Copy edit, aisle 5.
You can either āhoneā something (hone=sharpen), or you can āhome in onā something. One or the other, but not a mixture of the two.
ETA: And now fixed, at least on the front page. Someone at TPM actually correcting a grammatical error or typo? Itās a miracle! PTL!!!
According to a person familiar with the probe who spoke to Bloomberg,
Anonymous source. Rudy, is that you?
More news to drive Donald off the deep end.
Tweasonous Twitler will Twat his rage-ridden disapproval. Oh, such fun!
So:
Mueller knows he already has Obstruction dead to rights.
Brought on board new prosecutors to specialize in followup on Russian interference, post-investigation.
Linking the two via Obstruction.
The end is coming, @realdonaldtrump
I hope he is thoroughly planning for his upcoming firing.
Trump will not care about obstruction, he will(incorrectly) say a president canāt obstruct.
But canāt as easily explain away collusion that he has been denying.
Exactly right, since the Mueller team is locked up tighter than a drum.
It begs the question of whether they took a different tact.
Like Manafortās case. Paper trail/evidence trail much easier to prosecute than intent, which is dicier to document.
For all intensive purposes, that doesnāt quite jive with what Iām seeing.
Somebody needs to call John Williams and have him compose a musical signature for Mueller.
He did wonders for a fake shark as it circled in the water.
I appreciate the articleās recap of key figures and Russia connections but frankly the basic theme of this article is a load of crap.
Mueller hasnāt been working on this in a linear fashion. He has had multiple work streams going at the same time. His investigation is more like Game of Thrones, different story lines happening in parallel with some threads of connection among them all. Thatās plainly obvious from looking at who has been questioned and when. If anything, the last month and a half indicate more activity on so-called ācollusionā than obstruction.
Fingers crossedā¦
āIf you get me one more glass of wine, Iāll tell you stuff only Bob Mueller and I know,ā Warner was overheard joking to attendees at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committeeās annual Majority Trust retreat on Friday night at Warnerās house in Marthaās Vineyard.
Warner then continued: āIf you think youāve seen wild stuff so far, buckle up. Itās going to be a wild couple of months.ā
Here here! I like when people rift on these kinds of things irregardless of how little it really matters. Still we shouldnāt make fun of people to much since in the end you reap what you sew.
I agree. And it is easu for the spell check to fick you up.
100% agree. Mueller is now going to start focusing on ācollusionā for the next few weeks? As if only now heās finally getting to it? As if he has ever announced the direction his investigation is taking? Yeah right. And the article casually throws in that Mueller will produce a report on this topic in the fall. Itās possible but thatās the first Iāve heard about that.
So Muellerās report is going to drop like a hydrogen bomb right into the middle of the next election. Fun times!
Could be that collusion is the only piece thatās left incomplete at this point. But given the anonymous sourcing, itās entirely possible that the source is new to the game and isnāt aware that this line of inquiryās probably been active for months.
There are still several āobstruction of justiceā angles that have been in the news:
- This business with Adam Waldman, the lobbyist who happens to work for Deripaska and Assange is an obstruction angle because he tried to snare Mark Warner and interfere in his investigation.
- Devin Nunes and the role that his committee has had in harassing the FBI and leaking information to Trump.
- Pardon shopping by Trump and his lawyers and other associates.
- The Rudy Giuliani role in forcing leaks to re-open the HRC email investigation and the potential cover up of those activities.
- Trumpās repeated tweets on Comey, McCabe, Sessions and others where he all but admits to obstruction.
And thereās always what ever happens next week.
