THREAD: What can we glean from the heavily redacted filing regarding the "bribery for pardons" scheme under investigation by the Justice Department?
1/ Today's unsealing, first reported by CNN's @kpolantz, indicates DOJ is investigating a "bribery for pardons' scheme but is heavily redacted.

Offering anything of value (including campaign contributions) for an official act is a federal crime.

Link: dcd.uscourts.gov/sites/dcd/file…
2/ A person under investigation in this scheme is an attorney and is acting as an "attorney-advocate," but that is distinct from the person's attempt to obtain a political pardon (see e.g. page 14)

1/ During his press conference, Cameron suggested the grand jury made the legal determination: "My job is to present the facts to the grand jury and the grand jury then applies those facts to the law."

Today he concedes that his team recommended the charges to the grand jury.
2/ During the press conference, Cameron was specifically asked whether his team made a recommendation to the grand jury, and he refused to answer the question because grand jury proceedings are secret.

That's true. But what he said next was highly misleading.
3/ The next sentence out of his mouth was: "What I will say is that we presented all of the information and they ultimately made a determination about whether to charge."

His words suggest that his team neutrally laid out the evidence and that the jury decided on its own.

THREAD: What can we learn from today's revelation from former Mueller lieutenant Andrew Weissmann that Mueller's team failed to take investigative steps because they feared that Trump would fire Mueller?
1/ Today the Atlantic published an article by George Packer in which Packer explores the forthcoming book from Andrew Weissman, who was one of Mueller's top deputies.

The article features an interview of Weissmann, and some significant revelations. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
2/ Weissman's revelations are shocking. @AWeissmann_ said the threat of being fired by Trump caused the Mueller team to pull punches.

He claims the decision not to subpoena Donald Trump Jr. to testify about the Trump Tower meeting was due to fear of Trump's reaction.
