      Just in from @maddow —> In a Jan. 2 letter, Dana Boente informed DOJ officials that Mueller's office asked to interview him. Boente was Acting AG after Trump fired Yates, then Acting DAG, then acting head of the National Security Division.pic.twitter.com/K1LjzccudF

      Big thing the Boente letter tells me is that Mueller was well into the "was there obstruction?" part of his investigation by the beginning of the year.

      Boente's contemporaneous notes reiterate Comey's testimony, which presumably is in his notes (& likely McCabe's notes as well). Of course it's not proof, but, given that Boente has been the one favored by Sessions and Trump, it seems notable that his account backs Comey's claim.pic.twitter.com/bZpjJQYogq

          [Of course, if this is a bust and these aren't actually Boente's notes, that's going to be a disaster for Maddow—and her efforts to push back against Trump—but she knows that, so I can't imagine she'd run with this (or the NBC lawyers would) unless they were pretty damn sure.]

          Chris Geidner Retweeted Zoe Tillman

          Less than 3 weeks after Boente informed DOJ senior officials that Mueller was asking for an interview, Boente was announced as FBI's general counsel — https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/23/politics/dana-boente-fbi/index.html … — and moved to the job the next week:https://twitter.com/ZoeTillman/status/956259615439818753 …

          Dana Boente is starting his new job as the FBI's general counsel on Monday, per email we obtained that he sent to the DOJ National Security Division today (he's been the division's acting head while also serving as US attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia) pic.twitter.com/pD9G1Zf6lj

          Hard to read much into that without knowing more — remember, we had known Boente was going to be leaving EDVA — but them's the facts!
