Schwartz phoned Fairbanks “Arthur Schwartz was extremely angry,” she said. He told her that people would have been able to overlook her previous support of WikiLeaks, but they would not be so forgiving now that she was “more informed”
“He brought up my 9yo child during these comments, which I perceived as an intimidation tactic,” she said in the witness statement. Schwartz repeatedly told Fairbanks to stop advocating for WikiLeaks and Assange, saying that “a pardon isn’t going to f***ing happen”

What do Bill Clinton and Oliver North have in common, along with the Arkansas State Police and the CIA? All probably wish they had never heard of Mena, Arkansas
Clintion was asked about if a base in Mena was "set up by Oliver North and the CIA" in the 1980s and used to "bring in planeload after planeload of cocaine" for sale in the US, with the profits then used to buy weapons for the Contras. Was he told as Arkansas governor?
"No," Clinton replied, "they didn't tell me anything about it." The alleged events "were primarily a matter for federal jurisdiction. The state really had next to nothing to do with it."

Prosecutors trying to gain the cooperation of Walt Nauta called his lawyer Stanley Woodward and summoned him to a meeting at DoJ HQ for an urgent matter that they were reluctant to discuss over the phone
Woodward arrived and was seated across from several prosecutors working on the investigation, including the chief of the counterintelligence section, Jay Bratt, who explained that they wanted Nauta to cooperate with the government against Trump
Bratt then turned to Woodward and noted that he knew Woodward had applied to be a judge at the superior court in DC
The allegation is that Bratt suggested Woodward’s judicial application might be considered more favorably if he and his client cooperated against Trump
