Suspects in #SkripalsCase tell ⁦@RT_com⁩ that they had nothing to do with the poisoning and they just went to Salisbury to visit the cathedral #Russia #skripal #skripalpoisoning rt.com/news/438350-pe…
“Of course, we went there to see Stonehenge, Old Sarum, but we couldn’t do it because there was muddy slush everywhere. The town was covered by this slush. We got wet, took the nearest train and came back [to London].”
Funny, because there doesn’t seem to be any “slush” visible in these photos... #Skripal

BREAKING: British prosecutors say they believe they have enough evidence to charge two Russian nationals over the poisoning of Sergei & Yulia #Skripal in Salisbury in March. Their names are Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov #skripalpoisoning
Photos of suspects - their names believed to be aliases. Police say they travelled to UK from Moscow on March 2nd, went to Salisbury on 3rd & 4th (day of attack) and returned to Moscow that evening. Minute traces of novichok were found in their London hotel room. #skripals
Police say a counterfeit perfume bottle (Nina Ricci “Premier Jour”) was used to apply the novichok to the Skripals’ front door. One woman, Dawn Sturgess, later died and her partner was hospitalized after handling the bottle #skripalpoisoning

#TrumpRussia @RepAdamSchiff @olgaNYC1211 A lot of people think @realDonaldTrump is a #Grinch, but just look at all the wonderful presents he gave to his BFF #VladimirPutin
1/When Trump shrugged off brutal murder & dismemberment of WaPo's #JamalKhashoggi and disputed Saudi Crown Prince #MBS's role, #Putin loved it and responded by giving #MBS celebratory high-five.cnn.com/2018/11/20/pol…
2/Similarly, @realDonaldTrump said that even though Russia may have murdered dissidents, journalists, and others critical of #Putin, it wasn't a problem because "it's not in our country." washingtonpost.com/politics/putin…

#Putin starts with rare words in English to "Donald": Ok, Shall we start? Then says a new era of cooperation is at hand. "There's no reason US-Russia relations should be complicated. On 'so-called' interference, the Russian state has never interfered in US election & never will"
Trump just slammed "obstructive" Democrats and the press in prepared remarks at press conference with Putin at #HelsinkiSummit
Q: This morning you blamed the US. Do you blame Russia for anything?
Trump: Yes, I blame both countries. Mueller probe is ridiculous. There was no collusion. There was nobody to collude w.

So Trump uses false equivalence to let Russia off the hook for attacking his own country😡

💣BOOM💣

THREAD: Senate Intel, led by GOP @SenatorBurr & DEM @MarkWarner, releases BIPARTISAN report:

👉🏼Putin ordered #Russia🇷🇺to interfere in the election
👉🏼#Russia sought to HURT Clinton
👉🏼#Russia preferred Trump and tried to HELP him in the election

#TrumpRussia 1/
🔥The Senate Intel Cmte probe exposed "a FAR MORE EXTENSIVE #Russian🇷🇺effort to **manipulate social media outlets to sow discord** and to interfere in the 2016 election and American society," than the Internet Research Agency (#Russian🇷🇺trolls) uncovered by the USIC. 2/
Bipartisan Senate Intel report confirms that #Russia🇷🇺intelligence not only hacked the #DNC, but also hacked BOTH @GOP & Democratic targets, including US primary campaigns, think tanks, & lobbying groups.🤨 3/

TRUMP’S RUSSIAN PARTNERS
2013 Thread - Part 6

🇷🇺🤝🤡 Did Putin become @realDonaldTrump’s BFF?

🙋‍♀️ I’ll take “Absolutely Yes”
for $20 Million, Alex.

($20M - The amount Trump was paid to bring his Pageant to Moscow. The Pageant was in deep in debt beforehand.)
2. 🧐Curious.

🛬🇷🇺@realDonaldTrump flew into Moscow on Nov. 8th, 2013.

🖥 The NEXT DAY, Nov. 9th -
RT (Putin’s Media Co.) published an article about a SKYSCRAPER, Donald Trump planned to build in MOSCOW.

📰The Moscow Times published the story 3 days later.

🤔Odd timing...
3. Odd timing...or not?

👸Recall the “Las Vegas Dine & Sign” earlier that year (2013) when @realDonaldTrump invited Putin’s Gang to the Miss USA Pageant?

(For details see my ⚙️ ‘Moments’ Parts 2 & 3)

🍔📝The gang dined & signed agreements.

Agreements for what⁉️ Exactly.

#TrumpRussia got you down? We get it. How can anyone keep up with ALL that mess?

(cue bad music)

INTRODUCING #TRAITOR CARDS! Now you can traitor with your friends! At home, on the go, never again will you forget what’s his face who betrayed your country.

Collect them all! 🇷🇺
1) Multiple ties to the mob & Russia. 4+ intelligence agencies confirmed election meddling. Congress passed sanctions. Government has the power to stop cyber attacks. Poison, hacking attempts, & still, Trump does nothing.

#Traitor #TrumpColluded
2) Trump Jr is best known for being an idiot. He once noted at a real estate summit that his family sees a lot of money from Russia. He also set up the infamous meeting with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya. He then tweeted out the evidence.
