Ari Melber reporting that Mulvaney has now issued a statement walking back his earlier comments & saying 'there was no quid-pro-quo'. Haven't seen it yet, but this is exactly Trump's pattern. It is ALL about the choas. When he has no defense, he does this. #ThursdayThoughts
This is interesting. Trump's legal team is reportedly 'stunned' that Mulvaney admitted to quid-pro-quo. #ThursdayThoughts

Trump's lawyer, Jay Sekulow, texted a CNBC reporter a little while ago, "The President's legal counsel was not involved in acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney's press briefing." washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
WaPo: "Mulvaney later said that his comments were misconstrued & that no conditions were put on releasing military aid to Ukraine." MISCONSTRUED? His florid face was emphatically insisting that his mouth was telling his truth. He was perfectly well understood.

In a podcast this wk, HRC suggested RU are leveraging a number of top U.S. politicians, that they have compromising info on Trump & that they might back Tulsi Gabbard as a 3rd party cand. She's been SO right @ this before. #SaturdayThoughts washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/…
2-If Gabbard runs as a 3rd party, & we don't realize that HRC is right, we should just give up. "“They’re also going to do third-party again,” Clinton said. “I’m not making any predictions, but I think they’ve got their eye on someone who’s currently in the Democratic primary
3-"and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate. She’s the favorite of the Russians. They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far.”

BREAKING:
World: Meet the person Trump plans to scapegoat for his Ukraine crimes. Dpty WH Counsel John A. Eisenberg.
Also read here the beginnings of Trump's defense, which they wouldn't prepare unless they were very convinced that #ImpeachmentIsComing
nytimes.com/2019/10/15/us/…
2-So, this pc describes an investigation that the WH have opened into why Trump's Zelensky call transcript was put in a 'super secret' server.. Mulvaney (who is deeply implicated in the scandal) is 'participating' in the probe. BUT it doesn't explain why WH has put DT's other
3-calls on same server. It's weak. Of course.
NYT: "Even as the impeachment inquiry intensifies in Congress, White House lawyers are leading their own review, the people said. They are seeking to understand White House officials’ actions around Mr. Trump’s July 25 call with

Majority Whip James E. Clyburn is leading the effort by Dem leadership to reach out to D Members still on the fence @ Impeachment asking if they'd support a formal vote. No decision has been made on whether to schedule a vote yet. #TuesdayThoughts washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
2-Re calling a formal vote: "Some aides are also reticent to change course after House lawyers who are seeking access to grand jury records generated by former special counsel Robert S. Mueller III recently argued
3-"to a federal judge that a formal vote is not necessary for the House to enjoy the full legal rights it is afforded in an impeachment proceeding." THAT is a very good reason to not cave to GOP pressure. Dems are taking a tough stance now, doing it their way. #TuesdayMotivation

Worst. Gaslighting. Ever.
#MULVANEY: That’s what people are saying I said but I didn’t say it.
(🦊 rolls tape)
WALLACE: Anyone listening to you in that briefing could come to only one conclusion—there was a quid pro quo. YOU TOTALLY SAID THAT. #UkraineGate
🤥Sunday Mulvaney: 2 reasons aid to Ukraine was held: 1/ corruption, 2/ other aid. Trump mentioned DNC server—in passing & not connected to aid.
😤Thurs Get-over-it Mulvaney: 3 reasons: those 2 + investigation of Dems.

He said something else interesting about the Zelensky call…
Mulvaney tried gaslighting away #3 reason—server investigation/quid pro quo—for blocking aid.
He added: Once we were satisfied Ukraine was doing better w corruption—we got that info from conversation w/ Zelensky—money flowed.
🧐Corruption was never mentioned in transcript—#3 was.

Et si on faisait 1 synthèse de la situation de #Trump après 1 semaine d'enquête en #impeachment et de révélations folles. Dernière en date, selon le @nytimes: 1 2nd agent du renseignement confirme sur l'#Ukraine et pourrait lui aussi lancer 1 alerte. nytimes.com/2019/10/04/us/…
@nytimes 2) La 1ère chose à dire est que #Trump, pour la 1ère fois peut-être dans sa carrière politique, n'est pas parvenu à "arrêter le saignement" (comme on dit aux #EtatsUnis) provoqué par le lancement d'alerte sur l'#Ukraine puis l'ouverture des vannes de l'enquête en #impeachment...
@nytimes 3)… il y a depuis 10 jours une cascade ininterrompue de faits révélés par le début de l'enquête en #impeachment de la Chambre et des infos de la presse qui accablent #Trump au point d'avoir fait bouger l'opinion. Substantiellement.

1/16 It has begun. The GOP is spinning that the sole transcript Trump says he will release is more important than the #WhistleblowerComplaint as a tactic to insist everything should ride on this one supposed piece of evidence.

#ImpeachTrump #ImpeachmentParty #UkraineTranscript
2/16 All reports indicate this was a months-long conspiracy Trump and Giuliani were engaged in, subverting & bypassing officials who tried to stop them.

A single call does not BEGIN to give an accurate depiction of the events that lead up to this. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
3/16 And Trump already has a shady history with releasing information.

Forget the obvious like his tax returns, school grades, and secret meetings with Putin.

Actually, a reminder of those secret meetings:

(THREAD) This open thread provides live updates on former special counsel Bob Mueller's Congressional testimony before the House Judiciary Committee and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. I hope you will retweet this thread for any you think may be interested.
1/ After Rep. Nadler (D-NY) summarized the report in a few sentences, Rep. Collins (R-GA) deliberately and repeatedly mischaracterized its findings and concluded by saying falsely, "These are the facts of the report." They weren't—and he knew they weren't. A bad sign for the GOP.
2/ Mueller begins by saying he decided early on that he had to move expeditiously as well as fairly. He is already beginning his defense of closing up his office (in the view of many) "early" given still-open cases and subpoenas for testimony and documents that remain unanswered.
