I know I may be asking quite a bit here but is it really reporting to just post the filing with no analysis or summary of what it contains? Or is the point to simply be first out with it? Will this âarticleâ be updated once an analysis is completed? How about some insight into the massive redactions?
Asking for a friend (who is questioning the Prime modelâŚ) 
ETA: Okay, I see the article is being fleshed out as Tierney and Josh read thru it. Apologies all 'round.
How soon before Jeffrey Weiland joins the panoply of âcrookedâ FBI agents attacked in the Trumpstersâ tweets? Do we make it past midnight?
The filing is 31 pages long. Iâm not expecting and wouldnât give much weight to insta-analysis, and am happy to skim it myself right now.
It might not be reporting as we traditionally think of it but itâs information a number of members here would pounce on and start reading for themselves. If they donât want to wait, why make them, I imagine is the reasoning. I see it as one of a variety of services and thoughtful opportunities I get.
My my, things heat up on page 12.
@ghost My thought exactly. Another bad cop.
pp 30-31:
âIn addition to this documentary evidence, Gates has told the government in debriefings that in approximately January 2017, Manafort told Gates that he was using intermediaries, including [redacted] to get people appointed in the Administration. Manafort said he was talking to [lenghty redaction] up through approximately February 2018 (the time of Gatesâ guilty plea).â
Any minute now.
Wow. This is one dirty administration.
Itâs not reporting the classical sense, but it is reporting in the way things move nowadays in the media. TPM needs to be able to have breaking stories like this, with a light analysis/description, in order to pull people in who will go through the document. As you can see, some of that is happening right here (including by you), which adds value to TPM over another site that waits a few hours to develop a full summary of the document for readers.
If anything, I think they need to add a Prime only comments section to the Prime articlesâŚnot being able to comment on those the same way anyone can on all the other articles is a mistake I think.
Yes, itâs been fleshed out considerably since it was first posted which is why I added the ETA.
And the Prime comment was just snark on my partâŚ
This is the deep state showing Barr the deep shit that he is so eager to jump into.
Bill is in the Wraithing Box waiting for his turn.
Where was POTUS May 27 - June 3, 2018? Does it have a calendar online?
What we need to do is figure out the names or phrases that would fit correctly in the spaces under those black bars. For instance, âTrump campaign,â or âKushner.â
Well huhâthe texter is saying Manafort and Trump have understandings that should be concealed from others in the administration, even if Manafort replies that this one doesnât.
Well is this a dirty administration because these are the people Trump associates with, or is a dirty administration because regular old Republicans didnât apply because of the taint?
