THREAD: In light of the Trump admin lifting sanctions on Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska's companies, recall that Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, conspired with Deripaska during the 2016 campaign with help from Russian intelligence operative Konstantin Kilimnik.
#Maddow
JUL 7, 2016: Manafort offers Deripaska private campaign briefings then meets with Kilimnik re the same on Aug 2.

AUG 11, 2016 email from Manafort's CPA: "Paul has indicated $2.4M in fees earned, but not yet received. Expected to be deposited Nov 2016 [post election?]."
#Maddow
JUL 29, 2016 email from Russian intelligence operative Kilimnik to Manafort [days after Trump accepts GOP nomination]: "I met today with [Deripaska]. I have important messages from him to you. He asked me to go & brief you on our conversation."

McCARTHY: There’s two people, I think, Putin pays – Rohrabacher and Trump...swear to God.

RYAN: This is an off the record [laughter] NO LEAKS...alright?! This is how we know we’re a real family.

SCALISE: That’s how you know that we’re tight.
-Never forget-
JUN 15, 2016, @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy to Paul Ryan, @SteveScalise, and other GOP: "There’s...there’s two people, I think, Putin pays. Rohrabacher and Trump...swear to God."

@Evan_McMullin was there and confirmed it was not a joke.
wapo.st/2pY7eFF
Per @Evan_McMullin: One senior GOP leader [that's you, @GOPLeader!] dolefully informed his peers that he thought Trump was on the Kremlin’s payroll and had been compromised by Russian intelligence. Other GOP leaders were surprised but did not dispute him.

CORRECTION: Manafort told Kilimnik to pass TRUMP polling data not to Deripaska but to Ukrainian oligarchs Rinat Akhmetov & Serhiy Lyovochkin, who funneled $50K to Trump's inaugural & is business partner to Dmytro Firtash [top-tier comrade of Russian mob boss Mogilevich].
#Maddow
FYI: Rick Gates testified that between 2010-2013, former Yanukovych CoS Serhiy Lyovochkin funneled $42M to Paul Manafort. At the time, Lyovochkin was business partner to Dmytro Firtash [top-tier comrade of Russian mob boss, Semion Mogilevich].
#Maddow kyivpost.com/ukraine-politi…
In his plea deal, Sam Patten, US business partner of Konstantin Kilimnik [Russian GRU associate of Manafort & Gates] who worked for Cambridge Analytica in 2014, said a Ukranian oligarch [Serhiy Lyovochkin] funneled $50K into Trump's inaugural fund.

Alright. Put this off long enough. Let’s do Chapter 2.
Let’s start here. In 2015.
Pg 13 of recent indictment ➡️ “also released documents they had stolen in other spearphishing operations, including those they had conducted in 2015 that collected emails from individuals...”

New indictment on Butina says that US person 1 (Erickson): "worked with BUTINA to arrange introductions to U.S. persons having influence in American politics, including an organization promoting gun rights for the purpose of advancing the interests of the Russian Federation."
"BUTINA and others *known and unknown* to the grand jury, including the RUSSIAN OFFICIAL, knowingly did combine, conspire, confederate, and agree together and with each other to commit an offense against the
United States"
Indictment expands timeline once again, pushing Butina's actions on behalf of Russian govt all the way back to January, 2015. This was just months after Kremlin staffers were discussing support for her: medium.com/@ScottMStedman…

(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)

1/ Let’s take a close look at these indictments handed down today, shall we? (justice.gov/file/1080281/d…)
2/ Count One is Conspiracy to Commit an Offense Against the US. It is alleged that Russia, through its military intel agency (GRU) engaged in large-scale cyber intrusion operations and staged release of documents to interfere in the 2016 election.
3/ In paragraph 8, indictment alleges those charged “conspired with each other, *AND WITH PERSONS KNOWN AND UNKNOWN TO THE GRAND JURY*” —this implies there are *UNCHARGED CO-CONSPIRATORS*. Acts began in March, 2016. Releases began in June, 2016, continuing through November 2016.
