NEW: WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was taken into custody in the UK this morning for skipping bail and he’s wanted in the US for *Conspiracy to Commit Computer Intrusion* –– NOT for publishing classified information as Assange's lawyer lies about here.

#Maddow
Per @CNN @ShimonPro @evanperez: A US official briefed on the matter said DOJ officials expect to bring additional charges against Assange. The judge ordered Assange to appear on May 2 via video link for his first hearing on extradition to the US.

SCOOP ●➤ Trump’s message to then-CBP head and now acting DHS Secretary McAleenan: Close the southwestern border to block asylum-seekers from entering the US, contrary to law, and if you're sent to jail as a result, I'll pardon you.
by @anniekarni #Maddow nyti.ms/2ZhmvEC
The @GOP stand idly by as Trump regularly abuses his power and obstructs justice.
On that same trip to Calexico, Trump told border agents to break the law and lie to judges.

Hosting the Trump inaugural ball was the National Cmte of Asian American Republicans, whose executive director, “Cliff” Li – an associate of massage parlor owner Cindy Yang – says he knows where the unreported money went, “but I don’t want to tell you.” WHAT?!

“Cliff” Li – host of the Trump inaugural ball and an associate of massage parlor owner Cindy Yang – says he knows where the unreported money went, “but I don’t want to tell you.”
Excellent read by @luluramadan.

Donors to the dubious Trump inaugural ball hosted by an entity connected to massage parlor owner Cindy Yang included Saipan Casino, which was raided by the FBI in Mar 2017 and whose board members include Trump campaign advisor James Woolsey.

NEW: Trump's White House tried to pressure US immigration authorities into releasing immigrant detainees onto the streets of “sanctuary cities,” including in @SpeakerPelosi's district, as retaliation against Trump’s political foes.

This is insane.
#Maddow wapo.st/2Ga7ziB?tid=ss…
The Trump White House believed it could punish Democrats — including Pelosi — by busing and releasing ICE detainees into their districts, according to 2 DHS whistleblowers who independently reported the Stephen Miller-led busing plan to Congress.
#Maddow
“The extent of this admin’s cynicism and cruelty cannot be overstated,” said @SpeakerPelosi spox @AshleyEtienne09. “Using human beings — including little children — as pawns in their warped game to perpetuate fear and demonize immigrants is despicable.”

💥Seems fitting #Russia’s #propaganda media RT gets the creepy video scoop of #WikiLeaks founder Julian #Assange's arrest in London after Ecuador withdrew his asylum. Police forcibly removed the bearded man from the Embassy building he’s been in since 2012
💥UPDATE: #Wikileaks founder Julian #Assange “has been further arrested in relation to an extradition warrant on behalf of the United States authorities. He remains in custody at a central London police station.” via @metpoliceuk news.met.police.uk/news/update-ar…
#Russia calls #Wikileaks’ #Assange “the throat of freedom.” @jimsciutto notes he’s wanted by 3 govts & he’s a central witness to Russian interference in US election. 🤔Q: How is Mueller investigation over if a central witness is just being extradited to US?

.@rcfp Just lost the case to unseal details on the alleged prosecution of #WikiLeaks founder Julian #Assange.
The judge acknowledged that it's an important issue, but nevertheless concluded that the statutes and case law don't provide a groundwork for the @RCFP's application (which cleverly seized on a novel set of circumstances).

Dismissed without prejudice, so it may not be over yet.
@rcfp The crux of the government's argument appears to have been "sometimes a mistake is just a mistake, you can't infer anything more from it."

#HappeningNow: #FBI Director Wray joins @TheJusticeDept in announcing a national security action involving China. justice.gov/live.
Director Wray: As evidenced by this investigation, the threats we face have never been more pervasive or more potentially damaging to our national security. No country poses a broader, more severe, & long-term threat to our nation’s economy & cyber infrastructure than China.
Director Wray: China’s goal, simply put, is to replace the U.S. as the world’s leading superpower – and they’re using illegal methods to get there.

This is a lengthy thread proving the connections between Wikileaks and the Trump campaign. Putting together all the pieces in a timeline allows one to see the clear collusion between Assanged/Wikileaks, Russia and the Trump Campaign. This info must get out there! (THREAD) (1)
June 2016 - Cambridge Analytica CEO emails WikiLeaks
Cambridge Analytica, a data analytics firm, started working for Trump over the summer of 2016. Some members of Cambridge Analytica
staff were incorporated in the Trump campaign's data operation team. (2)

emailed WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange seeking access to emails from Clinton's private server so he could turn them into a searchable
