You can't make this up, tweeps:

Company of sanctioned Russian oligarch & election interferer DERIPASKA -- granted unexplained sanctions relief by Treasury --announces it will build totally pointless aluminum plant in Kentucky, home of McConnell+Rand Paul

rusal.ru/en/press-cente…
The facility will use aluminum imported from Siberia and other people's technology to roll metal. Sure. Whatever.
More on this charming reward to McConnell for his advocacy on behalf of Russian oligarchs:

And now, in honor of National Haiku Day, let's post some haiku on our favorite junk food and/or thoughts about the state of America.

Bonus points for nostalgia and oblique and humorous references to pending Mueller mayhem.

I'm rewatching Dr. Strangelove, which I had forgotten is sort of a love note to the B-52

Every year you swear you will be more organized about taxes, then once again you're in a foreign hotel room sorting thru receipts hastily assembled from bottom of old purses just prior to departure, finding hotel bills & boarding passes for trips you can't remember taking. /1
Was I in Warsaw? I guess I was.

Why did this person pay me for something? Oh yeah, that thing, that was a long time ago.

The glamorous life of running your own business in America. /2
Why was I buying a snickers in LAX when the last time I remember being in LA was NYE 2000?? /3

DERIPASKA PAYDAY REVEALED: Washington lawyers who negotiated a deal with @USTreasury to lift sanctions on the Russian oligarch's companies were paid "a multiple" of the $600k+ that was paid to Mercury Public Affairs for lobbying to lift the sanctions, per @GregBarkerUK last week.
The British Lord (@GregBarkerUK) who leads DERIPASKA's cos. reportedly will receive a "success fee" for leading effort to lift US sanctions.
He suggested to parliament MERCURY, which lobbied for sanctions relief, also would receive a success fee, but his spox now denies that.
FARA LOOPHOLE: The law firms that helped negotiate the sanctions relief for DERIPASKA's companies — including @lathamwatkins, @steptoellp & @Dentons — were not required to disclose how much they were paid under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, because it exempts legal work.

"Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska will remain sanctioned, and his property will remain blocked."

home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…
"Treasury sanctioned these companies because of their ownership and control by sanctioned Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, not for the conduct of the companies themselves."

Deripaska is sanctioned for election interference, not mining.
Shout out to all the media mediocrities who failed reading comprehension. Please stop reporting on Washington, NatSec, government, or maybe anything.

”TOTALLY LEGAL” COLLUSION is the new NO COLLUSION. Trump now admits: Don Jr entered a conspiracy in Trump Tower w/ a hostile Russia for dirt, and together & in parallel they assaulted our democracy, defrauded & deprived Americans of an election w/o Russian military GRU intrusion.
Notice Trump also throws his own son under the bus. He admits “wonderful son Donald” had a “totally legal” meeting but daddy Donald “did not know about it!” He sticks to the Big Lie, pathetically hanging on to his brainwashed and deplorable base. They’re all he’s got left—& Putin
I warned when the Trump Tower Meeting 1st broke about Trump's "nothingburger" propaganda—understating in order to cover up their conspiracy. It's not what Russia gave the campaign in June 2016, but what Russia got there—sanctions promise, ie a BIG green light to launch its attack

THREAD: a #bankruptcy case in Los Angeles may lead to MORE charges against #Manafort, including BANKRUPTCY FRAUD‼️

Mueller is focusing on Jeffrey Yohai, Manafort’s fmr son-in-law & partner, as a potentially valuable witness.🤣😂🤣 1/

reuters.com/article/us-usa…
Manafort failed to disclose a loan for a NY property from a lender that was also the main creditor in the California bankruptcy case👉🏼may represent an ILLEGAL concealment of material information = BANKRUPTCY FRAUD‼️🤨 2/
This is bit confusing, so I will try to break it down.🤓

In early 2017, Manafort’s company got a loan against a NY home from Genesis Capital LLC. Genesis ALSO was the top secured creditor (gave biggest loan) in the bankruptcies of the 4 houses in LA partnered w/Yohai.🤔 3/
