Question: what are the Tories doing in return for the Russian money? It couldn‘t be anything to do with #Brexit, could it? Vladimir Putin has said the UK should not hold a second referendum on #Brexit,

Diplomatic sources: the #Corbyn visit to Brussels was a waste of time because he wants a) a general election b) a new deal featuring a customs union for which there is no time and he does not have a majority in the Commons. The visit left EU officials shaking their heads
The May visit also left EU officials shaking their heads in disbelief. May spoke of progress, Juncker was pessimistic that a no deal #Brexit could be averted. EU officials do not believe the WA will get a majority in the Commons
Work continues in Brussels on an additional document on #Brexit to be appended to the Withdrawal Agreement. It would have to be approved by EU leaders at their next summit on 21 March. It will then be given to UK. However it will not contradict the WA ie will not satisfy ERG

#BREAKING CNN: Among recently expelled Russian diplomats were a group of spies who tracked Russian defectors, seen as enemies. The Russian spies were casing at least one Russian emigre who received new identity. Raised acute concerns after ex-spy Skripal poisoning in Salisbury UK
That Russian spies under diplomatic cover were tracking a Russian emigre given a new identity in America raised concerns that "the Russians were preparing to target Russian émigrés in the US labeled by the Kremlin as traitors or enemies." cnn.com/2018/04/25/pol…
New CNN report corroborates Steele dossier, which noted Russian diplomats/spies & emigres were key part of the Trump-Russia conspiracy, used to provide regular flow of information/intelligence on Russian oligarchs, their families' activities & assets in US back to the Kremlin.

#BREAKING Trump’s lead lawyer is out. John Dowd Resigns in Special Counsel Probe. This comes days after Fox News conspiracy theorist Joe diGenova joined legal team. (Dershowitz would complete the TV team, no?) nyti.ms/2GebgG9 #Mueller #RussiaInvestigation #TrumpRussia
Seems clear where Trump's now headed. He hired diGenova to FoxNewsify his defense. It may work on those already awash in toxic Fox propaganda. But it won't work on Mueller. He'll have to be fired+/Trumpists will manufacture some crisis to end Russia probe. WHERE RU GOP CONGRESS??
UGH John Bolton was seen at the WH today. Is another Fox News blowhard propagandist about to get hired by Trump…to replace McMaster as National Security Adviser?? @ColinKahl is right. We're all gonna die.

What is GOP Congress waiting for? Are they complicit w/ Russia too??
