If the FBI's investigation into Trump/Russia was really opened on July 31 2016, why did @Comey say to @GStephanopoulos that "we already had the investigation underway" when Trump gave a *July 27* press conference?
Shouldn't Comey's answer have really been: "Okay, so Trump asked Russia to release Clinton's emails. We thought that was concerning, but we didn't have any reason to investigate him at the time. Then a few days later the @GeorgePapa19 tip came in, and then we did"?
Alternative: it was a slip of the tongue or Comey was remembering incorrectly. But since Comey has never been asked, it's hard to know for sure.

Jul-17 was a busy time for Mueller

— Told about Strzok/Page texts by IG Horowitz (quietly shunts both off the team)
—Seeks sealed search warrant for Michael Cohen
—Hastily Arrests PapaD at Dulles airport
—Guns drawn raid on Paul Manafort
—Preps a Grand Jury

Why all the rush? 🤔
H/t @dbongino
PapaD wasn’t Collusion

Manafort wasn’t Collusion

Cohen wasn’t Collusion

And every one of those cases was dragged out and delayed

Why: Mueller wanted to entangle them in legal jeopardy, then shut them up, to leave the *possibility* of “Collusion” tangling with the public/media

Less than 1 year before Mifsud met @GeorgePapa19 he was speaking at a conference alongside:

—Italy’s Chief of Military Intel & NATO KFOR commander
—A top counterterrorism official from the Rome police force
—A pro Hillary EU politician

Where was this?
INSIDE THE ITALIAN SENATE
Another attendee was a former head of the interior ministry, which in Italy is responsible for their domestic security and intelligence services

Oh and the Vice President of the Senate was there as well

What a coup for Putin
REMINDER: @RepAdamSchiff says Mifsud is a “Russian agent”. Not a cutout, or asset, but literally a Russian *agent* (that’s verbatim quoting Schiff’s memo)

@Jim_Jordan Any #Trump sycophant, alleged pedophile protector, trying to besmirch this hero, while his own children will have to suffer from the decisions made for the country, is sad. Why wouldn't the #GOP make it an open door session if they had nothing to hide? Your reign ends soon.
@Jim_Jordan As time passes, more comes to light, with the Steele dossier, Trumps alleged involvement in Epstein child sex ring where Secretary Acosta stopped the FBI investigation before more suspects could be arrested, and money laundering campaign contributions from Russian operatives.
@Jim_Jordan Plus your support for a theocratic monarchy that really acts like a ruthless inhumane dictator & desire to sell American technology to them when it could then be used to kill our own troops or handed over to Russia is genuinely INSANE. Who is dishonorable, spineless sycophantic?

COMEY MEMOS: (THREAD) Working my way through the 15 pages of #ComeyMemos. Here are the most important and/or shocking revelations: 1/
During #Comey's 1/6/17 at Trump Tower, @Comey told Trump that the Russians allegedly had tapes involving Trump & prostitutes at a Moscow hotel in 2013. Could these be the infamous #PeeTapes? #ComeyMemos 2/
Trump also praised #Comey on 1/6/17 for his handling of the #ClintonEmails investigation. @realDonaldTrump lavished praise on @Comey, indicating that Comey had conducted himself "honorably" and had a great reputation. #ComeyMemos 3/

Comey is talking about his first meeting with Trump. Says no one asked about Russian interference (what to do, what comes next).

"It was all about PR," how to spin the story to minimize Russia's role so it wouldn't take away from Trump's victory.

#ComeyInterview
Comey says his first meeting with Trump gave him flashbacks to La Cosa Nostra (American mafia). Says Trump reminded him of a mob boss, and the relationships between/among Trump and others in his circle reminded him of a mob family.

#ComeyInterview
Comey says he soon started taking notes after each meeting with Trump because he was worried Trump would lie about what happened/what was said. ("Trump does not have a high regard for the truth.")

#Russia's really going for it at UNSC today: Amb. Nebenzia going all-out tinfoil hat, contradicting himself in rapid time.

- In the space of seconds, he says (1) the #Douma incident was a false-flag chemical attack by rebels & then says (2) there was no chemical attack at all.
U.S. Amb. to UN @nikkihaley:

- I could hold up pictures of babies lying dead next to their mothers, in their diapers, all lying together, dead, ashen blue, open eyes & lifeless, white foam bubbling from their mouths & noses… the very definition of innocent, hiding in basements.
U.S. Amb. to UN @nikkihaley:

"Who does this? Only a monster does this… the monsters behind this have no conscience… the Russian regime is covered in the blood of innocent children.

#Russia & #Iran are to blame… [but] what’s the point in trying to shame these people?
