      In light of today's latest Haberman/Schmidt story, which merits large grains of salt, a look back at Jan. 208: What’s Up With McGahn Revisionism?http://www.lawfareblog.com/whats-mcgahn-revisionism …

      Did we learn anything from today’s piece that we didn’t know back then?

      We did! 1) McGahn has been interviewed a third time 2) We learn this during a period when Mueller has been relentlessly pursuing Stone's ratfuckery 3) Oh, btw, McGahn has a 7 year history of covering for Stone ratfuckery https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/08/18/should-trump-run-don-mcgahn-has-been-covering-for-roger-stones-rat-fucking-for-seven-years/ …

      Mind you, virtually none of that is on NYT (they admit they don't know if he's been asked about conspiracy case in chief). Because NYT prefers to talk about how Stone is like a pirate.

      What significance in McGahn’s third interview? Why do you suggest it’s about Stone? What’s the McGahn/Stone connection beyond McGahn FEC rulings in 2012 campaign? Did you unearth more that I missed?

      Yes. You did. McGahn was also involved in covering both incarnations of Stone's 2016 rat-fuckery. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/08/18/why-would-don-mcgahn-and-his-lawyer-cooperate-in-a-piece-claiming-he-cooperated-with-mueller-on-obstruction/ … If one consults what Mueller has been doing for 6 months rather than reading 20th NYT story on obstruction, focus on Stone is clear https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/08/16/andrew-millers-five-month-stall-leads-to-a-six-month-investigation-of-roger-stone/ …

          I agree that Mueller is heavily focused on Stone and I’m willing to believe that McGahn was involved with Stone in 2016 but I don’t see evidence for the latter in the stories you linked in this graf. Maybe I’ve missed stuff.pic.twitter.com/cbun7E5cPu

          great posts by @emptywheel -- as far as the FEC is concerned, McGahn was a reliable GOP vote. is there a basis upon which one can infer it was more than that?

          Replying to @BenAdamsO_O @EricColumbus and

          That is a massive understatement of the change McGahn represented on the FEC. McGahn at the vanguard of purposefully acting to stymie every action—a sharp normative + substantive decline. The only positive thing to come of his “service” there was Von Spakovsky got sent packing.
