DOJ has released a heavily redacted version of the Team M Report, Andrew Weissmann's effort to capture everything the team focusing on Paul Manafort learned as part of the Mueller Report. But given redacted portions of the SSCI Report released just over a year later, the most interesting part of the Team M Report is likely a classified supplement not released in the FOIA release.

Schedule your evenings accordingly, people. Public hearings begin next Thursday evening in prime time.

Judge Nichols has refused to reconsider his outlier opinion rejecting DOJ's application of 18 USC 1512(c)(2) to efforts to obstruct the vote certification. His order seems quite worried about the vast expanse of corrupt activity that went into obstructive activities that day.

After three years of investigation, all John Durham has obtained for his troubles was an acquittal of the charges against Michael Sussmann.

Judge Christopher Cooper replaced an "and" in the Michael Sussmann indictment with an "or."

Whether Michael Sussmann lied or not, the FBI operated with the understanding that the tip he shared came from Hillary and private computer researchers. It's hard to see how the lie could be material.

John Durham will likely blame Michael Sussmann that, in advance of an election, the FBI called up the agent for the agent of Russian that was the subject of their investigation and told them they were investigating.

The currently "doctored" memory Jim Baker has of what happened on September 19, 2016, is not possible given that he had a meeting immediately after the meeting he had with Michael Sussmann.

Sometimes, Bates stamps are a fun way to show how incompetent John Durham's investigation has been, or the lies he has told to the Judge. Sometimes, though, they leave me with a sense of dread that all the wrong people are going to get hurt.

Portions of the Michael Sussmann trial transcript unsealed overnight make it clear that Andrew DeFilippis violated not one but two orders from Judge Cooper to set off a media shitstorm over a tweet that Hillary didn't even have a role in.
