      What’s keeping people who *have* seen the timing from flipping out more? Are we all trained to expect that criminals will hide criminal conduct? Or is this just Friday / early in the news cycle? This feels like a huge smoking gun, just like @emptywheel said.

      I'm not shy abt offering "informed speculation" ("informed" according to me), but with this I'm not as informed as I'd like to be. IMO the sober people have been saying: As far as we know, Russia hacked/fished independently of stuff Trump said. 1/

      … though the timing of releases may have been coordinated. Now Mueller tells us there's at least a "post hoc" connection btwn Trump's public statements asking RU for help & RU's acquisition of files from Clinton, et al. But I think better-informed ppl will see more to this. 2/2

      1/ Thx. That part I get. Here's what's puzzling me: > Where the indictment specifies "July 27" & "after hours" & "for the first time" – it's labeled "For example..." IOW, seems they have & could have used different examples. So…

      > Why use THAT example – when it's not necessary for the indictment, but when Mueller knows the press knows the significance of those details b/c Trump's 7/27 presser? > I'm looking for good theories for why Mueller did that – beyond, "He's signalling he has more." 2/2

      It is an important phrase -- should be careful about drawing inferences from timings generally, but indictment language is very precise -- but it's also noteworthy that it *doesn't* make the connection explicit, which means they don't want to make that connection publicly (yet?).

      Replying to @pwnallthethings @KDbyProxy and

      For example, with the level of detail they have to make this indictment, they probably know whether that connection exists with stronger evidence than timing. So we either wait and they'll eventually publish it, or it doesn't exist. In either case, caution now doesn't hurt.

      Yes. They're saying "post hoc", leaving us to wonder if they'll ever say "propter hoc" (w/o the ergo). Still, *why* did Mueller do that? Tbc, there's no way to know, but I have a hankering for theories!

      Replying to @KDbyProxy @emptywheel and

      My guess is they can connect it, but are leaving it for future indictments because that would implicate Americans and this is a "not-Americans" indictment. But I also tend to think it's a dangerous game to get carried away with over-reading phantoms at the edges, so safer to wait

          Rough days ahead for the country. Trump is a master manipulator and I think his base will support him even if/when treason is proven.
