Ivanka Trump says she knew “almost nothing” about Trump Tower Russia.

Why did she think she traveled to Moscow and sat in Putin’s chair? She must have been baffled by that turn of events. abcnews.go.com/Politics/ivank…
Ivanka Trump's claim that she knew "almost nothing" about Trump Tower Moscow is transparent BS. motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
Ivanka was going to have a spa named after her in the hotel, suggested an architect and says it's possible she literally sat in Putin's chair on a trip to Moscow that Felix Sater claims he arranged as part the Trump org's long pursuit of a Moscow deal. motherjones.com/politics/2019/…

Jackson in this hearing and the last one, was clearly irked by Downing's effort to cite his cross-examination of Gates' and the comments one juror made. Jackson scolded Downing, noting he incorrectly described a news report and that it's not evidence anyway.
Downing comes off really badly in these breach hearings. At the Feb. 4 hearing he said prosecutors' argument that Manafort lied about conversations about sanctions on Russia was "nonsense because no matter who gets elected...the sanctions were going to continue."
Downing couldn't be more wrong about about this. During his campaign, in response to a question from Maria Butina, of all people, Trump suggested he'd be willing to lift sanctions on Russia. motherjones.com/politics/2018/… … After he won, he tried to do so. nbcnews.com/politics/white…

Richard Burr Says There’s No Evidence of Collusion. How Would He Know? motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
The Senate Intelligence Committee never interviewed Manafort, Gates or Kilimnik about the contacts that represent the most compelling evidence to date of Trump-Russia coordination. Burr doesn’t have special insight here, despite chairmanship. motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
The Intelligence Committee agreed to limit the scope July 25, 2017 interview of Manafort to questions about the Trump Tower meeting. They never interviewed him about Kilimnik, the peace plan, Rusisan sanctions etc. And they never subpoenaed him to try to compel more corporation.

Judge Jackson rules that Manafort lied about his contacts with Kilimnik and other matters.
Jackson's ruling is a big deal. She lent the court's weight to a major Mueller contention: Manafort lied to hide his contacts while running Trump's campaign with a suspected Russian agent. motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
Manafort gave polling data to a suspected Russian proxy and at the same meeting discussed a plan that to lift US sanctions on Russia. He concealed that activity, which sounds like what most people would define as collusion, from prosecutors in hopes Trump will pardon him.

@pollsofpolitics @MiamiPapers @NancyPelosi @POTUS @realDonaldTrump This President is the most divisive president in the History of the republic. #TRUMP has publicly stated that he enjoys the chaos and conflict he causes in his administration, the Congress, and in the coutry. He stated that turnover, resignations, and turmoil gives him pleasure
@pollsofpolitics @MiamiPapers @NancyPelosi @POTUS @realDonaldTrump This proves his psychopathic mental illness and is dangerous and destructive to a democratic republic whose strength is in its UNITY and the RULE OF LAW that protects the least of us through equal treatment under the law. Our president routinely attacks BOTH, as AGENT OF RUSSIA!
@pollsofpolitics @MiamiPapers @NancyPelosi @POTUS @realDonaldTrump #POTUS has laundered money for #Russia for DECADES. It is the ONLY reason he was able to come back from multiple bankruptcys. He is on Russia's pocket, and they KNOW it. It is why he is fearful that he will be poisoned. He should have learned the moral of his #snake allegory.

#Putin's opening to this press conference suggests the takeover of southern #Syria by Asad/Iran is a model of U.S.-Russia cooperation that should be expanded, and flatters Trump that his summit with Kim [which Putin very much liked the look of] resolved the Korean Peninsula.
On #Ukraine, Putin hints broadly that the U.S. agrees with him that Kyiv's intransigence prevented Minsk's implementation, and then carefully lets it be known Trump brought up the election meddling, an assist to Trump politically, before of course dismissing it.
Trump frames engagement around U.S.-Russian co-operation in WW2, notes that unfortunate Cold War business, then says: "Our relationship has never been worse ... that changed as of about four hours ago." Says he is being politically brave to do what's right. Lambastes media + Dems

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.

The #transcript is *312 pages*. Things get JUICY on p62👉🏼Simpson describes the #SteeleDossier as ”broadly speaking, a kind of holistic examination of Donald Trump's business record...it evolved somewhat quickly into issues of his relationships to *organized crime figures*‼️🔥
Simpson says his work on the #SteeleDossier began in Sept/Oct 2015.🤔

Feinstein staffer Heather Sawyer asks WHO initially engaged Fusion to perform the opposition colonoscopy on @realDonaldTrump, says it was a REPUBLICAN‼️

Simpson/attorneys: GLOMAR🙄

Schiller testified under oath that a man in this room (but not Emin) offered to purchase prostitutes for Trump for the night this photo was taken (11/9/13). The only person who fits the description Schiller gave is this man, Artem Klyushin—whose pal runs Moscow's largest brothel.
2/ That pal, Kremlin agent Konstantin Rykov, confessed in November 2016 to being part of a plot to help elect Trump. Multiple witnesses have confirmed to the BBC that prostitutes *were* ordered for Trump's room that night.

And Schiller now says he wasn't there and doesn't know.
3/ Trump said he spoke with Putin 11/9/13 in a way both "direct and indirect"—consistent with pal Tom Arnold saying "speakerphone." Is that what we see in this photo? It's either *that* or a Trump Tower Moscow deal with Kremlin agents—3 of whom are in the room. One or the other.
