18 days after I lay out how ConFraudUs is central theory of Mueller case(s),

and a week after I expand it in NYT

@benjaminwittes discovers it.https://www.lawfareblog.com/about-russia-indictment-robert-muellers-legal-theory-and-where-it-takes-him-next …
Maybe Ben should have noted that this was covered (including by Bob Bauer) before the news cycle had "moved on"?
Anyway, their piece doesn't entirely rehash wha was written weeks ago--they do lay out the case law. So read how ConFraudUs has been used in the past!https://www.lawfareblog.com/about-russia-indictment-robert-muellers-legal-theory-and-where-it-takes-him-next …
I also heard Adam Schiff mention Conspiracy to Defraud US on Maddow the other night and was like, damn, I'm ahead of the game bc I read your blog!
Imagine what I could do if I had a room full of law students doing my case law research?
that might be dangerous, you might tip off Trump's lawyers to a ton of stuff they didn't think of yet!!! =P
I've already had people suggest I should rein in my analysis bc adversaries of all types are reading too closely. A pity my allies don't read me then.
In the worst case scenario, "adversaries" may read your analyses to get them from 2 steps ahead to 15 steps ahead--meanwhile, Mueller is already 45 steps ahead. For all we know, there may be a half dozen unknown cooperators wearing wires, documenting new crimes since the election
Not just on Mueller stuff, though. On the other stuff it's a legit concern.
what else is there besides Mueller stuff???
Bob Bauer has been a boss on this
