      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?

          So, just to clarify, I read the story as an attempt to say the entire Mueller investigation is illegal bc Rosenstein launched it when he was not of sound mind. Mike et al were careful to weave in a bunch of other BS, but that was the purpose of the story, right?

          No. THat's my point. The discrepancy within the same story abt whether it's May 10 or 16. Lots happened between those two days.

          Makes me think of the anonymous NYT op-ed and the rant about how the 25th amendment. Planted.

          There is always a delicate balance between the need to know and journalistic responsibility, but of utmost importance is the need to get the story right. It seems @nytimes failed at the latter. They got click bait, but failed to deliver an accurate story.
