Trump denies working for Russia and slanders the same FBI officials against whom he ordered a smear campaign in Jun 2017 [just weeks after the FBI opened a counterintelligence investigation of Trump], calling them ‘known scoundrels’ & 'dirty cops.'
#Maddow wapo.st/2FqYfZN?tid=ss…
Jun 2017: Trump ordered senior aides to launch a smear campaign against FBI officials who could provide damning testimony against him in Mueller's probe: McCabe, Baker, Rybicki, Strzok, Page – who have all now left the FBI.
#Maddow
Aug 2017: CIA Director Pompeo has taken a special interest in the counterintelligence center, requiring the unit [closely tied to the Russia probe] to report directly to him.
Pompeo likely told Trump about FBI's counterintelligence inquiry of him.
#Maddow
Aug 2017: Pompeo’s interactions with the counterintelligence center [which works more closely with the FBI than any other CIA dept] have come under scrutiny. There's concern about what Pompeo might do if the CIA uncovers info damaging to Trump.

NEW: In a mostly-redacted filing, Mueller lays out proof that Paul Manafort lied to investigators while 'cooperating' – including that Rick Gates told FBI agents that Manafort was trying to use intermediaries to get people jobs in the Trump admin.

THREAD via @ZoeTillman #Maddow
Rick Gates stated to investigators that in Jan 2017 Manafort told Gates he was using intermediaries, "including [REDACTED]," to get people jobs in the Trump administration.

One of those intermediaries was JARED KUSHNER – per this Nov 30, 2016 email: "On it!"
@Delavegalaw @maddow
During the transition and after reporting that Manafort was under FBI scrutiny, Jared Kushner remained in contact with Manafort, replying to his emails about Trump admin appointee recommendations – communications Manafort lied about to the FBI.

In Aug 2017, on orders from the White House, Trump's Acting AG Whitaker, then-head of conservative group FACT, filed a complaint with the FEC alleging that @AlexandraChalup had violated federal election law with her investigation into Paul Manafort. Wow
@AndreaChalupa @murraywaas
I second that emotion, @jennycohn1.

NEW: Trump privately told senior officials he wants to withdraw from NATO altogether, a move that would accomplish all that Putin set out to do and be one of the most damaging things Trump could do to US interests.
by @julianbarnes @helenecooper #Maddow nyti.ms/2HaZZrK
“Even discussing the idea of leaving NATO — let alone doing so — would be the gift of the century for Putin and a geopolitical mistake of epic proportion [for Trump].” -Ret. Admiral Stavridis, former supreme allied commander of NATO
@Kris_Sacrebleu #Maddow
There are few things Putin desires more than the weakening of NATO, the military alliance among the US, Europe and Canada that has deterred Soviet and Russian aggression for 70 years. The US leaving NATO “would be the wildest success Putin could dream of.”

“HH: Do you, @SenTomCottom, believe that @realDonaldTrump is a Russian mole?
TC: (laughing) No, Hugh, I do not.
HH: (laughing)
TC: And I think some of these stories say more about the newspapers that are printing them, or the officials in the administration opposed to
the @POTUS who are leaking them. You know, Hugh, I’ll say, as I’ve told you before, the Senate Intelligence Committee has been examining in great detail what happened in the 2016 Election, and that inquiry continues.
But as many Democrats on that committee have said, there’s been no evidence that demonstrates any kind of collusion between the President or his campaign and the Russian government or their intelligence services.

Devin Nunes: Counterintelligence bombshell shows FBI leaders 'had no real evidence against the Trump team' washex.am/2HbPvsa
“This is yet more evidence that FBI leaders actually had no real evidence against the Trump team," Nunes said in a statement obtained by the Washington Examiner's Byron York.
"Instead, they were simply trying to undermine a president they didn't like and avenge Comey's firing.”

NEW: FBI Opened Counterintelligence Inquiry Into Whether Trump Was Secretly Working on Behalf of Russia Against the United States - The New York Times nytimes.com/2019/01/11/us/…
FBI was suspicious of candidate Trump’s ties to Russia but held off opening an investigation…in part b/c they were uncertain how to proceed w/ an inquiry of such sensitivity & magnitude. Then Trump’s conduct as POTUS—firing Comey, bragging to Russians in Oval abt it—changed that
Fmr FBI Counterintel Asst Dir @FrankFigliuzzi1: Investigation reported in @nytimes would have to have surpassed the evidentiary threshold from preliminary into full inquiry. The worst case scenario is investigating whether the POTUS is working for Russia against the US. #Maddow

1.) Tuesday @Judgenap said on @FoxNews with @marthamaccallum that #PaulManafort was investigated by the @FBI 8 years ago for these same crimes & a young Prosecutor by the name of #RodRosenstein exonerated him & said that they are threatening to call RR as their 1st witness!
2.) I was very curious about these claims because Judge Napolitano never went into detail on the story. So I went digging .........
@Techno_Fog had made a post on something that related to what I had also found and I started tying up loose ends. 👇🏼
3.) @hotairblog did a piece that not only implicated Gregory Craig & Clifford Sloan which were part of #Obama's WH Counsel but also stated the @FBI let @PaulManafort walk in 2014!!

1. Obama Admin Spied on Trump Campaign

"Code Name Crossfire Hurricane: The Secret Origins of the Trump Investigation" -- New York Times

A NY Times story today confirmed that Obama admin spied on Trump campaign affiliates in 2016.
2. "The F.B.I. obtained phone records and other documents using a secret type of subpoena. And at least one government informant met several times with Mr. Page and Mr. Papadopoulos."

A "government informant" is an euphemism for a spy.
3. Previously we had been fed the lie that FBI opened an investigation into Trump campaign based on testimony from an Australian diplomat. But NY Times story opens with the stunning admission that FBI opened an investigation BEFORE meeting with the Australian diplomat.
