THREAD: Trump’s Republican Accomplices Do His Dirty Work—And Putin’s (1/9) themoscowproject.org/dispatch/trump…
As they desperately try to smear the Mueller investigation, Trump’s accomplices are doing Putin’s dirty work by going after anybody who’s trying to get to the bottom of Russia’s unprecedented and unprovoked attack. (2/9) themoscowproject.org/dispatch/trump…
The latest target: Bruce Ohr, a longtime Justice Department employee who’s made a career investigating influential Russians, from mob boss Semion Mogilevich to Putin’s pal Oleg Deripaska. (3/9) nytimes.com/2018/08/27/us/…
He’s part of a long list of Russia investigators and Putin adversaries to come under fire from Republicans, including Peter Strzok, Christopher Steele, Andrew McCabe, John Brennan, Bill Browder, and Michael McFaul. (4/9) themoscowproject.org/dispatch/trump…
The ringleader, as always: House Intel Chairman (and former Trump transition official) Devin Nunes, who jetted off to London earlier this month on a failed quest to dig up dirt on Steele and Ohr. (5/9) theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
At best, congressional Republicans are refusing to hold Trump accountable; at worst, they’re actively complicit in his coverup. (6/9)
They’ve stood by as he’s dangled pardons, bashed his own attorney general, and turned security clearances into a weapon to punish and silence his perceived enemies—not to mention they're trying to fast-track Brett Kavanaugh. (7/9) theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
The worst part is they know exactly what they’re doing: House Republicans have been circulating a list of investigations they’ve been impeding that Democrats will pursue if they take back the House. (8/9) axios.com/2018-midterm-e…
The message is clear: Republicans in Congress can’t be trusted to hold Trump accountable, let alone the foreign dictator who helped Trump come to power. (9/9) themoscowproject.org/dispatch/trump…
