THREAD: It’s Official: Mueller Has Identified Collusion (1/9) themoscowproject.org/dispatch/its-o…
The draft plea agreement between Mueller and Jerome Corsi confirms that Mueller has identified collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia in 2016. Here it is, in three easy steps: (2/9) themoscowproject.org/dispatch/its-o…
Step One: Mueller has identified the Trump campaign’s pipeline to WikiLeaks. Roger Stone tasked Jerome Corsi with getting information from WikiLeaks, which he did through his intermediary Ted Malloch. (3/9) assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5302…
The emails between Stone and Corsi show they knew WikiLeaks had information on Podesta that they planned to release in October to damage Clinton’s campaign. (4/9) nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
Oh, and Mueller’s team says they have evidence Stone was in “regular contact” with Trump and “senior members” of his campaign—which suggests Stone was passing information directly to Trump and his inner circle. (5/9) assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5302…
Step Two: Mueller has identified that WikiLeaks got the hacked emails from Russia. The July indictment of 12 GRU agents outlined how they carried out the hacks, and planned their release through WikiLeaks, in exhausting detail. (6/9) justice.gov/file/1080281/d…
Step Three: Mueller has identified that the Trump campaign knew Russia was the source of the stolen emails. The indictment of George Papadopoulos confirmed the Trump had advance warning that Russia had stolen their opponents' emails. (7/9) justice.gov/file/1007346/d…
In short:
•Russia stole the emails and alerted the Trump campaign.
•Russia gave the emails to WikiLeaks.
•Corsi relayed inside info from WikiLeaks to Stone, who was in regular contact with Trump. (8/9) themoscowproject.org/dispatch/its-o…
In other words: Mueller has identified the conspiracy that facilitated collusion. (9/9) americanprogressaction.org/issues/democra…

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.

THREAD: The 10 Biggest Developments in the Russia Investigation In 2018 themoscowproject.org/dispatch/the-1…
With so much news breaking every day, it can be hard to remember how much we’ve learned in just the past year. We’ve put together a list of 10 of the biggest developments in the Russia investigation in 2018. themoscowproject.org/dispatch/the-1…
1. Mueller and the Justice Department revealed unprecedented details of how Russia attacked American democracy, indicting 26 Russian operatives behind the attacks, plus Maria Butina, who pleaded guilty to acting as a Russian agent. themoscowproject.org/dispatch/the-r…

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…

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/

Good @washingtonpost editorial about the serious concerns raised by Trump lying about financial leverage Russia had over him. But it also includes this bit of conventional wisdom that is just wrong: "The collusion question is still outstanding."
washingtonpost.com/opinions/trump…
We already know that, during the campaign, high-ranking Trump campaign officials met with Russian officials to discuss the Kremlin's support for Trump and how they could help. DJT Jr. has released the emails proving it. That's collusion.
themoscowproject.org/explainers/a-c…
Just this week, we learned that Mueller has separate evidence of collusion. The Trump team got advance info on WikiLeak's email release strategy, after Russia told them it had hacked emails. That's collusion.

Thread: This week has been a game-changer in the Russia investigation.

Before it was fairly reasonable to doubt where Mueller was headed and say maybe he won’t implicate Trump.

There’s almost no doubt anymore. This investigation will implicate Trump in conspiring w/ Russia 1/
First, w/ the Corsi draft plea we learned that Mueller has found collusion.

Stone was in “regular contact” w/ Trump and directed Corsi to get to WikiLeaks, which they knew was a Russian front. And Mueller clearly has evidence to prove they knew that. 2/
Second, the depths of the cover up effort became clear - the lies, the pardon dangles, the joint defense agreements w/ 32, the appt. of Whittaker. You don’t engage in a massive cover up if you’re innocent. Trump’s acting guilty, perhaps b/c he is. 3/

(THREAD) Three things: #Mueller has convened a grand jury in DC today; Cohen has shown up in DC; and there is a lot of talk about an imminent Roger Stone and/or Jerome Corsi indictment. 1/
While a Corsi indictment is imminent, and a Stone indictment at some point very likely, the fact that #MIchaelCohen is in the picture today indicates instead that he is likely in DC to appear as a witness against #DonJr, not Stone or Corsi. 2/
Cohen has never been in the news about Corsi or Stone, but there has been a lot of buzz recently about an imminent indictment of Don Jr. (Trump is reported to be depressed about this). 3/

The US Attorneys’ objection to the request by Cohen for a two-week delay in processing the materials captured in the raid is significant--b/c this isn’t just about taxi medallions. It’s about Trump-Russia collusion. #mueller #michaelcohen tinyurl.com/y7e8jpll
1/ The Mueller Team & the feds in NY and DC have a timeline, and they want to get moving on it. Mueller will not be interested in a proffer or plea agreement negotiations until he has seen the materials taken in the raid. (And lawyers for Cohen know that.) #mueller #michaelcohen
2/ The government is showing its hand here. It wants to get Cohen to flip SOON. That in itself is important, but it’s also important for getting Manafort to flip (who is resisting). #mueller #michaelcohen
