      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

      NYT again suggests all this went down on May 10, again suggsting the wire the President/25A discussion happened immediately after Comey firing.pic.twitter.com/Elyoyi3Yau

      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?

          Replying to @emptywheel

          Another head scratcher in all this is how it’s cued up as Rosenstein’s reaction to Comey firing. If so, why would he want Kelly in on a 25thAm plot? Kelly didn’t turn up till July So when did these meetings take place?

          If the meetings were on 5/16, then that's literally the day after WaPo broke the story about Trump & Lavrov in the Oval Office.

          Interesting that in the past couple of days, Team Trump has begun alleging that NBC "edited" the Lester Holt interview on May 11.

          And, like, it's made for TV, so, yeah it's edited. But it's weird that it took them almost a year and a half to notice.

          But what your illustrating here was the way he allowed himself to be suckered. Almost everybody would be in over their heads in the situation Rosenstein found himself. It was so far from normal "unprecedented" has become cliche...

          ... but so long as everyone is bringing up "context", they are leaving out the situation the DOJ had found themselves in that moment. Where they were already hating themselves for (incidentally) crossing the political line they avoid. It was an important moment for them...

          Rosenstein's actions upon coming into office (as reported) appear to have ignored that context. The context important to them individually. You are judging based on your own (with the benefit of retrospect) context...

          ... what ultimately matters here (unfair and enraging as it is), is this mistake gave Trump a massive gift. Just as the text messages from Page and Stzork did (again massively unfair and mischaracterized)...

          America is embarking on a very dark era in our history. Denial about that fact runs rampant, but people are about to get sobered real quick. We can cry about what is or isn't fair. We probably should seeing as how unfair everything is. History matches on though.

          Rosenstein is going to get fired. The Mueller report will be put into jeopardy because of that. But did we not already always know this was going to happen? The question is, what are we going to do?
