🔥#BREAKING: Michael Cohen says he WITNESSED Donald Trump Jr tell his father about upcoming Trump Tower meeting with Russians offering Clinton dirt, on June 9, 2016. per @carlbernstein @jimsciutto
Of COURSE Trump knew about the Trump Tower meeting. Here's a refresher on the bombshell significance of that June mtg and how to avoid team Trump & team Putin propaganda about it. Russia dangled dirt for sanctions relief and Trump jumped. And kept jumping. medium.com/@PaulaChertok/…
Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani: "OK Russia hacked. Did he have something to do with that? NO. Did he get the fruits of Russian hacking unknowingly? NO! But if he did, he did nothing wrong…Also Cohen is a proven liar. There's no way you're gonna take down the president of US w/ him."
WOW >> Not only is Michael Cohen willing to testify under oath to Mueller that he witnessed Trump Jr telling Trump about the Russians' offer on Clinton dirt ahead the Trump Tower meeting. Cohen says Trump APPROVED the meeting. AND OTHERS WERE PRESENT. cnn.com/2018/07/26/pol…
I stand by my July '17 take: The meeting was earth-shattering. It provided key information to Russia…that helped and perhaps even launched the Kremlin’s 2016 attack on America’s democracy, an attack Trump is still covering up to protect himself, his family…his cohorts in Russia
So who were the “others” Michael Cohen says witnessed Trump tell Jr that he approved of his campaign meeting with Russians to get Clinton dirt? @Reince Priebus was in Trump Tower on June 9. That would mean RNC knew of Russian interference too. Might explain GOP abdication & 🤐
Cohen says Trump knew of Trump Tower meeting w/ Russians before it happened and approved it. That’s 2 yrs of lies about an attack on our country POTUS encouraged, participated in, benefited from & covered up. Who gets to keep their prize when cheating helped them win?? #Maddow
Stunning. "If he misled the committee, he's lying to Congress. That's a crime. That'd be up to the prosecutors, NOT ME”—Judiciary Chair @ChuckGrassley won’t bring DonJr back despite reports Cohen witnessed him telling Trump about #TrumpTowerMeeting cnn.it/2LAADWn @mkraju

>> BOOM >> Mueller has evidence Manafort shared polling data about the 2016 presidential election with Russian intel asset Kilimnik. And lied about it. His lawyers bungled redactions in filing and here we are. #TrumpRussia #Conspiracy #Collusion #RussiaGate #MuellerInvestigation
My favorite part so far (paraphrasing): OK, so Manafort shared [presidential polling data] with Kilimnik. But why assume he lied when he failed to tell Mueller? He just forgot! He was so busy! After all, he was running a US presidential campaign. He can't remember EVerything. lol
Not only is NO COLLUSION a big lie. There’s so damn much collusion, it’s more like TREASON. We learned today 1) Manafort met Russian agent Kilimnik in Madrid during campaign, 2) Paulie shared polling data w/ him, & 3) They discussed “Ukrainian peace plan.” While Russia attacked.

Wall shutdown showdown’s next act: Trump goes to southern border Thursday “to meet with those on the frontlines of the national security and humanitarian crisis.” He’s not negotiating a deal. He’s putting on shows to keep his propaganda on TV/media. Maybe he’ll bring a caravan😒
Trump to visit southern border after telling aides on Sunday he wanted them to come up with a resolution to the shutdown fight that would reopen the government—without him appearing to have capitulated to Democrats. via @WSJ wsj.com/articles/trump…
TV networks agreeing to air Trump's far-right wall propaganda address as if a real national security emergency is pretty despicable. An ominous sign that they haven't learned much about how propagandists use media to elevate bullshit in ways that undermine our country & the press

#KEYTHOUGHTS: Some things to note on Michael Cohen's guilty plea today for lying to Congress about his efforts to negotiate a Trump Tower Moscow deal w/ Russia during 2016.

1/ It's no coincidence that this comes TWO DAYS before Trump's next scheduled meeting w/ Putin at the G20.
2/ This new move by Mueller is perfectly-orchestrated. This isn't only about lying to Congress and cooperation...

It directly IMPLICATES Trump himself...and his children.

According to Cohen, he gave each of them regular briefings throughout the process.
3/ Cohen admits (with CORROBORATION thru documentary evidence seized by the FBI and Mueller) that Moscow Project negotiations lasted thru JUNE 2016.

That's months after the timeline Trump, Cohen, and those around them, have claimed.

BREAKING: President Trump learned within the last 24 hours that Robert Mueller would like to ask questions both orally and written for the President to respond to issues surrounding obstruction of justice.

I guess we now know what set Trump off this morning.
Regardless of what Trump does at this point, fire Mueller, dont fire Mueller there is already a dead man's switch that will spring into action should Trump take the additional step in his ongoing obstruction of justice and actually fire him. Furthermore:
Trump has shown his hand and it is weak. While some Trump supporters, especially the QAnon contingent, will believe him no matter what anyone says, no matter how nonsensical/inconstant his lies might be, eventually enough GOP lawmakers will turn on Trump

#BREAKING right now:

Cohen claims Trump knew in advance of 2016 Trump Tower meeting cnn.com/2018/07/26/pol…
"Cohen alleges that he was present, along with several others, when Trump was informed of the #Russian's offer by Trump Jr. By Cohen's account, Trump approved going ahead with the meeting with the Russians, according to sources."
#TrumpTowerMeeting
I'm sure more will be revealed in the next 24hrs, but I think we are headed into #collusion territory here.

Also, Trump claimed repeatedly that he knew nothing about that meeting.

But Trump did say "anyone" would jump on that offer. Forgeting it was from #Russia.

#Breaking BADABOUM thermonucléaire. Au printemps 2016, #Trump Jr a reçu des propositions d'aide pour la campagne de son père des Émirats, d'Arabie saoudite et d'1 compagnie israélienne spécialiste de la manipulation des réseaux sociaux. Il a dit oui.#Mueller le sait. Game changer
2) #Breaking #Trump commence bien sûr sa journée en répondant au scoop du @nytimes d'hier qui lui pose 1 énorme problème (car il compromet encore un peu plus son fils). SON argument: comme #Mueller n'a rien trouvé sur la #Russie, il cherche n'importe quoi.
3) Sur la méthode, c'est très intéressant car hier, immédiatement depuis la publication du @nytimes, on a vu des milliers de comptes pro-#Trump "rôder" et diffuser cet argument: #Mueller n'a rien trouvé sur la #Russie, alors il va chercher Arabie Saoudite, EAU et Israël...
