As crazy as it was that Sidney Powell tried to claim Exec Privilege for her conversation(s) with Trump about the Flynn case, still crazier was her admission she has spoken to Jenna Ellis -- WHO IS A CAMPAIGN LAWYER -- seemingly multiple times about it.
"I had to apply for a security clearance for a number of my jobs... We would not get jobs if we had debt. I could tell you, there's no way anybody would sign off... if I was taking tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments" - Chuck Rosenberg w/ @NicolleDWallacepic.twitter.com/nbiD7k7ADI
oh good I was wondering whether I should put this here:
WATCH: Sen. @TedCruz GRILLS James Comey.@SenTedCruz to @Comey: "There are only two possibilities: that you were deliberately corrupt or woefully incompetent -- and I DON'T think you were incompetent." pic.twitter.com/tXsv6d6W6T
Former FBI Director James Comey said today that the DOJ's attempt to drop the prosecution of Michael Flynn is “deeply concerning,” suggesting that Flynn is receiving special treatment and key pieces of evidence have been misrepresentedhttps://t.co/8anRo1ybku
I have never seen this woman tweet on Politics, usually it's historical crime stories, folklore, cultural history, like that:
Grifters arrive at the capital city of an Emperor who spends lavishly at the expense of state matters. Posing as 'advisers', they offer to supply him with magnificent clothes that are invisible to those who are stupid or incompetent. 1/5 #HansChristianAndersenKnewpic.twitter.com/pISrn2B5ob
She marked it 1 of 5 but I don't see anything but this one so far. Edit to add:I see that she's adding the rest of the story right now. (& Hans' shoemaking elves showed up to finish it overnight)

The Emperor hires them; they set up looms & go to work. A succession of officials, & then the Emperor himself, visit them to check their progress. Each sees that the looms are empty but pretends otherwise to avoid being thought a fool. 2/5 #HansChristianAndersenKnewpic.twitter.com/tNpQE8xyce
The townsfolk uncomfortably go along with the pretense, not wanting to appear inept or stupid, until a child blurts out that the Emperor is wearing nothing at all. 4/5 #HansChristianAndersenKnewpic.twitter.com/xQgo1ihguT
more fairy tales, but nightmarish ones of wicked witches after little bitty children:
Rod Rosenstein, then the deputy attorney general, went even further, telling prosecutors that it did not matter how young the children were.
He said that government lawyers should not have refused to prosecute two cases simply because the children were barely more than infants. https://t.co/2psPtCFPRz
This is remarkable — a federal judge has ordered DOJ to confer with the WH about its official position on declassification of Russia docs in response to Trump’s tweets.
BuzzFeed is seeking access to the *entire* Mueller report based on Trump’s declassification order via tweet. pic.twitter.com/1MoLMZucQ2
Barrett hid 1 of few cases she worked on was required, per the questionnaire, to list the “10 most significant litigated matters which you personally handled, whether or not you were the attorney of record” and to “describe in detail the nature of your participation.” Barrett lists just three cases.
NEW: The president's tax records show unusual payments totaling millions of dollars to Trump by a Vegas hotel he co-owned during the 2016 campaign w/@susannecraig@russbuettner
Around the same time Trump dictated a message for Corey Lewandowski to give to Jeff Sessions, ordering he limit any investigation into Russia's 2016 operation, Jeannie Rhee and Andrew Weissmann got briefings showing that DOJ wasn't investigating how Russia weaponized their hack.
Why? Without all these contacts, there wouldn't have been a fruitful FBI investigation into Trump-Russia contacts. (No "there" there.) No Russian contacts means no Sessions recusal, and no special counsel. No Mueller report, and no need for a Durham counter-investigation, either.
Facebook fluke kept it open thanks to a couple hard-working and curious FBI agents
To opening it in the first place, really. FB did a briefing and Rhee used that briefing to pitch Mueller in incorporating Active Measures into the investigation.
Even Mueller pushes back on this story - but then again he didn't get the goods, did he. Maybe Rosenstein picked him for the kind of player he'd be - good credentials, but too much a play-by-all-the-rules company man, not a bulldog, despite all the gushing reviews.
And Trump likes overtly breaking every single rule he can. By breakfast. Boy Scouts meet Lucky Luciano.
Trump likes overtly breaking every single rule he can. He does, doesn't he? Even Mary Trump has described him that way as a young man. He's also proud of it, it's the part of his personality he likes to promote.

It doesn't take a lot of hair styling to read a script playing the character of a successful businessman:
Of course his tax attorneys would argue that the usually-somewhat-wack blond ducktail is his brand

Sessions killed Russia probe after all
"Russians? What Russians?", lied Trump
