Mueller's right-hand man, tenacious terrorist nabber, and CYBERSECURITY expert. Might be seeing him in coming days.
"Zebley then started with the FBI on I-49, one of its most storied squads and part of the small group of agents in New York who were chasing Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda before September 11th."
"After Hannity's onstage appearance w/ Trump, Baier said "there was a lot of reaction inside company." He, MacCallum, Hume & Wallace addressed it @ pre-scheduled lunch w/ Fox chief exec Suzanne Scott & Fox President Jay Wallace on day of election." 1/

“Wallace & Scott told them Murdochs had been personally involved in statement that Fox News put out expressing disapproval of Hannity’s action. “We felt confident that they understood seriousness of moment, & that the news side needed to make sure [management] had our backs. " 2/
"Hannity later said Trump’s invitation to join him on stage was unexpected, which many at the channel disbelieved. “You know he’s lying through his teeth, right?” said one current Fox News staffer, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to talk candidly." 3/
🔥🔥👇👇 Read below. If true, this explains everything we have been seeing happen with FOX being silent on Twitter and Murdoch's quiet, after hours meeting with McConnell.

"Just so you know, Fox has made a corporate decision and will start to lessen its support of Trump." This is from an internal email that Murdoch's own Wall Street Journal has uncovered and is about to run a story on. 1/

p. 65: US intel distilled 35 pages of sourced material down to 1.5 pages to present to Trump in initial meeting, a "summary that focused on the allegation of coordination between the Russians and the [Trump] campaign." 2/
p.67: "All of the sources fit together and told a consistent story from different vantages in the Kremlin, Clapper said. These human sources had been so-called "legacy sources" -- they had been right in their intelligence and assessments over the years..." 3/
Nikki Haley's resignation press conference. Body language experts? Please chime in and share your thoughts. Her saying Jared Kushner is a "hidden genius" starts around 2:09.
Look at the way she pauses and closes her eyes: "Kushner is such a HIDDEN.... (searches for the word)... genius..."
Would love to hear what experienced prosecutors like @Delavegalaw and @YesMomsCan or profilers like @AshaRangappa_ think about Nikki Haley's word choices & body language in her resignation speech just one day after #Khashoggi went missing.

At bookstore to get the latest in my favorite series and guess what I impulse-bought? I'll share excerpts when I get home and pour a glass of wine.

"One particularly valuable source, who was considered so sensitive that Brennan had declined to refer to it in any way in Presidential Daily Brief during final months of the Obama administration." 1/ nyti.ms/2LyhO1C
"Instead, to keep the information from being shared widely, Mr. Brennan sent reports from the source to Mr. Obama and a small group of top national security aides in a separate, white envelope to assure its security." 2/
"Two weeks before his inauguration, Trump was shown highly classified intelligence indicating that Putin of Russia had personally ordered complex cyberattacks to sway the 2016 American election."

Happy Independence Day. In honor of those who fought & died for our freedom, with liberty & justice for ALL, we honor those who are quietly serving on the Special Counsel's team. Their mission to reveal the truth about the 2016 election is the most important in our history.

In light of revelations about retiring Justice Kennedy's son & his possible role in financing Trump's family while at Deutsche Bank, this 3-part investigation by @whowhatwhy is a MUST read. The names revealed within tie all the headlines together.
"Recent media reports confirm Deutsche Bank has been subpoenaed for records in relation to ongoing Russia collusion investigation. This development immediately raises questions: "
"Chiefly, what did a certain bankrupt but ambitious American real estate developer have in common with predatory Russian oligarchs who had been plundering their own country’s industry and generating vast currency flows out of their homeland since the 1990s?"
Reposting this crucial article from @whowhatwhy . If you don't follow them, you're missing out. Why FBI Can’t Tell All on Trump, Russia whowhatwhy.org/2017/03/27/fbi… via @whowhatwhy
"For more than 3 decades, FBI has had Trump Tower in its sights. Many occupants have been 🎯 of major investigations, others have been surveilled, & others have served as informants. One thing many of them have in common is deep ties to organized crime — including Russian mafia."
"The Russian mob has a breathtaking and underappreciated reach. It is so powerful that FBI Agent Peter Kowenhoven told CNN in 2009 that Semion Mogilevich, its “boss of bosses,” is a strategic threat, and a man who “can, with a telephone call or order, affect the global economy.”
Coincidentally, the man #MichaelCohen allegedly met in Prague, Konstantin Kosachev, was among those sanctioned by the US recently.
3/ "One sanctioned is sr member of Russia’s parliament, Konstantin Kosachev. Steele reported Kosachev was Kremlin’s representative at clandestine summer 2016 meeting w/Trump's lawyer to discuss how to conceal Russia’s efforts to help Trump defeat frontrunner Hillary Clinton."
1/ I'm obsessing over the excellent article @McClatchyDC just broke, written by @KevinGHall , @benbwieder & Greg Gordon. "Mueller’s investigators this week questioned an associate of Trump Orgwho was involved in overseas deals with company in recent years. amp.mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-wo…

THREAD: Ok listen up, people. Breathe. Think. Have you ever seen a group of grown ups REACTING so irrationally to the last 48 hr news cycle?
2. These are career politicians. They've seen some shit. They live w/stress. Yet the cascading TSUNAMI of news in the last 2 days has them
3. flinging their skirts over their heads, racing about in circles & doing completely irrational things. This is not how the innocent act.
1/. THREAD: If Paul Manafort and/or Mike Flynn are indicted, what does that mean for Mike Pence?
2/ Per CBS, Trump had offered Christie VP spot before GOP convention, but "reneged after others in inner circle convinced him otherwise."
3/ Recall that Pence was Manafort's handpicked VP choice, to the extent that he resorted to trickery to persuade Trump to choose Pence.
