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 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…

[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.

@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.🤣

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.

#Russian🇷🇺born “lobbyist” / SPY Rinat Akhmetshin, who attended the #Russian🇷🇺lawyer meeting in June’16 received “suspicious” payments totaling $500,000 before and after his meeting with Don Jr, Kush, and Manafort.🤨

Here is an all-informative thread about Soviet-born Rinat Akhmetshin, a “lobbyist” (spy) who lobbied ILLEGALLY for the #Russian🇷🇺lawyer/SPY, Natalya Veselnitskaya.

BOTH “lobbyists”/SPIES met with Don Jr, Kush, and Manafort, offering dirt on Clinton.🔥

Rinat was involved with Prevezon (accused of being part of a global money laundering machine), also represented by Veselnitskaya. Prosecutors say the #Russian🇷🇺government and gangsters STOLE $230 million from @Billbrowder and used Prevezon to funnel some through NYC real estate.

Friedman is a SIGNIFICANT business partner of Cohen. Under his agreement, Freidman will **avoid jail time**, and must assist government prosecutors in "STATE or FEDERAL investigations".🤔

Just imagine what Friedman knows to get such a sweet deal‼️😎

Cohen is TOAST.🤣 2/
Freidman has been Cohen’s partner in the taxi business (easy way to launder money) for years, managing cabs for him even after NYC regulators BARRED Freidman last year from continuing to manage taxi medallions.🤨 3/

FBI probing the NRA for using *illegal* #Russian🇷🇺money to help Trump win‼️

The NRA reported it spent a *record $55 million* on 2016 elections, including $30 million for Trump – TRIPLE what it spent for Mitt Romney in 2012.🤨 1/

amp.mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-wo…
Even WORSE:

👉🏼Most of the $55 million was spent by an arm of the NRA that is *not required to disclose its donors*
👉🏼Two people w/close connections to the NRA said its total election spending actually was *$70 million*

2/
The gap btwn the $55 million (reported) and $70 million (actual) may be b/c independent groups are *not required to report how much they spend on Internet ads or field operations*, including get-out-the-vote efforts‼️🤬 3/
