We promise this is chocked full of insights:

Professors @alexgwhiting (@Harvard_Law) and @rgoodlaw (@nyulaw) team up:

"What Mueller’s Questions Reveal About the Future of the #RussiaInvestigation"

justsecurity.org/55562/muellers…
"Mueller’s questions about collusion show that it is likely that Mueller has already identified crimes involving collusion–such as a conspiracy to defraud the United States...–and Mueller is asking here only about Trump’s possible knowledge and personal involvement." /2
"The Mueller questions indicate that the House Intelligence Committee Majority completed its investigation into collusion prematurely ... and show that the majority’s report may have a short shelf life, soon to be overtaken by other revelations and events." /3
"One of the places Trump seems most vulnerable to perjury...if he tells Mueller he knew back then, in June 2016, about the Trump Tower meeting ... he will also contradict what Don Jr. reportedly testified to Congress–creating legal jeopardy for his son." /4

A deeeep dive:

"Major Takeaways from #MichaelCohen's Plea on Trump Moscow Project"

By @K8brannen and @rgoodlaw

with quotes from Just Security experts @normative @AndyMcCanse @lrozen @alexgwhiting @renato_mariotti
justsecurity.org/61671/major-ta…
Readers may be especially interested in the section titled:

"How might the Moscow Project connect up with allegations of collusion?"

which connects revelations in the Cohen guilty plea to great reporting by other journalists and analysts

justsecurity.org/61671/major-ta…
If Cohen is cooperating like this on Russia investigation, imagine what he may provide prosecutors in campaign finance (hush money) investigation.

Brannen and Goodman's analysis of Cohen's plea also refers to this earlier piece by @ThePaulSRyan:

Exclusive: U.N. Human Rights Experts Directly Engage With Facebook on "Overly Broad" Definitions in Regulating Terrorist Content

UN expert sends letter, two sides meet. So, how was the meeting?
justsecurity.org/60554/exclusiv…
UN Rapporteur @NiAolainF:

“I wish to emphasize the importance of ensuring that any relevant definitions adopted and employed by #Facebook are compatible with standards set by international law, including international #humanrights law and international humanitarian law.”
UN Rapporteur @davidakaye:

“It undermines the ability of #Facebook to push back against the efforts of governments to impose ever broader definitions of terrorism…when the standard is not tied closely to standards in #humanrights law and other international instruments.”

The argument that a criminal president should not be indicted rests on the premise that it would destabilize the government and interfere with the president fulfilling his constitutional duties. Trump has destabilized the government already and he's attacked the Constitution.
For a criminal sitting president who has held himself above the law, indicting @realDonaldTrump would help restore the rule of law and, through his removal, would help restore political stability.
Arguing that indicting Trump would impede him fulfilling his duties overlooks how often he neglects his duties to advance his own self-interests.

LB: “If US MSM outlets, or their inbred blog cousins, knowingly printed stories on behalf of agents/assets of a hostile foreign power, in order to assist an attack on our democracy, then that's not journalism or protected by 1A.
It's treason& they belong in prison.”

Where Do We Go From Here? powerlineblog.com/archives/2018/… via @powerlineUS
The Dems’ shameful treatment of Bork in 1987 has distorted our politics–not just the politics of the Supreme Court–for the last 30 years. But the slanders the Democrats directed toward Kavanaugh were even more disgraceful. We will feel their impact for many years to come.
So, looking to the future, what are the notable features of our political landscape?

1) #QAnon #SaveTheKids

I have been Twitter-silent of late, waiting for the next shoe to drop…and there are a closet full of shoes. It was a needed break as it has been a struggle watching the cabal continue to walk the streets.
2) The breathless screams about yesterday's #TreasonSummit warrant an immediate reply. The best place to start is to ask WHY? Why are the political left and the #MSM/#LSM claiming the Trump-Putin meeting to be treasonous? What is the basis?
3) Did you hear concerns of #Treason when #Traitor44 went around the world on his apology tour, disparaging the United States? They PRAISED #Obama for bowing to leaders of foreign nations & ridicule #POTUS for NOT BOWING in submission, as if we are subject to their kingdoms.

Senate confirmed Brian Benczkowski.

Someone with big ties to Putin, and virtually zero courtroom experience is now the next in line to replace Rosenstein at Justice.

How much further, America? Why are we letting the GOP pretend this is normal?

IS EVERYONE IN AMERICA INSANE?
What is more preposterous? That this is happening, or that the @NYtimes, @washingtonpost @CNN keep putting up apologists and stooges to make everyone feel this is just Democracy at work.

ONLY A TOTAL FOOL COULD NOT SEE THE MULTIPLE LEVELS OF CORRUPTION AT PLAY HERE.
@nytimes @washingtonpost @CNN Your country is literally being ripped out from under you, and you have no choice but to just watch it happen, because someone has to act fast, but no one knows what that means.

And the enemy knows it. So keep watching. We are all but certain to lose it all.

‼️Be Smart‼️

“Cambridge Analytica ...had had the [stolen] Clinton emails more than a month before they were published by WikiLeaks.”

Savor the implications. 🤗

It is fitting that Trump has been forced into retreat by babies. Cruelty should never be mistaken for strength.
‼️Be Smart2‼️

The dystopian Trump Admin is weaponizing gov’t by eviscerating regs that protect the 98% (those w/o money & power), & they’re weaponizing bureaucracy, in order to use it against everyone they don’t like, whether it’s immigrants or poor people or DEMs.

A new RU influence operation has surfaced that mirrors some of the activity of an internet firm that the FBI says was deeply involved in efforts to sway the 2016 U.S. elections, a cybersecurity firm says.
