@woodruffbets Important: When MUELLER's team asked Trump a series of questions about Flynn's calls with Kislyak, he simply ignored them.

@woodruffbets OF NOTE: There is at least one transcript we don't have yet. It's this Dec. 22 call between Flynn and Kislyak about a UN vote on Israeli settlements.

The astonishing part of this is tactually that a person could believe Mattis' harsh words for Trump are "true, honest, necessary and overdue," and still be struggling with whether to vote for him.

This is not a logic problem in anything other than hyperpartisan government.
actually* of course.
"I believe Person X makes a mockery of the constitution, intentionally divides America and politicizes the military."

"Will you vote for person X?"

"Maybe."

🚨 Trump says Roger Stone won’t go to jail. He’s currently scheduled to report on 6/30.
IMPORTANT: Unlike the Flynn case, DOJ and Bill Barr himself have stood behind the prosecution of Stone, which Barr has referred to as "righteous."
We don't know if this is a promise for a pardon or a commutation. But it's certainly a promise of no jail for Stone, who a jury convicted of lying to Congress and threatening a witness.

NEWS: The lawmakers who interviewed ousted State IG LINICK say he asked Pompeo aides to set up an interview with the secretary shortly before his removal.

He asked to schedule it after the coronavirus crisis. Then Trump fired him.

The Dems' takeaways from the interview >>>
LINICK also told lawmakers he informed Pompeo's inner circle of the investigation into Pompeo and his wife's use of government resources — to avoid any surprises. But Pompeo recently said he was unaware of the probe.
Linick’s testimony kicks off what could be a perilous probe for Pompeo, and State’s first major confrontation with Congress since impeachment. politico.com/news/2020/06/0…
