This piece is (searching for the word) funny. It confuses WHCO with personal lawyer. It doesn't mention that one thing McGahn produced (Flynn report) was badly misleading. It uses the word "cooperate" in a misleading way. It continues to treat obstruction as only investigation.https://twitter.com/JasonLeopold/status/1030879950872576001 …

For those asking what I mean abt Flynn report, this thread describes how it sounds like McGahn's report was designed to cover-up aspects of Flynn's firing (the firing was not just obstruction, btw). https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/06/03/the-giant-holes-in-trumps-mike-flynn-story-point-to-collusion-not-obstruction/ …

Given that we knew of 24 hours across two days already, if this story wanted to, you know, break news, they could tell us when the follow-up appearance was.pic.twitter.com/TtfRqXXZk4

Actually, I take it back. That article is not ENTIRELY a misleading PR piece. This is important reporting.

@emptywheel any sense as to why obstruction is commonly the sole object of focus for reporters?https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/1030883272576970752 …

Because the people investigating conspiracy aren't talking to the press.

Ive noticed Rudy talking points creeping into MSM news reports as facts. Sept 1 deadline was floating unchallenged for a week or two. The make or break aspect of Manafort Episode 1. Rudy says it & soon

The beauty of Trump's tweets is how transparent his motives & fears come across. He rarely mentions obstruction. Most tweets have been: No collusion! Witch hunt! Infrequently he mentions both together. But, not aware of "obstruction" only tweets. That belies his worry: Collusion.

Why must they always speak in hyperbole: “No President has ever...” Makes them sound like liars.
