Every case Mueller's office has filed against a senior Trump associate - a list that now includes the indictment of Roger Stone - has revealed a new attempt to conceal contacts with Russia or intermediaries linked to the Kremlin.

usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
Almost two years into the Mueller investigation, nobody has been charged with plotting to help the Kremlin. But the charges Mueller has brought have produced an increasingly detailed picture of the Trump campaign's efforts to benefit from Russian hacking.
Smart story from @bykevinj and @ganjansen -> usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
Taken together, the special counsel's indictments offer a fascinating timeline. In July 2016, Trump's campaign told Stone to connect with WikiLeaks. Then Trump called on Russia to find Clinton's emails. That day, the Russians launched a new hack on Clinton's offices.

A federal district court in DC has unsealed parts of the docket in the mystery probably-Mueller grand jury case, and it's not super-informative.
The court has withheld the identities of the prosecutors assigned to the case, which would reveal whether or not it was related to the special counsel's investigation. That's pretty unusual.
The Mystery Company - owned by the Mystery Country - tried to prevent the government from attaching some of its property after the court imposed civil contempt sanctions for its refusal to comply with a grand jury subpoena. The judge denied this request.

Mueller's office says that some of the information it provided to lawyers for an indicted Russian troll farm "appear to have been altered and disseminated as part of a disinformation campaign aimed (apparently) at discrediting ongoing investigations into Russian interference."

11th Cir.: "Let this be a warning to federal prosecutors: You are (as the author's mother used to say) cruisin' for a bruisin'. Don't apologize - do better."
The court says DOJ isn't doing a great job proving that the people it charges with bank fraud are defrauding federally-insured banks, which is one of the elements of the crime and should be pretty easy to do.

The court says "good enough." But the panel split on that. Judge Tjoflat, dissenting, says there was no evidence that the bank was insured at the time of the fraud. "Although proving that fact should be simple and straightforward, the government consistently has trouble with it."

💥💥💥#Mueller: #Russians leaked files to "discredit"? #Concord & #Kavanaugh connection, A thread. 👇

1. Note the date: the confidential files with evidence were leaked in October 2018.
2. The Twitter account has been removed. It's old news. There is nothing discrediting to Mueller's investigation in the fact that the Russians stole the files. If anything, it confirms that, yes, Russians hack.

📌Trump's Foreign Policy Is Making RU Fascism Great Again

As he sabotages US strategic alliances in favor of pro-Kremlin autocrats, Trump is acting out the geopolitical fantasies of Alexander Dugin, rising RU fascist ideologue & guru to Trump's alt-R base

📌Erdogan & Trump agreed Friday to ‘more effective coordination’ between their countries’ operations in Syria.

Trump didn't bother to invite Joint Chiefs Chair Gen. Dunford to the Syria meeting & kept him in the dark until after the decision was made.

For comparison, this is over 10x more than what the FBI posted to their website.

Once again, it's becoming difficult to keep all the pieces of Trump/Russia straight in my head. Let's have a go at it.

[THREAD]
1/
 The key players in Trump/Russia were the ones who had the most direct dealings with the Russians. They are: Paul Manafort, Mike Flynn, Michael Cohen, Jared Kushner, Jeff Sessions, and Donald Trump pere et fils.
2/
Flynn had already pleaded guilty.
Manafort is indicted on a comical number of charges.
Junior could be busted for the Trump Tower meeting alone.
Sessions is safe for now, but only for now.
Kushner may be the guiltiest of the lot.
