#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.

#FLAG: MCGAHN AND HIS LAWYER COOPERATED...BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT TRUMP WAS GOING TO SET HIM UP AS "THE FALL GUY."
They were suspicious when Trump didn't protest letting him be interviewed...
So McGahn cooperated extensively to cover to demonstrate that McGahn did nothing wrong.

#FLAG: I don't want to read too far into it, but for the jury in the Manafort trial to be asking for the definition of "reasonable doubt," after one day of deliberation, is concerning, at least for me...
#TBH: I hate to say this, but I've been skeptical of this jury from the beginning.
How are there 12 individuals in the Alexandria, Virginia area (just outside of D.C.) who had never heard of Paul Manafort?
Either they are particularly ignorant individuals, or someone's lying...

No one is more to blame than Judge Ellis.

Meanwhile, JOINT MILITARY EXERCISES with our allies in South Korea were "too expensive."
They act as a deterrent to North Korea, China and Russia, and are essential to ensure preparedness with our allies should Kim Jong Un launch an attack.
They would cost $14M...

#REMINDER: The Trump Administration's position on the suspension of joint military exercises with South Korea was CONDITIONAL.
The annual August exercises were suspended...AS LONG AS North Korea acted in "GOOD FAITH" in working towards denuclearization.

#FLAG: U.S. Officials, from the Military Intelligence Agency in the Pentagon to the Secretary of State, have ACKNOWLEDGED...
North Korea is ACCELERATING their nuclear program, continuing missiles production, and hiding assets from the U.S..
Good faith?

#TRUTHBOMB: You've heard it a million times.
"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.

#BREAKING: JEFF SESSIONS FIRES FMR. DEPUTY FBI DIRECTOR MCCABE...LESS THAN 48 HOURS BEFORE HIS RETIREMENT.
He'll likely lose his pension. His retirement was set for Sunday, McCabe's 50th Birthday.
McCabe was the target of the RW Media and Trump himself.

AFTER 22 YEARS OF SERVICE.
#FLAG: MCCABE SPEAKS OUT!
McCabe declares that his firing, and Trump’s persistent needling, were intended to undermine the special counsel’s investigation.
“The idea that I was dishonest is just wrong," he said, adding, "THIS IS PART OF AN EFFORT TO DISCREDIT ME AS A WITNESS."

I can't with this guy...but interestingly, he's also revealing a lot with each one of these interviews.
Why not just go speak to the Grand Jury? Clearly, it's not about avoiding spending more time talking about the investigation and your experience...
He can't help himself..

#NOW: SAM NUNBERG says he was told he wasn't a target or a subject of the investigation and he was OFFERED IMMUNITY by the Special Counsel's team.
He also said THEY WANT HIM TO TESTIFY...TO CATCH ROGER STONE ON PERJURY...
ADMITTING THAT ROGER MAY HAVE LIED TO PROSECUTORS.
