In case you missed it amongst all the sturm, drang and Twittmachine-driven firehosery, last weekend Buzzfeed's Jason Leopold released the first 500 pages of Robert Mueller's back pages he pried out of the USian Justice Dep't by FOIA.
And, surprise!, it would appear that the good Mr. Mueller buried a whole lot of ledes when he wrote his actual report.
One of the bits that was shot deepest into the magma was the relevation, from Paul Manafort's man Friday, Robert Gates, that, far from being a hawkish figurehead who was later derailed only because his Putin-friendly Turkish side-hustle was revealed after he was named the NSA boss, Michael Flynn was actually the Trump campaign's inside Russia man from the get-go.
Will Bunch has that story in the Philadelphia Inquirer:
...Among the highlights are that Gates said that a lot of the pressure to find the purloined (Clinton) emails (in the run-up to the 2016 election) fell on retired general Michael Flynn — soon to be Trump’s short-lived national security adviser — because Flynn “had the most Russia contacts of anyone on the campaign.”...
Gosh.
Who'd a thunk it?

And, what does this have to do with anything going down now and/or in the coming weeks?....See, Stone, Roger.

Ah, yes, Empty Wheel the best place to go for information regarding all things Mueller and the continuing stories attached to that. We'll all enjoy our winter hours as she tells us about the Roger Stone trials.
Marcy Wheeler and her crew are amazing. Some of the regular posters have a great deal of information to offer from time to time.
a warning: that blog does not tolerate idiots or trolls. it is an amazing source of information.
thank you for having it on your blog roll because that is where I originally became aware of it.

Agreed.
Both about the blog and the commenters.
In particular, one must take care not raise the ire of bmaz.
What I've never understood is why proMedia sites do not exert such 'we will not suffer fools' oversight on their comment threads.
I mean, it's not as if they do not do this with their Letters To The Editor pages.

I have been going there for a couple of years now. Sometimes they get deeeep in the weeds with so many lawyers. But it is fun to watch Bmaz crush people.
