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

    Killing two birds with one stone: This is the "leak" that Manafort is complaining about. Instead DOJ (Weissmann) *received* information.https://twitter.com/ZoeTillman/status/1012730037282406401 …

    So far we've heard from the FBI special agent who searched Manafort's storage unit. He said the govt learned that Manafort had a unit during a meeting with AP reporters in April 2017, when the AP shared and asked Qs about what it had learned during an investigation into Manafort

        Why is this a story? Is there something odd about investigators finding something out from the press? Has no one seen "All the President's Men"?

        I seem to recall reading that the Mueller team didn't know about the Trump tower meeting until the Times reported it. Did I dream that?

        It makes sense. At that stage, Mueller was just piggybacking on Congressional document requests. Full story of how Don Jr's emails leaked is not yet known. But whether the story came from Congress or elsewhere (Akhmetshin was trying to get it out), Mueller wouldn't yet have email

        All the while, scumbag @SaraCarterDC was writing bogus stories, fed to @devinnunes, aired on @seanhannity. The incestuous cycle continues. The Carter story was the pretext for this claim of leaks.

        Please don't call her a scum bag. She's a generally ill-informed reporter transcribing what she gets leaked. But that doesn't necessarily make her a scum bag.

        Sigh, you’re right. I apologize. But let’s also not pretend that being ill-informed is not coupled with intentional malice.

        Investigators often rely on media articles and public records as leads on investigations. This is a not worth mentioning in a story.
