A new report from Estonian intelligence warns that Russia “is very likely to try to intervene in the European Parliament elections” to undermine the E.U. nbcnews.com/news/world/rep…
That’s a good reminder that it’s never just been about Trump—Russia has been meddling in elections around the world to try to advance its goals. Here’s a partial list of places interference has been reported since 2016:

And, oh yeah, the 2018 midterms: washingtonpost.com/world/national…
The lack of a unified response has only encouraged Russia to continue its efforts unabated. It’s high time the Trump administration stop dragging its feet and join the international community in sanctioning Russia for its attacks.

THREAD: Don’t Trust Bill Barr (1/8) themoscowproject.org/dispatch/dont-…
Attorney General William Barr doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt. That’s not just because he refuses to commit to releasing the full Mueller report, or because of the questions his memo left unanswered. (2/8) themoscowproject.org/dispatch/barrs…
The problem is his history of acting as a partisan operative to defend his appointer. That goes back all the way to 1992, when he signed off on the pardons that ended the Iran-Contra investigation. (3/8) npr.org/2019/01/14/684…

Attorney General William Barr's latest letter to Congress describes Mueller's report as being "nearly 400 pages long" and predicts the Justice Department will be ready to release it to Congress by "mid-April, if not sooner."
washingtonpost.com/context/attorn…
Barr also notes that last Friday's letter "was not, and did not purport to be, an exhaustive recounting of the Special Counsel's investigation or report" and says Mueller is assisting the DOJ in reviewing the report for potential redactions.
washingtonpost.com/context/attorn…
In the letter, Barr also offers to testify "shortly after the Special Counsel's report is made public," suggesting May 1 and 2.

Trump’s accomplices are pushing the line that his campaign turned down Russia’s offers of help. But we know that’s a lie. For example, here’s how Don Jr. opened the June 9 meeting in Trump Tower: feinstein.senate.gov/public/_cache/…
That’s based on testimony from multiple witnesses who said he asked, multiple times, for dirt on Clinton, then got upset when they didn’t have any. Here it is from both Ike Kaveladze and Rinat Akhmetshin: judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/… judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
That’s part of a pattern: Trump’s people repeatedly learned Russia was trying to help them—valuable information even on its own—and, instead of alerting authorities, set up contact after contact with the same people who told them about Russia's campaign. themoscowproject.org/explainers/aid…

The Trump administration’s efforts to fast track transfer of nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia enjoyed the assistance of a lobbying firm Prime Policy Group (PPG), that represented Ukraine’s then pro-Russian government. #Manafort #Stone #Black

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

.@nikkihaley called today's urgent UN Security Council meeting on North Korea. She slammed #Russia for helping #NorthKorea violate sanctions AND for pressuring UN experts to alter an independent report implicating Russian actors in NK sanctions violations. nbcnews.com/news/world/u-s…
TASS reports UN Ambassador Nikki Haley also accused Russia of facilitating the assassination of Kim Jong-Nam by supplying North Korea with the nerve agent ("biological substances")
Mistranslation or disinformation from TASS?? Even Sputnik isn't reporting @NikkiHaley accusing Russia of 'facilitating' Kim Jong-nam assassination. Sputnik quotes her slamming Russia for blocking stronger North Korea sanctions on chemical & biological substances after the murder.
