1. On #Pardons: I still haven't seen the text of any of these pardons. I've checked Papadopoulos' docket in DC and so far nothing filed. I figured he's active on social media and in time may be wondering where his pardon is. I want to read its purported scope.

2. And on the "not-yet-charged" pardon like Nixon, this has never been tested to my knowledge. Plus I don't think you can pardon an on-going conspiracy. It would be immunity.

Under-reported was a little dance in Manafort's EDVA trial where he had challenged Mueller's authority.

3. In April 2018, the government had to produce the August 2, 2017 Rosenstein memo addressing scope of Mueller remit. This redacted document formed part of Flynn's alleged pardon. What was the crime we couldn't be told about in Manafort's trial that Trump thinks he's pardoned?

4. cont.

5. Will Trump will try to have this classified so we can never see it?

6. Here's my link to Fynn's pardon that incorporates offenses in the "subsequent memoranda regarding the Special Counsel's investigatory authority." That includes the redacted Rosenstein memo. @Maddow @lawrence

7. This will hopefully help explain my obsession with seeing the actual pardon. It might be helpful if Manafort got himself arrested and was forced to produce it. But I'm sure Paulie is too smart to go on a bender.

8. The key is that Flynn has admitted he is guilty of all these secret crimes under the #SCOTUS Burdick holding. Were you a Flynn victim? Wouldn't you like to know so you can sue him?

9. I did a little research on investigations related to pardons and found that a month after Clinton pardoned Marc Rich, Mary Jo White @SDNYnews USA issued a subpoena for all the attorneys materials and looks to me like she got them. Because it was not adversarial no AC priv.

10. Here is the case. In re Grand Jury Subpoenas Dated March 9, 2001, 179 F.Supp.2d 270 (S.D. N.Y. 2001).

This is going to be fun. I don't see any reason for SDNY to not call Manafort in for grand jury session. I'm sure he'll cooperate.
