This is, assuming it’s true, a holy shit story: While Trump was preparing for the Republican convention in spring 2016, Michael Cohen was still negotiating Trump Tower Moscow and was working on a Trump-Putin meeting to take place after the convention to finalize the deal.
In addition, the Trump Organization was negotiating on the project with a Russian spy.

This guy seems nice. What's the over-under on Facebook taking action against his account, which I just reported?

Reminder: You have no reasonable expectation of privacy in threatening strangers.
Further reminder: If you send me abuse, I will out you. And that's a promise. No exceptions.
Update: Facebook's response.

This piece by @woodruffbets spins out what the White House lawyers and their allies imagine to be the mechanism by which they will stifle the Mueller findings, assuming they take the form of some kind of report that contains material plausibly covered by executive privilege.
Here is the simple reason why it won't work:
Even assuming that the executive privilege claims are valid and will be upheld and are sustainable in the face of the political pressure the administration will receive on the subject, and that is a heck of an assumption, executive privilege does not cover conclusions.

My question, @brithume, is what turns on this distinction you're drawing? The president has repeatedly said he had nothing to do with Russia--at a time he was endeavoring to build a large building there and Russian intelligence was hacking his political opponents.
At the very time he was calling on them to do so and praising Putin. At the very time his campaign staff and advisers were having meetings with Russian cutouts. Are you really contending that this is the sort of candor we should expect from our leaders?
Are you really contending that any of this is okay?

Trump is a pathological liar.

Thank you @TheRickWilson for saying it again & again.
Rick Wilson is only saying what we all know.

Even Republicans know the truth about their cult leader.

Ted Cruz on Trump: "Trump is a pathological liar"

Not just Rick Wilson and not just Republicans, the people in Trump's most inner circle know about Trump's dangerous lies.

Repeat often:

Trump's "dangerous" lies are "lapped up" by 1000's of folks according to Kellyanne Conway. I agree about that!

Trump is taking part in a roundtable event in New York to fear-monger about brown people. Follow me for a real-time video thread.
TRUMP on unaccompanied undocumented minors: "They look so innocent. They're not innocent."
Trump details violent crimes committed by immigrants in grisly detail, defends his "animals" comment: "They aren't people. These are animals. And we have to be very, very tough."
