When @benjaminwittes and I agree...
I'll add two bits to his reasons for caution.
1) Sources SOUND like they may be the ones who gave Mueller evidence. In which case it doesn't even sound like they brought confirmation.https://twitter.com/benjaminwittes/status/985150023703912448 …

As you know investigations starting in one district magically end up in another Circuit where there is some nexus and where the law on an important point is more favorable to the government's case.
-
Are the search/taint precedents better in SDNY/2nd?
-
The two best circuits in the country for the government are the 4th and 2nd. The best districts the SDNY and EDVA
-
So yes, a reading of plain view in SDNY would be more permissive than in DC?
-
On issue of plain view i suspect circuits fairly uniform: 1) was the presence lawful; 2) was the item recovered during security scan; 3) was the item recovered located within an area where an item sought could be found? Search for shotgun does not permit search of jewelry box.

Flank attack. Like on-going NYS AG investigation, SDNY indictment ensures even with new rosenstein or him in Florida it goes on. Nothing stops him from using anything developed in the SDNY related to his mandate especially if this is ultimately about preesure to flip cohen .
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

From an outsiders perspective, the move would appear to fold 1- current SDNY case not directly Russia/collusion on the face of it 2- probably related in the end (through Cohen) and it’s part of the fail safe plan when Trump tries to shut down Mueller.

Good read.

Who knows. But it’s fascinating. Trump has far exceeded my expectations for pure fuckery. Not sure how I’ll explain this to my kids when they make it to college in 15 years.

As a New Yorker who's been in the criminal justice trenches for over 30 years nothing is either a surprise or outside the norm when it comes to him and criminal case discovery.

That’s the crazy part about it. Every New Yorker I know is like “America, welcome to our world...”...

Its not by accident he barely got 20 % of the NYC vote.
