So @CNN has Erik Prince on and doesn't ask him ONE question about trying to enter into a criminal conspiracy to swing the election with Don Jr, Nader, and Joel Zamel in August 2016?
To my knowledge, Prince hasn't been asked on-the-record about this secret meeting ONCE since news broke about it in March 2018. Corporate media is failing miserably.
Here's some questions:

-Mr. Prince, do you know why Mr. Nader paid Mr. Zamel of Psy Group $2,000,000 after the election?
-Mr. Prince, how did the August 2016 meeting come to pass? What was Don Jr's involvement?
-Mr. Prince, why didn't you mention this meeting in your testimony?

I can’t stop thinking about this. Trump, who clearly isn’t well versed in foreign policy, appears to know the intricacies of the USSR’s invasion of Afghanistan as told by Russian propaganda. It’s unbelievable.
Occam’s razor in this situation is that someone is feeding Trump Russian propaganda, right?
If we follow Occam’s razor here then we have a President who purposefully pushes the propaganda of an adversarial country ahead of our country’s long-held beliefs. That’s horrifying.

The Senate Intel Committee wants to interview Simona Mangiante, and has sent a formal letter requesting her testimony, per 2 family members familiar with the situation.
Investigators are interested in Mangiante-Papadopoulos not only because of her husband but because of her various activities in 2016, 2 officials told me.
Mangiante worked for Joseph Mifsud in 2016 and although she has alleged that she was not paid, investigators are interested in how she afforded her lavish lifestyle.

Manafort flipped. This is the "statement of the offenses" in which Manafort confesses to doing the crimes...

assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4883…
This first count #Manafort admits to is violation of 18 USC § 371, "Conspiracy Against the United States."

What does that mean? He conspired to commit a crime against the US or to defraud the US:
A conspiracy, definitionally, requires more than one conspirator. Who did Manafort conspire with? The first paragraph dealing with Count 1 names Richard Gates and Konstantin Kilimnik "and others"

SAM PATTEN CHARGES ARE IMPORTANT: They relate to his work with longtime MANAFORT deputy KONSTANTIN KILIMNIK ("foreigner A" in charging doc) on behalf of a pro-Russian Ukrainian party for which Manafort also worked. Shows that MUELLER's work is bearing fruit beyond core of probe.
The document charging SAM PATTEN with violating FARA doesn't name KONSTANTIN KILIMNIK, but indicates that Patten & "Foreigner A," a Russian, formed a US co. to do work starting in 2015.
And DC incorporation papers show that the pair formed Begemot Ventures International in 2015.
IF SAM PATTEN FLIPS, IT COULD BE HUGE: He worked closely with:
—KONSTANTIN KILIMNIK, the Russian-intel linked operative who was MANAFORT's No. 2.
—RINAT AKHMETSHIN: the Russian-American lobbyist who attended the TRUMP TOWER meeting.
—VARIOUS OLIGARCHS who funded Manafort.

1. Trump's denial that he knew about the Trump Tower meeting must be put in the context of what his campaign has said about their interactions with Russia during the 2016 campaign and REALITY.

Let's review.
2. In November 2016, it was the official position of the Trump campaign that there were NO CONTACT whatsoever between Trump campaign officials and Russians

"There was no communication between the campaign and any foreign entity during the campaign" -- Hope Hicks, 11/11/16
3. Since then we've found out about the following:

In April 2016, Paul Manafort met with Konstantin Kilimnik, a Russian-Ukrainian political operative with past ties to Russian intelligence

On April 27, 2016 Trump met with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak

BREAKING: Mueller says ex-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort has attempted to tamper with a potential witness.

Lock. Him. Up.
#Maddow
Mueller: "...probable cause to believe that Manafort has attempted to tamper with potential witness [by calling & texting them to influence their testimony] while on pretrial release and, accordingly, has violated the conditions of his release."
#Maddow
!! Manafort & Person A [Konstantin Kilimnik] repeatedly contacted Persons D1 & D2 in an effort to secure materially false testimony re their Ukraine activities, which D1 & D2 both reported to the govt as an effort by Manafort to “suborn perjury.”

THREAD: the FBI warned Hope Hicks earlier this year about repeated attempts by #Russian🇷🇺operatives to make contact with her during the presidential transition‼️1/

nytimes.com/2017/12/08/us/…
After Trump took office, FBI CI agents met w/Hicks in the Situation Room at least twice, gave her the names of the #Russians who had contacted her, and said that they were not who they claimed to be.🙄 2/
The FBI was concerned that the emails to Hicks was part of a #Russian🇷🇺intelligence op, and urged Ms. Hicks to be cautious.🤨 3/
