Wait... their *first question* is going to misquote their witness's prior statements? That's lunacy.
1/ Where in the 448 pages of the Mueller Report does he say, "I know there was no coordination" or "I know there was no conspiracy"? What he said—in fact—was that Trump and his aides made it impossible to say more than "we don't have beyond a reasonable doubt evidence" right now.
2/ If Jordan asks Mueller this question, Mueller has an obligation to reply, "That's a mischaracterization of our report." Which would be very bad news for the GOP—especially as Trumpworld obstruction is one *key reason* Mueller couldn't find BRD conspiracy/coordination evidence.

The terrifying fact about the Mueller Report that no one is talking about is that the first and more important half of it—the part that discusses whether Trump or members of his campaign betrayed America—doesn't resolve the question. Much more at NEWSWEEK: newsweek.com/mueller-report…
"Until the U.S. counterintelligence community releases its findings to Congress—and perhaps, given how secretive such an eventual report will be, even after that point—Americans will remain in the dark about what Mueller found or was capable of finding with respect to the bevy...
...of conspiracy/conspiracy-related offenses Trump has been accused or widely suspected of committing: a list including aiding/abetting, bribery, money laundering, and conspiracy with nongovernmental Russians and governmental/nongovernmental persons from several other nations."

Don't worry, it's not witness tampering because they're doing it publicly
1/ I'm trying to figure out the legal authority Barr has to curtail the sworn testimony of a private citizen beyond prohibiting the revelation of classified testimony in open session—or other currently protected data, like still-sealed grand jury testimony—but am coming up empty.
2/ The problem is that Robert Mueller isn't *contesting* Barr's false assertion of executive-branch authority, because it *makes his testimony easier*. It's getting harder and harder to admire how Mueller is handling all this, even as I continue to admire the man and his service.

So TV analysts the nation over told us for months that Trump "doesn't want war." Fresh off researching PROOF OF CONSPIRACY for a year—a book about Trump's Iran policy—I said the analysts were wrong and that Trump was totally prepared for war. Today he said he was "okay" with war.
1/ I heard someone on CNN say yesterday, "no one wants war." Yes, "no one"... except *every new ally Trump has developed in the Middle East*—most of whom Trump's campaign was *secretly negotiating US foreign policy with* during the 2016 campaign in *contravention of federal law*.
2/ I don't know whether Trump wants war "in his heart" because a) he lacks one and b) in place of a functioning human organ he has a political calculator—and who knows if he thinks war aids him or not. But I *know* what the autocrats he *owes* want to see happen. *That* is clear.

Okay, it's too hot to go anywhere so I am going to read over the #Mueller report and tweet anything that I think is interesting. I'll try to include the page numbers. It's going to be from this file, because it's a PDF and therefore easier for me to read. assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5955…
It is linked from this story and others, in case you're wondering where I found it:
npr.org/2019/04/18/708…
I won't be offering any legal analyses or breakdowns, because I wouldn't know what the hell I was talking about. Instead, I'll just point out things that from my perspective - a journalist working hip-deep in the anti-disinformation field since 2015 - are interesting or of note.

I know everyone is clamoring to start the impeachment process & I want Donald out as much as anyone else because each day brings new & more more dispicable behavior. BUT, I know that we have to allow Congress the time they need to do this right & I believe they’ve got this.
/1
We’ve already seen that Speaker Pelosi has the ability to play Donald like a fiddle. She’s said that Donald isn’t worth it & that impeaching him isn’t good for the Dems politically... that might be true, but I believe there’s more.
/2
First, let’s go back in history for the first impeachment in recent memory (the one that didn’t involve a sexual relationship) Watergate. The Watergate hearings in the senate started in May 1973 & didn’t complete until a year later.

I know my colleague @justinamash to be a conscientious and principled man, but I am baffled by his conclusions about the #Mueller report. It is like we have read two different documents.. (1/5)
(2/5) What I have read, is a #report that finds no proof of obstruction and no underlying crime to obstruct..
(3/5) The so-called “evidence” is a collage of unsupported allegations - mostly by disgruntled former employees with an axe to grind

Here’s another reason to think that the #MUELLER REPORT is going to be devastating for Trump. 1/10
So far no member of Trump’s family has been indicted, including Don Jr., even though Don Jr (according to all reliable reporting) lied his *** off behind closed doors in Congressional hearings. 2/10
And Don Jr. hasn’t been questioned by Team Mueller, which legal experts say is ominous for him, as it is a sign he is a target. 3/10

What happened to the #Mueller hype?
What happened to the Mueller will take down #POTUS threats [@JohnBrennan]?
Was MUELLER the 'insurance' policy aka #BLOCKADE designed to limit/restrict POTUS' ability to enforce the law?
[#TRAITORS]
"complexities, opaqueness & length of counterintel investigations, I’d be surprised if #Mueller was able to uncover breadth of this #conspiracy. More digging will have to be done. But there’ll be crimes. & we better get to see them://t.co/seYfCs0d6q
"A concise #Mueller report would mark the end of the beginning, not the beginning of the end, argues @neal_katyal"
