#FourYearsAgoToday Donald Trump exulted over 2018’s second quarter GDP numbers, saying the 4.1 percent annual growth rate was “very, very sustainable” and “isn’t a one-time shot.” Here are the quarterly growth figures for the rest of his term in office. https://t.co/uMS2g9G3Wj https://t.co/QMKgFNKqAb — PolitiTweet.org

Last week we debated how the Justice Department was doing in the Jan. 6 investigation. This week, @qjurecic, @nkorpett, @petestrzok and I all got together to lay out how to evaluate the investigation going forward. https://t.co/0aBzcHqLhZ — PolitiTweet.org

That leaves the question of who the fourth source is. — PolitiTweet.org

Marcy's point is entirely convincing that Meadows himself is one of the sources for the material about his phone records. https://t.co/EOXonpoKkx — PolitiTweet.org

Assuming that this disclosure did not come from prosecutors or the FBI (which would be a serious crime), it's safe to assume that the disclosures about the grand jury testimony likely came from either Jacobs or Short themselves or, perhaps more likely, from attorneys for them. — PolitiTweet.org
Russian Embassy in USA @benjaminwittes
@emptywheel's point actually induces an additional thought about the story's sourcing, which is increasingly possible to trace. The Post says it has four sources supporting the lede. It has two sources supporting the discussion of grand jury testimony by Short and Jacobs. https://t.co/gNBMFaXmL4 — PolitiTweet.org

This is as close as a newspaper gets to telling you that Meadows talked anonymously for the story. See my guide for unpacking sourcing. https://t.co/ss2Uzvi9xF — PolitiTweet.org

Important Correction: @emptywheel makes an excellent point about this passage that I missed last night. It's not "blah blah blah/Boilerplate." It's actually very revealing. Note the passage says that "a lawyer for Meadows declined to comment." It does not say that Meadows did. — PolitiTweet.org

Sort of. Taking pictures of sunflowers is lovely. And everyone should do what is possible. But the goal here is to get in the faces of the russian diplomats, to remind them very personally that the world is with #Ukraine️. So if you live near a diplomatic facility, show up. — PolitiTweet.org

Bottom line. This is a really meaty story packed with a lot of new stuff. Other reporters will be chasing and building on for the next several days. Congrats to @CarolLeonnig, @jdawsey1 @DevlinBarrett and @hsu_spencer! That’s all I got—for now. — PolitiTweet.org

Another interesting passage. Note the time references. The fake elector scheme becomes a major focus “this year.” It is not clear why or when that happened but it appears, based on the reporting above, to have been before the Committee forced the issue. https://t.co/chK9WBAsUl — PolitiTweet.org

This is a very interesting passage suggesting that both the bottoms-up approach about which Attorney General Garland has spoken about publicly and the Jan 6 Committee’s theory of the case may be bearing fruit. This point is vague but stated authoritatively. Worth watching. https://t.co/98rcAYIsPl — PolitiTweet.org

people close to them—aka their lawyers—likely are the sources. Different newspapers have different policies on this kind of thing, and I confess I do not know for sure what the Post’s current policy is. If this were the Wall Street Journal, I would confident that Jacob’s and — PolitiTweet.org

Okay this is very interesting. The two grand jury witnesses both “declined to comment.” This can mean one of two things: either that they declined to comment *for the record* but may still be the sources of the story or that they declined to talk to the Post at all but that https://t.co/EkWmV58Z0R — PolitiTweet.org
