This is incredible. The Trump admin caught red-handed in a cover-up in a federal court case.
I know it’s become a weird trite cliche, but literally: this isn’t normal! The DOJ just explicitly concealing documents from courts is anomalous and disturbing. And speaks to how nefarious the Trump admin’s intentions were.
To be clear: DOJ says it was all “inadvertent” but the entirety of their case rested on bad faith and misdirection. So...

I feel like American press coverage has failed to adequately convey the scale of anti-Muslim persecution happening and intensifying around the world.

China has millions of Muslims in re-education camps, and millions more under constant, punishing surveillance.
Modi has Kashmir under lockdown, and is pushing anti-Muslim immigration legislation.

Aung San Suu Kyi is defending her government's ethnic cleansing of Muslims before the ICC.
Here in the US, the President was able to finally get his "Muslim ban" in extremely attenuated form, though the changes never cleansed its moral stain. And there are still millions of Muslims around the world who cannot come to the US because of it.

I read Alexander Stille’s biography of Berlusconi a few days after Trump was elected and I still return to it. Probably the closest modern analogue.

Here’s a piece from 2013 with more than a few parallels.

It’s a great read

Among other things, Berlusconi got caught in an illegal scheme to manufacture dirt on his political rival.

Trump's defenders focus on the Russia investigation's origins to avoid talking about its results:
-272 contacts
-37 indictments
-8 guilty pleas or convictions
-10 instances of obstruction of justice
And much, much more
themoscowproject.org/explainers/tru…
Those guilty pleas and convictions include:
-Trump's campaign chairman
-His deputy campaign chairman
-His first National Security Adviser
-His personal lawyer
-His long-time political adviser
themoscowproject.org/dispatch/yes-m…
And yes, those guilty pleas and convictions add up to collusion—a coordinated campaign to work with and benefit from a hostile foreign government's attack on American democracy.

(Thread) Trump’s “defenses”

Spoiler: They’re not working this time, partly because Trump lost control of the narrative.

First, let’s be clear on what Trump and Giuliani tried to do.

In addition to inviting a foreign country to help sway the 2020 election on Trump's behalf. . .
1/ . . .Trump (at Russia's behest) tried to get Ukraine to admit that Ukraine, not Russia, attacked the 2016 election. See:
npr.org/2019/09/28/765…
Thus Trump & Putin teamed up to bully Ukraine into saying former Ukrainian officials were the guilty party.
See @JuliaDavisNews
@JuliaDavisNews 2/ Because the whistleblower uncovered the plot, we don’t know how it would have unfolded.

Trump isn’t usually caught by surprise by a story.

Trump usually manufactures stories, catching everyone else by surprise, watching as everyone plays whack-a-lie.

Raab answering Grieve urgent question on meaningful vote parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/66…
Raab: "Any amendments to the motion will not be able to affect amendments to the withdrawal agreement.... nor could they delay our departure from the EU"
That makes no sense. If MPs were to pass an amendment demanding the government petition for an extension of A50, surely that would overrule the first decision of parliament to trigger it.
