On August 17, 2016 Trump got his first intelligence briefing.

(Source: nbcnews.com/politics/2016-…)

At this briefing, Trump was told Russia was responsible for the hack of the DNC.

Three months earlier (May 2016), George Papadapoulos (Trump Foreign Policy Coffee Boy) told the Australian ambassador that Russia had thousands of emails belonging to Clinton.

Russia hacked the DNC and the Clinton Campaign Chair and the emails were released through Wikileaks.

Roger Stone told Trump campaign officials (plural) that Wikileaks had the stolen emails in either June or July 2016.

Just clarifying known communications between Stone and Trump campaign

(Same Source as above)

Stone had communications with Wikileaks and Russia (through the identity Guccifer_2) in the summer and fall of 2016.

Donald Trump (“sarcastically”) requested that Russia find the 30,000 missing emails on July 27, 2016.

Also on July 27, 2016, Russia attempted to spearphish (use an email to trick them into sharing their login info) the Clinton campaign.

Russia communicated directly regarding its releases with Stone

The most recent filing in Stone’s case was on February 15, 2019. In the case, the government asserts Stone is part of the email hack case.

Conclusion (thanks for staying with me to this point, I know it felt repetitive):

Every bit of this thread is proven and broadly agreed upon fact. No “twitterati” spin, no “liberal media” wringing of hands. Stone. Cold. Fact.

March 14, 2016: Pappadopoulos met with sketchy Russian-aligned professor

March 15, 2016: Russia began its hack into the DCCC

May 2016: Pappadop tells Australia Russia has emails of HRC

Perhaps that’s all bluster and just a really lucky guess...

July 27, 2016: Trump asks Russia to find the 30,000 missing HRC emails

July 27, 2016: Russia attempts to find the 30,000 missing emails

Also, could be really lucky timing...

But...

June or July 2016: Roger Stone told Trump Campaign Russia has emails

June 9, 2016: Trump Jr. meets with Kush, Manafort, Veselnitskaya etc at Trump Tower re: dirt on HRC (exact term Papadapoulos used with the Aussie in May)

Aug 2016: Stone messages RU

Sept 2016: Stone communicates with Wikileaks

Throughout, Stone updates the Trump Campaign as to the status of the document drops.

Stone was charged Jan 25, 2019 and was clearly linked to the Russian hack and dissemination February 15, 2019 in a case that has yet to be completed

February 14, 2019 Billy Barr was appointed as AG and took office that night.

He summarized the findings of the Mueller Report on March 24, 2019 (after a March 5 meeting where Mueller decided not to pursue charges of obstruction):

Barr asserts, “The Special Counsel’s Investigation did not find that the Trump Campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. Presidential election.”

How can this be true and the 2/15/19 Stone filing exist?

Either Barr can see the future (he can’t) and knows for sure Stone didn’t do the things we know that he did, or Barr has just intentionally misled the American people.

THIS is how we should be discussing the Barr summary.

Take notes.
Organize irrefutable facts.
Reject gaslighting.

This is not Russia. This is the MFing United States of America. We don’t play. 🇺🇸
