(THREAD--7 TWEETS). According to CNN’s Manu Raju, it is likely that the House Intel Committee will write two reports: a committee report and a minority report by the Democrats. tinyurl.com/yaz2k984
1/ According to Jim Himes (D-Conn), who is cited in Raju’s article, Democrats maintain that 
2/ OF COURSE Himes is right that the Papadopoulos indictment and the controversy over the June 9 meeting in Trump Tower is only the tip of the iceberg. If Republicans like Rep. Conaway, the chair of House Intel, really do believe otherwise, they are delusional.
3/ OF COURSE Papadopoulos told higher-ups in the campaign that he had learned from Mifsud in London in April of 2016 that the Kremlin had dirt on Clinton in the form of hacked emails.
4/ Anyone who thinks that the indictment the Mueller probe filed with the court on 5 Oct 2017 is the end of the story hasn’t read the indictment--or read it carefully enough. Here’s what it says in the first paragraph of the Statement of the Offense tinyurl.com/y87w4xn5
5/ Mueller has done with Papadopoulos what he has done with the 50,000 emails of the presidential transition team he obtained from the GSA: he has simply set a trap for everyone involved, to catch them in obstruction of justice and lying to the FBI.
6/ If the Republicans on House Intel write a committee report that says that this part of the RussiaGate narrative has been wrapped up and is a nothing burger, they will be writing a report that will show to voters in 2020 if not in 2018
7/ that they are NOT serious about investigating RussiaGate, and that they are either incompetent or in denial about what they are afraid they will find. (Actually they are both.) END
