The Trump 2021 audio recording obtained by CNN: Trump: "See as president I could have declassified it." Staffer: "Yeah." [Laughter] Trump: "Now I can't, you know, but this is still a secret." Staffer: "Yeah. [Laughter] Now we have a problem."

Yes, if you store classified documents next to a toilet and then refuse to give them back when asked, you, too, can face federal charges.

Wagner PMC chief Yevgeny Prigozhin’s attempted military coup was one of the most serious political events to take place in Russia in the last 20 years. Why did it happen, what does it mean and what lessons can be learned from it? 🧵

Some possible outcomes of yesterday's events: 1. In Wagner PMC, a split has reportedly started between those who felt used and those who remained loyal to Prigozhin after the failed rebellion. 2. Combat pilots reportedly quit Wagner PMC due to their disagreement with the way…

It hit me we're thinking of Prigozhin in the wrong way. His actions have confused us these last 48 hours (and beyond) because we see him as the leader of a large mercenary body, fighting for pay (or freedom from jail) instead of what soldiers fight to defend (the state). 1/4

@kevinrothrock There's no gigantic Wagner column going into Russia right now. The majority of Wagner fighters are convicts without real loyalty to Prigozhin. There won't be a civil war. It's great theater, but this may all be resolved way faster than many expect and hope.

I know it’s impossible for a sane mind to try and understand it, but yeah - just as a mercenary army unfolds an armed rebellion and takes over a key city, the Russian military still finds it necessary to fire a few missiles at residential houses in Kyiv in the dead of night.

Hard to understate how insane this is. Rostov has over a million people, Russia's 11th most populated city and a military hub. It's like disgruntled Blackwater vets seizing San Diego against little to no resistance.

Here’s my thoughts, for all those asking: I’d put a lot of money on the @WhiteHouse & @POTUS knowing more of what is happening in Russia than Putin does.

Can we finally stop mentioning #Russia in the phrase "great power competition"? Yes, Russia has nukes & energy reserves but it can hardly be considered a great power based on its military performance in Ukraine & now it's being overrun by a hot dog vendor turned mercenary chief

(I am still flabbergasted by all the people, both here on Twitter and on TV, suggesting that all this is for show. To what end? How does Putin benefit? Why invent intricate, implausible conspiracies when basic human psychology is enough to explain everything).
