	@emptywheel parses the Flynn trial, and makes a really good point (OK, many really good points, but this one stood out to me): In Defense of Emmet Sullivan: Van Grack Suggested Mueller Did Review Whether Flynn’s Behavior Amounted to Treason emptywheel.net/?p=70053

	I'm seeing virtually everyone miss a key detail about Flynn's relationship with Turkey. Yes, he registered in March 2017. But that registration claimed he was working for cut-out company Inovo, not govt of Turkey. That's one of the lies he pled guilty to. emptywheel.net/2018/12/19/rob…

	I love Tom Brady and suspect I'd respect Gisele. But it's probably more useful to write lots of stories who two people who don't each make $25M each manage to pull it together. twitter.com/ariannahuff/st…

	Am I missing the follow-up here where you quote Mitchell on whether the 2011 stuff implicates the 2016 stuff, especially Trump Org making political contributions? wsj.com/articles/trump… pic.twitter.com/kg75EqxPOS

	En resposta a @RDEliason @McDeereUSA I also think that Mueller is hyperaware of, eg, the ongoing Judicial Watch scrutiny in a way that Starr probably avoided.

	En resposta a @mattgreenfield @MollyJongFast It's like intelligence right? A lot of secrecy, a lot of problematic narrators, and big gaps in the record that create all the drama?

	NEW: Trump indicated in a 1988 sworn affidavit that he has a deep understanding of campaign-finance laws. To bring a campaign-finance case, prosecutors have to show someone knew the rules and violated them willfully. via @rebeccaballhaus @joe_palazzolo wsj.com/articles/trump…

	To be fair, Ledeen is an expert on weird conspiracies with sordid foreign governments so he is an expert on crimes like Flynn's. twitter.com/brianbeutler/s…

	En resposta a @MollyJongFast @mattgreenfield Did not know. You must have missed me casting oblique aspersions at Zizek, who asked to be on my diss committee. Among my texts was Count of Monte Cristo. Pretty good prep, honestly.
