I had forgotten Eisenberg's role in the Mueller probe -- he provided pretty significant testimony against Flynn in that investigation.
Eisenberg also urged KT McFarland to defy Trump's order to create a paper trail declaring that Trump didn't order Flynn to contact the Russian ambassador.

Why?

"Because it looked as if my ambassadorial appointment was in some way a quid pro quo."
It's worth noting because Eisenberg is one of about 5 or 6 people mentioned in the Mueller report who still work for the White House. Others include Kellyanne Conway, Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump and Stephen Miller.

SCHIFF memo on impeachment procedures indicates he plans to yield "extensive time" to the committee's Democratic lawyers. They include Dan Noble andDan Goldman: Get used to seeing them on TV.

intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…
Not a lot in here that we didn't already know. Schiff does indicate he views efforts to out the whistleblower as a potential ethics breach and breach of decorum. intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…
Also, if you're not Adam Schiff, Devin Nunes, Steve Castor, Dan Noble or Dan Goldman, chances are you'll have very little role in the impeachment harings. Schiff makes clear members won't get their 5 minutes of questioning until the extended questioning by these five is done.

JUST IN: Laura Cooper impeachment testimony is live. docs.house.gov/meetings/IG/IG…
COOPER says Senior State Dept. / Pentagon officials questioned whether the president had the legal authority to block congressionally approved Ukraine aid without notifying Congress.
COOPER believed that Ukraine military assistance had to be out the door by Aug. 6 or else it might not be out in time for the end of the fiscal year -- a breach of Congress' legally required appropriation.

“Trump said on Sunday that the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, should not testify before Congress, setting up another confrontation with Democrats over presidential authority and the separation of powers.” ⁦@nytimes⁩ nytimes.com/2019/05/05/us/…
⏰ FEAR? How are the @TheJusticeDept & @FBI dealing with all this? Everyone “just following orders"? Going along to get along? Is their allegiance to Trump, the @GOP, some ideology, or to the constitution? Are they powerless? Looking for excuses & pretexts to hide in the shadows?
“Fascism is a form of radical, right-wing, authoritarian ultranationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society & of the economy, which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.” - WikiPedia @Wikipedia

This article has provoked a lot of commentary today. Most of the commentary from the the left has been alarmist, though some (like @SethAbramson) have been dismissive. I don’t think either response is appropriate. 1/16
There was every reason to expect that Mueller would go into action again shortly after the election; we didn’t need this article to know that. 2/16

Trump: “There was no talking to Russia. There was no phone calls. I didn’t make phone calls to Russia. I didn’t receive phone calls. I didn’t have meetings. I didn’t have texts. Anything. I have nothing to do with Russia.” #mueller tinyurl.com/yahwud9s
2/ It’s very telling that this is the way Trump thinks collusion has to work to be collusion. But no one in his or her right mind has ever supposed that the collusion would be that ham-fisted. #mueller
3/ It’s not as though Mueller is trying to find an email that says: “I hereby commit myself to lifting sanctions if and when elected, if you, Vladimir Putin, agree to help my campaign by hacking and disseminating Hillary’s emails.” --(signed) Donald J. Trump.
