Just wrote a @slate piece on the latest campaign finance indictments while waiting to board plane at lax. Watch for it soon...preview: Foreign interference is a feature not a bug of Trump presidency
Let’s see if @JeremyStahl gets me a link before takeoff
My new one @slate: Foreign interference is a feature not a bug of the Trump Presidency, as today’s campaign finance indictment shows: slate.com/news-and-polit…
My @slate piece links to @RonaldKlain piece on Obama’s warning of foreign interference. Ron was right and I was wrong washingtonpost.com/opinions/2018/…
Here's something I didn't have time to take up in @Slate piece. @WSJ reports that Barr was read in on these indictments. He's STILL not recusing after Trump named him as a point person on Ukraine dirt in the infamous call. That case is wrapped up in today's indictment.
The good news is that Barr did let the indictment go forward, and it shows that SDNY has at least some independence left.

I said in my @slate piece on Trump Ukraine impeachment issue that "The allegation is easy to understand and does not require a Carrie Mathison corkboard connecting the cast of characters with yarn." Story is getting more complicated, but the claim against Pres remains simple /1
How and why Rudy and his two henchmen and a Ukrainian oligarch fit into the story is fascinating. But none of that has to be unraveled to find the President abused his power. As I wrote @slate: slate.com/news-and-polit… /2
In sum, no matter what full Ukraine story is, the President himself admitted, even bragged, about soliciting/pressuring a foreign government who received U.S. taxpayer dollars to provide dirt on a political opponent to benefit Pres. personally. That's abuse of power. Q.E.D. /3

Early on in the argument, it seems that after Pam Karlan gave an answer there was silence from the bench, and so she joked about reserving the rest of her time for rebuttal. Few could get away with that like Pam could.
And wondering if this is the first time "Hooters" has appeared in a SCOTUS oral argument:
And Pam Karlan pushes back against Chief Justice Roberts' idea to leave this to Congress, and Judge Posner (in 7th Circuit's) argument for dynamic statutory interpretation

#Campaign in tweets - @Guardicore Labs in a new tradition; we find the attacks, you get to know them and learn the attackers' tricks and techniques. This time, let's get familiarized with "Lemon_Duck", a #cryptomining campaign involving a sophisticated #propagation tool. 🍋🦆
Before we start: all scripts, binaries and IOCs are available on our github repository. In addition, malicious IPs, attack servers and domains appear on @Guadicore Cyber Threat Intelligence portal. You're welcome to take a look :)
threatintelligence.guardicore.com/?utm_medium=or…
github.com/guardicore/lab…
Lemon_Duck starts by breaching machines over the #MSSQL service or the #SMB protocol. We'll focus on the MS-SQL flow. Once inside the machine, the attacker enables #xp_cmdshell to run shell commands. It will take only a single command line to trigger the rest of the attack.

L'info de la nuit US: et le @washingtonpost et le @nytimes rapportent que #Trump fut déjà prévenu des pertes AVANT de donner son feu vert initial à des frappes en #Iran et que l'opération était bien en cours avant son revirement.
washingtonpost.com/politics/i-sto…
nytimes.com/2019/06/21/us/…
2) Cette information n'est pas anecdotique: l'#Iran sait désormais que #Trump hésitera toujours à frapper et qu'il y a incontestablement des fractures à l'intérieur de l'administration US autour du président pour savoir comment réagir face aux Iraniens. nbcnews.com/politics/polit…
3) Et ce dévoilement d'1 #Trump hésitant, confus construit 1 image de faiblesse face à l'#Iran et d'autres. Selon le quotidien US le plus lu @USATODAY Th. Roosevelt disait: "Parlez doucement et portez 1 gros bâton, vous irez loin". #Trump fait l'inverse. eu.usatoday.com/story/news/pol…

L'info de la nuit US. #Trump persiste,signe et décrète même seul que relâcher les immigrants sans-papiers dans les villes démocrates sanctuaires est légal. Et assume le chantage fait aux démocrates (ou vous votez mes lois ou je vous envoie des migrants).RT
2) Cette volonté de #Trump de "renvoyer" les migrants sans-papiers dans les sanctuaires pour "punir" les démocrates de ne pas voter des lois plus dures sur l'#immigration est inédite. Il utilise les moyens de l'Etat comme menace pour forcer l'opposition.RT
3) Il y a dans cette nouvelle politique d'#immigration 1 triple transgression par rapport au statu quo ante. D'1 part, il continue de "présidentialiser" la politique migratoire contre sa propre administration hostile à ce transfert infaisable des sans-papiers vers les sanctuaires

A few things to remember about #MichaelCohen:
1. He has been represented by #Clinton operative Lanny Davis
2. Not even #Cohen is guilty of the #campaign #finance violations he pleaded guilty to in SD NY--they are not crimes. Prosecutors made them up. @realDonaldTrump
@POTUS
2/ They are absolutely unprecedented -- obviously added for partisan political purposes to smear @realDonaldTrump
3. Cohen is all about Cohen.
4. There are no campaign finance violations here! It's bogus.
@WhiteHouse
@PressSec
3/ 5. #Cohen admitted there is no evidence of collusion.
6. Trump told #Cohen to tell the truth
7. #MichaelCohen was never in Prague so #SteeleDossier is false on that point too
8. There are no tapes for which #Trump could be blackmailed
#Dimms have 00

Background THREAD on Mike Flynn's now indicted business partners Bijan Kian & Ekim Alptekin [who's on the same think tank as Professor Mifsud ], charged with acting as foreign agents and conspiracy for attempting to 'extradite' Turkish cleric Fethullah Gulen from the US.
#Maddow
George Papadopoulos and Michael Flynn’s now-indicted business partner Ekim Alptekin are both tied to Israeli gas dealings and attended the same energy conferences in Tel Aviv in 2016.

#Trump-mais il n'est pas le seul (cf. ci-dessous)- démontre aujourd'hui qu'il n'a rien compris au #MeToo, et à ses revendications. Bien sûr, #Kavanaugh est présumé innocent de l'accusation mais le président en fait 1 victime, tout en taisant la parole de l'agressée. Frappant. RT+
#LastRT Et quand l'ex-président #Bush, pourtant retiré de la vie publique et très discret, ne sort de son silence que pour défendre #Kavanaugh par principe AVANT MÊME que la victime ait pu s'exprimer, là aussi rien ne change. politico.com/story/2018/09/…
#LastRT Encore 1 fois, #Kavanaugh est présumé innocent, il n'y a aucune preuve apportée pour l'instant contre lui. Et l'accusatrice n'a pas encore confirmé qu'elle témoignerait au Sénat. Mais comment s'en étonner si sa parole est tant minorée par avance? politico.com/story/2018/09/…
