Mar-a-Lago is and has been a predictable disaster for counterintelligence. Costs to taxpayers, $ and secrets, for President Trump to reinforce his business interests are obscene. Check out the quotes in this article nytimes.com/2019/04/03/us/… via ⁦@nytimes⁩
Secret Service wanting no part of this nonsense.
Free & improved security system on the backs of taxpayers. Would like to see a full accounting of all costs for Trump properties.
How many times have foreign intelligence agents and criminals already been in Trump properties before this publicly known mishap? Should be a BI-Partisan issue @GOP

Question for AG Barr: if there is no evidence of Trump campaign “knowingly” coordinating with Russia, then why did candidate Trump “knowingly” and specifically call out to Russia for Clinton emails? How did he know to ask Russia? google.com/amp/s/www.pbs.…
This is why President Trump needed to be interviewed in person. How did he know to ask Russia? His team knew Russia had emails, Russia had “dirt”, Trump Tower meeting under This auspices...
If President Trump or his team had sent an email saying “Russia if you have those emails”, would that be “knowingly” coordinating? I think so, if he does it on stage, he is doing it “knowingly” as well. No difference

My last hopes that Barr will do the right thing seem to be fading. This could however....be a preemptive investigation to ward off GOP pressure & demonstrate investigation was done properly.
I don’t have confidence in Barr’s motives, but having worked in government, when a conspiracy is being levied to rally a political base, sometimes best way to defuse the conspiracy is to preempt it.

Just discussed this @MSNBC 2 weeks ago, both @11thHour & @Morning_Joe - this happens when President & team skirt around security procedures. Asked 2 weeks ago, how many foreign intelligence agents have been spotted targeting the administration Trump Hotel/Mar-a-Lago/Trump tower?
This is why we have Camp David, so we don't give adversaries wide open doors to conduct espionage & influence. Last night, security clearance overrides, 2 weeks ago WhatsApp diplomacy, 3 weeks ago, concerns selling access to China at Mar-a-lago
then add Trump white house - unsecure phone usage, personal email use, staffers recording each other in the White House, America looks ridiculous!

BLUF:
💥 There is a direct connection between the #Solntsevskaya Mafia and @IvankaTrump. Dasha #ZHUKOVA's father Alexander #ZHUKOV is KEY. 💥

The lede has been buried by way of incomplete reporting.

Let's connect the dots. #MOB
Ivanka Trump is a longtime friend of Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich's ex-wife Dasha Zhukova. Dasha is friends with Josh and Jared Kushner as well.
Supposedly, their introduction was made by the #spy for foreign intelligence Wendi Deng Murdoch.

#ESP and #MAR are facing off right now at the #WorldCup stadium built by Aras Agalarov, oligarch beloved by Putin and Trump's longtime Russian business partner. Agalarov's treatment of the stadium's builders was…not great. /1 motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
In July 2016, stadium builders in Kaliningrad went on strike after going months without their full salary. The subcontractor employing them offered them breakfasts in lieu of pay. /2
After prosecutors sued the subcontractor and ordered it to pay back wages, the firm's director straight up disappeared: His car was found at the airport, and he was found *a year later* in a Russian city 1000 miles away. /3 bit.ly/2IdkCPC

President and Mrs. Trump are dining at the Trump Hotel DC right now.
It’s a 7:41 drive from the White House to the Trump Hotel DC (with a motorcade; slower for you).
