🔥In the charging documents for accused #Russian🇷🇺agent Maria Butina, the unnamed “US Person 1” — who established a “VERY private line of communication btwn the Kremlin & key [@GOP] leaders through, of all conduits, the #NRA” — appears to be #GOP consultant Paul Erickson. 1/
💣BOOM💣

Note that #DOJ says that “US Person 1” arranged the secret backchannel btwn the Kremlin and **key @GOP leaders** (not just Team Trump).🔥

How many people in the #GOP freaked out when they read that Butina got busted⁉️ 2/

#RICO
#ComplicitGOP

Mueller is investigating the alleged flow of ILLEGAL foreign (#Russian🇷🇺) money for @GOP campaigns via the #NRA.

Don’t think for a moment that at least some #Republicans didn’t know where the #NRA’s sudden influx of cash came from.🙄 3/

After all, @SpeakerRyan and his @GOP cronies were caught **on tape** admitting that #Putin pays off @realDonaldTrump and @DanaRohrabacher.👇🏼

But we *know* that the #NRA used its sewer money to bankroll MANY #Republicans’ campaigns.🤬 4/

#ComplicitGOP

Person 1” (likely Paul Erickson) better cut a deal — and fast — w/Mueller, if he’s not already done so.

*Any* #Republican who interacted w/Person 1 should be sweating bullets b/c Mueller clearly is coming for ALL OF THEM.😎

I’ve run for Congress and worked on several of my husband’s campaigns. INTERNAL poll data are closely guarded.

Yet Trump’s highly experienced campaign chair (Manafort) willfully gave this VERY sensitive info to a #Russian🇷🇺spy (Kilimnik) with #GRU👉🏼hacked the #DNC.

@thespybrief
If the #Russians🇷🇺 stole @HillaryClinton’s voter file AND had @realDonaldTrump’s internal polling data, they would know which voters to target with specific messages.
Add in the stolen #Facebook and other data, plus Trump’s voter file, and #Russia🇷🇺and others (PsyGroup, Cambridge Analytica, etc) literally would have EVERYTHING needed to microtarget voters very specifically and highly effectively.🤨

💣BOOM💣

The Feds have emails exchanged btwn #Russian🇷🇺lawyer/spy Natalya Veselnitskaya & the #Russian🇷🇺Prosecutor General’s (“Crown Prosecutor”) office.😎

Rob Goldstone offered HRC dirt from the SAME #Russian🇷🇺Prosecutor via Veselnitskaya.

@thespybrief
documentcloud.org/documents/5677…
This SAME #Russian🇷🇺lawyer was charged today with #ObstructionOfJustice by US prosecutors in its #MoneyLaundering case against #Prevezon

Veselnitskaya also helped recruit a Swiss DOUBLE AGENT overseeing Swiss #MoneyLaundering cases of #Russian🇷🇺mobsters.

Just *days* after Trump fired @PreetBharara (led SDNY who was prosecuting #Prevezon), Trump’s DOJ abruptly settled their ROCK-SOLID $230 million #MoneyLaundering case and gave #Prevezon a sweetheart ~$6 million settlement.🙄

In emails to “former” #Russian🇷🇺spy Konstantin Kilimnik, Paul Manafort offered Oleg Deripaska “private briefings” on Trump’s campaign to “get whole.” Manafort’s Moscow contact “our friend V” now revealed as ANOTHER “former” #Russian🇷🇺spy Victor Boyarkin.🙄
mag.time.com/Eq15rGo
“Former” #Russian🇷🇺spy Boyarkin says his acquaintance with Manafort goes back to 2006, when Deripaska asked them to help Montenegro achieve independence in the Balkans.🤨

cc @thespybrief

During the 2016 campaign, Boyarkin says it fell to him to collect the $19 million debt that Manafort owed Deripaska. “I came down on him hard.”🤔

Manafort was broke, so instead of money, he offered “private briefings” to Deripaska via Boyarkin to “get whole.”🙄

So tonight, I'm going to livetweet my reading of Chapter 4 of Seth Abramson's Proof of Collusion. You can find an archive of my tweets through Chapter 3 here:
My livetweet isn't anything resembling a summary; it's just the things I find notable, so go ahead and buy Seth's book! simonandschuster.com/books/Proof-of…
Because I'm a weird dude, I'm having fun doing this. :)
Anyway, on to Chapter 4: The Campaign Begins: 2013-2015.

This FBI affidavit describes Maria Butina’s efforts on behalf of a Russian govt official to influence American politicians through coordination with a domestic gun rights organization, presumably the NRA. justice.gov/opa/press-rele…
U.S. Person 2 will probably want to get a lawyer.
U.S. Person 1 will probably want to get several lawyers and a priest.
