THREAD: Barbara McQuade on @MSNBC re: #MuellerReport: Trump asked individuals within his campaign to find Hillary's emails. Michael Flynn acted on this, including asking GOP operative Peter Smith. 1/5
Peter Smith, "who said he had tried to obtain Hillary Clinton's missing emails from Russian hackers, killed himself in a Minnesota hotel room days after talking to The Wall Street Journal about his efforts, public records show." 2/5 chicagotribune.com/news/local/pol…
The president's son-in-law Jared Kushner brought militarized propaganda firm Cambridge Analytica, founded by Robert Mercer and Steve Bannon, into the Trump campaign. 3/5 vox.com/policy-and-pol…
Alexander Nix, the head of Cambridge Analytica, said he asked Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder, for help finding Hillary Clinton’s 33,000 deleted emails. 4/5 thedailybeast.com/trump-data-gur…
No, Trump did not sit in a troll farm in Russia running bot operations, but his campaign relentlessly sought Hillary Clinton's emails, even reaching out to Russian hackers and Wikileaks, a 'hostile intelligence service helped by Russia' as ID'ed by then CIA director Pompeo. 6/6
