  6. Any comment from on this? (FWIW, I never refuse an apology, however late. I'm happy to take it from Ken now or in mid-spring, when the Mueller probe will without question still be ongoing.)

    Does it actually need to be said that UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER should Trump be permitted to send Maria Butina back to Moscow while she still has value to federal prosecutors as a participant in a conspiracy to establish a secret backchannel between Trump and the Kremlin?

  8. Either this is further proof that Trump will agree with any idea he likes at the moment he hears it, even if he's never thought about it previously, or the President of the United States is seriously threatening to seize unprecedented power in a way that should scare *everyone*.

  9. Just because a shutdown doesn't stop Mueller's work doesn't mean it doesn't benefit Trump—which, along with maintaining some kind of fan base, has always been his main consideration, rather than the good of Americans, even members of his base. via

    Trump Suggests Shutdown Could Last ‘Months or Even Years’

  11. 4/ A third possibility, but one not worth discussing because Mitch McConnell is ultimately not a functioning human soul, would be the House and Senate bypassing Trump to strike a deal that's veto-proof. I think we're many weeks away from McConnell being willing to go that route.

  12. 3/ Trump's shutdown will therefore end whenever his dangerous mental and emotional pathologies permit it to—an unknowable in the equation—or Democrats decide to cave to Trump's instability, which would be just as dangerous a precedent as that instability is in the first instance.

  13. 2/ In other words, the only analysis of the shutdown worth a damn is an analysis that says Trump's mental and emotional pathologies are dangerous and mean the shutdown could last a few more hours or many months. That's been my perspective from the moment the government shut down.

  14. I haven't written on the shutdown because in the years I spent negotiating on a daily basis as a defense lawyer, one thing I learned was you can't analyze a negotiation strategy effectively if your negotiating partner is irrational. Trump's shutdown can't be competently analyzed.

  16. 5/ If Butina has already given intel to prosecutors, we can dispense with the fiction that she has any desire to return home to face the wrath of Putin's intel apparatus, which she'd have to betray to plead guilty. So yes, we should assume she wants to offer continued assistance.

  17. 4/ If Trump overruled federal prosecutors working on the Butina case to return her to Moscow, it'd be a scandal—even taken on its own terms and exclusive of any other lines of inquiry in the Russia investigation—on the order of Watergate. Everyone in media should understand this.

  18. 3/ Butina has continued value as a witness at future trials, before Congress or for impeachment; as an expert on a historic conspiracy involving Russia, the White House, GOP officials and the National Rifle Association; and broadly as an intel expert on Kremlin covert activities.

  19. 2/ I just read a CNN article NEUTRALLY assessing this possibility as though such an act wouldn't be PUBLIC EVIDENCE of Trump's participation in the very conspiracy that will go down in American history as the worst act of treachery ever participated in by an American politician.

    Many of you have wanted for a long time to hear someone come at me hard about my Trump-Russia research on radio or TV. Dan Abrams just did that on SiriusXM, and you can hear for yourself how I handled it and draw your own conclusions. (h/t )
