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"
