From Claude Taylor regarding Russia/Trump investigation:
There are 25 sealed indictments at this time.
These are apparently coming from the Eastern District of Virginia. They are sealed at this time, and will very likely become unsealed, according to Taylor, when "discovery" phase is complete. Follow Taylor on twitter.

13. Thanks, haven't been following his tweets closely.
My assumption was it was just another person on twitter saying random things, but based on this there may be something to Claude Taylor.

14. Follow Taylor and Mensch on Twitter.
There is a strong chance those two are the Woodward & Bernstein for this Russia story.

15. Also, this person on Twitter has been connected politically for decades,
working on three political campaigns and being employed at the Clinton White House. He was the Director of Volunteers there, overseeing 3000 volunteers around he world and a small paid staff in DC. So he had the chance to make some knowledgeable connections.

11. Here's something he tweeted May8
Link to tweet Before the Comey Firing. He has been tweeting this for some time. I'm just to lazy to scroll past may 8 to find his tweets. |

19. Don't fall for it
He has also tweeted that Trump is considering resigning and stuff like this:

22. Why? In his tweets, he distinguishes between rumors (chatter)
and things trusted sources are telling him are true. This was chatter, nothing more.

5. I also trivialize things I know little about.
I also trivialize things I know little about... it allows us the pretense of cleverness that may not otherwise be warranted.

9. Sorry, but is someone that appears not to know what he's talking about
The "discovery phase" is the exchange of evidence between the parties after a case has commenced. If there are indictments that are sealed, which is often the case in an ongoing investigation, there is obviously no discovery being exchanged between the government and the defendants at that point. It's certainly possible that he just doesn't understand the terminology he's using, but presumably any credible source he has at Justice would not make such an error.

"They are sealed at this time, and will very likely become unsealed, according to Taylor, when "discovery" phase is complete."
