By @rgoodlaw

And here’s a quick <thread> of what’s in Goodman’s analysis of the Report … 1/5
justsecurity.org/55479/evidence…

There were witnesses to Comey’s phone calls with Trump:

Goodman: “The FBI General Counsel and FBI Director’s chief of staff listened in on James Comey’s side of at least some phone conversations with the president.” 2/5

Threats to Comey if did not lift cloud of Russia investigation:

Goodman: “The FBI Director and Deputy Director interpreted one of the president’s phone calls as threatening Comey if he did not lift the cloud of the Russia investigation.” 3/5

Threats to McCabe if FBI did not lift cloud of Russia investigation:

Goodman: “The FBI Director and Deputy Director were also concerned that the president was threatening to take action against McCabe if the FBI Director did not lift the cloud of the Russia investigation.” 4/5

“Minority report…ties specific timing of McCabe’s testimony to Trump's going after not only McCabe but also the FBI’s General Counsel. Recall that the GC was present during McCabe's testimony…and the GC was also then told by the Committee that he may be called as a witness” 5/5
