We have to watch the Butina case very carefully!!

The Russian government is pushing very hard on this arrest w the Russian Embassy demanding access. This is all normal but what’s peculiar is this interview from Trumps former lawyer and longtime friend Bruce Marks
I wrote an article about him last year and found some interesting things. His involvement w Kislyak the former Russian Amb and his role in the Nov PA recount as Trumps campaign lawyer. Marks was also a sponsor of a real estate conference in Moscow

I am really concerned the Russians will pressure Trump in getting involved and covering this up. Otherwise the Russian press is joyous at the performance of Trump but this arrest is definitely troubling to them and they are calling it a witch hunt

800,000 federal employees are panicking about paying for rent and their living expenses and Trump is using the #TrumpsShutdown to collect donations

@realDonaldTrump has been a con his whole life
Is he running out of money for his legal expenses? Conspiracy against America can be quite expensive to defend
Besides hurting federal employees this shutdown has worked as a perfect distraction for Putin and Trump overseas.

This is very important to watch! I have been following the story on the Russian side since last spring when the Kremlin considered several ways of getting Deripaska’s companies out of sanctions. According to the Russians Mnuchin provided a path for lifting sanctions in April 2018

From April 2018

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

Team🇺🇸Mueller referred the case to the US Attorney in DC. Patten's charge is a FELONY w/max prison sentence of 5 years.

His charges are spelled out in a "criminal information" filing, which often precedes a GUILTY plea.🤗 2/

🔥Patten & #GRU agent Konstantin Kilimnik are the **only 2 execs** listed for a DC consulting firm (Begemot Ventures).

And Patten "just happened" to help Cambridge Analytica MICROTARGET voters during the 2014 midterm election cycle.🙄3/

Executed Arrest Warrant Mariia Butina✔️
Order to seal✔️
Minute Order. Apparently defendant is...not in a good head space and Judge issued a “mental health alert”

cc @lauferlaw @aliasvaughn @TrueFactsStated
Government Motion, and YES I redacted the contact info.
No sense in putting that in the public domain.
Based on the returned & executed arrest warrant Bunita WAS arrested yesterday NOT Saturday
Again look at the date of execution & return it’s the 16th
Whereas the warrant was approved on the 14th
I know it’s a minor detail but facts & accuracy matter

THREAD: Mueller has **at least FOUR DOZEN questions** on an huge array of subjects he wants to ask Trump to probe his ties w/#Russia🇷🇺 & whether he committed #ObstructionOfJustice‼️ 1/

#MuellerIsComing

nytimes.com/2018/04/30/us/…
The NYTimes **obtained the list of Qs that Mueller wants to ask Trump during an interview.🤨

It's VERY hard to imagine that details of the ACTUAL questions would leak, unless the negotiations btwn Mueller & Trump's lawyers have BROKEN DOWN (as I was told a few months ago).🤔 2/
Overall, Mueller's open-ended Q's attempt to penetrate Trump's thinking (good luck!), to understand Trump's motivation for his crazed Twitter posts & to examine Trump's relationships w/his family and his closest advisers.🤨 3/
