@JasonLeopold @a_cormier_ @ZoeTillman @LoopEmma @ellievhall Rick Gates, who served as Trump’s deputy campaign chair, told investigators that the Republican National Committee had “non-public information” about the timing of the Wikileaks releases, but “did not specify who at the RNC knew this information.”

@JasonLeopold @a_cormier_ @ZoeTillman @LoopEmma @ellievhall Michael Cohen was directed to write the misleading letter Congress re Trump Tower Moscow to:
1- piggyback off Kushner’s prior statement
2- “shape the narrative and let other witnesses know what Cohen said to keep the same message. This was Kushner’s approach to public messaging.”

@JasonLeopold @a_cormier_ @ZoeTillman @LoopEmma @ellievhall Senior White Advisor Jared Kushner's “approach to public messaging” was to direct witnesses to release false, public statements to Congress so other witnesses could get their lies straight –– which is witness tampering.
And yet, Kushner wasn't indicted.

@JasonLeopold @a_cormier_ @ZoeTillman @LoopEmma @ellievhall Feb 2018: Steve Bannon tells Mueller he "got to know" Robert Mercer in 2015 and only spoke with him by phone. That's a lie.
Bannon has known Robert Mercer since ~2012 and met with in person many times, including aboard Mercer's yacht in 2013 when they formed Cambridge Analytica.

@JasonLeopold @a_cormier_ @ZoeTillman @LoopEmma @ellievhall As @profcarroll points out, Bannon also lied to the FBI when he claimed he never went to the UK, when in fact, he went to the UK to meet with Nix to set up Cambridge Analytica.
And yet, Bannon wasn't charged with lying to the FBI.
