Trump’s Ukraine negotiations with Russia have reportedly expanded to include a multibillion-dollar Lukoil oil deal that could benefit executives with ties to U.S. negotiators. Apparently peace talks now come with an energy-business side quest. #Ukraine

A federal judge ORDERED the Trump admin to privately show him the memo purporting to justify boat strikes that have killed 234 people in the Caribbean and Pacific. Judge Engelmayer rejected several rationales for withholding the memo from the public and will determine whether to release it.
The Court directs defendants to file the declaration(s), and to arrange for the Memo to be available for in camera review, within two weeks of this decision. See ACLU II, 2016 WL 889739, at *6 (ordering Government, within five days, to produce document at issue and “advise the court who has received [it] (including persons who received it from its original recipients) and for what purpose”); Elec. Frontier Found. v. U.S. Dep’t of Just., 826 F. Supp. 2d 157, 172 (D.D.C. 2011) (directing agency to “provide further explanation regarding whether it shared with non-Executive Branch entities the responsive documents that it withheld from the plaintiff”). Defendants are authorized to make appropriate redactions in the declaration as publicly filed, while filing the unredacted declaration under seal. Upon review of these materials, the Court will determine whether to commission supplemental briefing.

Interesting — (i) they’re asking for permission to discuss their testimony with counsel, but counsel clearly already knows what the testimony would be, and (ii) framing it this way puts Cannon in a deserved bind, in that to enforce the gag order would be to deny the defendants exculpatory evidence.

In the seashells case, the FBI tried for a year to prove Comey was exposed to slang use of “86” to mean “kill” in Mafia cases. They found zero. Indicted anyway. Now a true expert says govt theory is “preposterous.” By me in @lawfaremedia.org www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

The FBI proved Comey’s innocence. The DOJ indicted anyway.
In the seashells case, the FBI searched for proof that gangsters used “86” to mean “kill” and that Comey knew it. Now an expert says their theory is “preposterous.”
