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

    Funny thing about the 6-year old soccer mob running from wiretaps to pen registers is we already knew, from court filings, SDNY has been sucking up Cohen's email. That's ... more invasive than pen registers.

        And they have his phones, which most likely have logs of all calls placed on the phone.

        And content! Which they'll be using the pen register to prioritize reading!

        The more I think about this, the less sense it makes. I believe the reporting was correct, but DOJ is trying to recover the narrative and burned wiretap. In any case, it makes me question the ethics of the reporters who broke the story in the first place.

        I've been wondering about this. So, who "corrected" the story today? I mean who told NBC they were wrong? DOJ?

        That’s the thing. It’s the ambiguity of the correction that feels less like misreporting and more like DOJ reprimanded them for burning the operation. But you may see it differently, here’s the link:https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/feds-tapped-trump-lawyer-michael-cohen-s-phones-n871011 …

        For many people it is, but not everybody. If he uses email for resetting passwords and getting discounts at the grocery store, he's probably fine.

        People say stuff on the phone they wouldn't in an email. Then again these guys seem like idiots.
