To: Reporters covering news that Bannon told FBI that Fox News edited out an “embarrassing” part of interview on Trump's request.

Recall the Mueller Report indicated this was not an isolated incident with Fox....
2. From the Mueller Report:

Trump and Hope Hicks apparently believed Fox News would retroactively remove Trump's comments about @Comey from a 2017 interview with Fox's @MariaBartiromo before it aired.

👇
@Comey @MariaBartiromo 3. Note how Fox's Chris Wallace confirms request came from Trump, but Wallace's excuse is that he would have omitted portion of interview in any case because it didn't have news value.👇

Unredacted Ukraine emails show Elaine McCusker serves our country and the rule of law with honor.

White House just pulled the plug on her nomination.

"McCusker featured prominently in emails, published by The New York Times and Just Security."

politico.com/news/2020/03/0…
Two reasons White House might be taking this action:

1. Another retaliation against/purging official who followed the law on Ukraine.

2. As @connorobrienNH report notes, "confirmation hearing would have given" Senators "a rare opening" to question official on Ukraine aid.
@connorobrienNH Watch this space.

Does McCusker stay on in her current position as Senate-confirmed Deputy Under Secretary of Defense?

Powerful letter.

From: 60 former federal prosecutors, all alumni of US Attorney's Office for DC

To: Acting head of the office Tim Shea

RE: Political interference of Barr, Trump; need to assert independence

(@hsu_spencer reporting)
washingtonpost.com/local/legal-is…
2. The "letter was drafted independently by assistants to former U.S. attorneys Earl J. Silbert—an appointee of Richard Nixon ... and Thomas A. Flannery, another Nixon appointee..."

#CountryOverParty
3. Former prosecutors to Tim Shea:

Barr and Trump's actions "have created the perception that political interest has been married to substantive prosecutorial decisions at the highest level, and that the Office no longer is able, nor can it be trusted, to act independently."👇

Watch this space.

White House may be playing this move:

1. Nominate someone like Ratcliffe.

2. Senate will certainly not confirm.

3. Grenell remains in place under Vacancies Reform Act rather than leave by March 11 while the nomination of his successor lingers for MONTHS.
2. Section 3346 of the Vacancies Reform Act.👇

If Trump nominates Ratcliffe and then Senate rejects Ratcliffe (or Trump withdraws the nomination), Grenell gets to stay 210 days after the date of rejection/withdrawal.

hat tip @steve_vladeck

Plus it's important to emphasize....
@steve_vladeck @julianbarnes @maggieNYT @mkraju 3/3. It's important to emphasize:

This could have been Joseph Maguire (not Grenell) remaining in place long after March 11. There was no reason to dismiss Maquire.

For more on that aspect, this is a very good @EricColumbus interview with @atrupar:

This is the "reporter" who worked for decades at Fox News injecting poisonous conspiracy theories about Hillary Clinton into the national conversation.

Now CBS has hired her and she's giving Biden the same treatment.
Heretofore Herridge will be amplifying all of Grassley's efforts to continue Donald Trump's demands for foreign election interference.

Yes, @ChuckGrassley and @SenRonJohnson are feverishly "investigating" any possible "conflicts of interest" of the Bidens in Ukraine and China.
This bogus senate committee investigation is trying to put a legitimate face on the same dirty business Giuliani is involved in, and the efforts have been expanded to China.

Now they've got Fox AND CBS pushing the conspiracy theories meant to hurt Biden's election prospects.

<THREAD> A central question of the #ImpeachmentInquiry is Trump's insistence on using #RudyGiuliani to side-step traditional diplomatic channels. Why make Rudy your cyber-security advisor? Because it's a cover for Rudy to do what he's always done for Trump. @NarativLive
2. Which is why you should be watching my new podcast - it's a real-time deep investigation into Rudy that will become extremely relevant as the #ImpeachmentInquiry continues. in Part 1, we explained Donald and Rudy's ties to the #Russian #mob. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/nar…
3. In part 2, I explain how Rudy fits into The #Trump-Russia narrative and expose his cyber-security contracts as a slush fund for his back-channel diplomacy. @NarativLive podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/nar…

<THREAD> I'll have a live feed and analysis of tomorrow's #ImpeachmentInquiry hearing from 10am. Here's what I'm expecting. @NarativLive
1. The elephant in the room: Is #Trump and agent of Russia? That's because you can't talk about #Ukraine without talking about #Russia and #Putin. Watch "Ukraine In A Minute" below to find out why. @NarativLive
2. The Dems want to focus narrowly on the recent events involving Ukraine but Trump has attempted to meddle in Ukraine since before taking office. Here's a look at the first #Ukrainegate

<THREAD> Back in March I told you the #RogerStone case was the central crime In #Trump-Russia and for #Mueller's prosecution of #DonaldTrump. It was a ticking time bomb which began detonating in slow motion today. @maddow @narativlive narativ.org/2019/03/22/mue…
2. And in February I outlined how Oleg Deripaska was the central figure in that central crime. He still is. Kinda makes you regret taking that dirty money from him, doesn't it #MoscowMitch? Both these NARATIV'S are worth a re-read. @narativlive narativ.org/2019/02/06/der…
Join me on NARATIV next Wednesday for live coverage of the #ImpeachmentInquiry.

1) #Trump a toujours 1 sens politique des opportunités qui est très aigu...Il commence sa journée par 1 charge contre l'enquête #Mueller, réaffirmant qu'il n'y a AUCUNE collusion avec la #Russie...ET, 10 ms plus tard...RT
2)...#Trump fait 1 second tweet pour défier la #Russie et lui annoncer qu'elle ne pourra détourner les missiles US qui seront envoyés sur la #Syrie. Comment dès lors envisager en effet la moindre collusion...? RT
3) Il ne faut pas oublier qu'une nouvelle frappe- qui semble imminente- en #Syrie par les Etats-Unis de #Trump donnerait 1 nouvel argument en béton au président US pour liquider #Mueller sur le thème:"Quelle collusion? Assez perdu de temps, regardez ce que j'ai fait en Syrie".
