I'm now in Russian propaganda with Schumer, Siskind and Nicole Wallace. It's laughably false: I never "demanded evidence" of Putin favoring Dems because Trump's brain-fart doesn't deserve any such demand. And I don't ever call myself "#Resistance," either. rt.com/usa/434167-tru…
PS/ Russian propaganda outlet RT now joins Slate, The Independent (UK) and The Daily Beast in falsely claiming I self-identify as "#Resistance" in order to discredit my writing on Trump's ties to Russia. I hope these US and UK outlets feel good about parroting Russian propaganda.
NOTE/ In case you're wondering, I hate the term "#Resistance" for *many* reasons, most notably that I'm *supporting* American values rather than resisting Trump and that it's *Trump* who's resisting core American principles—rather than the *majority* of Americans, who oppose him.

Per CNN reporting just now, William Barr before today told the White House that he would be bringing in his own Deputy Attorney General if confirmed, so the news that Rosenstein will step down if Barr if confirmed should not have led to *any* of the hysteria it seems like it has.
2/ Rosenstein previously said he'd serve two years—so his departure around now isn't surprising anyway, and (in fact) will make it easier for him to coordinate with Mueller as a witness rather than a supervisor. Too many people are reading way too much into his pending departure.
3/ I'll go further: Rosenstein is friendly with Barr, used to work with him, and recommended him for the Attorney General spot—all of which indicates that his comfort level with Barr taking over the Mueller probe has *nothing* to do with an assessment of when that probe will end.

*ONE WEEK IN 2016*

July 27, 2016: Trump asks for Kremlin help
August 2, 2016: Manafort meets Deripaska agent Kilimnik in NYC
August 3, 2016: Trump Jr. meets Deripaska agent Zamel in NYC

NOTE: Deripaska calls himself "one with the State [Kremlin]."

(h/t @ZevShalev/@TheAtlantic)
@ZevShalev @TheAtlantic *ANOTHER WEEK IN 2016*

August 17, 2016: CIA tells Trump Kremlin is attacking US
August 19, 2016: Trump fires Manafort

NOTE: In January 2018, NBC reports Trump is privately telling friends Mueller can't get him *because* Manafort won't "flip" (he already knew Trump Jr. wouldn't)
@ZevShalev @TheAtlantic 3/ A reasonable conclusion: after he and Flynn left the room the CIA briefed them in on August 17, 2016, Trump realized that it was entirely possible Manafort's contacts with the Russians had been picked up by American intelligence, and he could therefore no longer work with him.

*MEDIA'S AMAZING MANEUVER*

1) falsely requiring a single Hollywood-style "smoking gun" on collusion
2) reporting breathlessly on a revelation anyone in Hollywood would call a smoking gun (Manafort's delivery of data to the Kremlin)
3) pretending we're still looking for collusion
2/ I mean wow, it's almost like Donald Trump calls media his greatest enemy when it's in fact a stalwart ally, and media claims to be looking as hard as it can for collusion when in fact it just wants to keep us *watching* its "search" for collusion as America goes down the drain
3/ And somehow it's now been a *year* I've been trying to call media's attention to a January '18 NBC report saying Trump thinks Manafort could sink him, which any attorney or journalist would consider key evidence Trump in fact *did* know what Manafort was up to with the Kremlin

.@AriFleischer is a purely destructive figure in world history. In 2018 he's still peddling lies and bad faith on Hannity.

#Putin now on Channel one gives interview on #HelsinkiSummit, says he agreed with Trump to continue working at the expert level on some of the "new ideas that there are on how to fix conflict in east of #Ukraine."
#Putin after having studied #Trump today: @realDonaldTrump can listen, but keeps his own opinion on many issues" adds many mistakingly call his approach that of businessman but he is acting as a pure politician because he is very much catering to his base, his constituency.
#Putin on #JCPOA:It’s the tool to guarantee nuclear non-proliferation across the region.#Iran one of the most controllable countries by #IAEA.We understnd #Trump’s position,he was saying IRN should stop destructive regional policies. But this[approach]shouldnt lead to nixing deal

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
