BREAKING: House General Counsel told the US Court of Appeals today that they need the Mueller GJ testimony bc they're investigating whether Trump lied to Mueller in the written answers he gave the OSC. Not a small bit of news! #MondayMotivation cnn.com/2019/11/18/pol…
2-"the House hasn't been able to see what Manafort told the grand jury, which Mueller apparently described in his report. In the Mueller report, grand jury details are redacted related to a sentence describing Manafort speaking with Trump after WikiLeaks' first release, in July
3-"Manafort's "situation shows so clearly that there is evidence, very sadly, that the President might have provided untruthful answers and this is a key part of the impeachment inquiry," Letter said Monday in the last words of his arguments to the three-judge appellate panel."

NYT reporting that paving the way for Afghan peace talks with the Taliban, Taliban freed two Westerners they had held for more than three years this am, in exchange for the release of three senior insurgent leaders. Yikes! #TuesdayThoughts nytimes.com/2019/11/19/wor…
Taliban today released an American, Kevin C. King, 63, & an Australian, Timothy J. Weeks, 50, teachers at the American U in Kabul who were abducted in 2016. The key figure being returned to the Taliban is Anas Haqqani, the younger brother of the Taliban’s military operations ldr.
"exchange was brokered, in part, by the American peace envoy, Zalmay Khalilzad, who had earlier negotiated a tentative agreement with the Taliban that would have included terms of an American troop withdrawal. But those talks were abruptly aborted by President Trump in Sept."

A little while ago, the WH released a statement denying the 'speculation' about Trump's visit to Walter Reed this w/e. Odd to release it at such a late hour, and as @lawrence points out, we haven't seen his face since the visit..& they lie #TuesdayThoughts washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
2-"It is unusual for a president to do a physical exam in multiple stages months apart, and the circumstances surrounding Trump’s visit renewed questions about the White House’s handling of his medical information, according to several experts.
3-"On Monday, he remained out of public view, holding his meetings behind closed doors. He met with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell inside the White House residence rather than the Oval Office, according to a White House official familiar with the matter..

Here's Thomas Friedman's op pc from NYT today wherein he hands Pompeo his own head. Threading bc it's what we all want to say so a paywall should not prevent anyone from reading this. #MondayMotivation

2-"It seems like every story you read about Secretary of State Mike Pompeo always includes the sentence that he graduated “first in his class” from West Point. That is not a small achievement. But it is even more impressive in Pompeo’s case when you consider that he finished
3-"No. 1 even though he must have flunked all his courses on ethics and leadership. I guess he was really good in math. I say that because Pompeo has just violated one of the cardinal rules of American military ethics and command: You look out for your soldiers, you don’t leave

#BREAKING: The House of Representatives is now investigating whether Trump lied to special counsel Robert Mueller in written answers about Wikileaks, the House's general counsel said in federal court Monday.
cnn.com/2019/11/18/pol…
In Sept., lawyers for the House of Representatives said they have reason to believe that the grand-jury redactions in special counsel Mueller’s report show that Trump lied about his knowledge of his campaign’s contacts with Wikileaks.

During Roger Stone's trial last week, Rick Gates testified about a July 31, 2016 phone call he witnessed while riding in a car w/ Trump. That was 9 days after Wikileaks released the hacked DNC emails. Gates says he saw Stone’s # on Trump’s caller ID and heard Stone’s voice... 1/

House lawyers said more than a month ago that they were investigating whether Trump lied to Mueller:

politico.com/story/2019/09/…
One of the reasons Dems went to court to get Mueller grand jury material was to test Trump's truthfulness.

“Those materials...have direct bearing on whether the president was untruthful...when ...he denied being aware of any communications between his campaign and WikiLeaks,”
WORTH NOTING: Democrats have known what's underneath the Mueller report redactions re: Roger Stone for months. They negotiated access to see the full report (except for grand jury material) a while back.

So Dems didn't learn a whole lot from the trial that they didn't know.

#Mueller's already dealt fatal blows to Trump & GOP propagandists. He said 1) he didn’t indict b/c of OLC memo, 2) "no collusion no obstruction, total exoneration" is false, & 3) he won't address "origins" of the probe or Steele dossier b/c they’re under review. #MuellerHearing
@RepJerryNadler @HouseJudiciary 🤯🙄A Republican Sensenbrenner actually asked #Mueller this question: If you knew from the outset that your office wasn't going to indict the president (b/c OLC guideline prevented it), why even investigate him?
#MuellerHearings #MuellerHearing
@RepJerryNadler @HouseJudiciary #Mueller is calm but not exactly poker-faced. He just gave a disgusted sneer at crazy Louis Gohmert shouting that Trump "wasn't obstructing justice, he was pursuing justice because he's INNOCENT"! Even the gallery laughed. #MuellerHearings #MuellerHearing

Conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi in plea negotiations with Mueller, which could shed light on whether Trump or his advisers were linked to WikiLeaks’ release of hacked Democratic emails in 2016 washingtonpost.com/politics/stone…
"Word is friend in embassy plans 2 more dumps. One shortly after I'm back. 2nd in Oct. Impact planned to be very damaging."

Corsi informed Stone about the planned WikiLeaks Dem email releases 2 months in advance.

And Mueller has the exchange. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"Stone responded, "Get to (Assange) [a]t Ecuadorian Embassy in London and get the pending (WikiLeaks) emails."

Corsi passed the request along to conservative author Ted Malloch in London"

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.
