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

      15 months into Mueller, I'm utterly certain Mike Schmidt doesn't understand the breadth and depth of the conspiracy investigation, the threat it poses to his credibility as a journo writing only about obstruction over and over.https://twitter.com/nytmike/status/1028638521488232449 …

      15 months into Mueller, I’m still not convinced Trump understands the depth and breadth of obstruction investigation, the threat it poses and the issues his own public statements (and tweet) have created for him. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1028618150944944129 …

      In the spirit of finding out the truth, I wish investigators and journalists covering this would be more transparent with each other. Everyone holds their cards too closely to their chests, there needs to be more about putting the pieces together in a collective way. Share scoop.

      Interesting point. I’ve heard People coming into journalism now from other fields say this. Treating reporting as a collaborative investigation might get us further. One reason @emptywheel timelines are so helpful.

      Replying to @ksquire @debraclemstudio

      To be fair to Schmidt, they have released stuff, including the list of questions Sekulow drew up that make it clear 1/3 of the investigation as early as March was conspiracy, not obstruction.

      So 2/3 of Mueller's questions are about obstruction and not "collusion", which would justify Schmidt's focus on the former... I read your article on this at the time and know that you disagree, but I've never quite understood why. I assume it is due to info you can't share (yet)

      2/3 of Mueller's questions (checks calendar) 5 months ago were on obstruction. That is, just weeks after Rick Gates flipped, among other developments.

      Again, that list is from early March, just weeks after Rick Gates flipped. Here's what I mean by the obstruction questions that are really "collusion:" https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/06/03/the-giant-holes-in-trumps-mike-flynn-story-point-to-collusion-not-obstruction/ …
