2/ So @CNN thought biggest take-away was that Russia is still meddling "as we sit here." That CNN thought that was the biggest take-away tells me that they haven't been listening to a word from the right. AG Barr testified that months ago, see my @FDRLSTedition.cnn.com/2019/07/24/pol…
3/3 No, the biggest take-away was that Mueller didn't know who Fusion GPS was and that that aspect was beyond his "purview." Sequestering myself now to work on more complete thoughts. END

3/ Trump Administration "won": Unions cannot challenge firing decisions in this lawsuit because Congress established a separate agency and mechanism to resolve those disputes & unions must go there first. Notes 75K employees took the "RESIGN" option.
🚨BREAKING: Government files response in opposition to NGOs motion to enforce TRO & hold Trump Administration in contempt. THREAD below explains more about the case & last night's emergency motion for contempt. Read that first (along with sub-thread). 1/
3/ Plaintiffs entire basis of complaint & TRO is the Administrative Procedures Act, but APA requires final agency action & under current precedent, we just don't have one here. Most other courts have totally floated over that issue by quoting various language suggesting there is.
🚨AFL-CIO filed Motion for Expedited Discovery seeking details of inner-workings. However, whether AFL-CIO has a claim rests on legal question & not factual question so watch Trump oppose & file Motion to Dismiss for lack of jurisdiction (no standing). 1/
