Nastya Rybka, former escort of Oleg Deripaska who was jailed in Thai prison after revelations of her recordings exposing Trump campaign’s ties to Russia came to light, was arrested at a Moscow airport after being deported from Thailand.

"Natalia Rybka is brutally manhandled the moment she touched down in Moscow after being deported from Thailand. Just to remind you, she secretly taped Deripaska on his yacht w a senior Russian official talking about manipulating US politics." -@Billbrowder
Nastya Rybka also had a secret video tape of Oleg Deripaska's Jan 7, 2017 meeting with his US lobbyist, Adam Waldman, days before Waldman met with WikiLeaks' Julian Assange.

Trump DID know about the counterintelligence investigation because Pompeo – who had taken a special interest in CIA's counterintel unit – told him, after which, Trump directed senior aides to launch a smear campaign on McCabe, Baker, etc...
cc @JimArkedis
MAY 2017: The FBI, so concerned about Trump's behavior, launched a counterintelligence investigation into whether he was knowingly working on Russia's behalf against the US.
Jun 2017: Trump ordered senior aides to launch a smear campaign directed at against FBI officials who could provide damning testimony against him in the Mueller probe: McCabe, Baker, Rybicki, Strzok, Page – who have all now left the FBI.

SCCOP: Trump directed Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about the Moscow Tower Project. Trump knew Cohen was speaking to Kremlin officials about the deal and even told Cohen to plan a Russia trip during the campaign so Trump could meet with Putin.

SCOOP: Cohen told Mueller that after the election, Trump PERSONALLY instructed him to lie to Congress by claiming the Moscow Tower negotiations ended months earlier than they actually did to obscure Trump’s involvement.

2015, people. Alerts were sent by our ally intel services in 2015!! “GCHQ first became aware in late 2015 of suspicious “interactions” between figures connected to Trump & known or suspected Russian agents.” gu.com/p/69exm/stw
"The European countries that passed on electronic intelligence – known as sigint – included Germany, Estonia and Poland. Australia, a member of the “Five Eyes” spying alliance that also includes the US, UK, Canada and New Zealand, also relayed material, one source said."
"They [the European agencies] were saying: ‘There are contacts going on between people close to Mr Trump and people we believe are Russian intelligence agents. You should be wary of this.’

“The message was: ‘Watch out. There’s something not right here.’

1) My latest @EpochTimes Were Events Surrounding Gen. Flynn’s Moscow Visit Intentionally Misframed?

My apologies in advance. This is of necessity rather long
theepochtimes.com/were-events-su…
2) On Dec. 10, 2015, General Michael Flynn attended a dinner in Moscow honoring the 10th anniversary of Russian television network RT.

Flynn, who was seated next to Putin for the culminating dinner, was also interviewed on national security matters by a RT correspondent.
3) Flynn’s speaker bureau, Leading Authorities, was paid $45,000 for the event. Flynn received $33,000 of the total.

Flynn reportedly joined the Trump campaign in late Feb 2016 as an informal advisor on foreign policy matters—although his actual start date is not entirely clear.

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.

Trump’s revocation of security clearances could be construed as retaliation against a witness.

“It’s a federal crime (§1513) to retaliate against someone for providing truthful info to LE,”

“So he’s getting closer & closer to really dangerous ground here.”

THREAD: Months *before* Rick Gates pleaded guilty, Mueller told Gates he had *plenty of evidence* to NAIL Manafort.🤗

Instead, Mueller wanted Gates' help to investigate ties btwn Trump campaign & #Russia🇷🇺to make a case for “collusion”‼️1/

Here is a written version of the story👇🏼 2/

cnn.com/2018/03/29/pol…
Gates was indicted for MULTIPLE serious crimes, yet received a relatively lenient plea deal, as did Misha🇷🇺Flynn (at least thus far).🤨

Meaning: Gates & Flynn have LOTS of dirt against BIGGER fish‼️😎 3/
