WP (below): The FIRST KNOWN Stone revelation to a US person that WikiLeaks had stolen emails was SPRING 2016.

MUELLER: Stone revealed to a US person WikiLeaks had stolen emails IN OR AROUND JUNE AND JULY 2016.

Do we KNOW these are the same conversations?
washingtonpost.com/politics/roger…
2/ Mueller's "in or around June and July 2016" certainly COULD include "spring" dates, but nothing in the Mueller indictment confirms for us that these two events are the same event. The hack occurred on March 21, 2016; Manafort (per THE GUARDIAN) visited Assange in "March 2016."
3/ I guess what I'm asking is, how we do know Manafort didn't learn from Assange that the emails had been stolen when/if he met him in March 2016, immediately tell his old business partner Stone, and then Stone told someone (WP) in "spring 2016"...perhaps long *before* June/July?
4/ In other words, if Stone was trying to get Manafort hired by Trump in March 2016; and if Manafort met Assange in March 2016; and if the hack occurred in March 2016; how do we know Trump didn't hire Manafort precisely *because* he had a lead on "Hillary's emails" via WikiLeaks?
5/ I'm not saying this did or didn't happen; I just want to confirm we have no evidence yet on whether this is/isn't what happened. Because if it did happen, it would certainly fit with what we know about the Stone/Manafort relationship and the strange story of Manafort's hiring.

(THREAD) To his credit, @AlanDersh likes a spirited debate as much as I do. So here is "Round 2" of our debate on whether Robert Mueller is the most professional, admirable, and successful federal prosecutor of this century thus far—which he is. I hope you'll read on and retweet.
1/ Here, below, is a link to my response to Alan Dershowitz's new—in some cases {*ahem*} quite *disappointingly* "new"—claims. Click the link below to open up a thread with my responses to him. (In a postscript, I'll provide a link to Dershowitz's thread.)
PS/ Here (below) is Alan's thread, which was in response to my first thread addressing him.

In response to my thread disassembling his claim that "Mueller crimes fit into 3 categories: process crimes that occurred after he was appointed; financial crimes unrelated to the Russia investigation; and crimes by non-Americans," @AlanDersh has changed his argument. Do I reply?
2/ For instance, his claim that Bob Mueller's authorizing document indicates that he should acknowledge "core," "secondary," and "not directly related" categories of crimes is *false*. In fact, Mueller's authorization implicitly demands the *opposite*: that all crimes be pursued.
3/ @AlanDersh also falsely says that Mueller's only purpose in conclusively establishing Manafort's and Gates' motives to collude by showing their financial status when they decided to work for Trump for "free" was in fact to "pressure them to provide information against Trump."

I've no problem with people calling for Northam to resign. I'm 100% fine with it. But if you're doing so and *haven't* publicly called for Trump to resign at least *30 times*, including after he called neo-Nazis "fine people" in *2017*, I have *strong* feelings about your values.
2/ This applies, as Gillibrand said, to both "friends and foes." Virginia Republican Party, *fuck you*. And any Democrat who let Trump be racist, anti-Semitic, and misogynistic as hell and *didn't* call for him to resign because you didn't want to seem "partisan," screw you, too.
3/ To put a finer point on it: we already know history will damn this era's GOP for being hypocrites who put party over country or basic decency. But all *Democrats* who call on Northam to resign—which is fine—must *also* be asked if they're currently demanding that Trump resign.

💥💥💥#Mueller: #Russians leaked files to "discredit"? #Concord & #Kavanaugh connection, A thread. 👇
theguardian.com/us-news/2019/j…
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.

#Mueller is not always so quick w the #jackboots. No, depending on his master's wishes, he will slow-walk, cover-up and deport. My chron begins when he (& whatddya know, AG William Barr) consigned BCCI scandal to darkness in 1991.dianawest.net/Home/tabid/36/….
In 2001, #Mueller "denied or downplayed the significance of warnings that had poured in yet were all ignored or mishandled during the spring and summer of 2001." More shushing up. #TheSwampIsHisBoss
Also in 2001, #Mueller was fine with sending all those Saudis home ASAP -- so compromising, dontcha know. We would see this again in 2010 when he was fine with deporting a dozen, deep-penetration, Russian "illegal" SVR agents getting too close to "Reset" Hillary & Dems!

This is a lengthy thread proving the connections between Wikileaks and the Trump campaign. Putting together all the pieces in a timeline allows one to see the clear collusion between Assanged/Wikileaks, Russia and the Trump Campaign. This info must get out there! (THREAD) (1)
June 2016 - Cambridge Analytica CEO emails WikiLeaks
Cambridge Analytica, a data analytics firm, started working for Trump over the summer of 2016. Some members of Cambridge Analytica
staff were incorporated in the Trump campaign's data operation team. (2)
Alexander Nix, the chief executive of data firm Cambridge Analytica,
emailed WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange seeking access to emails from Clinton's private server so he could turn them into a searchable
database for the campaign or a pro-Trump political action committee. (3)
