๐ย cooked adoption Trump Tower explanation…with Putin
In brief, we know Trump spoke to Putin (without a note-taker) immediately before the plane ride in which his attorneys have conceded he dictated Don Jr.โs statement. Hereโs what he said about that discussion to @maggieNYT @peterbakernyt and @nytmike https://t.co/DVB3YUQLM4 pic.twitter.com/IQq3AFSKiA

In case youโve been off Twitter today, hereโs a catch-up:
A guy who says he is innocent had his lawyers write a 20-page letter on why he refuses to explain how innocent he is.

thread – analysis
1/ The letter from Trumpโs lawyers admitted to an impeachable high crime. It is close enough to felony obstruction/witness tampering. If thatโs not an impeachable abuse of power (dictate a false statement to a witness and lie about dictating it), what is? https://t.co/mhlVSUx5FL
— Jed Shugerman (@jedshug) June 3, 2018
otherwise put
The President of the United States dictated a letter trying to cover-up a meeting that his son, son-in-law, and campaign manager eagerly took, which offered โhigh-level,โ sensitive information about his opponent as part of the Kremlinโs support for himโand then lied about it.

scoop
The president tried to preempt us .. SCOOP: Trumpโs lawyers hand delivered a 20 page confidential letter to Mueller in January. We have obtained it and here is our story: w/@maggieNYT @charlie_savage @mattapuzzo https://t.co/1SqsoV8SoA https://t.co/7N4kwsvSJd
— Michael S. Schmidt (@nytmike) June 2, 2018
excerpt
In a brash assertion of presidential power, the 20-page letter โ sent to the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, and obtained by The New York Times โ contends that the president cannot illegally obstruct any aspect of the investigation into Russiaโs election meddling because the Constitution empowers him to, โif he wished, terminate the inquiry, or even exercise his power to pardon.โ
and this came off it
President Trump, according to his own lawyers, helped deceive the public about the now-infamous Trump Tower meeting between top campaign officials and a Kremlin-linked lawyer. https://t.co/VUmvkrpXSt
— Citizens for Ethics (@CREWcrew) June 2, 2018
When the news of the meeting was breaking, Trump reportedly participated in drafting a statement saying the purpose of the meeting was to talk about adoptions. Trumpโs lawyers, in the letter to Muellerโs team, confirmed all that reporting.
and that came after talking to Putin
In brief, we know Trump spoke to Putin (without a note-taker) immediately before the plane ride in which his attorneys have conceded he dictated Don Jr.โs statement. Hereโs what he said about that discussion to @maggieNYT @peterbakernyt and @nytmike https://t.co/DVB3YUQLM4 pic.twitter.com/IQq3AFSKiA
