can you imagine being the jurors in manafort's alexandria case? you spend 3 weeks of your life on this only for him to plead guilty less than a month later.

NEW- US district judge tanya chutkan was denied a motion from maria butina's defense to release her from jail pending trial, citing a high risk of flight
the judge also imposed a gag order on both sides, saying comments from butina's lawyer robert driscoll "crossed the line." the judge said they make it even harder to find a jury pool that would ensure a fair trial in DC
the judge also scolded federal prosecutors for last week's misstep, when the DOJ said they were "mistaken" by describing the messages butina sent about sex as being serious in offering sex for employment; judge said she was "dismayed" someone at the DOJ read the messages that way

TRUMP calls summit with Putin "the most successful" of his trip to Europe..... but doesn't cite a single concrete thing he and Putin accomplished 🤔
TRUMP: "I have felt very strongly that by the lack while Russia's actions had no impact at all on the outcome of the election, I accept our intelligence community's conclusion that Russia's meddling in the 2016 election took place.... could be other people, also."
LOLOL Trump explains that he actually meant the exact opposite of what he said in Helsinki.

"In a key sentence in my remarks I said the word 'would,' instead the sentence should have been, 'I don't see any reason why I wouldn't, or why it wouldn't be Russia.'"

Trump may be an intellectual moron, but he's a helluva puppet. He discredits rule-of-law democracy, divides us from allies, AND 2yrs after Russia's info warfare disrupted & shockingly tipped our election, the puppet STILL pushes Putin's big gaslight lie—none of it ever happened.
🚨Trump continues to advance Russian interests—NOT ours: Y'day, he pushed Putin's lie that Russia didn't "meddle." (Even GOP Senate Intel Cmte concluded Russia attacked our democracy to rig the election for Trump.) Today, Trump again floats Russia's claim to Crimea is negotiable.
MORE SHOCKING gifts to Putin: Trump orders Pentagon to analyze costs of withdrawing American troops from Germany—the only bulwark against a potential further Russian invasion of Europe. This during the height of #Russia's malign activity around the world. #maddow #inners

2. This is not the good Mike Rogers (NSA), Admiral Mike Rogers; this thread is about the other Mike Rogers (former congressman). There was always something sketchy about this Mike Rogers.
3. an old re-tweet by @almostjingo reminded me of his involvement.

-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
