The FBI DID warn Trump & you know it, @LindseyGrahamSC.

Aug 17, 2016: The FBI warned Trump that Russia would try to spy on/infiltrate his campaign & urged him to alert FBI of any overtures. By then, ≥7 Trump officials had contacts w/Russians. None were reported to FBI.

-2016-
MAR: Papadopoulos met w Russians re dirt on HRC
MAY: Don Jr met w Russians, Butina & Torshin
JUN: Don Jr/Kushner/Manafort met w Russians re dirt on HRC
JUL: Carter Page WENT TO RUSSIA
AUG: FBI urged Trump team to report any overtures by Russians
NONE were reported.
#Maddow
Also, @LindseyGrahamSC, this ridiculous question was asked & answered by your comrade @ChuckGrassley in Sep 2017, so spare us your completely false claims that the FBI didn't warn poor, stupid Trump that Russia would try to infiltrate his campaign.

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].

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.

Trump campaign chair & deputy chair Paul Manafort & Rick Gates conspired with Russian GRU-linked Konstantin Kilimnik to pass internal polling data to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, whose private jet Kilimnik flew on to meet Manafort in AUG 2016.
#Maddow nyti.ms/2H0YLzj
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 .
#Maddow
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."

1/ On my feed I try to stay in my lane...focusing on

1st.) #volatility specific issues

2nd.) Economic and stock market observation

But this chart, which someone posted yesterday (forgive me I can't remember who posted it) is worth a deeper dive

 First some qualifications. I am first and foremost a financial economist, and by nature and study, fiscally conservative. Most finance academics are.

I care deeply about fiscal and monetary policy, but not obtuse enough to believe my opinion is always right

What makes the country great is our ability to disagree passionately about a wide array of subjects but find a working common ground.

I try to refrain from many political topics, especially on this platform, because, what can be accomplished debating on @Twitter

(Thread) Why Roger Stone’s testimony matters

Stone wrote an Op Ed called “The Treachery of Steve Bannon.”
dailycaller.com/2018/11/01/tre…

And the NYT released Stone-Bannon email indicating that Stone was the contact between the Trump campaign and Wikileaks.
nytimes.com/2018/11/01/us/…
1/ The articles are dissecting whether Stone had advance knowledge that Wikileaks planned to publish stolen emails. Remember: This is Wikileaks and not Guccifer.

The emails & Op Ed piece doesn’t add much to what we know.
2/ It’s already clear that Trump was an accessory after the fact to the cyber crime of disseminating stolen emails.

More on that here:

🔥Trump asked #Russia🇷🇺to dig up dirt on Hillary Clinton and hired an Israeli spy firm to slime Obama aides who worked on the #Iran deal.🤨

It is ILLEGAL for campaigns to get donations (including free “in kind” services) or to pay FOREIGN entities‼️

theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/m…
⬛️BLACK CUBE⬛️

I wonder if the “Israeli spy firm” that Trump’s campaign allegedly hired (ILLEGALLY) was Black Cube, the same shady outfit hired by Robert Mercer and Harvey Weinstein to INTIMIDATE people‼️

Regardless of WHO paid — Trump himself (unlikely), his campaign (ILLEGAL), or the US government (#corruption) — if Trump really did attempt to hire FOREIGN intel-related operatives to **spy on US citizens**, this would be BEYOND Nixonian‼️

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.

Simpson says his work on the #SteeleDossier began in Sept/Oct 2015.🤔

Feinstein staffer Heather Sawyer asks WHO initially engaged Fusion to perform the opposition colonoscopy on @realDonaldTrump, says it was a REPUBLICAN‼️
