    LOLOLOL. You haven't even read the search warrant, so you don't know how embarrassingly stupid you sound saying this. I'm done. You're beclowning yourself, commenting on public records you haven't even looked at while pretending to give a shit about actual journalism. https://twitter.com/aaronjmate/status/1032652607460913152 …

        That the probable cause associated with the June 9 meeting might be obstruction.

        Replying to @tweetsintheME @emptywheel

        I think he’s saying that a citation to a conspiracy statute in the warrant could be re conspiracy to obstruct justice. I haven’t read the warrant, but if it omits citing to the actual obstruction of justice statutes then Aaron’s argument is tough to sustain. Going w/ Marcy here.

        Correct. It does, however, cite to the statute that the June 9 is under investigation for 371 conspiracy, 52 USC 30121.

        Then his arg that it “could just be obstruction of justice, not conspiracy” is facially bonkers. Even if he’s using “conspiracy” as shorthand for conspiracy to defraud US re Russia, he’s confused, b/c conspiracy to obstruct justice would necessarily implicate matters re Russia.

        Because if Russia had anything to do with Trump winning it screws with the leftist narrative that Trump won because Hillary sucked and deserved to lose and we can only win by moving to the left. I’m not sayin I agree with it, but psychologically that’s where he is coming from.

        Exactly, but you'd think after 1.5 years of the investigation, they'd have given up on this by now. They had egg on their faces after the Special Counsel was appointed, but instead of accepting reality, they've doubled down. They don't get tired of looking foolish, evidently.

        They’re deeply invested in this narrative now with an entire belief structure and a community of fellow travelers to support it. You can stay in that bubble for a long time — as long as you want really. For this guy, it’s become an integral part of his brand.
