It's back! I'm going to get back to my reading and live tweeting of the #Mueller report. I'm on v.1 pp. ~170 and had to break for several hours for various reasons.
Here is one of the original threads, which I tried to keep together but eventually gave up cause Twitter kept breaking. I'll take it up again here.
I mean right here, in this thread.
Note the careful language I pointed out multiple times yesterday. (pp. 173) 
Lots of this, lol
More laying out why they took the actions they did and didn't take others (pp. 180)
More on that (page 183)
Interesting footnote on this page, too:
Lots of explanation of the processes and mechanisms and how they apply here. On pages 185 and 186, there are some very explicit explanations about the charges. This is also how I know a lot of the "no collusion" crowd didn't read the report.
It seems to me that they're saying everyone was too stupid to figure out what they were doing here, but perhaps I'm reading too much into it hahahahaha (page 187)
WELP (v. 1 pp. 191)
Page 192, hi again George!
The very next line after this passage is, "Papadopoulos's false statements in January 2017 impeded the FBI's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election." (pp. 193)
Hi Mike! (pp. 194)
Hi Jeff! He got off easy with insufficient evidence though (pp. 198). He sure has been quiet though huh?
The final page of Volume I looks like this:
Volume II is now on tap. I am going to take a break soon to go somewhere that is definitely not a dispensary, but after that I'll be back.
It starts out pretty strong! (Page 7)

Page 8. Damning.
Back! There's a few pages of legal terms, and then this (page 12).
I thought pp. 12-13 also offered some insights into Trump's behavior toward investigators:
This seems like it's going to be juicy! (Page 15)
So far so good. Also, check out this footnote. Note what it says. (Still on pp. 15)
"Not sufficient to charge" means something very different than "no evidence." And that's the extent of my legal analysis thx.
Lots of stuff that appeared in the press that we've all seen covered exhaustively follows: the first coverage of Trump and Russia as well as that RT dinner that Jill Stein also attended, WikiLeaks, the public denials. (pp. 16)
The timeline is pretty easy to follow here too (pp. 20)
John Podesta gave a statement about Russia in December 2016, followed by Trump's denials; the Obama admin imposed sanctions that month followed by a statement from Trump that everyone needed to get on with their lives; Buzzfeed published the Steele dossier. Then (pp. 23):
James Comey appears next, on page 24:
🤔(pages 25-26)
All the movies I've ever seen made even the worst international criminals look way smarter than this. What a maroon. (Still on page 26.)
From the footnotes on pages 27 and 28:
Pages 29 and 30 talk about their response to an accurate story. This one: washingtonpost.com/opinions/why-d…

lol I've fallen for this old chestnut so many times (page 33). It usually ends with me trying to leave early and the dude trying to follow me out to my car for a horrible awkward attempt at a kiss. The next few pages are all about Comey's memo.
On top of everything else this is just the actions of a shitty, toxic boss. But I have very little sympathy for Flynn, of course. In fact, I have exactly none. (pp. 37-38)
The president leans on Chris Christie. Also that Kushner footnoted story is kind of weird (page 39):
I just added a bunch more to the thread and Twitter is telling me that the file is empty. Oh, you! Love that shitty redesign though!
Porting it over now.
I hope someday soon we have a talk not just about shitty politics but about the shitty American business practices that have been used to psychologically torture people for ages. (Page 43)

This is page 44; the next page lays out the evidence.
Page 45.
Comey, Comey, Comey... Sessions! (pp. 48)
Pages 51-52 deal with the events of March 5th and 6th, 2017.
This was also March 6th, 2017 🤔 cbsnews.com/news/trumps-ne…

It's almost as if the president is cynically throwing vulnerable minorities under the bus to distract from the shady shit he's doing. Moving on... page 52. Sucks to be Annie. But look at these tasty footnotes! Also, this was March 11, 2017. cbsnews.com/news/us-attorn…
I'm going to take a break -- I've had an exceptionally long day today and I think I just hit my wall! I'll try to return later tonight though. There's a lot of stuff to get through.
