Sam Nunberg's the one leaking his subpoena to half the journalists in DC. Is he doing it to protect Bannon?

The most interesting thing about a subpoena Axios replicated is that it places the start date for Mueller's interest at the moment when Felix Sater was envisioning a real estate deal in Moscow might get Trump elected.

Hicks has now committed to a story that suggests the lie about the Sergey Kislyak conversation came from Flynn and not someone else, someone like Kushner or Trump himself, even while she has dodged answering about whether any of those other people asked her to lie about that or similar issues. 

A motley collection of things on my desk, fit only for an open thread -- stock and commodities markets this morning, a little playing with language, some cyber. The usual around here.

Brief reflections on my series on Trumpian Motion.

There's more going on than meets the eye, a casual search reveals. Why was a bank and tax fraud and money launderer involved in identity theft monitoring?

Andy McCarthy's response to the Schiff memo is mostly bullshit. But he raises an important point I've been raising: if FISC permitted FBI an unlimited search of Carter Page's devices, then it would have permitted surveillance of the Trump campaign.

It was just a single act of microaggression. There may be worse ahead; making nice is a luxury for some of us.

Abbe Lowell is the kind of defense attorney who will always put on a brave face and blab to the press. Until these most recent clearance woes for Jared Kushner.

The biggest piece of news in the Schiff memo is that Joseph Mifsud told George Papadopoulos (who then told Alexander Downer) that Russia would release the dirt they had to help the Trump campaign. That makes the June 9 meeting far more damning.
