Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    Aside from everything @Popehat said about the use of cooperating witnesses, one thing that continues to amaze me abt Trump's focus on "informants" is thus far no one has questioned what Felix Sater was doing setting up deals.https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/1032586686394494976 …

        You mean "extremely experienced flipper and longtime FBI informant Felix Sater," right?

        Every time I think we’ve got a handle on all the people involved, I forget someone like Felix Sater.

        Like Mandy from season one of West Wing, Felix is no longer mentioned. As if he never existed.

        Trump described Cohen a a “part time” lawyer for him who “did not do big deals, did small deals”. SO... I can't wait for the the BIG DEALS to fully come to light. @realDonaldTrump

        A Nightmare of Mezcal Retweeted Donald J. Trump

        Trump had a tweet at some point in there that seemed likely about Felix:https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/999984492197613568 …

        The Democrats are now alluding to the the concept that having an Informant placed in an opposing party’s campaign is different than having a Spy, as illegal as that may be. But what about an “Informant” who is paid a fortune and who “sets up” way earlier than the Russian Hoax?

        I'm also struck by the fact that when he said he knows many people that do this, it speaks to the kinds of people he's most familiar with :)
