Remember yesterday, when all those Michael Cohen search warrant docs were unsealed? See: buzzfeednews.com/article/anthon… We just got another batch, this time from the federal court in DC. Links momentarily, here's what this section looked like in May v. now:
Here are the documents, which were previously released in May with more redactions, see: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
- assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6207…
- assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6207…
- assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6207…
- assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6207…
- assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6207…
The documents released in DC today are search warrant applications from 2017, so they predate the search warrant materials we got yesterday in SDNY from 2018. They're lighter on details, but show what Mueller's office knew about the Stormy Daniels payment by the end of 2017
These docs show that as of July 2017, Mueller's office had already traced the path of the $130K hush money payment to Stormy Daniels — from a home equity line of credit, to the Essential Consultants account, to Daniels' lawyer, and finally to Daniels
New: House Oversight Dems sent a letter to the US attorney's office in Manhattan today asking if DOJ's policy against indicting sitting presidents played a role in their decision about what to do about the Stormy Daniels hush money payment oversight.house.gov/sites/democrat…

NEW: How Donald Trump has used a secretive, private justice system – arbitration – to try to move lawsuits and potentially damaging or embarrassing claims out of the public eye buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Trump over the years has turned to a secretive, private justice system — arbitration — to try to keep claims out of court brought by Stormy Daniels, former White House and 2016 campaign staffers, investors in his businesses, and employees of his companies buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Arbitration has a long history — at its core, it's about two parties deciding to settle a dispute privately. Trump's use of arbitration underscores broader complaints that the current state of the system puts consumers and employees at a big disadvantage buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

Speaker Pelosi said in a letter that House Judiciary Chair Nadler will file a lawsuit today (nothing on the docket yet) to enforce a subpoena for former White House counsel Don McGahn to testify about the Russia probe — Nadler prev. said he'd do this: reuters.com/article/us-usa…
As announced by Pelosi earlier today, the House Judiciary Committee filed a lawsuit in DC federal court seeking to enforce a subpoena for testimony from former White House counsel Don McGahn related to Mueller's investigation.

Complaint: assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6247…
The House Judiciary Committee designated the case today as "related" to the petition that Dems filed for Mueller's grand jury materials, so it's been assigned to the judge already handling that, Chief Judge Beryl Howell

The Trump Supporter Who Mailed Bombs To Democrats Gets 20 Years In Prison buzzfeednews.com/article/skbaer… via @skbaer
@skbaer Here's the written opinion from Judge Rakoff explaining his decision to sentence Cesar Sayoc to 20 years in prison (the judge read this from the bench): assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6242…

Story from @skbaer: buzzfeednews.com/article/skbaer…
(As Rakoff notes, it's pretty unusual to get a written opinion out of a sentencing — he points out that putting it in writing like this means it'll be easier to search/find in the future than hearing transcripts would be)

.@BuzzFeedNews source is FELIX SATER. For ALL their Moscow Tower reporting. 100% of it. Unless you count the “anon law enforcement officials” confirming Sater’s spin. I have detailed this in multiple threads.
If you want to understand *how* Leopold & Cormier's Moscow Tower reporting is Sater-sourced bologna, here is a primer to start. 👇

Basic fact-checking from @BuzzFeedNews would have caught some of these misreported facts. What happened?
.@BuzzFeedNews all but sponsored a Felix Sater media tour courtesy of his Bromance w/ Leopold & Cormier. Sater got to re-brand himself as an "American Spy" and go on @msnbc @maddow and elsewhere pushing LIES about the 2015 Moscow Tower. That was the deal. buzzfeednews.com/article/anthon…

Anyone remember the senior officials at the US Treasury FINCEN leaking information to Michael Avenetti & the press? Well seems they may have been doing some Russian collusion too! justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/s…
Seems senior officials at FINCEN, which should be looking out for money laundering, were instead illegally sharing info with the Russians in 2016 & early 2017. Sending information to private Gmail accounts rather than through secure networks.
Buzzfeed is being spun by leakers pointing to a couple of Hillary's friends as the targets of the Russian requests, but I'm sure there is much more to this. As leakers at this agency targeted Michael Cohen & others in Trump's circle. buzzfeednews.com/article/anthon…

💥Michael Cohen Pleads Guilty to Charge in Mueller Inquiry Related to Russia Business Deal. Cohen admitted to making false statements to Congress about his efforts to pursue a Trump Tower Moscow deal DURING the 2016 presidential campaign. And Trump knew. nyti.ms/2zvy5R8
"COHEN made the false statements to (1) minimize links between the Moscow Project and Individual 1 [TRUMP] and (2) give the false impression that the Moscow Project ended before “the Iowa caucus and…the very first primary,” in hopes of limiting the ongoing Russia investigations"
Trump was pursuing a sweet deal in Russia while running for POTUS on Russia’s platform—pro-Putin, anti-NATO/Ukraine. He betrayed America for personal gain, figuring he’d lose. Then Putin came thru w/ dirt—Wikileaks. Days after June Trump Tower meeting, Cohen ends Moscow deal.
