#FTR: Nixon WH Counsel, John Dean, is pretty much universally considered a hero in the Watergate scandal.
While he wasn't an angel, his cooperation ultimately led to Nixon's impeachment and resignation.
Hmm, I wonder why Trump would call him a "RAT" and view him negatively...?

#FLAG: Trump invokes McCarthyism, while hurling unfounded accusations at Democrats and the Special Counsel.
He claims he demands transparency, while his White House lies at every turn.
When he says "many lives have been ruined," he's setting up pardons.

#FLAG: Trump and the Right Wing often say "No Collusion...except by Crooked Hillary and the Democrats."
It's a repeated counter-narrative about the FusionGPS commissioned #SteeleDossier, claiming it's collusion.
It's been debunked. But truth isn't truth.

"There was No Collusion except with the Democrats and Russia!"
It's an often-repeated right-wing counter-narrative pointing to the FusionGPS commissioned #SteeleDossier.
Here's why they're full of it and how to counter it.

#FLAG: Trump defenders say if it's illegal to get "opposition research" from a foreign national...
...then the Democrats are guilty of it, because they commissioned Christopher Steele, a former British spy and UK national, to gather intel that became the #SteeleDossier.

#FLAG: Let's look at the specific law...
52 USC 30121 - It's illegal to solicit, accept, or receive a contribution (opposition research) or donation of money or other thing of value from a foreign national in connection with an election.
But the fact is. STEELE WAS PAID.

#OBVIOUSLY: None of this is surprising. But would love to hear what Republicans have to say now...
What about the House Intel Republicans who claimed that they did not believe Putin personally ordered election interference to help Trump and hurt Hilary?

#FTR: The ONLY time in NATO's history where a member country invoked Article 5's collective defense which says that an attack on one ally is an attack on all...
...was by the United States after 9/11.
The United States benefits from NATO. All allies do.

Turing spent much of his early life separated from his parents, as his father worked in the British administration of India.
At 13, he was sent to a large boarding school, with a rigid syllabus, so Turing studied advanced modern scientific ideas, such as relativity, on his own.
At 13, he was sent to a large boarding school, with a rigid syllabus, so Turing studied advanced modern scientific ideas, such as relativity, on his own.
In his seminal 1936 paper, "On Computable Numbers," Turing proved that the theory of a universal algorithmic method of determining truth in math cannot exist.
He also introduced the notion of a universal computing machine, the "Turing Machine” — the basis of the modern computer.

#OBSERVATIONS: A few thoughts in reflecting on the Trump legal team letter that argues the President is above the law.
1. TRUMP'S LAWYERS BASICALLY CONCEDE HE OBSTRUCTED JUSTICE.
They aren't saying he didn't obstruct. They're saying because he's the President, it's not a crime.

2. TRUMP'S TEAM LEAKED THE LETTER, DESPITE TRUMP ACCUSING MUELLER'S TEAM OF THE LEAK.
Trump tweeted this week that he doesn’t have time to focus on the Russia investigation b/c he's so busy president-ing...
WHICH IS THE SAME ARGUMENT MADE IN THE LETTER.

Here's Trump accusing Mueller's team of leaking...
We know the Special Counsel doesn't leak.
It's NOT A COINCIDENCE that the claims in the letter mirror Trump's tweets this week. Once again, just like the #49Questions by Sekulow, it's from Trump's side.

#FTR: NORTH KOREA HAS NOT AGREED TO DENUCLEARIZATION.
They have just stated that they're suspending nuclear and ballistic missile testing...which they had done in practice for months.
THE FACT THAT TRUMP DOES NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE SHOULD CONCERN EVERY AMERICAN AND OUR ALLIES.

TRUMP WANTS A "WIN" SO BADLY, HE'LL MAKE A HORRIBLE DEAL.
In suggesting that North Korea has made large concessions prior to this summit...HE'S PUT US IN A WEAK POSITION AT THE NEGOTATIATING TABLE.
They can now claim they've already taken drastic action.
