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

    Yup. The people who were there say the people who are feeding these stories are misreading memos. So why give those reading third hand more weight?https://twitter.com/nycsouthpaw/status/1043212063915499520 …

    ABC seems to be dealing with the same or a similar set of people without firsthand knowledge — “sources familiar with memos.” https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/rosenstein-told-mccabe-recruit-trump-cabinet-invoke-25th/story?id=57991842 …

        for the NYT to publish this, it must've been cleared by the tippy top because at least 2 very important people's jobs are on the line, and a nation too. their sources must've been solid. Something else is going on

        We've been here before and the problem is that the walk-back after a Team Trump Strategic Leak (tm) is never enough to undo the initial damage done. It's why Team Trump still does it -- it works.

        I mean, Trump himself is probably "familiar with the memos"

        I've read LOTS of stuff on the internet and no NYT reporters have called to talk with me - I couldn't hurt their credibility anymore than they are doing with this story.
