THREAD: 10 Things the Incoming House Majority Can Do For the Russia Investigation
themoscowproject.org/dispatch/10-th…
One week ago, the American people voted to create a check on the Trump administration’s rampant corruption. Here are 10 big steps the new House majority can take to advance the Russia investigation:
1. Bring back witnesses who appear to have lied or omitted key information in their initial testimony, including Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, Jeff Sessions, Roger Stone, and Erik Prince. abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump…
2. Call key witnesses who haven’t testified or gave incomplete testimony, including Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, George Papadopoulos, and Maria Butina. nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna8…
3. Find out who was behind the blocked number Trump Jr. called while he was planning the June 9 meeting in Trump Tower. cnn.com/2018/05/17/pol…
4. Have the Trump Organization turn over its documents related to the failed attempt to develop Trump Tower Moscow during the 2016 campaign. buzzfeednews.com/article/anthon…
5. Determine whether Flynn resigned because he lied to the vice president about his contacts with Russia—or whether his “underlying conduct” in his phone calls with the Russian ambassador led to him being forced out. abcnews.go.com/Politics/timel…
6. Request intelligence intercepts between Erik Prince and other attendees of the January 2017 meeting in the Seychelles, as well as communications between Prince and Trump’s transition team. washingtonpost.com/world/national…
7. Obtain financial records from organizations that may have received Russian support during the 2016 election, such as the National Rifle Association. vanityfair.com/news/2018/06/t…
8. Investigate the conflicts of interest Kushner’s real-estate holdings create—including whether he and the head of Russia’s state-run development bank discussed a bailout for his struggling business. washingtonpost.com/politics/expla…
9. Demand all information and documents related to Trump’s closed-door meeting with Putin in Helsinki, including all instructions given to senior staff following the meeting. cnbc.com/2018/07/16/tru…
10. And, perhaps the biggest step of them all: Subpoena Trump’s tax returns. vox.com/midterm-electi…

A newly published memo shows that, along with their efforts in Montenegro, Paul Manafort and Oleg Deripaska also worked to sway elections in Cyprus.
documentcloud.org/documents/4954…
According to @kenvogel, the first to post the document, KC refers to Kypros Chrysostomides, a Cypriot politician who also helped facilitate Manafort's under-the-table payments from pro-Kremlin Ukrainians:
Cyprus has historically been a favorite tax haven for Russian money launderers—often through a bank that once counted Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross as a board member, and the Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovlev one of its biggest shareholders.

Matt Whitaker—whose main qualification to be Acting Attorney General was his outspoken opposition to the Mueller probe—has reportedly been told by DOJ ethics officials he does not need to recuse from overseeing Mueller’s investigation. www-m.cnn.com/2018/12/20/pol…
Meanwhile, William Barr, Trump’s permanent pick to be Attorney General, reportedly wrote a memo to the Justice Department criticizing Mueller’s obstruction investigation before being chosen for the position. wsj.com/articles/trump…
UPDATE: Additional reporting suggests that DOJ officials did suggest Whitaker recuse from overseeing the Mueller probe, but that he chose not to do so after meetings with his own advisers. washingtonpost.com/world/national…

@realDonaldTrump obtained office ‘promising’ to #DrainTheSwamp, as if swamps are awful places. But within every swamp is a world of beautiful & mysterious life. Animals, insects, plants that all work together to maintain a healthy ecological system.
When you drain the beneficial life & healthy water from a swamp, you’re left with a stagnant pool of pondscum. That’s what @realDonaldTrump & Mitch McConnell @senatemajldr have done to America. They’ve removed the healthy checks & balances of Washington leaving only the scum.
When checks & balances are removed from politics, just like in a swamp, you’re left with rotten, fetid, stagnant scum. @realDonaldTrump, @senatemajldr, Paul Ryan, John Boehner @SenateGOP @HouseGOP ALL of them created the environment that allowed the rot to flourish

Thread: One character that c/d reemerge in the plot is Carter Page. Yes him. He’s seen as irrelevant, even though the FBI seeing him as a Russia agent!

But the biggest tell of his relevance: Trump hasn’t used Page as a scapegoat? Instead, he’s defended him. What gives? 1/
Page has convinced everyone he’s an idiot and irrelevant. He’s no doubt an idiot but there maybe a touch of method to his madness. Think of a really dumb Keyser Soze. 2/
Not only do we know the FBI thought Page was a Russian agent (thanks Nunes!) but he’s a key figure in the dossier. He went to Moscow in July and Budapest in Sept as a campaign advisor and coordinated those trips w/ the campaign. 3/

I will "probably not" ask potential nominees how they'll vote on Roe V Wade, because: "They were all saying 'don't do that...you shouldn't do that.'" But he adds that abortion might end up being a state decision at some point.

1/. Quick THREAD on #Russia, #Trump & #Brexit: 1 year ago US Intelligence agreed: “Moscow will apply lessons learned from its Putin-ordered campaign aimed at the US presidential election to future influence efforts worldwide, including vs US allies and their election processes’.
2/. Since then the sheer scale of Russian hacking, phishing, & funding has been laid bare: themoscowproject.org/dispatch/intel…
3/. Crucial is the role of @Facebook where Mark Zuckerberg’s former mentor has concluded: ‘bad actors were exploiting an unguarded platform; and Facebook’s algorithms may have had a decisive impact on Brexit by favoring negative messages’. washingtonmonthly.com/magazine/janua…
