THREAD:
The Russian Government has interfered in our elections and social consciousness to an alarming degree, and almost entirely to Trump's advantage. Our entire intelligence community agrees.
1/
Their spies freely mingle with GOP donors, meet with Trump campaign members, and have received classified information inside the oval office while press was explicitly excluded. One spy was released from prison yesterday after serving an 18 month sentence.
2/
There were dozens of indictments of Russian nationals in the Mueller report. Russian oligarchs have pumped millions into Trump's real estate empire for decades.Trump was negotiating a deal to build in Moscow during & through the election, which he & others routinely lied about
3/
That deal included an offer to give Putin a $50 million penthouse in that building. Again, this was during the 2016 election.
4/
The Democrats in Congress are representatives duly elected in their districts by American citizens; citizens ostensibly represented by President Trump. They represent the party that has won the popular vote in six of the past seven elections.
5/
None of the Democrats on congressional committees have had security clearances revoked, are under investigation, or have been accused of or punished for leaking sensitive information...
6/
...while many of Trump's hires and appointees, who have no experience in government, were granted security clearances against the recommendations of the intelligence community.
7/
Donald Trump has the distinction of having lost the popular vote by a greater margin than any President in history. The Republican Party represents less than 25% of the population.
8/
Yesterday Trump promoted a major announcement for this morning. Carried live on many stations, he told the world that al-Baghdadi was dead, again, and that ISIS had been defeated. Again.
9/
In remarks to reporters afterwards, Trump stated in no uncertain terms that he shared advanced news of the raid with Russia and "people he deals with," but not Democrats in Congress because of fear of leaks.
10/
The story of the raid and death leaked to multiple outlets last night anyway.
11/
In no uncertain terms, Trump stood behind the Presidential Seal & in front of our flag & told the world that he has more trust & finds more honor in a hostile foreign govt than in his own intelligence community & the elected representatives of a plurality of the electorate.
12/
Please, please understand how gravely serious and potentially dangerous this is.
