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

      Lookee here! Stephen Miller helped Trump draft a letter Don McGahn found too damning to send. It'd be a PITY if he got swept up in this!pic.twitter.com/DTCI7afhNY

      What's interesting is DOJ--not WH--turned letter over. Why did it take 3 months? Privilege review?pic.twitter.com/BdRym0xFhf

          Questions not asked (or answered): Why did the DOJ even have a copy of this draft WH letter? Who at the DOJ had a copy of this draft WH ltr?

          Right: one of the reasons I noted that. One possibility is Rosenstein got a copy, and the delay has been reviewing it for privilege.

          Still makes me wonder how draft of WH letter ended up at DOJ. Even if DAG Rosenstein got after Comey firing, Q is why? If before, why too!

          Or whether Sessions got it because he was part of the brainstorming on how to get rid of him. That would be cause for popping corn.

          Was thinking same thing on Sessions. Far more in "fire Comey" loop than DAG Rosenstein. Know Rosenstein in loop too, but not like Sessions.

          From WSJ, both RR and Sessions would have gotten it: "gave it to top [DOJ] officials in a meeting at [WH] on Monday, May 8"

          I continue to believe that there are systemic issues in the document production from Trump and Manafort.

          A big deal is Rosenstein wrote letter for Trump to fire Comey & was requesting Mueller because of firing of Comey, he should recuse himself

          Cobb doesn't care. He's getting a paycheck.
