      The misuse of the word "cooperation" from political journalists is really detrimental to understanding legal cases. Did Don McGahn limit his own legal exposure by responding to Mueller's requests? Yup. Is he John Dean? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      If you listen to the daily today @nytmike says McGahn did more than simply endure questioning but ofc he doesn’t say how and their stories don’t report how

      There is a LOT the Times reporters consistently get wrong. For another instance that there was a legitimate path for McGahn to assert privilege. That is simply false.

      Also that this will end in just a report.

      Is it incorrect that Mueller has said he will abide by DOJ regs and not indict the President?

      No one knows! That comes via Rudy G and reporters who are fairly credulous. But that doesn't mean a report is the end product. Rosenstein has said overandoverandoverandover that they speak via indictments. And that's what Mueller seems to be doing.

          You can lay out the president's crimes in an indictment w/o indicting him. It's like ... happened before, even.

          Replying to @emptywheel @BillBindc and

          Why "only" report? Seems "confidential" (and record keeping of decisions) is the point? "The Special Counsel, at the conclusion of his work, is to provide the Attorney General with a confidential report explaining the prosecutions or the Counsel’s decisions not to prosecute."pic.twitter.com/fVXLuH6JYa

          Unless Mueller recommends and Rosenstein refuses to indict POTUS, then any accusations against POTUS are at least as likely to be made public in an indictment.

          Thank you! What's the over/under that a Stone indictment shows actual collaboration with Russia?
