NEW: DOJ acknowledged today it "inadvertently" altered Peter Strzok's notes about a Jan. 5, 2017 Oval Office meeting re: Flynn.

Still unexplained: DOJ didn't just err by attaching dates to the notes but by dating them incorrectly. It's the 3rd time DOJ/Flynn mislabeled them.
There's no dispute the meeting occurred on Jan. 5, yet DOJ and Flynn team keep leaving open the possibility it happened earlier.

This erroneous timeframe, though, lined up with an attack Trump deployed against Biden at the first presidential debate.
At the debate, Trump referenced Strzok's notes, accusing Biden of initiating "the idea for the Logan Act against General Flynn."

But the FBI began discussing the Logan Act in relation to Flynn on Jan. 4. So Trump's timeline doesn't match up with the Oval Office meeting.
Here is DOJ's explanaton of the dates on the Strzok notes: sticky notes someone forgot to remove when they were scanned >>>
NEW: An admission by DOJ that it "inadvertently" altered documents from Strzok and McCabe — filed as evidecne in the Flynn case —raise more questions about how those erroneously dated documents have been deployed by Trump and his allies.

NEW: PELOSI and Rep. RASKIN plan to introduce legislation tomorrow to establish a commission under the 25th Amendment charged with evaluating the president's mental/physical capacity. Image
RASKIN has already filed very similar legislation. It creates a congressional body (which is actually contemplated in the 25th amendment itself) made up of doctors, psychiatrists and former executive branch officials to make judgments if a president's health is failing.
Here is that Raskin bill, which tomorrow's 25th amendment announcement will be based on: congress.gov/bill/115th-con…

NEW: The FBI has unsealed details of an alleged plot by militia members to kidnap Gov. WHITMER — the conspirators had staked out her vacation home, obtained explosives and other equipment, preparing to execute it before the electon.

static.politico.com/e5/1d/aa6277a2…
The FBI first began tracking the militia involved in early 2020, but the plot came together by June. Confidential sources recorded conversations among the participants and gave the FBI access to their communications

static.politico.com/e5/1d/aa6277a2…
The alleged conspirators staked out Whitmer's vacation home on Aug 29 and in mid-Sept.

They planned to grab her — if not kill her outright — in October and hold a "trial" for "treason."

The allegations, supported by extensive evidence, are harrowing. static.politico.com/e5/1d/aa6277a2… ImageImage

Turmp's doctor repeatedly declines to say whether Trump required supplemental oxygen prior to today.
He also won't say what Trump's fever was. Says he'd "rather not" provide specifics.
Dr. Conley also won't get into Trump's testing history or when his last negative test was.

COMEY sworn in for his testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee this morning. Image
GRAHAM keeps misstating Carter Page's relationship with the CIA. He was an "operational contact" which is different than a "source" or someone being "tasked" by the CIA.

Comey keeps pointing this out.
Here is the explicit distinction, as explained in the Horowitz report. Being an operaitonal contact "does not allow for operational use of a U.S. person or tasking of that person." justice.gov/storage/120919… Image

???: DNI Ratcliffe has declassified a Russian intelligence assessment — which Ratcliffe says could be false or exaggerated — to suggest Clinton hatched a plan to pin Russian hacking onto Trump.

judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/… Image
I'm still wrapping my head around the idea that DNI just publicly released what it acknowledges in untested 2016 Russian intelligence chatter to raise derogatory questions about Hillary Clinton — which of course was Russia's goal when it was doing the chattering.
The substance aside: It's more evidence that Durham is not preparing to bring charges related to any of this. Anything is possible, but it would be extraordinary for Durham to allow evidence like this to go onto the public record if he was preparing related indictments.
