@SteveKornacki .@SteveKornacki on the early results coming in after most polls close at 7PM: "To see Biden at 5% and to see Klobuchar at 20%, that is suggesting to me, the potential there, that Klobuchar took a giant piece of the Biden base along with her."

BREAKING: 2 prosecutors in the case against Roger Stone, a longtime ally of the US president, resign from case after US Justice Dept. reportedly backpedals on length of Stone's recommended sentence; change came after the president tweeted about the case.

on.msnbc.com/2HlbmdT
NEW: In new memo, US prosecutors now say a 87-108 month sentence for Roger Stone “could be considered excessive and unwarranted,” declining to recommend a specific sentence and instead yielding to judge to consider an “appropriate” sentence under facts and circumstances of case.

BREAKING: AG Barr is taking control of legal matters of interest to President Trump, including the Roger Stone sentencing, according to multiple people familiar with the matter. nbcnews.to/31Qla9h
On Tuesday, all 4 line prosecutors withdrew from the case against Stone, and 1 quit the dept. altogether — after Barr and his top aides intervened to reverse a stiff sentencing recommendation of up to 9 years in prison that the line prosecutors had filed with the court Monday.
Senior officials at the Justice Dept. also intervened last month to help change the government's sentencing recommendation for President Trump's former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, who pled guilty to lying to the FBI.

💣So Busted💣

Trump Knew of WBC Which Likely Prompted Him To Release The Aid to Ukraine

Which means he would have known about it before he told Sondland there was 'no quid pro quo.'

Trump throws Rudy under the bus:

Trump Denies Sending Rudy Giuliani to Ukraine for Biden Probe
💣So Busted💣

Cipollone & Eisenberg —knew about the whistle-blower complaint in August & briefed Trump in late August about it.

Trump administration officially put hold on Ukraine aid same day as Trump call 7/25;

Per Sandy Transcript Trump ordered hold 7/12/19 per email.
💣So Busted3💣

ICIG Atkinson, concluded that the administration needed to send it to Congress.

But Cipollone & Eisenberg disagreed.

They decided that the adm could withhold from Congress the whistle-blower’s accusations because they were protected by executive privilege.

😨Ex CIA Bob Baer suggests the “urgent credible threat” in the whistleblower complaint (that DNI won’t give Congress) ”usually” has something to do w/ someone in White House setting up an illegal backchannel to a foreign govt, or some sort of corruption, discovered by CIA or NSA.
🚨>> Whistleblower complaint involves TRUMP’S communications with a foreign leader that included a “promise” regarded so troubling it prompted an official in the US intelligence community to file a formal whistleblower complaint with the inspector general. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
In the weeks before the “urgent & credible” whistleblower complaint about Trump’s “promise” to a foreign leader, he had interactions with:
1) Russia’s Putin that WH initiated
2) 2 “beautiful” letters from North Korea’s Kim Jong Un
3) Pakistan’s PM
4) Netherlands’ PM
5) Qatar emir
