In perhaps the strongest evidence that Russia is fighting the Mueller subpoena, the law firm that is representing the mystery company, Alston & Bird, was previously hired by the Russian government: prweek.com/article/127315…
So as recent as 2013, Alston & Bird was working for the Russian government. Not many law firms do that. nbcnews.com/storyline/ukra…
Make that 2014
As far as I can tell, Alston & Bird has registered FARA docs for 6 countries in the past 15 years - Kosovo, Montenegro, Cyprus, UAE, Russia, Taiwan. Since 2014 its only been Kosovo, Taiwan, and Russia.

We know Steele wrote that the Kremlin nixed Romney as Secretary of State

We know that Butina and Torshin discussed SOS contenders

We know Manafort was in contact with Kilimnik (Russian intel) and Deripaska

We now know that Manafort advised Trump transition on nominations
Circumstantial evidence very strongly points to Steele have credibility with his report.

Torshin/Butina -> Erickson -> Trump
Deripaska -> Manafort (via Kilimnik)-> Trump
Two possible routes for the Kremlin to pass info to the Trump transition regarding cabinet appointments.

The Mueller/Manafort filing is several hundred pages long. Heavily redacted.
Interactions with Kilimnik are mostly redacted

It would be a shame if this 2017 picture of @RudyGiuliani with his Ukrainian oligarch friend Pavel Fuchs went viral. Fuchs has just been unmasked by Al Jazeera/@willjordan as spending $200k to attend the Trump inauguration via a straw purchaser. This is illegal.
Thread on the inauguration spending:
Giuliani’s close friend Fuchs illegally purchased Trump inauguration tickets via an unidentified American middle man. Giuliani is Trump’s lawyer. It’s a disgusting conflict of interest.

Thread: @arimelber asked me last night whether #TrumpShutDown was at all related to the pressure brought to bear by the #MuellerProbe. Let’s consider this more closely. It’s a distraction & attempt to show strength at a time that #Trump has been weakened.
First, #MuellerProbe will continue full steam ahead. It is funded and not impacted by #TrumpShutDown. The shutdown isn’t wise or good for anyone. So a shutdown only serves to help Trump if it makes him look strong and like a “winner” to his base. Wrong-headed But Trumpian logic.
Things to remember as we wake up to a partial #GovernmentShutdown: You will still get Medicare, Medicaid, SSI services. Dept of State, DOJ, DOT r among the agencies that will have to shut some activities. Homeland security won’t stop border enforcement, courts will operate.

Seems like a thread on recent US practice w/r/t criminal prosecution of foreign sovereign entities might be of interest. @S_R_Anders @YesMomsCan @jedshug @ZoeTillman @lrozen @nycsouthpaw @kpolantz #Mueller #subpoena 1/19
For non-lawyers: to “quash” a subpoena, the recipient (defendant or witness) must show that compliance would be “unreasonable or oppressive.” A court can hold in contempt a witness “who, without adequate cause, disobeys a subpoena.” 2/19 law.cornell.edu/rules/frcrmp/r…
Yesterday’s panel opinion upholding the subpoena and the contempt order rejected the foreign state-owned company’s arguments that it was 1) immune from US jurisdiction and 2) precluded from complying by foreign law. 3/19 lawfare.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/staging/2018/3…

🔥WHOA🔥

THREAD: in summer 2016, Trump foreign policy adviser, Joseph Schmitz, pushed US government agencies to review materials from the dark web that he thought were Hillary Clinton's deleted emails‼️ 1/

amp.cnn.com/cnn/2018/04/06…
Schmitz is *yet another* Trump advisers who were mixed up in efforts to find Clinton’s emails.🙄

He approached the FBI & other USG agencies about material a client of his had “found” that Schmitz claimed were Clinton's missing 30,000 emails👉🏼actually FAKE‼️2/
🔥 Schmitz was one of the first to be named to Trump’s national security & foreign policy team.🤨

Schmitz attended Trump’s first foreign policy meeting in Mar’16 at Trump International Hotel in DC & sat next to Papadopoulos‼️

PapaD *also* tried to get HRC’s emails.🙄 3/
