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."

The government says it cost about $13.6 million for President Trump to visit his Florida resort four times over about a month in early 2017. He's made many more trips since then.
And that's an incomplete total because some of the costs of presidential security are classified.
The @USGAO says the federal government has paid about $60,000 in expenses to President Trump's Mar-a-Lago club.

Aung San Suu Kyi won't free two @Reuters reporters; she told the U.S. that they had revealed state secrets.

The secret was that her government massacred civilians.

washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pac…
Here's the secret they exposed. It's among the best investigative journalism I've ever seen. reuters.com/investigates/s…
Myanmar is making these reporters pay an unconscionable price for revealing the truth. And as if this injustice weren't enough, the police have admitted, in court, that they were framed.

Sounds like we will soon get some additional info on the maybe-(probably)-Mueller mystery grand jury case. The D.C. Cir. has granted a request to make public a previously sealed filing from the Mystery Company.
Very, very little additional information. The court has confirmed the identities of the lawyers who represent Company A. They're with Alston & Bird.
The certification that the once-secret filing complies with the court's word count limits and as in the correct font is longer than the once-secret filing.

💥💥💥#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.

"...discovery materials in the defense’s [Internet Research Agency] possession appear to have been altered and disseminated as part of a disinformation campaign aimed at discrediting ongoing investigations into Russian interference in the US political system."

THREAD -->
Mueller told a federal judge that more than 1,000 confidential files compiled in his case against the Internet Research Agency had somehow found their way on to the internet and widely disseminated, in defiance of the judge’s order.

Russia’s social-media trolling op began stepping up its Twitter presence to new heights in late July 2017 -- more than 8 months after sowing discord and disinformation in the 2016 election. bloomberg.com/amp/news/artic…
This burst of activity－revealed in a new dataset of nearly 3m tweets－focused on pushed headlines & news stories originally from US-based, pro-Trump site, 'Truthfeed' which specializes in hyper-partisan, factually incorrect stories...aka Right-wing propaganda.
By 10/22/17, right before Twitter banned nearly all of the known accounts linked to the IRA's troll farm, Truthfeed content accounted for about 95% of the accounts’ English-language activity.

the Russian company indicted by Mueller cites Judge Kavanaugh by name nine times in its motion to dismiss, including his decision in Bluman narrowing the scope of the foreign national ban to exclude "issue advocacy."
in Bluman, Kavanaugh went out of his way to narrow the foreign national ban to apply only to "spending money in order to expressly advocate for or against the election of a candidate.”

That excludes much of Russia's spending--and Russia's lawyers picked up on it:
we sort of figured this would happen. In our @CampaignLegal and @Demos_Org factsheet on Kavanaugh's democracy record, campaignlegal.org/sites/default/… we described Kavanaugh's Bluman opinion accordingly:

I've talked before about Russian #disinformation, and how the goal is to exploit existing divisive issues to weaken the enemy. 1 #InformationWarfare #WednesdayWisdom #CambridgeAnalytica #Russie #Putin #deza
Bernie v. Hillary, Benghazi & the "email scandal" were perfect targets. There was already tension & division on those topics, so they were easy to exploit. 2
Russia also targeted #peopleofcolor (specifically black voters) to sow distrust of Hillary & the political process, which helped Trump's campaign. 3
