Anyone surprised that there is a group like this? 'As I was reporting this story, I learned that some members of the group were understandably anxious about its publication. Trump has claimed that there is a legal conspiracy against him...'

@FXRegan @ByronYork in “secret?” they’re private citizens. they have no obligation to transparency. do lobbyists broadcast their meetings? christian advocacy groups? the federalist society? this is such a perfect example of how MAGA twists everything into a conspiracy.

@hahnalytics @ByronYork LOL, who used the "C" word? Not me. I merely said a bunch of cable TV lawyers who get together every Friday to get their stories straight before they hit the air were admittedly concerned about the Politico article, and would only comment anonymously. Why is that?

@FXRegan @ByronYork Because they know the optics look terrible.
