"I surround myself with the best people. I know the best people." - @realdonaldtrump, 1999

Here are a few of Trump's best people. [THREAD]

While working on the Trump campaign, @GeorgePapa19 met with a Kremlin-connected professor about getting his hands on thousands of Hillary Clinton's emails.

Then he did an even dumber thing: bragged about it to an Australian diplomat, who ratted him out to the FBI. (1/6)

You might recognize Paul Manafort as that guy who physically cannot stop himself from committing crimes.

He did a lot of shady stuff in his 30-year career: money laundering, witness tampering, closely associating with Babadook impersonator Roger Stone, etc. (2/6)

Rick Gates was the key witness in the financial crimes case against Paul Manafort, testifying for 3 days about how they evaded taxes and committed fraud.

His sentencing has been delayed indefinitely because he's been such a big help to Robert Mueller 👀 (3/6)

It's hard to encapsulate Roger Stone in a single tweet but we'll try.

Yes, he is permanently banned from CNN, MSNBC, and Twitter.
Yes, he has a tattoo of Richard Nixon's face.
Yes, he once hired the Proud Boys as his security.
Yes, he regularly appears on Infowars. (4/6)

President Obama actually warned Trump not to hire @GenFlynn shortly after Trump's election, due to Flynn's "loose relationship with the truth" (which as we all know, only made him more qualified under this administration). (5/6)

The president and @GOP are trying to distance themselves from Michael Cohen now, but he worked for the president for 12 years in high-ranking roles across multiple organizations. Oh, and also served a short stint as deputy finance chair of the RNC. (6/6)
