Some of the news in today's #TrumpRussia avalanche:
-Mueller investigation close to completion—Whitaker
-Cohen to testify to House Feb 8, w/ new legal team
-Manafort sentencing hearing delayed
-Trump doesn't rule out pardon for Roger Stone
-Barr discussed Mueller probe w/ Pence
Watch #Whitaker sweat up a storm announcing he’s been “fully briefed” on Mueller investigation & “thinks” it’s “close to being completed.” Seems very anxious to get his hands on it to “review.” And Wray? They look like my kids up to no good. #maddow #inners
It's alarming Whitaker's even commenting on the Mueller investigation/report. Is he pressing or hoping for no more indictments? The "review decisions" remark is very alarming. Is he saying someone's reviewing HIS decisions? Or that he's (already?) reviewing Mueller's decisions??

News that Don Jr's phone calls ahead of Trump Tower meeting weren't to his father doesn't change key damning facts: He had the meeting. He told Russians sent by the Kremlin to subvert our election—in Russia's interests—the campaign was game for that & more cnn.com/2019/01/31/pol…
Key damning facts about the Trump Tower meeting w/ Kremlin agents:
—campaign had meeting
—hid it
—lied about its subject (sanctions)
The June meeting told Russia loud & clear that Trump was their guy. Within days, the Kremlin launched its election attack. medium.com/@PaulaChertok/…
We didn't even know of Don Jr's calls when we first learned about the Trump Tower Meeting. I argued back in 2017 that the meeting was earth-shattering on its face. I also showed how Trump's & Russia's propaganda efforts aligned in framing it as insignificant—mere nothingburger🍔

NEW: Torshin's "tantalizing offer" to Butina's boyfriend Erickson, setting up NRA trip to Moscow: to meet Putin. Erickson said the trip could have “enormous diplomatic consequences.” (Nov 2015—just months before Russia's election attack went full throttle) thedailybeast.com/nra-heavyweigh…
>> NRA Backchannel to Russia: Butina's boyfriend Erickson emailed NRA pres Keene saying NRA trip to Moscow could help ease relations between Russia & the US "by creating a way for the Kremlin to connect with a future Republican president." PM Rogozin & even Lavrov met w/ them.
How many backchannels to Russia did Trump have/need?? Kushner, Jr/Agalarovs, Manafort, Prince, Cohen/Sater, Flynn, Stone, NRA… 🤯Republicans wanted a backchannel to our adversary, who invaded its neighbor, shot down civilian airliner MH17, annexed a chunk of Europe‼️#Maddow

NEW: Russians used discovery process—FORGING DOCUMENTS—to run a #disinformation campaign to discredit #Mueller & “ongoing investigations into Russian interference in the US political system.” Not too surprising since Russian #propaganda often uses fakery for f*ckery. #TrumpRussia
Key in the news of Russians abusing discovery process to discredit ongoing investigations: They claimed to have (hacked) ALL Mueller's evidence and found NO COLLUSION. Well, that sounds familiar. Putin's still aligned w/ and helping Trump. Against the US. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
More indictments coming? New Mueller court filing has also identified "uncharged individuals & entities" who are interfering w/ US govt functions. And Russians used fake/altered evidence from the probe to discredit the investigation. Trump does the same, people. @davidcicilline

Next Tweets: Pic of Torshin and Butina in Nashville at the 2015 @NRA Convention; pic of Torshin in Nashville in 2012 looking at voting machines with @MarshaBlackburn long term org chair Kline Preston; a couple recent threads we've written on these subjects. #TrumpRussia [Thread]
This pic of two close Putin allies - Butina and Torshin - at Nashville's @countrymusichof makes our blood run cold. (Pic first published by @CJCMichel.)

We can't see nametags on the other two women but our guess is other Russians in town for the convention.
Torshin in Nashville in 2012 with Kline Preston, @MarshaBlackburn's longtime org chair. (Shots from Torshin's own Twitter feed, which was still live last we checked tho Torshin himself seems to have... gone dark.)

Is Mueller coming for Roger Stone tomorrow? Who else? 🍿

Tin Pot Trump wants to strip security clearances from officials who despise him.👿

#TeamTrumpTreason is wrong about Carter Page, the dossier & that pesky FISA warrant

🕰Tick Tock🕰

Many GOPs have tacitly enabled or actively aided in efforts to pervert the basic functions of gov’t in service of preventing the full truth about RU sabotage of US democracy from becoming publicly known, all to shield Trump & themselves from accountability.

THREAD: In an early March meeting w/Mueller, Trump’s lawyers insisted Trump had no obligation to talk w/#TrumpRussia🇷🇺investigators.🙄

So Mueller laid down the hammer & told them he could #subpoena Trump to appear before a grand jury‼️😎 1/

washingtonpost.com/politics/muell…
John Dowd, then-Trump's lead lawyer whined to Mueller, "This isn’t some game. You are screwing with the work of the president of the United States.”🤨

Like what...GOLFING⁉️

As if Mueller would be threatened by such bunkum‼️🤣😂🤣 2/

#MuellerIsComing
#TrumpRussia
After the #subpoena showdown on March 5, Team🇺🇸Mueller agreed to give Trump info on subjects that Mueller wished to discuss. Jay Sekulow compiled a list of 49 Qs that Trump's lawyers believed he would be asked. These Qs were published yesterday.👇🏼 3/
