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

      Ummm. Except for the several earlier meetings where 1) his CoS asked if there was a FISA on Flynn and 2) asked Comey to let Flynn thing go. Then there's his "tapp" panic. I mean, except for him already being in an panic about it, sure, way different.https://twitter.com/nytmike/status/999305897234051072 …

      Some context on how Trump’s view of investigation has changed: In March 2017, when Russia investigation was less of political issue and Mueller hadn’t been appointed, Trump was more comfortable with FBI looking at associates’ ties to Russia, according to Comey memo at the time. pic.twitter.com/y4151xppXf

      Or let me restate. It is BATSHIT crazy to claim Trump wasn't immediately worried about the investigation. Batshit insane. What was different pre-Comey firing is Trump thought it could handle it like he has always handled such things.

      if you don't understand THAT teeny little basic fact of this investigation, then you might run around for years claiming 1) the Flynn firing was part of obstruction and 2) the President was only at risk for obstruction charges.

          Will you point me in the direction of your writings about Flynn and the purpose for his firing?

          Addressed here, but it was only in writing this piece that I realized how thin the reporting on the real reasons behind Flynn's firing. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/05/04/the-quest-trump-learns-of-the-investigation-part-four/ …

          Thank you. The Flynn stuff intrigues me the most but he has become somewhat forgotten. I’m fascinated where things are going with him.

          We really could use Mueller to drop an indictment on someone or secure a conviction this week.

          I dunno, it might actually be more useful to let the principles stew for a few days about Friedman's flip, before hitting them with something new.
