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

    Funny how the outlets that are taking more time reporting this are coming up with a different take on it.https://twitter.com/jdawsey1/status/1043217949379706882 …

    Andrew McCabe was suggesting that DOJ investigate the president, per @mattzap & @DevlinBarrett reporting. “What do you want to do, Andy, wire the president?” Rosenstein responded. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/mccabe-memos-say-rosenstein-considered-secretly-recording-trump/2018/09/21/f4aa9a62-bdca-11e8-8792-78719177250f_story.html?utm_term=.8f47536d48f4 …

        Did you know if you listen to an audio clip of the name Maggie Haberman backwards, you hear Judith Miller? That’s what I heard third hand.

        Just another Shit show courtesy of the NYT. We should be used to it by now.

        So, to recap: Rosenstein wrote a memo recommending firing Comey which Trump used as a pretext to fire Comey. McCabe wrote a memo about Rosenstein's remark which Trump will use as a pretext to fire Rosenstein. If this were a TV show, I'd stop watching because it's too contrived.

        you know when trump fired comey I had to tell my uncle that in normal circumstances firing comey is likely justified, but context matters. Why are major journalists at NYT oblivious to context? Why dont they see it as their job to give as much context as possible?

        I wonder... could it be that these are the dox T wanted to declassify BUT because he was persuaded (who knows how) not to do it, they are actually leaking the bits they thought they could spin and misrepresent to look bad for RR... and is failing (exposed as sarcasm)

        Barrett has a certain antipathy to McCabe, demonstrated in his WSJ story on the McCabes ~ 24 Oct 2016. 🤔
