For weeks, the frothy right has been trying to unredact the name of the person that Strzok and Page wanted to open an investigation into after Comey got fired. That's part of what Trump wants declassified.

So it's not out yet but all of a sudden we get third-hand reports about what happened at a meeting the day of that text, a meeting that Lisa Page attended. And one of two key issues is the connotation of a statement about wiring the President.

Two other points: if this IS an attempt to spin the meeting where McCabe and Rosenstein debated opening an investigation into Trump, it explains why two issues are so important: 1) Whether 25th A mentioned (meaning investigation would have been attempt to remove POTUS).

2) Whether the investigation was *just* obstruction or whether it included "collusion" (AKA a conspiracy with Russia) at the time.

3 days ago, 9/18, it came out that McCabe had a book deal, then this story appears I think rather than a controlled narrative by anyone this is someone read a draft of McCabe's book, told someone else and the NYTimes ran with that. Also explains how fast the others were with...

the claims about it being sarcasm and more info about it

Best hypothesis I've seen.

My read is slightly different. Reads to me like McCabe is pissed Rosenstein helped fire Comey and didn't fight for him, so he dialed up NYT's FBI reporter. But you of course are more knowledgeable on this stuff than I.
-
Unlikely. McCabe wouldn't jeopardize the Mueller Investigation just to settle a petty personal score.

Doesnt Maggie realize the damage she is doing, and has done, to facilitate this administration???
-
She's done over 20 personal interviews with trump over the past 7 years. She's made a career of carrying his water.
-
Maggie is part of Trumpworld. Her family has been part of Trumpworld for decades. People are just either ignorant of the fact or refuse to understand that Maggie is a cheerleader doing her best for him like Judith Miller did for Bush, except MH has a prior familial relationship.

NYT's coverage of the Mueller probe has predominantly consisted of peddling Trump lawyers & aids talking points as "sources familiar with". And NYT's star WH reporter herself fed Trump the Mueller redline, on the freaking record.

Failing to investigate Trump would seem more erratic.
