The second of today's sentencing memos, from Mueller's office, on Cohen's work on Trump Tower Moscow: documentcloud.org/documents/5453…
Mueller identifies why the Trump Tower Moscow project is so important: Because the negotiations took place right as Russia was stepping in to undermine the election to support Trump.
A key detail in the footnotes: Cohen and Trump discussed setting up a meeting with Putin in September 2015—and discussed contacting the Russian government with Trump before reaching out in January 2016.
What Mueller's getting from Cohen:
-Details on Trump's business in, and collusion with, Russia.
-Details on his contacts with the Trump White House
-Details of how he formulated his lies to Congress
The November 2015 conversations Mueller describes appear to be Cohen's conversation with the Russian weightlifter Dmitry Klokov, who offered to set up a meeting between Trump and Putin, as first reported here:

THREAD: Trump’s Long Pattern of Obstruction (1/12) themoscowproject.org/dispatch/trump…
The report that Trump personally directed Michael Cohen to lie to Congress is the clearest evidence yet that the president obstructed justice. (2/12) buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonl…
It’s not just us saying that. It’s also William Barr, Trump’s own nominee for Attorney General, who earlier this week confirmed that “a president persuading a person to commit perjury would be obstruction.” (3/12)

THREAD: Five Easy Examples of Collusion for Rudy Giuliani (1/12) themoscowproject.org/dispatch/five-…
In case you missed it, Rudy Giuliani basically admitted last night that there was collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. (2/12) washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/w…
That’s been obvious for a long time. Here are five major examples of collusion—all of which are pretty serious offenses, no matter how much Giuliani tries to move the goalposts: (3/12) themoscowproject.org/dispatch/five-…

According to the New York Times, both Paul Manafort and Rick Gates provided polling data—including some prepared privately for the campaign—to Konstantin Kilimnik, with instructions to pass it along to Oleg Deripaska.
nytimes.com/2019/01/08/us/…
UPDATE: The New York Times has issued a correction stating that Manafort asked Kilimnik to pass the information to the Ukrainian politician Serhiy Lyovochkin and oligrach Rinat Akhmetov, not Deripaska.
Both have played significant roles in the Russia scandal already: Akhmetov, a ruthless mining magnate with ties to organized crime, initially brought Manafort to Ukraine in the 2000s and funded his work for pro-Kremlin politicians there ... themoscowproject.org/explainers/eve…

#Trump said his Russian business efforts, including during the campaign were "Very legal" and "VERY COOL."

HAHAHAH....yep, I sure do agree with that. Very cool, indeed.

Of course, most of the media have no clue, though some of them do, b/c some have reported the truth.
Well, sommanab*tch! The link I saved from one of the media outlets that knew ...now seems to be gone. Of course I couldn't archive it because it was WaPo. They wouldn't let me archive it.
Well, here's another one, by Buzzfeed, no less. They KNEW that Trump worked WITH the FBI, yet they participated in the conspiracy against him to frame him as the guilty one.

💥#MichaelCohen ⚡️⚡️⚡️🥁 Thread on Michael #Cohen’s (aka Michael Hastings) ties with the USSR-born oligarchs, criminals, politicians. Missing/overlooked links plus Russian/Ukrainian sources. #CohenRaid #CohenFBIRaid #CohenRaids #MichaelCohenRaid
Note: A common misconception: Most of Cohen's USSR-born associates are Russian speakers of pro-Russian view. Emigrated in 70-80s when Ukraine was a part of the USSR. Referring to them as “Ukrainians” is misleading. Ukraine is under a hybrid war attack by Russia.
1. Cohen partnered with USSR-born “taxi kings” with a history of felony, fraud, tax evasion and some known for ties with the Kremlin circles.
