And I just had to look:
Two new sealed cases just filed in DC.
18-cr-364
18-cr-365
If I've been right about Maria Butina, things about to get real for @HouseGOP @SenateGOP & @GOP fundraising machine including @NRA and I hope the #kochbrothers too.
Cohen is helping Mueller.
Cohen was RNC deputy finance chair.
Butina infiltrated the NRA.
Kochs fund RNA & NRA.
RNC not RNA that is Ribonucleic acid.

1. Why does @msnbc @TheRevAl have non experts like @michelleinbklyn opining about a President's power? What other area of expertise is subject of unqualified folks giving opinions? How about non MD guest discuss brain surgery or how to stick a screwdriver in your fuse box?
2. Here's Yale Law School prof on @realDonaldTrump lacking power to declare a national emergency to build a wall. If you don't read the @nytimes should you actually be on NYC news set? No, Trump Cannot Declare an ‘Emergency’ to Build His Wall nyti.ms/2RzudZw @maddow
3. Every time you put these false arguments on as fact you are engaged in propaganda for someone who very likely is a Kremlin agent. Do you jobs. Report facts and use only experts to give opinions. Michelle is great. I enjoy her. But she is not a Constitutional law professor.

1. Want to stop #MAGA #BuildTheWall?

@SpeakerPelosi should make funding limited to only funding costs of eminent domain actions on US border. Suits take years & will turn NM, CA, Texas & Arizona against @HouseGOP @SenateGOP @SenSchumer @GOPLeader @senatemajldr.
2. Then put in a claw back trigger. The money will just sit there until we impeach & remove @realDonaldTrump (soon) or at the outside he is out on Jan 20, 2021 for sure because he lost Texas and seat held by @JohnCornyn (who blocks me) due to eminent domain issue.
3. This plan blocks any political bump @realDonaldTrump hopes to get from his steel wall issue and puts the money in what is essentially an escrow pending the end of the Trump Tyranny. @TheDemocrats

1. From September 2018: Where is bin Laden's partner in crime, Ayman al-Zawahiri? @CNN cnn.it/2QcrpxX
2. There are more Al-Qaeda now than ever before. Estimate in Syria alone is as many as 20,000. From March 2018. “The resurgence of Al-Qaeda” goo.gl/BjJmxR, via @LowyInstitute
3.Turkey is allied with Al-Qaeda. That's a fact. If we are at war with Al-Qaeda by virtue of 2001AUMF aren't we at war with Turkey too? What's the plan for dealing with the 20,000 Syrian Al-Qaeda that US economy is supporting by continuing trade with Turkey?

There's always more >> Accused spy Maria #Butina turned on her Russian charm to secure Russian jet fuel deal with David Keene, NRA president & prominent leader of the conservative movement, his lobbyist wife, & her boyfriend Erickson — The New York Times nytimes.com/2018/09/02/us/…
THREAD on sloppy NYT piece on #Butina. See @john_sipher who says she's not a professional spy but an 'access agent teeing up fools for Russia to compromise.' She develops access & provides targeting information to the professionals, so they know who's vulnerable, who to go after.
@john_sipher There are spies and there are spies. Russia has a dizzying array of intelligence agents, special services & proxies, formal professionals & informal agents like Maria #Butina. @KirkseniyaSF reviews some of the nuances in @KyivPost kyivpost.com/article/opinio… cc @SethAbramson @nytimes

So Maria #Butina also hit up JD Gordon, Trump campaign natsec adviser who notably changed GOP platform on Ukraine to pro-Russia position. (Erickson sounds like her handler and pimp in this WaPo story about her final weeks of 2016 campaign) washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
JD Gordon once said Trump campaign was too disorganized to collude with Russians. Yet he fell right into Butina's honey pot. As I've said before, disorganized and stupid coupled w/ desperation is precisely what made team Trump easy prey for Russian spies.
A simple google search would make you wonder about #Butina. Gun rights are an absurdity in Russia, where more basic rights are lacking. She hangs with Torshin, a Kremlin banker w/ mob ties. But instead of calling FBI, Trump aide Gordon invites her to drinks & a Styx concert (yup)

What a Russian disinformation campaign looks like: gaslighting, lies, whataboutism and the requisite FU trolling—to deny, distract, dismay. #Butina is literally now the face of Kremlin MFA. Complete w/ hashtag #FreeMariaButina—while Russia jails political prisoners¡!#FreeSentsov
btw This crazy "#FreeMariaButina" disinformation campaign advanced directly from the Russian Foreign Ministry kinda proves US was right to argue Russian diplomats might scoop her up, making her a flight risk. Kudos to prosecutors & judge for the right call rferl.org/a/guns-sex-and…
Maria Butina gets around. Before her gig infiltrating NRA & Republicans, she pushed Russian propaganda in E Ukraine to promote Russia's invasion. At 2014 Donbas rally she trashed new Kyiv govt & said ppl should support "separatists" enigma.ua/articles/krasn…

Putin’s Attack on the U.S. Is Our Pearl Harbor

Make no mistake: Hacking the 2016 election was an act of war. It’s time we responded accordingly.

Former CIA Dir John Brennan called Trump’s performance in Helinski "nothing short of treasonous."
💣OurPearlHarbor2💣

45 sold out his country to RU, then proudly affirmed it, live on camera.  

A former intel agency chief just asked, "If the RUs didn't write 45’s talking points, how could you tell?"

Trump called the US inv’n of the interference “a disaster for our country.”
💣OurPearlHarbor2💣3

Comey: This was the day an US POTUS stood on foreign soil next to a murderous lying thug and refused to back his own country. Patriots need to stand up and reject the behavior of this president.

Trump sides with Putin & GRU over US interests, our CIA & DOJ

My folder of all filings in 5 Manafort, Gates & Papadopoulos cases:
drive.google.com/drive/folders/… Will keep updated. Feel free to share & hotlink.
For instance, here's Papadopoulos' (still sealed) arrest warrant in E.D. Va.: drive.google.com/file/d/0BzmetJ… (filed w/out seal in D.D.C. 17-cr-182)
Also, these records show that Papadopoulos was arrested July 27 — not 3 weeks ago. Was sealed to let him "serve as a proactive cooperator".
