BREAKING NEWS: More Proof of Collusion

Michael Cohen lied about Trump's involvement in a Trump Tower Moscow deal *during* the presidential campaign. All this was discussed in PROOF OF COLLUSION; I did a thread on Cohen telling these very lies months ago. nbcnews.com/politics/polit…
2/ Cohen told several *sets* of lies about clandestine Trump-Russia ties. First he said he and Trump and Sater stopped working on a secret deal with a top Russian oligarch in January '16 (right before the first votes); then it was June '16; now it's *early '17*. #ProofofCollusion
3/ In PROOF OF COLLUSION, I meticulously comb through Cohen's lies about his contact with Trump on the Trump-Rozov deal he and Trump hid from American voters in the run-up to the 2016 election so that Trump wouldn't lose millions of voters. Cohen's plea today was foreseeable.

(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…

Trump juxtaposing the shutdown and impeachment is no accident. True or not, it is likely he thinks that the longer the government isn't functioning properly, the longer it takes Democrat-led House committees to do the Trump-Russia investigative work the Republicans refused to do.
2/ Make no mistake: Trump's ambition is to forestall the impeachment question just long enough to have the Republican and Democratic primary processes start in earnest. At that point, he and his lawyers will say that *voters* should be allowed to decide Trump's fate—not Congress.
3/ Trump will only have to convince 34 Senate Republicans to vote against his conviction, so developing a rhetorical argument that says impeachment must not interfere with the right of voters to choose their leaders is incredibly important for Trump. And this argument could work.

I haven't written on the shutdown because in the years I spent negotiating on a daily basis as a defense lawyer, one thing I learned was you can't analyze a negotiation strategy effectively if your negotiating partner is irrational. Trump's shutdown can't be competently analyzed.
2/ In other words, the only analysis of the shutdown worth a damn is an analysis that says Trump's mental and emotional pathologies are dangerous and mean the shutdown could last a few more hours or many months. That's been my perspective from the moment the government shut down.
3/ Trump's shutdown will therefore end whenever his dangerous mental and emotional pathologies permit it to—an unknowable in the equation—or Democrats decide to cave to Trump's instability, which would be just as dangerous a precedent as that instability is in the first instance.

1/ A Gotham imbroglio

Felix Sater MEGATHREAD
2/ First of all, @felixsater, of you see anything off here, feel free to correct. This is all from open source documents, I do not have super secret sources handing me info below the table. Most of all, want to represent facts accurately and label speculation as such. Thanks
3/ But a full thread treatment is very much needed for Sater. He is intertwined at the very root of this scandal. He has/had personal contact with many main players on all sides of the story and remains mysterious

#KEYTHOUGHTS: Some things to note on Michael Cohen's guilty plea today for lying to Congress about his efforts to negotiate a Trump Tower Moscow deal w/ Russia during 2016.

1/ It's no coincidence that this comes TWO DAYS before Trump's next scheduled meeting w/ Putin at the G20.
2/ This new move by Mueller is perfectly-orchestrated. This isn't only about lying to Congress and cooperation...

It directly IMPLICATES Trump himself...and his children.

According to Cohen, he gave each of them regular briefings throughout the process.
3/ Cohen admits (with CORROBORATION thru documentary evidence seized by the FBI and Mueller) that Moscow Project negotiations lasted thru JUNE 2016.

That's months after the timeline Trump, Cohen, and those around them, have claimed.

💥Michael Cohen Pleads Guilty to Charge in Mueller Inquiry Related to Russia Business Deal. Cohen admitted to making false statements to Congress about his efforts to pursue a Trump Tower Moscow deal DURING the 2016 presidential campaign. And Trump knew. nyti.ms/2zvy5R8
"COHEN made the false statements to (1) minimize links between the Moscow Project and Individual 1 [TRUMP] and (2) give the false impression that the Moscow Project ended before “the Iowa caucus and…the very first primary,” in hopes of limiting the ongoing Russia investigations"
Trump was pursuing a sweet deal in Russia while running for POTUS on Russia’s platform—pro-Putin, anti-NATO/Ukraine. He betrayed America for personal gain, figuring he’d lose. Then Putin came thru w/ dirt—Wikileaks. Days after June Trump Tower meeting, Cohen ends Moscow deal.

#Maddow nyti.ms/2zvy5R8
Michael Cohen admitted that the Trump Tower Moscow project talks went on well into AUG 2016 [during the campaign] and he had discussions about it with INDIVIDUAL 1 [TRUMP] despite Trump's claims that the project ended before he became the nominee.
#Maddow
Michael Cohen's plea today backs up this MAY 17, 2018 reporting by @JasonLeopold and @a_cormier_ about how the Trump Tower Moscow deal talks were ongoing during the 2016 campaign and that Trump was planning a Russia trip once he became the nominee.
