OH LOOK ===> That Kilimnik guy again!

Sharing polling data with a known Russian spy sounds pretty...espionage-y, even for Paulie Walnuts.

theguardian.com/us-news/2019/j…
Moreover, we can drop "alleged" -- Kilimnik boasted for years to everybody about his GRU connections; and Putin himself has been admirably clear about the non-existence of "former Chekists."

"Days after Donald Trump rode down an escalator at Trump Tower and announced he’d run for president, a little-known consulting firm with links to Israeli intelligence started gaming out how a foreign government could meddle in the U.S. political process."

Oh.

“At the time we were discussing the subject of cyber interference in democratic processes, it felt like just another idle intellectual exercise. But retrospectively, it feels a bit too on-the-nose not to be disturbing.”
If Wikistrat and Zamel sound familiar....they should.

This piece got me epic trolling & worse from the usual Trumpist assholes, so let them enjoy my I TOLD YOU SO here.

Speaking of BS: Trumpers are engaging in a ton of whataboutism now. What about Hillary's Kremlin ties? What about GCI's secret $$$? They are dragging up everything now, no matter how ridiculous. Hence this fresh turd, which deserves a bit of unpacking....

First, the Newtster is a smart guy and the former House Speaker. He knows better; he knows how Congress works; he understands the rules; he knows what he's spouting is complete BS. There was no Feinstein "spy scandal" -- and Gingrich is well aware of that. Yet, he persists.../2
If you knew nothing about this case, you'd read Newt's screed and think: OMG! Why didn't the MSM cover the massive PRC intelligence penetration of Sen Feinstein's staff? How could this happen???

It's fair to point out that the MSM often low-balls negative stories about Dems. /3

BAD TAKE ALERT:

While I have praised @NRO for its even-handedness (and then some) regarding Trump, this anti-FBI screed from @RichLowry (FYI the NR EIC -- who, let me say, I usually enjoy reading) needs to be called out.

nationalreview.com/2019/01/fbi-tr…
How, I ask you, is the FBI "trampling our political order" by conducting a counterintelligence investigation?

Not a criminal investigation (you know, possible arrests), CI.

That's, ahem, the Bureau's job.

Is POTUS above scrutiny? That seems to be the point of this piece. /2
Says @RichLowry: "US presidents over the decades have made many foolhardy decisions that have undermined our security; never before have they been deemed a fit subject for an FBI investigation."

Yes, this is true; but it omits the key fact here.... /3

💣BOOM💣

The Feds have emails exchanged btwn #Russian🇷🇺lawyer/spy Natalya Veselnitskaya & the #Russian🇷🇺Prosecutor General’s (“Crown Prosecutor”) office.😎

Rob Goldstone offered HRC dirt from the SAME #Russian🇷🇺Prosecutor via Veselnitskaya.

@thespybrief
documentcloud.org/documents/5677…
This SAME #Russian🇷🇺lawyer was charged today with #ObstructionOfJustice by US prosecutors in its #MoneyLaundering case against #Prevezon

Veselnitskaya also helped recruit a Swiss DOUBLE AGENT overseeing Swiss #MoneyLaundering cases of #Russian🇷🇺mobsters.

Just *days* after Trump fired @PreetBharara (led SDNY who was prosecuting #Prevezon), Trump’s DOJ abruptly settled their ROCK-SOLID $230 million #MoneyLaundering case and gave #Prevezon a sweetheart ~$6 million settlement.🙄

Breaking: Christopher Steele has won a case in D.C. against three #Russian oligarchs who sued him over his dossier. Judge Epstein dismissed their defamation suit and ruled the #Trump dossier is protected by first amendment and public interest. My story: theguardian.com/us-news/2018/a…
Lawyer for Russian oligarchs says they will appeal and disagree with Epstein "on a number of points". Steele's attorney Christy Hull Eikhoff tells me the ruling is "thorough, well-reasoned and firmly supported in the law"
Hull Eikhoff: "We will continue to defend against baseless attacks on Chris [#Steele] and Orbis and hope that the result of this case will be a lesson to those who seek to intimidate Chris and his company." Asked if that includes President #Trump, she replied: "We mean everybody"
