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

    For those many people asking me abt Chait's piece, I still prefer my own series abt what Mueller is looking at, which has the advantage of incorporating actually known facts. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/05/02/the-mueller-questions-map-out-cultivation-a-quid-pro-quo-and-a-cover-up-part-one-cultivation/ …

        Reading through all the posts from the beginning. Is it possible, given the strong response he had to Flynn's firing and their reported closeness during the campaign, that Flynn was acting more as the manager of the Russia outreach and trump was relying on him to direct things?

        I think something like that is quite possible.

        Thanks. It just seems like if Flynn was not outed and had been able to funnel everything through him as he was aiming for we might be in a very different place right now

        Good call, no known facts in my piece at all

        FWIW, I took @jonathanchait's piece to be a high-level argument about what our expectations should be given the facts we know, not an exegesis of pertinent facts known to date which could fill multiple books

        I must admit, back in Oct'16, I was highly skeptical of the RU narrative (from a tech standpoint). In recent months, I've come to the decision to wait and see. I'll admit that your own journey on this subject gave me pause. This latest revelation helps explain some things.

        His speculation makes a better spy novel than journalistic piece

        Facts, as they say, have a well-known liberal bias.
