Russian Agent Maria Butina’s Boyfriend Indicted for Fraud thedailybeast.com/paul-erickson-…
Paul Erickson is best known for his role in the Trump/Russia/NRA probe. He was arrested however for running a fraud and money-laundering scheme unimpeded for *22 years*.

Imagine what we would have avoided if white-collar crime were actually prosecuted when it happened.
On @gaslitnation we've discussed how the Mueller probe reveals not only the extent of entrenched criminality in US business and government, but the utter failure of officials to investigate and stop it

NYT former editor not only botched a ton of facts (smearing people in the process) and refused to tape her interviews but appears to be a plagiarist as well. Thread.
People should stop assuming an institution has credibility because of prestige. Prestige derives from a word meaning "illusion"; an illusion of competence and quality is what elite media peddles.

Trust in an outlet needs to be earned; NYT has shown its editors are untrustworthy.

At 52:00 on @gaslitnation, we discuss the Trump progeny: "Trump has no interest in protecting Don Jr. Trump hates him. He sees Don Jr as weak. He left him out of the White House. He abused his mother Ivana and allegedly abused Don Jr too." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/24511070
"If you look at Trump's brother, who was an alcoholic, Trump scorned him. He loathed him. If he sees weakness, he thinks 'This is a person of no use to me; this is a person who's disposable'. That's how he sees Don Jr. Don Jr should turn." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/24511070
"Ivanka has been a grifter maven since childhood. When her parents divorced, she worried about keeping the Trump brand name. All they do is create an illusion of this Trump brand. And now they're in a world of trouble." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/24511070

Trump’s Attorney General Nominee, William Barr, Held Immigrants in ‘HIV Prison Camp’ thedailybeast.com/trumps-attorne…
Trump has no sincere interest in helping people with HIV/AIDS. He already eliminated the HIV/AIDS advisory council that had existed since the 1980s and cut money and resources aimed at prevention politico.com/story/2018/01/…
When the homophobic and xenophobic Trump admin expresses a sudden interest in "people with HIV/AIDS", it is very likely because they plan to target the people and not the disease

#BREAKING >> Paul ERICKSON, Russian Agent Maria Butina’s Boyfriend & Republican/NRA Operative, INDICTED for Fraud & Money Laundering, by a federal grand jury in South Dakota today. New report from @woodruffbets @ErinBanco thedailybeast.com/paul-erickson-… #TrumpRussia
Paul #Erickson, already mixed up in Russia probe, is charged with 11 counts of wire fraud and money laundering. Butina's boyfriend faces a maximum penalty of up to 20 years in federal prison for each count in the indictment. rapidcityjournal.com/news/local/eri…
#Erickson indictment shows several payments to "M.B." presumably Maria Butina. One for $8000 on June 24, 2015—just a few weeks before the FreedomFest conference in Nevada at which Butina turned up & got Trump to say if he were president, sanctions on Russia would be gone. #Maddow

There's always more >> Accused spy Maria #Butina turned on her Russian charm to secure Russian jet fuel deal with David Keene, NRA president & prominent leader of the conservative movement, his lobbyist wife, & her boyfriend Erickson — The New York Times nytimes.com/2018/09/02/us/…
THREAD on sloppy NYT piece on #Butina. See @john_sipher who says she's not a professional spy but an 'access agent teeing up fools for Russia to compromise.' She develops access & provides targeting information to the professionals, so they know who's vulnerable, who to go after.
@john_sipher There are spies and there are spies. Russia has a dizzying array of intelligence agents, special services & proxies, formal professionals & informal agents like Maria #Butina. @KirkseniyaSF reviews some of the nuances in @KyivPost kyivpost.com/article/opinio… cc @SethAbramson @nytimes
