      Just catching up on Lanny Davis interviews and wanted to observe that in at least two cases we know of—Steele and Papadopoulos—the Mueller probe wholly cut off contact with sources they were *already talking to* because those sources went to the press.

      On the other hand, Davis is not doing this without clearance from Guy Petrillo, who is extremely close to SDNY and knows Mueller very well. May or may not be a good strategy, but it is a strategy designed to improve his credibility.

      SDNY and Mueller may have entirely different approaches, though I did notice SDNY pointedly canceling an interview with Clifford earlier this year after Avenatti advertised it

      Replying to @nycsouthpaw

      Yep. And don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be doing this. But Petrillo is a pretty damn smart lawyer, I guess he thinks it is net positive. I dunno. As I said in the other tweet, there is a lot of value Cohen could provide if either jurisdiction wants him.

      A family member who is a corporate litigation partner at a big law firm had the below to say about the Cohen plea. He believes that the Lanny Davis show is a smokescreen to make it appear as though Cohen is not already cooperating with Muellerpic.twitter.com/7Np8sdv3RC

      I keep waiting for southpaw to follow up on what Mueller is really doing with plea agreements. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/08/18/the-ongoing-criminal-exposure-of-muellers-cooperating-witnesses/ … Bc I think he's getting conspirators to plead w/o offering much in return.

          Lanny Davis as the PR flack is dangling meat for the Russian troll army. They’ve revved up the conspiracy smear machine and I wouldn’t be surprised if this was planned to ferret out more connections to stateside actors.

          Don't they have enough documentary evidence from the Cohen raid, corroborated by Pecker and Weisselberg, that they didn't need Cohen himself to "flip"

          At least w Cohen plea, maybe there's elements of what @Popehat wrote in NYT yesterday? Ie, slow roll public disclosure, rattle cages, provoke stupid/incriminating moves, while avoiding provoking so extreme a reaction such as Trump firing Mueller? https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/22/opinion/michael-cohen-donald-trump-robert-mueller.html …pic.twitter.com/wTD1F37zLa

          because he can make it much worse and/or because he doesn't even need it to move forward and is just checking off boxes?
