Trump campaign chair & deputy chair Paul Manafort & Rick Gates conspired with Russian GRU-linked Konstantin Kilimnik to pass internal polling data to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, whose private jet Kilimnik flew on to meet Manafort in AUG 2016.
#Maddow nyti.ms/2H0YLzj
In AUG 2016, after Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort's told him to share internal polling data with Putin ally Oleg Deripaska, Russian GRU-linked Kilimnik used Deripaska's jet to meet Manafort in NY – soon after he met with Deripaska in Moscow .
#Maddow
In SEP 2016, weeks after Kilimnik flew to NY on Oleg Deripaska's private jet to meet Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort, Deripaska secretly met with Russia's deputy prime minister Prikhodko & briefed him on how to "solve the issue with America."
#Maddow
SEP 2016: FBI agents made a surprise visit to the NY home of Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska and questioned him about whether his former business partner, Paul Manafort, had served as a link to the Kremlin during his time as Trump’s campaign chair.
#Maddow
ICYMI: In AUG 2016, following his ouster from Trump's campaign, Manafort sailed around Greece with Tom Barrack [and likely Kilimnik]. After the trip, Barrack hired Manafort & Kilimnik associate Rick Gates as Trump Inaugural Committee deputy chair.
#Maddow
Recall, in addition to Trump campaign chair & deputy chair Manafort & Gates, Russian GRU-linked Kilimnik also has ties to: BERNIE SANDERS' 2016 senior campaign strategist, Tad Devine and LINDSEY GRAHAM'S 2016 campaign manager, Christian Ferry.

Trump's former NSA accused him of treasonous conduct –– “aiding and abetting” Russia's attack on the 2020 election –– and the story was blown away by the never-ending firehose of craziness and disinformation generated by Trump and his crew.

Senior Pentagon leadership are quarantining after exposure to Vice Commandant of the US Coast Guard, Adm. Charles Ray, who tested COVID+ Monday:
-Gen. Mark Milley
-CoS of the USAF, Charles Brown
-Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Gilday
-Chief of Space Operations, Gen. Raymond.
Head of U.S. Cyber Command, Gen. Paul Nakasone, is also among those quarantined.

Last Sunday, General Milley and many of the Pentagon’s senior leadership attended a White House reception for “Gold Star” families of fallen troops. Trump and Melania were at that event.nytimes.com/live/2020/10/0…

Feds are seizing masks and other #COVID19 supplies from hospitals without a word.

“Federal officials sweep in without warning to expropriate our supplies... Are they stockpiling it? Distributing it? Will we get any of it back? We can’t get any answers.”latimes.com/politics/story…
“Trump and other White House officials, including Jared Kushner, claim that the federal government is using a 'data-driven approach' to procure [STEAL] medical supplies from hospitals and direct them where they are most needed [TO HELP TRUMP'S REELECTION].”
!! Chairs of two key House panels are demanding answers about Jared Kushner's role “in the acquisition, distribution of, or federally directed sale of any form of PPE or medical supplies and equipment to be used for the diagnosis or treatment of COVID-19.”nbcnews.com/politics/white…

It took 70 days from the initial notification on Jan 3 for Trump to treat coronavirus not as a hoax, but as a lethal force poised to kill thousands. But by then, critical time had been squandered and opportunities to mitigate the pandemic were lost.washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
Because of Trump and his admin's failures over the first 70 days of the coronavirus crisis, the US will likely go down as the country that was supposedly best prepared to fight a pandemic but ended up sustaining heavier casualties than any other nation.
For 70 days, Trump lied to the public about coronavirus.

By the time he proclaimed himself a wartime president and coronavirus the enemy, the US was on track to see more of its people die than in the wars of Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq combined.

BREAKING: Trump has fired inspector general for the intelligence community, Michael Atkinson, who opposed then-DNI Maguire’s decision to withhold the whistleblower complaint from Congress, which sparked the impeachment inquiry.
NEW: Trump has fired intelligence community inspector general Michael Atkinson, who was first to sound the alarm to Congress last September about an “urgent” complaint he’d received from an intelligence official re Trump’s communications with Ukraine.politico.com/news/2020/04/0…
Schiff: Trump’s dead of night decision to fire ICIG Michael Atkinson is another blatant attempt to gut the independence of the Intelligence Community and retaliate against those who dare to expose presidential wrongdoing.
