"You've embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation. If you think for a moment that your McCarthy-era tactics will suppress the voices of criticism, you are sadly mistaken."

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].

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].

In AUG 2016, after Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort's told him to share internal polling data with Putin ally Oleg Deripaska, Russian GRU-linked Kilimnik used Deripaska's jet to meet Manafort in NY – soon after he met with Deripaska in Moscow .

In SEP 2016, weeks after Kilimnik flew to NY on Oleg Deripaska's private jet to meet Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort, Deripaska secretly met with Russia's deputy prime minister Prikhodko & briefed him on how to "solve the issue with America."

Thread/Rant: So McRaven Wants His Own Security Clearance Revoked?

2. Brennan, of course, had his security clearances revoked by the Trump Administration on Wednesday. Despite the near-uniform caterwauling the bought-and-paid-for legacy media about how “wrong” @POTUS was to do this, there were indeed AMPLE reasons.
