More tapes😉 >> White House Counsel Don McGahn has provided 30 hours of testimony to Russia probe investigators, cooperating with their inquiry into Trump's obstruction of justice nytimes.com/2018/08/18/us/…
Wow >> McGahn became a cooperating witness in Mueller's Russia probe for fear Trump was setting him up to take the fall for obstruction! Trump's already questioned McGahn's loyalty, so he'll explode abt this @maggieNYT @nytmike report. (Also: McG called Trump "King Kong"=Big Ape)
@maggieNYT @nytmike If there are no privilege claims, I wonder if Mueller has seen those "couple" important documents McGahn reportedly locked away in a White House safe? Remember, Trump lawyer Ty Cobb called McGahn a "spy"?

>> 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.

#BREAKING >> Feds Charge Natalia Veselnitskaya—Russian Lawyer at 2016 Trump Tower Meeting—In Money Laundering Case That Shows Kremlin Ties nytimes.com/2019/01/08/nyr…
SDNY charged Veselnitskaya with obstruction of justice (making "misleading declaration") in the Prevezon case involving money-laundering fraud Sergei Magnitsky discovered involved Russian govt officials. (Sorry, Putin. Magnitsky sanctions are here to stay)
“Russian Attorney Natalya Veselnitskaya is now a wanted person in the U.S. for intentionally misleading US investigators, regarding Prevezon Holdings’ role in the $230 million dollar tax fraud scheme perpetrated by a criminal organization that included…corrupt Russian officials"

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

1) We now know several Russian officials reached out to a half dozen Republicans very close to Trump and his campaign, including his eldest son, his closest adviser, his lawyer, and his campaign manager.

2) We now know the Trump campaign took meetings with the Russians enthusiastically, during and after the campaign.
3) We now know Russia offered campaign assistance — they called it "synergy". No one affiliated with the Trump campaign made an attempt to alert the FBI of this effort to subvert our elections. (Although Reality Winner tried and went to jail for it.)

I'm reading a lot of takes this morning that are using Trump's framing to make sense of the sentencing memos. They may not realize that they're doing it, I'm not sure. (thread)
Trump's propaganda team has been arguing since Cohen plead that "there's nothing to see here." They've used rhetorical strategies of denial (Trump didn't do it) and differentiation (it's not what you think or what they want you to believe) to try to wiggle out of guilt.
Trump's propaganda team has also tried to walk us through the "points of stasis" (points of stopping, or argument) to explain away the indictments, pleas, and memos.

Stases: What happened? How should we understand it? How should we value it? What should we do about it?

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
