    This NYT story is acquiring the temporal collapse of a Sara Carter story. The original story suggested the incidents happened around May 10, two weeks after Rosenstein was sworn in. That would suggest the wiring the President/25A discussion happened RIGHT AFTER Comey firing.pic.twitter.com/hxhwixdbNd

        Then, in an update designed to rebut the (more responsible) reporting of other outlets, NYT reveals the timeline suggested elsewhere in the article is false. It wasn't May 10. It was May 16. It's still not adequate rebuttal bc they're working only secondhand, not fr docs.pic.twitter.com/4UpHmpcuMt

        But here's how NYT has undermined their entire story. It's NOT in response to Comey firing alone these things came up. It's in response to Comey firing, admitting it was bc of RU investigation, and leaking Israeli Intel to Russia. That changes the meaning. A lot.

        That's another thing that misleading quotes abt Page's take on whether there was evidence of "collusion" on May 17 (which NYT Mike gets wrong 100% of time in any case). Does leaking intel to Russia count after firing the FBI BECAUSE of RU investigation? Well, it's sure a clue.

        Anyway, highlighting NYT's original misrepresentation of timing also makes clear that this leak is exclusively about decision to hire Mueller, and their "scoop" is just inadequately understood (by them and their sources) attempt to say Rosenstein was nuts when hiring Mueller.

        Maybe before publishing stories that may lead to a Constitutional crisis actually understand the timeline?

        Ezra Cohen-Watnick, a 31-year-old former intelligence officer, was brought on to Trump’s national Security Council by Michael Flynn and was pushed out of the White House by H.R. McMaster, is rejoining the Trump administration as Jeff Sessions’s national security adviser.

        Cohen-Watnick's wife worked for a DC firm that represented Russia. He was involved in the Nunes meltdown at the White House last year. He was rumored to be hired by Sessions but detoured to work for Oracle as that corp donated big money to Nunes' campaign. Not. Normal.

        I have a feeling that with all these snippets, leaks and belated recollections dripping now years after actual events, the truth is getting buried deeper and deeper. Plus, you have two adversaries of different class - journos vs. skilled players in the truth game.

        👍 I have a feeling that with each passing day, we're getting farther and farther away from it. And I had big hopes for (don't laugh, please) world peace, based on resolving what happened in the USofA, and what's going on in the world 😎

        @maggieNYT read this thread and maybe start to comprehend what the NYT has done. Echoes of Judith Miller but Miller knew what she was doing.

        Wow, low blow. Sure, NYT may have blown it but to compare it to @SaraCarterDC ? That's too much LOL. Now, an amoeba or protein strain? That's more her equivalent...
