Secretary of State Mike Pompeo maintained that “there’s no contradiction whatsoever” in the shifting Syria strategy since President Trump’s initial announcement of US withdrawal.
“This is a story made up by the media.”
2/“...That’s fine, you all write what you like, but the President’s been very clear, and Ambassador Bolton and I have been very clear about this too, that the threat from radical Islamic terrorism is real. ISIS continues – we fight them in many regions around the country...
3/“... Our commitment to prevent Daesh growth, ISIS’ growth, is real. It’s important. We will continue at that,” he said in Cairo.
“We’re going to do it in a way in one particular place, Syria, differently. The United States’ decision, President Trump’s decision to withdraw..

Erdogan himself didn’t make time to meet with Bolton and said that “despite the fact that we reached a clear agreement with Mr. Trump, different voices have been raised from different echelons of the U.S. administration.”
2/ Erdogan: “Trump’s views on Syria and his determination to pull out remain our point of reference.” Re Bolton request Turks don’t attack Kurds, Erdogan said he “cannot make any concessions. Those involved in a terror corridor (in Syria) will receive the necessary punishment.”
3/AP: Shortly after Bolton’s meetings and in an apparent snub to the U.S. diplomatic push, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Ankara’s preparations for a new military offensive against terror groups in Syria are “to a large extent” complete.

Trump & Pence routinely used the material stolen by Russia.

Mike Pence acted in concert with & in coordination w Russia's propaganda arm, WikiLeaks by reading the e-mails (Pence knew were stolen by Russia) during Trump campaign rallies.

MSNBC put together video of every single time Trump mentioned @wikileaks during final month of the 2016 campaign.

Trump and Pence did use material & data stolen by Russian military.

Can you imagine what were they using behind the scenes?

Trump tweeted about hacked Podesta emails 15 minutes after WikiLeaks asked Trump Jr. to ask him to:

(roundup) Summary of 7-13 indictment.

I’ve updated the main page of my website with a summary and short analysis of the new indictment, complete with links: russia-investigation-summary.com

For easy retweeting and argument settling, I’ll put the summary here.
1/ Summary: Russian military officials conspired with persons “known and unknown to the grand jury” to interfere with the 2016 presidential election. They hacked the DNC, HRC's campaign, the DCCC & an Election Board and weaponized the stolen emails to interfere with the election.
2/ Persons “known and unknown to the grand jury” means that Mueller is still withholding the names of others who participated.

Attackers were in the MILITARY, meaning a foreign nation attacked. (Last indictment of Russians showed no ties to the Russian government or military)

Mueller probe indicts 12 Russians for hacking Democrats in 2016
wapo.st/2uvRLBf
Read the grand jury indictment of 12 Russian military officers for conspiring to interfere with the 2016 U.S. presidential election here: apne.ws/Zr6KZDU
On the *exact* same day the Russians started attempts to hack Hillary Clinton's emails Donald Trump said:

“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”

First of all, this was not a spy, it was an informant.
Second, we don't know that this was an informant placed there by the DOJ. It could just as well be a campaign whistle blower alerting the FBI of criminal actions by the campaign.
Third, if this was a spy placed there to undermine the campaign there would have been leaks before the election. Instead this investigation was kept secret until after the election.

Mueller is asking witnesses "pointed questions" on whether Trump was aware that Democratic emails had been HACKED before it was publicly known & whether he was involved in their strategic release‼️ 1/

Specifically, Team🇺🇸Mueller is probing whether Trump was aware of plans for #WikiLeaks to publish the STOLEN emails.🤔

OF COURSE, Trump *knew*, because PapaD told the campaign about the stolen emails‼️

And PapaD is squealing.😎 2/
PapaD got drunk and spilled his guts to an Aussie "diplomat" in London about #Russia's🇷🇺plan to "anonymously release" Democratic emails.

And how? That's right. WIKILEAKS w/whom Trump Jr and Roger Stone were corresponding DURING the campaign‼️ 3/
