SethAbramson twitterde op donderdag 19-04-2018 om 22:35:36 This is excellent news. It gives Rosenstein some job security (possibly short-lived) even as it means *absolutely nothing* for the certainty that Donald Trump will eventually face impeachable offenses. https://t.co/Owxmfzzi9t reageer retweet

SethAbramson twitterde op donderdag 19-04-2018 om 22:37:27 2/ Essentially, this news story—and all its many predecessors in the same vein—is based on a popular misconception of what the word "target" means and when it is used. But hey, if it convinces Trump and gets him off the FBI's back, his imbecilic credulousness is a national asset. reageer retweet

SethAbramson twitterde op donderdag 19-04-2018 om 22:39:26 3/ Meanwhile, Trump telling his top advisers that it's simply "not the right time" to fire Mueller and/or Rosenstein actually *confirms* that this *is* in the cards—and that they'll be fired as soon as Trump becomes a target. Which—hey!—maybe the FBI and DOJ *know*? LOL at Trump. reageer retweet

Former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, a combative former prosecutor and longtime ally of President Trump, told The Washington Post on Thursday that he has joined the president’s legal team dealing with the ongoing special counsel probe.

“I’m doing it because I hope we can negotiate an end to this for the good of the country and because I have high regard for the president and for Bob Mueller,” Giuliani said in an interview.

Giuliani, who joins a legal team that has struggled to recruit new members to its ranks, said he has been speaking with Trump for weeks about joining the group of legal advisers. He said he would work alongside Trump’s current attorneys, Jay Sekulow and Ty Cobb, who focus on the federal investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. He also said he will soon take a leave from his law firm, Greenberg Traurig.

Giuliani said he formalized his decision in recent days, including over dinner last week at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

SethAbramson twitterde op donderdag 19-04-2018 om 23:19:26 I'm so excited by this. Giuliani was a major election crook in October 2016, receiving and disseminating many illegal NYPD and FBI leaks (most false) to try to help Trump win. So yes, let's get him front and center so we can grill him daily on what he did. https://t.co/bmPYaqo5nP reageer retweet

SethAbramson twitterde op donderdag 19-04-2018 om 23:23:08 So Trump has just hired, as his new attorney, an almost certain witness in the Mueller probe. That means he will be paying money to, and sharing his own confidential testimony with, a fellow Mueller witness. This is both Obstruction and Witness Tampering. But hey, who's counting? https://t.co/vPvvEvWX47 reageer retweet

SethAbramson twitterde op donderdag 19-04-2018 om 23:25:14 2/ Understand what this allows Trump to do (or what he *thinks* it does): allows him to discuss the Russia case and the pre-election Clinton email hoaxes with Giuliani, synch up his testimony, then ensure Giuliani can't discuss those conversations with Mueller.He's transparent. reageer retweet

Ik denk niet dat Ryan heel veel impact heeft op fundraising voor lokale races. Je ziet nu in de special elections wel vaak dat de RNC nog bijspringt, maar dat is niet echt een optie bij de midterms.

A long-awaited U.S. Justice Department internal watchdog report on former FBI chief James Comey's public disclosures on Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while secretary of state and whether FBI employees leaked information to try to hurt her 2016 presidential bid is expected to be issued next month.

The report from Michael Horowitz, the department's inspector general, arises from an investigation he launched about a week before Republican President Donald Trump, who defeated Democrat Clinton in the election, took office in January 2017.

In a letter last week to Republican Representative Trey Gowdy, chairman of the House of Representatives Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Horowitz said his office was "working diligently" to complete the report and expected to release it in May.

Horowitz's letter did not offer details of what will be in the report. In a Jan. 12, 2017 letter to five congressional committees, he enumerated 2016 election-related issues his office would look into.

Clinton has called the FBI investigation into her emails and Comey's public disclosures about it significant factors in her loss to Trump, who fired Comey as FBI director in May 2017.

The investigation will examine Comey's statements in August 2016 that no charges would be brought against Clinton and in October about the re-opening of the FBI investigation into her use of a private email server rather than a government server, potentially jeopardizing classified information.

The report also is expected to address whether active and retired FBI agents in New York leaked information about investigations of the Clinton Foundation charitable organization and the discovery of a trove of Clinton-related emails.

Law enforcement officials previously told Reuters the information was leaked to former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, an adviser to the Trump campaign who subsequently discussed the contents on Fox News.

Horowitz's office also has sought to determine whether such leaks influenced Comey's decision 11 days before the election to announce the reopening of the Clinton email investigation. Law enforcement sources with knowledge of the matter, speaking on condition of anonymity, said at the time a fear of leaks from within his own agency helped prompt Comey to make that public disclosure.

Comey did not respond to a request for comment.

Trump and Comey have exchanged harsh criticism in the past week. Trump called Comey a "slime ball." Comey called Trump an unethical liar who is morally unfit to be president.

Als Giuliani deel uit maakte van Trumps campagne... maakt dat hem geen getuige voor Mueller? Kan Trump hem dan wel inhuren als advocaat in deze zaak?
