Manafort was convicted of eight felony counts in Virginia. Crossing border illegally = a misdemeanor. Seeking asylum = not a crime.
(Also, his children are in their 30s.)
(Also, not sure why I'm even bothering ...)

It's the story of family fleeing danger in their home country, crossing borders illegally on foot to eventually take refuge in the United States.
Loads of Americans watch and celebrate this story every year.
It happened again last night ... it's #TheSoundOfMusic.

BREAKING: The Michael Flynn Sentencing Memo has just been released. It's only 13 pages and much of it – the good stuff – has been redacted.
#Maddow #inners
Mueller's office re Flynn: "Given the defendant's SUBSTANTIAL ASSISTANCE ...a sentence at the low end of the guideline range—including a sentence that does not impose a term of incarceration—is appropriate and warranted."

💣🔥💥🍿🐾#SamPatten is a starter on this menu. A thread on #Trump #Putin #Collusion: from pop-singers in Taj Mahal to weapons in Syria, plus what Satan, black cats, soccer, Patriarchs & judo wrestling have in common. Tarantino, it is not. Oh, plus #CambridgeAnalytica. 👇
1. #SamPatten admitted failing to register in the U.S. as a foreign agent for his work lobbying on behalf of a Ukrainian political party. Breaking. 👇
2. "The nature of his cooperation isn’t clear." (Yes, but the connections are telling.👇 ) . Patten worked with Manafort and & on microtargeting operations with Cambridge Analytica.

On Feb 5, 2018, The Conservative Treehouse broke a story that Carter Page was an undercover employee for the FBI. theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/02/05/in-… At the time, I read the article and found the claim plausible but unproven. I am now going on record saying it was incorrect.
The basis of the claim was an excerpt from a DoJ Press Release regarding the conviction of Evgeny Buryakov, a Russian national, for a violation of FARA, in that he had failed to register as an agent of a foreign country.
In the article, Sundance highlighted a portion that stated that the UCE-1 mentioned in the court case was an “analyst from a New York-based energy company”, which is a fair description of Carter Page. Other articles cited also mentioned his work in energy, “proving” the case.

Glenn Simpson & his Fusion GPS team suddenly changed the narrative a few weeks ago, began using their media allies to desperately begin selling a new story that the #SteeleDossier was *NOT* used in any way shape or form for any FISA warrant/s.
We got the comical claim that the actual trigger for the FBI's investigation into Trump/Russia collusion was....Papadopolous having a drunk chat in a bar. They've been pushing that relentlessly for several weeks now.
Earlier, 1 of the Reps. that's read the memo made the statement it will absolutely destroy the new 'Papadopoulos narrative' that Fusion has been using it's media allies to pimp.

WHAT IS THE STEELE DOSSIER?

The Steele Dossier was a hastily cobbled together justification for two things:

1) to justify the spying on Trump's campaign team PRIOR to Mike Rogers shutting down NSA SIGINT database mining for Trump Team comms up to April, 2016.
2) to justify RESTARTING intelligence community intercepts of Trump campaign/transition team comms by proffering the dossier to the FISA Court by claiming Trump team members were foreign agents serving Russia.
We don't know exactly when FBI subcontractors began to be used by the DOJ/FBI Hillary/Obama/DNC nexus to mine the NSA SIGINT database for Trump campaign team comms & then to submit Sec. 702 unmasking requests to reveal the names of Trump team members in the intel incercepts.
