Manafort lawyers were the last to know #TrumpTreason
• Jul 31 Manafort Trial 1 begins
• Aug 16 Mueller gives Manafort defense evidence for Trial 2; "Oh shit!"
• Aug 16 Jury in Trial 1 begins deliberations
• Aug 17 Lawyers approach Mueller for a deal
nymag.com/daily/intellig…
Bottom line:
• Manafort never told his attorneys about his liaison roll between Russia and Trump via GRU agent Kilimnik.
• Aug 16; Mueller gives Manafort's lawyers evidence for Trial 2.
• "Oh, shit!" Manafort's lawyers tell him to plead. Treason is the reason.
• Jan 2018; Giuliani spends a couple of weeks in Ukraine trying to sew up mouths & intimidate Ukraine government officials, Manafort's years old enemies.
Very simple: Manafort only wanted to tell his lawyers what he knew Mueller had and nothing else. When Mueller unloaded everything he had related to Russian foreign agent, as he's required by Court rules to do, the lawyers told him he is a target of conspiracy to commit treason.

Former CIA Chief of Russia Operations –
“The margins the Russians needed to change in key states during the 2016 elections were pretty small. Now we know how they were able to be so precise: Paul Manafort was providing polling data to Russia” via GRU Agent Konstantin Kilimnik.
ꟷ Konstantin Kilimnik “our guy from the GRU”- Wash DC based International Republican Institute’s Phil Griffin, 2006.
GRU ꟷ Russian Military Intelligence. “It’s a permanent affiliation. There’s no such thing as a former GRU officer”- @BillBrowder
Konstantin Kilimnik’s GRU - Russian Military Intelligence. An overview.
“To anybody familiar with Russian intelligence, Kilimnik was very likely Manafort’s spy-handler.”- John Schindler, 4/2/18

What are we waiting for?
“The oath of office contains 35 words and one core promise: to ‘preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.’ Since virtually the moment Donald Trump took that oath two years ago, he’s been violating it.”
nytimes.com/2019/01/05/opi…
Wringing of hands over what to do about Trump absolutely amazes me!
• Investigate?
• Indict?
• Demand Mueller report ASAP?
• Impeach?
Absolutely! All four, and NOW!

Is there some reason people are afraid to push Mueller?? Do they think we’re going to hurt his feelings? Or, maybe he won’t like us? Or, he’ll think we’re not on his side?? I’m seeing a #DemWimpFactor while America is bleeding. @SpeakerPelosi @RepJerryNadler

The Manafort filing has been released. It is largely redacted, which is interesting. Read the article..My takeaway from both filings today is that Mueller is closing in, but that he's far from finished. #FridayFeeling

This all started because the #MetPolice & #LBRUT couldn't do their jobs properly & then decided to take the law into their own hands. The result of this decision has led to events stranger than fiction

#BBCNews #Skynews #Itvnews #Channel4News #ThisMorning #TheresaMay #UKGov #LBC
My company was raided. It should have been a straightforward matter. But the #MetPolice & #LBRUT forgot to seize my computer & came back to do a 2nd raid. The search warrant didn't permit a second entry, however, #LBRUT entered unlawfully

#Guardian #Telegraph #DailyMail #GMB #UK
Complaints were then made to my MP #VinceCable. He liaised with the #Metpolice & #LBRUT. And then weeks later, the search warrant was completely changed & was passed off as the search warrant executed on the day of the raids.

So about Jeff Sessions....

#maga

/THREAD
We have heard alot about @jeffsessions lately and his dubious role as US Attorney General. While ignoring the evidence-less #Mueller #TrumpRussia investigation he decides to spend his time battling marijuana and some QAnon hyped sealed indictments. The gift that never give back.
But going back in time and piecing some things together paint a pretty terrible picture of who he is and what he is doing as AG....

#Manafort's Virginia trial begins today—1st of 2 for Trump's Campaign Manager whose shady work for pro-Russia oligarchs in Ukraine were well known. Mueller team will tell this story thru 18 counts of financial crimes. They'll likely also establish debt/cash flow problems by 2016.
#Manafort trial update: Federal judge approves jury of 6 men and 6 women to hear Special Counsel Mueller’s case. The panel of jurors deciding fmr Trump campaign mgr’s fate was plucked from Fairfax County, a part of Virginia that voted heavily against Trump abcn.ws/2AqQ9i9
#Manafort Trial: Mueller Team Opening Statement Paints Manafort as "shrewd liar," rich cheat & thief who acted above the law. Mind-blowing resemblance betw Manafort & disgraced patron Yanukovych, who also happens to be on trial now—for treason in Ukraine. cnn.com/2018/07/31/pol…

(THREAD) The Trump investigation no one is discussing is the one that could prove—via direct evidence—that Trump stole the presidency. Inspector General Horowitz needs to talk to Joseph DiGenova, a Trump supporter who may well be the man whose actions threw the election to Trump.
1. When Comey declined to indict Clinton over her private email server in July 2016, the two biggest critics of the decision—both Trump supporters, both vociferous—were Trump advisor Rudy Giuliani and current attorney for Trump-Russia figures Joe DiGenova. thehill.com/blogs/pundits-…
2. Giuliani is well known for having creepily predicted an "October surprise" for Clinton just 72 hours before Comey re-opened the Clinton investigation. And Giuliani's role went well beyond being a Nostradamus; he was likely involved in Comey feeling forced to re-open the case.

"Manafort and Gates" LITIGATION and POKER -- Both strategic pursuits that count on playing your cards right, and #Mueller is a master player.
THREAD
"Before a civil or criminal trial begins in earnest, there is a period of time in which both parties exchange information about
about the facts of the case. This is called discovery." (criminal.findlaw.com) Before Discovery begins in a criminal case if a guilty defendant finds out the prosecution has a strong case, that defendant will be more likely to plead guilty to lesser charges to get a
lesser punishment. Prosecutors typically do not charge a defendant with their worst crimes initially because if they did that, the Defendant would not be motivated to “flip” – to tell what they know about bigger crime and other people involved in them. In litigation, as in poker
