      Why Did Trump Tweet an "In the Ball Park" Accurate Number for Hillary's Total Staffers on June 9, 2016? https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/01/25/why-did-trump-tweet-an-in-the-ball-park-accurate-number-for-hillarys-total-staffers-on-june-9-2016/ …

      It's now pretty clear that after Veselnitskaya and Akhmetshin left June 9 meeting, at least Rob Goldstone stayed and ... did other business. He said it was eerie when stolen emails started coming out.

      That makes the content of Trump's tweet, just 40 minutes after that meeting started, all the more interesting.https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/741007091947556864 …

      How long did it take your staff of 823 people to think that up--and where are your 33,000 emails that you deleted? https://twitter.com/hillaryclinton/status/740973710593654784 …

      Where'd he get that 823 number from? I've been told it's at least in the ball park for the real number of Hillary staffers at the time. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/01/25/why-did-trump-tweet-an-in-the-ball-park-accurate-number-for-hillarys-total-staffers-on-june-9-2016/ …

      Also, given that that tweet was sent on an iPhone (before Trump was using one) who sent it? Scavino, who'd be involved in outreach via Goldstone to Vkontakte? Parscale, who'd work w/Cambridge Analytica? Or maybe even Don Jr himself?

          Trump also consistently writes "e-mail," not "email," though the iPhone alone is enough to rule him out. (I also am not sure he knows how to quote retweet?)

          I think it’s great that Parscale is off doing speeches on his data genius when he likely just uploaded a stolen list of HRC voters and targeted them directly. Any asshole could do that.

          Why might the Reddit comment comparing staffing levels have been removed by the moderator?

          Fascinating. I sometimes wonder if Mueller, despite having a sizable team full of smart lawyers and agents, pieces this kind of stuff together since they have so much other stuff to investigate.
