Don't underestimate how shocking this is: we now know there was a criminal effort by a GOP lobbyist, possibly as part of a criminal conspiracy, to interfere with the Mueller probe by perjury, suborning perjury, making false reports to law enforcement, and libel.

This is serious.
2/ Trump is PUBLICLY representing he has nothing to fear from Mueller. So why is there a PRIVATE effort to scuttle Mueller's probe by criminal means, if Trump is saying the same thing privately he's saying publicly? Answer: privately he's freaking out, and has been from the jump.
3/ Burkman has previously been closely connected to Trump's Deputy Campaign Manager, Rick Gates. I've no doubt that just a little more digging is going to reveal more ties between Burkman and the Trump camp. This is really, really bad for Trump—what a stupid mistake they've made.

*MEDIA'S AMAZING MANEUVER*

1) falsely requiring a single Hollywood-style "smoking gun" on collusion
2) reporting breathlessly on a revelation anyone in Hollywood would call a smoking gun (Manafort's delivery of data to the Kremlin)
3) pretending we're still looking for collusion
2/ I mean wow, it's almost like Donald Trump calls media his greatest enemy when it's in fact a stalwart ally, and media claims to be looking as hard as it can for collusion when in fact it just wants to keep us *watching* its "search" for collusion as America goes down the drain
3/ And somehow it's now been a *year* I've been trying to call media's attention to a January '18 NBC report saying Trump thinks Manafort could sink him, which any attorney or journalist would consider key evidence Trump in fact *did* know what Manafort was up to with the Kremlin

NOTE: Today's "failed" Manafort redactions (including revelations that Manafort secretly negotiated on Ukraine with a Kremlin spy) put the thread below in an *entirely* new light. If you didn't read it when I posted it a few days ago, I'd strongly suggest taking a look at it now.
2/ Those who follow my feed regularly know my name-spelling game is usually pretty tight; I'm good at avoiding typos. In this case, I want to note the obvious: that having correctly spelled Konstantin Kilimnik's name a million times in my book and elsewhere, I misspelled it here.
PS/ I put "failed" in quotes here not to suggest that Manafort's attorneys were deliberately incompetent, but just as a way of explaining to those who don't know the whole story that there were redactions that were done improperly and therefore failed to redact critical material.

(THREAD) A couple days ago, MSNBC's @maddow presented compelling preliminary evidence that Trump gets intelligence and propaganda from Kremlin sources. Tonight I'll add to her report in a significant way by discussing the meeting pictured below. I hope you'll read on and retweet.
1/ VANITY FAIR has credited this feed with being the first to recognize the significance of the March 31, 2016 meeting Trump convened—at the Trump International Hotel DC—of his "National Security Advisory Committee." I can tell you @NatashaBertrand deserves a lot of credit, too.
2/ It was a single line from an article (below) Bertrand published on March 3, 2017 that caused me to spend hundreds of tweets dissecting all aspects of a meeting media had previously thought unimportant.

It turns out it could be more key than I realized. businessinsider.com/jd-gordon-trum…

1. The founders believed that the synergy of free, informed individuals with three independent branches of government would make democracy thrive. They didn't consider that the synergy of a campaign, a foreign power and a complicit majority party could destroy democracy.
2. The knew a free press was integral to our success, but they couldn't have envisioned the mass spread of propaganda - spawned and disseminated by foreign entities - through social media. Nor could they anticipate a major news network becoming a propaganda arm of the WH.
3. Further, they didn't likely imagine that our country would become so powerful that the choices of a rogue administration could inflict significant and lasting damage on a global scale - impacting economies, alliances and stability. Yet, here we are.

This article has provoked a lot of commentary today. Most of the commentary from the the left has been alarmist, though some (like @SethAbramson) have been dismissive. I don’t think either response is appropriate. 1/16
There was every reason to expect that Mueller would go into action again shortly after the election; we didn’t need this article to know that. 2/16

LB: Alt-Right = Active Measures (AM) + RU 💰& amplified by RU trolls + coordinated RW media machine + guided by Conservative PR firms & think tanks + Bannon/Trump operatives + key @GOP Senate/Congressional staff = sources for MSM = control the news cycles/narratives
🐘GOP AM2🐘

In June 2016, Rob Goldstone emailed DonJr. promising incriminating information about HRC as part of a RU gov’t effort to help the Trump campaign.

Did the White House via @RajShah45 leak identity of Dr. Ford to @GOP operatives hours before the WaPo story broke?

👉🏼@GOP are actively dehumanizing woman via normalizing rape, sexual assault, limit access to birth control, sexual abuse of children & likely next decriminalize domestic violence, like Putin did in RU.

Trump: “There was no talking to Russia. There was no phone calls. I didn’t make phone calls to Russia. I didn’t receive phone calls. I didn’t have meetings. I didn’t have texts. Anything. I have nothing to do with Russia.” #mueller tinyurl.com/yahwud9s
2/ It’s very telling that this is the way Trump thinks collusion has to work to be collusion. But no one in his or her right mind has ever supposed that the collusion would be that ham-fisted. #mueller
3/ It’s not as though Mueller is trying to find an email that says: “I hereby commit myself to lifting sanctions if and when elected, if you, Vladimir Putin, agree to help my campaign by hacking and disseminating Hillary’s emails.” --(signed) Donald J. Trump.

You must remember that the secret to all of this is not to be afraid of fear. When you can really allow yourself to be afraid, and you don't resist the experience of fear, you are truly beginning to master fear.
