty nobody dare go near him. Mueller is stalling because he can't disclose the op. Barr is the wild card. If he was 100% turned he would have likely moved to shut it down. The fact that it has proceeded has caused me to move

7. Barr's "not traitor" score up to 50%. By getting Trump to give him the authority to declassify everything he would then be able to play Trump intercepts to Schiff. IMO he has no obligation to work through the gang of eight that currently has no GOP members who are

8. likely not Russian assets with Burr as a possible exception. On May 24, 2016 I posted a tweet that it was certain that Trump would get caught by FISA. The 702 authorities make it nearly impossible to get away with what Trump has been up to since 2008 when 702 started.

9. The Russian mob reports to the Kremlin so all the members are subject to traditional FISA orders. My concerns remain from the SDNY Edwards case that Berman is involved with but should be recused. That is the case that involved Buzz Feed publishing of leaked FinCEN

10. SARs that evidenced what I reported in 2016 that the GOP and Trump were funded by the Kremlin. From a purely hardball constitutional assessment, the arrest of a dozen or so GOP Senators would make Trump's removal easier but open the country to a true constitutional crisis.

11. Putin has been my subject lately. I suppose he may have fantasies of Trump declaring himself emperor and inviting the Russian Army to take positions in DC but I think he's actually too rational to think this will go on. Trump can't end his sanctions. He can work with

12 corrupt GOP like McConnell and give his crime family some benefits of the investment they made in owning the GOP but eventually the US people will want revenge. War is not unthinkable. Not a nuclear war but the elimination of the Russian fleet and air force is possible.

13. Today's announcement by @AdamSchiff #RobertMueller will testify is consistent with my analysis that the counterintelligence investigation may soon wrap up. At least for what needs to be considered by the House.
Perhaps July 17th will be the end of the 7th inning stretch.

14. Just a reminder, on Friday July 12 the DC Court of Appeals will hold oral argument on the Mazars Trump financial records subpoena.
It's possible that the court may rule before Mueller testifies. I expect Trump to lose badly.
