SY: “Repeatedly trying to pervert DOJ into a weapon to go after his adversaries, and now shamelessly complaining that DOJ should protect his political allies to maintain his majority in the midterms, is nothing short of an all out assault on the rule of law.”

There's always more >> Accused spy Maria #Butina turned on her Russian charm to secure Russian jet fuel deal with David Keene, NRA president & prominent leader of the conservative movement, his lobbyist wife, & her boyfriend Erickson — The New York Times nytimes.com/2018/09/02/us/…
THREAD on sloppy NYT piece on #Butina. See @john_sipher who says she's not a professional spy but an 'access agent teeing up fools for Russia to compromise.' She develops access & provides targeting information to the professionals, so they know who's vulnerable, who to go after.
@john_sipher There are spies and there are spies. Russia has a dizzying array of intelligence agents, special services & proxies, formal professionals & informal agents like Maria #Butina. @KirkseniyaSF reviews some of the nuances in @KyivPost kyivpost.com/article/opinio… cc @SethAbramson @nytimes

🔥WHOA🔥

Paul Erickson, the “boyfriend” of accused #Russian🇷🇺spy Maria Butina, recommended KT McFarland (Flynn’s “brain”) to serve as Deputy NSA.🤨

In Dec’16, MacFarland wrote that #Russia🇷🇺had “just thrown the USA election to him (@realDonaldTrump)”‼️

cc @ScottMStedman
Just *one day* after Obama imposed #sanctions on #Russia🇷🇺for hacking Democratic groups & state voting systems, McFarland ADMITTED IN WRITING that #Russia had THROWN THE ELECTION TO TRUMP‼️

#Treason

*Mere hours* after Obama imposed #sanctions, McFarland wrote that Misha Flynn would be speaking to then #Russian🇷🇺ambassador Kislyak.🙄

🔥In the charging documents for accused #Russian🇷🇺agent Maria Butina, the unnamed “US Person 1” — who established a “VERY private line of communication btwn the Kremlin & key [@GOP] leaders through, of all conduits, the #NRA” — appears to be #GOP consultant Paul Erickson. 1/

Note that #DOJ says that “US Person 1” arranged the secret backchannel btwn the Kremlin and **key @GOP leaders** (not just Team Trump).🔥

How many people in the #GOP freaked out when they read that Butina got busted⁉️ 2/
