Be clear: the reason Trump kept bleating "No Collusion" is because it is the one the he knew *He* personally did not do. He was as surprised to win as anyone was to see him win. He ran that campaign as a grift and planned to cash in from in and go on his narcissistic way /1 👇

2/ But others saw potential in him - as an agent of chaos and as a vehicle for the Domionist ultimate "key man". So they pitched in. They laundered money to the GOP. They munged data thru Cambridge Analytica to the GRU which weaponized it. Did they think they could win? /2

3/ They certainly thought is was worth a shot because they were doing it on the cheap and causing an absolute shitstorm of chaos on the way. So they launched Jill Stein and funded Dem discord and ran the social media grift, all while they were doing pretty much the same with /3

4/ backing Brexit when they saw a vulnerability there. The goal for Putin was to see just what he could accomplish using the New War tactics. The GRU and SVR stayed flexible and took opportunities as they arose. And they were delighted the whole GOP was for sale. 4/

5/ So they used the connection they'd built through the NRA and Prayer Breakfast Evangelicals to funnel money to the GOP to pile onto the money the Kochs and the Mercers and every Citizens United slush fund who had always known these guys were for sale and they bought a /5

6/ House and the bought a Senate and then they somewhere along the way - maybe when they saw being a racist, hate-filled, lying demagogue played so well a the little Hillbilly Nuremberg rallies, they could have a White House. And they went after that little margin they needed /6

7/ right where they needed it.
And then, HOLY SHIT, they won.
OMFG, they won.
No one was more surprised than Trump. Certainly not Putin, the Mercers, or the Family Foundation. Trump may not have personally colluded with anyone other than the voices in his head, but /7

8/ there were a whole bunch of other folks who knew how the magic trick was done. And once they won, they made sure Trump and everyone around him knew who was boss. You dance with the one that brung you. 8/

9/ But they weren't even subtle about it. They had installed a big mouth grifter in clown shoes, a mentally degenerating and unstable malignant narcissist.
And while they were doing it, people who watch things for a living were watching. Lots of people. /9

10/ People who are very good at their jobs.
Those people were not happy. And they had receipts.
The greatest counter-intelligence and law-enforcement action in history kicked in. The goal wasn't just to get the clown - it was to take down the whole fucking circus /10

11/ When Mueller started he had it all.
And he made a plan.
He's a hockey player, a combat vet.
He knows exactly how the game is played and what the stakes are.
This is not over yet by a long shot.
Just watch.
You ain't seen nothin' yet.

The good guys are gonna win. /
