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

      If as this story suggests Trump was trying to set up back channel communications with the Kremlin just before the inauguration isn’t that evidence against collusion during the election?https://twitter.com/benjaminwittes/status/971546131724361729 …

      Because Prince appears to have lied about it under penalty of law and there are at least four strange contacts along these lines during this time, one of which has already resulted in a please and the other two were also omitted under penalty of perjury.

      Yes, this is definitely shady and appears to suggest Prince broke the law—which seem like separate questions

      The idea that to fulfill quid pro quos arranged on an ad hoc basis during the campaign would be easier with secured back channel, especially in light of the apparatus that surrounds a president and isn't read in on the conspiracy.... Is pretty intuitive.

      Right: The way to think of this crime is emails and other gifts during election, and immediate move to deliver policy demands after the election. This is the payoff part.
