take it within context. Someone was tweeting cannons to him, so it may be in relation to that. I know I got all excited last week thinking something was on the cusp of breaking, and it didn't.

is an American journalist who focuses on issues of national security and law. He is Senior Fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution, where he is the Research Director in Public Law, and Co-Director of the Harvard Law School – Brookings Project on Law and Security.[1] He works principally on issues related to American law and national security. He is also a friend and confidant of James Comey.

Mr. Wittes owns a tiny replica of a cannon and when he tweets a picture of the tiny cannon it usually precedes a big break in the Trump investigations.

Love my DU buds.

Luckily for the Madman, he's got Hurricane Harvey stealing a good chunk of the headlines at the moment (otherwise this would likely be blowing up on every TV station), but he'll probably bungle that as well.
