Trump still has COVID, and his pandemic is still spreading.

In spite of all the evidence that he couldn't explain of advance warning that this was a back channel meeting with Russia, Erik Prince by his own description in his Mueller 302 was an easy mark. A child, hoping to open Christmas presents he would only get in the context of a back channel meeting with a sanctioned Russian businessman.

DOJ is hiding information that undermines its claims that Mike Flynn's prosecution was abusive in the William Barnett 302. Most significantly, they're hiding the name of Brandon Van Grack, the prosecutor whose conduct is at the center of the dispute.

Yesterday, Chuck Grassley proved that when DOJ claimed Peter Strzok's notes about a January 5 meeting were written the day before, that was a knowably false claim.

In today's hearing on FISA reform, Republican Senators 19 times treated Igor Danchenko in precisely the way -- or worse -- than the way they claim Carter Page was mistreated. And five Republican Senators -- including Senate Judiciary Chair Lindsey Graham and FISA expert Mike Lee -- betrayed zero familiarity with what the FBI declaration in a FISA application entails.

Here's a dedicated presidential debate post so emptywheel community members can hash out the first of three presidential debates.

Counting the most recent batch, DOJ has now used at least two and probably three different methods to add their own dates to exhibits in their attempt to blow up Mike Flynn's prosecution.

In 2016, Roger Stone kept asking Rick Gates -- the same guy who was sending Konstantin Kilimnik polling data starting in April -- to send him "lists."

In his 302, William Barnett claims single-handed credit for preventing the Mueller team from concluding that Donald Trump had ordered Mike Flynn to undermine sanctions. He may be right. That's why it's so important that he claims to be unaware of at least four pieces of public evidence to the contrary.
