Live now on @MSNBC.
BREAKING: After another congressional closed-door interview, former FBI Director Comey comes out firing against President Trump’s “lying” and “mean tweets,” and Republicans who are trying to “slink away into retirement.”
Comey says he’s being questioned on Clinton’s emails and the Steele dossier, “while the president of the United States is lying about the FBI, attacking the FBI, and attacking the rule of law in this country. How does that make any sense at all?”

Seems like a thread on recent US practice w/r/t criminal prosecution of foreign sovereign entities might be of interest. @S_R_Anders @YesMomsCan @jedshug @ZoeTillman @lrozen @nycsouthpaw @kpolantz #Mueller #subpoena 1/19
For non-lawyers: to “quash” a subpoena, the recipient (defendant or witness) must show that compliance would be “unreasonable or oppressive.” A court can hold in contempt a witness “who, without adequate cause, disobeys a subpoena.” 2/19 law.cornell.edu/rules/frcrmp/r…

!! Mueller issues grand jury subpoenas to Trump adviser Roger Stone's social media consultant, Jason Sullivan, a Twitter specialist Stone hired during the 2016 election to work for the PAC he set up to support Trump.

Mueller issuing grand jury subpoenas to Roger Stone's "Twitter specialist" must have a lot of people sweating right about now. Here's a few reasons why: Despite their denials, Stone & Wikileaks were in contact during the 2016 presidential campaign.
#Maddow
Roger Stone was also in contact with and a defender of Guccifer 2.0, who, as it turns out, is a Russian intelligence officer [GRU], "bringing Mueller's investigation closer to the Kremlin —and to Trump."

NEW: Special Counsel Robert Mueller has issued two subpoenas to a "social media and Twitter specialist" who worked for Roger Stone during the 2016 presidential election campaign. 🎯

reut.rs/2k39zhW
The subpoenas suggest that Mueller is focusing in part on Stone and whether he had advance knowledge of material hacked by Russian intelligence and/or if he knew about WikiLeaks' plan to publish the material. .
This is the part I've been waiting for: Mueller also has reportedly been looking at whether anyone associated w/ the Trump campaign helped Assange or the Russians time or target the release of hacked emails and other social media promoting Trump or attacking HRC, per @Reuters.
