[Thread] Today's #ManafortSentencing is for white collar crimes, but people died because of Manafort's actions in Ukraine. We detailed his possible rap sheet in Sept 2017. No matter what, he is getting off lightly. @traciemac_Bmore @NarativLive narativ.org/2017/09/20/blo…
Why this apparent miscarriage of justice? Because it appears the Trump administration and @RudyGiuliani bribed Ukraine's government with weapons to stop co-operating with Mueller. nytimes.com/2018/05/02/wor…
Manafort is central to the main crime of #TrumpRussia: the hacking of the DNC servers by the GRU and the publication of emails by Wikileaks. S.C. Mueller is yet to release his findings on this. We wrote about it here: @NarativLive @traciemac_Bmore.
Here's the link. narativ.org/2019/02/06/der… @NarativLive @traciemac_Bmore
Here's the unbroken link: How @RudyGiuliani traded Ukraine's national security for a halt in cooperation with Mueller. (h/t @PortlusGlam) nytimes.com/2018/05/02/wor…

<<THREAD MUELLER>> I keep running the known facts through my mind and weighing them up against this notion that no new indictments means vindication for Donald Trump. This is a flawed conclusion. @traciemac_Bmore @NarativLive #Mueller narativ.org/2019/03/22/mue…
Mueller could only conclude "no further indictments" through three legal paths:
1) No evidence of a crime
2) Insufficient evidence to indict or
3) DOJ guidelines don't allow indicting a sitting POTUS. @traciemac_Bmore @NarativLive #Mueller
Let's eliminate the unlikely:
1) is unlikely because so many people have already been indicted.
2) is possible but unlikely as this investigation has mounds of evidence
3) the likeliest scenario: Donald J. Trump committed a crime but Mueller couldn't indicted under DOJ policy.

<<thread>> The suspected NY hitman who gunned down Gambino boss Cali wrote Trump’s MAGA slogan United We Stand on his hand. @LincolnsBible @traciemac_Bmore @NarativLive abc7ny.com/mob-boss-murde…
He had previously targeted Nancy Pelosi. @traciemac_Bmore @NarativLive . dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6…
This reminds me of that former NY stripper/bouncer who sent pipe bombs to members of congress and other Trump critics. Considering Trump’s mobs connections in NYC, is there more to the Gambino hit than meets the eye? @LincolnsBible theguardian.com/us-news/2018/o…

This isn't just any civil lawsuit involving Russian money laundering. This is Prevezon, a tax fraud scheme that netted $230m from Russian state coffers. The case that got Sergei Magnitsky killed and made @Billbrowder Putin's enemy #1. @traciemac_Bmore cnn.it/2pK72tC
It's also the lawsuit that connects Russian-Israeli diamond king Lev Leviev, and Trump buddy Aras Agalarov to Russian lawyer Natalya Veselnitskaya through a Brooklyn accountant named Ilya Bykov. @narativlive theguardian.com/us-news/2018/o…
I'm guessing we're just getting a part of the story. Was this a way of flipping a witness? Is Russia just exerting pressure? Or is Mueller about to reveal a while lot of something. You know you'll get it first with @traciemac_Bmore and me @NarativLive.

THREAD on the Trump Campaign Crime Wave: With the Manafort sentencing today, it's worth noting that if the US govt more vigorously prosecuted white collar crime, most of the key figures in the Trump campaign—including Trump and his children—wouldn't have been around by 2016....
1) Campaign chair Paul Manafort would have been caught for his decade-long $65 million money laundering, bank fraud, and tax fraud scheme.... nytimes.com/interactive/20…
2) Michael Cohen would have been caught for his years-long bank and tax fraud taxi medallion scheme.... nbcnews.com/news/crime-cou…

The first party, which includes Neal Katyal, is interesting, particularly because Katyal brings up the point about Manafort’s angling for a pardon. tinyurl.com/y4xos9fh
The clear insinuation in previous Mueller court filings, that Manafort has been angling for a pardon, is very significant. But there was no reason to expect Mueller to address that in yesterday’s sentencing memo. 1/6
Trump isn’t going to pardon Manafort b/c he feels his pain. Trump has no such feelings. He will only pardon Manafort to reward him if he doesn’t spill the beans on Trump’s campaign collusion with the Russians. 2/6

.@SethAbramson has an interesting thread today on the Stone indictments, emphasizing the unmentioned but important role that Paul Manafort undoubtedly plays in this saga. 1/7
tinyurl.com/y9hd2po7
As Abramson points out, the Guardian published an article on 27 Nov 2018 by Luke Harding (who has an excellent track record and excellent sources in the U.k), 2/7
reporting that over the course of several years Paul #Manafort had meetings in London with Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy. 3/7 tinyurl.com/y9hbdbvv

Today Pink Legacy diamond from platinum necklace donated by Maharaja of Mysore to Tirumala Tirupati Temples known as 'Leonardo da Vinci of Diamonds' was auctioned by Christie's at Geneva despite our letter to PMO & temple mahant's warnings. But how did it reach there?
In its 251 years in business, Christie's sold only 4 such diamonds weighing more than 10 carats, this #TTD diamond was almost 20 carats and sold for a record $70 million to Harry Winston. But no one has bothered to ask still how did this diamond get there? abc.net.au/news/2018-11-1…
According to British auction house Christie's this Tirumala Tirupati temples diamond once belonged to the Oppenheimer diamond family. But how did this diamond reach there from #TTD? And what is this Oppenheimer family? We warned about this in detail to our PMO early this year.

#Manafort's Virginia trial begins today—1st of 2 for Trump's Campaign Manager whose shady work for pro-Russia oligarchs in Ukraine were well known. Mueller team will tell this story thru 18 counts of financial crimes. They'll likely also establish debt/cash flow problems by 2016.
#Manafort trial update: Federal judge approves jury of 6 men and 6 women to hear Special Counsel Mueller’s case. The panel of jurors deciding fmr Trump campaign mgr’s fate was plucked from Fairfax County, a part of Virginia that voted heavily against Trump abcn.ws/2AqQ9i9
#Manafort Trial: Mueller Team Opening Statement Paints Manafort as "shrewd liar," rich cheat & thief who acted above the law. Mind-blowing resemblance betw Manafort & disgraced patron Yanukovych, who also happens to be on trial now—for treason in Ukraine. cnn.com/2018/07/31/pol…
