1. Some observations on Ukraine. I have been watching the reports of Russian build up and threats of invasion but based on my past observations including the steady Russian ship traffic in Azov I considered it the usual Russian Christmas holiday murder of Ukrainians.
2. But @realDonaldTrump's recent capitulation to @RT_Erdogan and Turkey's ISIS allies may have given @KremlinRussia_E a belief that it can also threaten an attack like Erdogan did, and Trump would cave, like he did in Syria. A coward lets off an odor a predator can smell.
3 So today I was engaged by a very high end Russian troll who seemed to have a set script. At first I could not identify the strategy but think I do now. The Russians need American accounts to amplify an imminent Russian attack in Ukraine. Trump and the Kremlin #MAGA botnet
4. will amplify these calls of alarm and create the basis for Trump to once again cave to a phone call. The US must impeach and convict @realDonaldTrump of treason. He has become the willing agent of our enemies. Every US military force member is at risk if Trump remains in power
5. But to remove him under our Constitution the Senate must play its role. I have identified starting in July 2016 that GOP was likely paid by the Kremlin during the campaign. A few GOP have come clean but the large majority have not. Frozen by their own betrayal they jeopardize
6. our Republic under the delusion that they can save their own hides. Trump knows Mueller is close. But the members of Congress who conspired with Russia think they got away with it. If our forces in harm's way are to be protected, these complicit members of the @SenateGOP and
7. @HouseGOP must be charged. But the effect of their arrest would be to put in doubt the legitimacy of the impeachment. So what can Mueller do? He can focus instead on the Congressional enablers like the #KochBrothers.
Charge them with conspiracy in state and federal cases.
Charge them with conspiracy in state and federal cases.
8. Let @SenateGOP see their benefactors in shackles with assets under forfeit knowing they can buy a deal by giving GOP up. Some in Congress may grow a spine but in any event Koch complicity in the Russian money distribution scheme will likely spell the effective end of the GOP.
