@emptywheel

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

  Well if you can retroactively classify docs and call Comey a criminal, it seems only fair that you can retroactively sanction a billionaire and do the same to Cohen.

  Were these the sanctions that were endlessly delayed for no apparent reason?

  I'm interested in timeline, too. Did Trump delay sanctions until Vekselberg had completed payments to Cohen?

  Wasn't Cohen working for the RNC while doing this?

  Ah, that may make sense. I was wondering why that detail was overlooked.

  I'm still stunned about the payoffs from Novartis and AT&T. This just took an expected and very ugly turn.
