Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    Reupping this bc I'm flabbergasted reporters covering this story don't understand this. Q abt statement on June 9 meeting isn't whether Don Sr or Jr dictated it. It's whether Putin did. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/06/02/the-non-denial-denial-in-trumps-response-on-the-june-9-meeting-statement-did-putin-dictate-the-statement/ … That's a Q abt "collusion," not obstruction.https://twitter.com/kaitlancollins/status/1004346193290330112 …

    Can someone explain to me how the president dictating a misleading statement on Air Force One with a bunch of White House officials on board is a matter for the outside counsel?

        I think there’s near zero chance that happened. What possibly leads you to think this is anything other than what we see daily where Trump lies to spin every event?

        That Putin wrote Trump's statement about the Trump Tower meeting or that Putin and Trump communicated about it in any way.

        Assume that, by "Putin dictated the letter," you mean that, in their 1:1 convo @ Hamburg dinner, Trump told Putin abt pending NYT questions, and, putting their heads together, Putin coached him on what to say. I.e., the 'gist' of the response prepared on AF1 came from Putin.

        Yes. And the adoption part of that may be less problematic than stuff Trump hasn't already admitted to.

        When I first read the tweet, I thought it was funny. Haha. Putin wrote. Then I read the post and it’s dead serious, makes total sense.

        In fairness to KC, she's asking why the WH can't answer any question about the dictation story change and is deferring to outside counsel.

        Replying to @CapulettiM

        Perhaps she would have been better served by asserting "WH refusal to answer this makes it clear it's far more than an inaccurate statement." She says, now, she's not asking, that she knows the answer. Great. I await her publishing it.

        You need a bigger audience. You’re one of the clearer headed people on everything related to Trump legal matters.

        Maybe you'll have to do it yourself? A few of your op-eds in recent months have gotten a mainstream conversation going a bit on certain topics.

        Collins is saying people @ing her misunderstand her sarcasm.
