Media is again mischaracterizing what Cohen actually said.

@SethAbramson
MEDIA, please make these connections:

(1) Cohen met Mueller's team—7 times—for many hours.
(2) Based on cooperation deal, Mueller believes Cohen now.
(3) Cohen says Stone was Trump-WikiLeaks intermediary.
(4) Mueller is charging Stone with crimes.
(5) Russia probe far from over.
6) If Cohen by *chance* overheard one Trump-Stone call about WikiLeaks, Mueller must believe many such calls actually happened.
(7) Mueller's charging of Stone gives him a chance to squeeze Stone to talk.
(8) If Stone admits to being Trump-WikiLeaks intermediary, it's collusion.
(9) Mueller therefore has *just* initiated a prosecution he credibly believes will lead to collusion.
(10) Media statements that Cohen "threw cold water" on collusion are therefore 180 degrees from the truth.
(Conclusion) Media statements that probe is almost over are also wrong.

Elijah Cummings appreciation thread.

He did a great job controlling republicans.

Now they're making a woman of color apologize for her feelings.

Meadows absolutely used that woman as a prop.

Did anyone else hear Cohen say his last conversation with trump is under investigation by SDNY?

Per Rachel, Flynn was never fired by trump. He left on his own. AFTER Yates and DOJ warning

Him about Flynn/Russia. Zero review or investigation.

Trump wants to fire Coats because he would not lie to Congress for him.

Can the media stop acting like the dump admin is not burning down democracy.

There is no profile in courage on the right. They won't say no. Lindsey fucking graham wants

To investigate the FBI. They’re all just doubling down. I’m really worried something really really big is going to happen.

Trump is going to fire coats and then mueller. What is going to occur to make this stop?

I’m at the end of my rope.

Watching Chris Hayes showing clip of trump using the exact

Verbiage as Hannity about the “emergency”.

We absolutely have a national emergency. It's name is donald j trump.

I hope enough of the right in congress recognizes what a terrible idea this is.
