THREAD 6 pages 501-600 of the 966 page Senate Intelligence Committee’s #Volume5 counterintelligence report into Russian interference. In these pages we learn of many tentacles Russian intel had in trump campaign. Please read this report for yourself and draw your own conclusions.
Pg 508. While Papadopolous was trying to get a meeting between trump and Putin, at least one member of the trump inner circle knew enough to question whether there might be any legal implications for private citizens working with foreign governments. Michael Flynn, didn’t know?
Pg 509 is for anyone who claims there was no proper predicate to investigate Papadopoulis for liaising with foreign help to establish ties to Putin. This seems like a good reason to see what he was up to. Even if the reason they investigated was to see what Mifsud was up to.
Pg 522 Another reminder of just what the stakes are. You’ve no doubt heard about the poisonings of Litvenenko, Skripal, Kara-Murza, Navalny. This is not a game. These are things that are happening. Each of the aforementioned were working for Democracy.
Pg 523 is an insight into the psyche and how information, misinformation and disinformation can all lead to fixations for small periods. When was the last time you heard about Amazon owning Washington Post? That’s the thing about tropes, they’re dragged out only when necessary.
Pg 536 Read this page and recall Papadopolous told an Australian whom he was drinking with that he knew about Hillary’s emails. Don’t forget, you have been told he was a coffee boy.
Pg 539 If by now you are still of the opinion, lying to the FBI is acceptable, you’re rooting for the bad guys. Mifsud never returned to the US and has not been questioned.
Pg 562 Sanctions? A question to Carter Page about sanctions? You know by now troops, ‘sanctions means’ Magnitsky Act. Weird how the topic of ‘sanctions’, kept coming up with Page, Flynn, jr. It’s like Russia wanted Magnitsky Act eliminated in exchange for trump’s election.
Pg 564 Enter Maria Butina. But, I thought Carter Page was an energy expert giving speeches for oil conglomerates, why would a Russian gun rights activist who fell in love with felon Paul Erickson sent to Russia after her arrest, want to know how to feel about Page?
A quick character reminder, Paul Erickson plead guilty to wire fraud and money laundering. Butina used Ericksons influence to get close to the recently indicted NRA. He got sentenced to 7 years, she got sent home. @NewYorkStateAG might want to see if he has anything to offer.
Pg 582 As I read #Vol5 I am taking it page by page and writing thoughts as they come. I’m trying to give it straight so pages like this are good, as they are validating. The NRA, the Republican Party. This is a good time to remind everyone this was released by Senate Republicans.
Pg 596 what is it with Nat Sec Advisors and meeting with Russian Intelligence agents? Footnotes troops. They tell us John Bolton, the man who would not provide testimony during impeachment, shot a video for a Russian agent!
Where is the media on this?
#Volume5 counterintelligence report is no joke. It is fact after fact, contact after contact. This 100 pages revealed the amount of operations that were seemingly in play. Not just Papadopoulis trying to get HRC email, but also Butina’s ‘sanctions’ and NRA activities.
This must be taken seriously. This is a Republican report telling us there were attempts, the redactions are more than attempts I surmise, to influence, connect or otherwise insert Russian agents with Republican law makers. Did they succeed? Republicans from Wi[REDACTED] maybe?
The information contained in this report is what can be proven. They have the receipts on what they are reporting out. This is what is true. This was a Republican lead investigation. Please read this report. Use critical thinking and vote accordingly.
#Volume5
Hopefully now that the conventions are over, the media will begin to report on #Volume5 It really needs to be known far and wide. @AshaRangappa_ @ericgarland @ZevShalev @LincolnsBible @maddow @MaddowBlog
