Smart pieces by @ThePlumLineGS and @DavidAFrench

on all the times Trump promoted/covered for Putin in 2015-16 (eg Putin's poisoning dissident, killing journalists) while secretly trying to secure Moscow deal.

I have another big one: Ukraine provision in GOP platform <thread>...
Trump campaign intervened on GOP platform debate July 11-12 2016

1. Cohen plea doesn't say when exactly Moscow Tower deal ended.
2. Sater told @JasonLeopold @a_cormier_:

"Sater kept holding out hope—working his sources in Russia right THROUGH THE CONVENTION—until July 26, 2016"
JD Gordon said the Trump campaign's intervention on Ukraine provision of GOP platform was set in motion by Trump and Manafort, including a meeting with Trump in March 2016.

Read @NatashaBertrand's analysis here:

One small subpoena, one big effect. <thread>

A key that may unlock Trump's direct involvement in Russian interference is a phone call between Don Jr and mystery blocked number in setting up Trump Tower meeting.

Now Dems hold subpoena power.

Recall this:
thehill.com/policy/nationa…
Analysis by @AndyMcCanse is a must read on how the House's new Democratic majority can now pursue different threads in Russia investigation.

(analysis includes subpoena for the phone records, larger items like Russia money laundering, and more)

justsecurity.org/61409/russia-i…
On alleged Trump-Russian money laundering links—now likely to take on a new focus in House investigations—it's a good time to (re)read @craigunger's recent book:

"House of Trump, House of Putin: The Untold Story of Donald Trump and the Russian Mafia"

Big revelation in front page NYT story on U.S. support for Saudi #YemenWar

On left: General Votel says to @SenWarren Pentagon unable to tell whether U.S. fuel/bombs were used in Saudi strikes that killed civilians (March 13, 2018)

On right: NYT investigation shows opposite.
Here's NYT must read on US support for Saudi Yemen War👇

Insightful quotes by @LarryLewis_ (State Dept point person for Saudi coalition civilian casualties 2015-17) @Malinowski (former senior US official and new member of Congress)

I was also interviewed
nytimes.com/2018/12/25/wor…
“We concluded that they [the Saudis] were just not willing to listen." “They were given specific coordinates of targets that should not be struck and they continued to strike them. That struck me as a willful disregard of advice they were getting”

#Flynn’s Work as Turkey’s Agent While a Transition Official: Judge Sullivan Was at Least Half Right

justsecurity.org/61952/flynns-w…
My analysis of Flynn’s Turkey-related activities during the presidential transition is based on great reporting by @JamesVGrimaldi @DionNissenbaum @mideastmargaret @shaneharris @aviswanatha @carolelee @JuliaEAinsley @VeraMBergen
I recommend also reading @emptywheel’s analysis making significant points about Flynn’s registering as an agent of Turkey only in March 2017, still lying on those forms, and conspiracy in which he participated with Turkey agents lasting into those months.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
