(28,127 posts)Who ordered this?
After treason45 is out, will he be charged? Or will nothing be done because "it would not be good for the country"?
Pelosi wants him imprisoned? How about we impeach him now so that he can be charged? If we wait until after the election and by some wild chance (Russian intervention), he is re-elected, the enthusiasm for impeachment will have waned.

(8,144 posts)Kilimnik, instead casting him in a suspicious light, thus calling into question the veracity of the reports Russia conclusions.
The article suggests Mueller may have purposefully misled about Kilimnik, and
not to protect him as a source, but to vilify him and detract from his value to the State Department.
It also calls Dowds claims about Mueller editing his voice mail compelling.
Overall, the Hills account provides cover for Kilimnik while it urges questioning Muellers work.

(8,144 posts)Mueller report. Guess thats the intended effect the leakers hoped for.
Think if Mueller left out the Kilimnik relationship with State Department, it was to
protect a source, potentially one to be used in a counterintelligence investigation.
Trump and company fed the info to Hill to, as Abramson says, get him neutralized. So, huge.
Im not clear on it all though, which is why I am putting out The Hillto get a take on what might be going on.

(58,785 posts)That The Hill article was also pushing really hard to make Mueller sound bad for not identifying a secret source.

(58,785 posts)information? We'd believe anything of the Trump WH, of course, but should we automatically?
dawg day
(7,947 posts)"Why Muellers team omitted that part of the Kilimnik narrative from its report and related court filings is not known. "
Gee, let me guess. Because they didn't want him to be killed by Putin?
Something that Solomon and his White House or DOJ sources apparently don't care about?
