💣BOOM💣

@GOP operative Paul Erickson—boyfriend of convicted #Russian🇷🇺spy Maria Butina — INDICTED on 11 federal counts, including wire #fraud and money laundering.

Butina cooperated in the investigation AGAINST Erickson, who PAID her college tuition.🤣

google.com/amp/s/rapidcit…
Erickson helped arrange a secret backchannel between #Russia🇷🇺and **key @GOP leaders**, including @realDonaldTrump’s campaign.🔥

How many people in the #GOP are FREAKING OUT, now that Erickson is in the barrel⁉️

🔥WHOA🔥

@SpicyFiles has been ALL OVER the Erickson-#Russian🇷🇺honeypot saga.

According to court documents, Erickson’s case involves MULTIPLE defendants, most likely #NRA officials, who traveled to #Russia🇷🇺on a #treason junket.

Read Spicy’s THREAD👉🏼
Former #NRA president David Keene had better call his lawyer. Keene boasted that he’d established a direct line of communication between the @GOP (not just the NRA) and #Russia🇷🇺.

And the Feds have the receipts.😎

🔥Sergei Millian–the Belarusian former partner of @realDonaldTrump and "Source D/E" in the #SteeleDossier–offered George Papadopoulos a lucrative "job," but only if PapaD got a WH job.🤨

@RepAdamSchiff says interviewing Millian is "of deep interest."😎

washingtonpost.com/politics/serge…
Millian was the source for #Steele's allegation of a "well developed conspiracy btwn Trump and #Russian🇷🇺leadership," overseen by MANAFORT, and said Trump had relationships w/#Russian🇷🇺officials who were giving Trump damaging info on HRC👉🏼"very helpful."

Millian also was #Steele's source for the salacious allegations that #Russia🇷🇺had incriminating sexual kompromat on Trump (the "pee-pee" tape).

🔥Veselnitskaya’s seat behind @McFaul was reserved by a @GOP consultant w/close ties to the Trump campaign. Lanny Wiles (his wife chaired Trump’s campaign in FL) reserved the seat at the request of Rinat Akhmetshin w/whom he was working on SANCTIONS.🤨

washingtonpost.com/world/russian-…
“Akhmetshin continued receiving checks and wires from Wiles Consulting, a Florida-based company controlled by Lanny Wiles, a longtime Republican operator. Those payments, which began in January 2016, extended to April 2017, and totaled $72,500.”

buzzfeednews.com/article/emmalo…
Another “weird coincidence.” A @GOP operative (Wiles, whose wife CHAIRED Trump’s campaign in FL) saved a seat for the #Russian🇷🇺lawyer/SPY (Veselnitskaya) at a Congressional hearing on #sanctions, and Wiles PAID “former” #Russian spy Akhmetshin $72,500 in 2016-7.🙄

Fact: Immigrants commit LESS crime than native-born Americans.

Other than Native Americans, we are ALL immigrants. Immigrants help make America great!🇺🇸💙

#SOTU #ImmigrationReform
From this CATO Institute report (not a liberal group): “As a % of their respective populations, there were 56% fewer criminal convictions of illegal immigrants than of native-born Americans...The criminal conviction rate for legal immigrants was ~85% below the native-born rate."

#kleptocracy is a name we need to use more. Let's call the Trump admin what it is. Trump has proven NAMING someone or something has a lot of power. Witness Sen. Elizabeth Warren stumbling early in her race because Trump named her *Pocahontas.*

@TrickFreee @WillBenton1
Witness the power of the names, "Fake News." "Crooked Hillary," etc. You can't deny the power of *naming* our foe or the actions of our foe. #Kleptocracy isn't used enough-it isn't even a recognized hash tag when you type it into a tweet. Let's get it trending. #IndictTrump
#Kleptocracy Paul Erickson, a Republican political operative & boyfriend of accused Russian spy Maria Butina, was indicted in the federal court in SD on 11 counts of wire fraud and money laundering. #Erickson cbsn.ws/2Sgaf7p

#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

Rapid City Journal reporting.

Attorney Robert Driscoll represents the girlfriend: Kremlin & NRA operative, Maria Butina. Driscoll thinks this music video from a Moscow sound studio is proof that Butina had a legit relationship w indicted Republican operative, Erickson

🎼🎶🎙💂🏽‍♀️👴🇷🇺🖤
The Kremlin gets around in GOP circles.

Now jailed, Maria Butina, a Russian spy speaking to a South Dakota Teenage Republican Camp in the Black Hills in 2015.

SCOOP by @woodruffbets @ErinBanco: The FBI in SEP sent a target letter to accused Russian spy Maria Butina's boyfriend, Paul Erickson, who lobbied [successfully] to have KT McFarland placed in the Trump admin as advisor to Trump's NSA, Mike Flynn.
#Maddow thebea.st/2QF8tLm
If charged under Section 951 as DOJ is considering, Paul Erickson, GOP operative & co conspirator of accused Russian spy Maria Butina, could be the first American embroiled in Mueller's probe to face an espionage charge.
by @woodruffbets @ErinBanco #Maddow
Erickson, facing possible espionage charges, pushed for KT McFarland to be named advisor to FLYNN, Trump's NSA.

KT's DEC 2016 email: "Sanctions could make it harder for Trump to ease tensions w/ Russia, which has just thrown the election to him."
