    There it is—Jury questionnaire for Manafort's upcoming trial in DC lists Sam Patten as someone whose name "may come up in connection with this case." (Patten pleaded guilty last week to failing to register as a foreign lobbyist for Ukraine's Opposition Bloc.)

    Wow. "Given the instability many witnessed, there were early whispers within the cabinet of invoking the 25th Amendment."

    Whoa...the NYT just posted an Op-Ed from an anonymous senior White House official: "The root of the problem is the president’s amorality. Anyone who works with him knows he is not moored to any discernible first principles that guide his decision making."

    New—That mock special counsel interview Dowd did with Trump centered around Michael Flynn, according to Woodward. Trump doesn't rule out that he was told before firing him that Flynn lied to the FBI. Additional details from "FEAR", which I obtained today:

    Fred Guttenberg, whose daughter died in the Parkland shooting, tells that Kavanaugh not only wouldn’t shake his hand—he asked security to remove Guttenberg from the hearing, and identified him by the bracelets he wears to commemorate his daughter.

    Just walked up to Judge Kavanaugh as morning session ended. Put out my hand to introduce myself as Jaime Guttenberg's dad. He pulled his hand back, turned his back to me and walked away. I guess he did not want to deal with the reality of gun violence.

    Per Bob Woodward, Dowd did a practice session with Trump to prepare him for a Mueller interview, peppering him with questions about the Russia investigation and “provoking stumbles, contradictions and lies until the president eventually lost his cool.”

    Crazy story. The wife of former NRA president David Keene tried to find five million barrels of Russian jet fuel— “nearly double what all of Russia’s refineries export in a month” — to sell to a man in Virginia. And she asked Maria Butina for help.

    For example, FISA doesn't require (or even really contemplate) hearings before a court grants a wiretap application. If lawmakers are shocked by that, as some profess to be, they could of course change the law.

    Wow. FISA court issued spying warrants targeting major party presidential campaign WITHOUT EVEN A HEARING! So much abuse, so little accountability. The people who want to be put back in charge of our great country want to just sweep it all under the rug & talk about none of it.
