One of the greatest national security threats facing the US –– Russian military intelligence-backed cybercriminals –– are essentially unpaid staffers for the Trump campaign.
Then-DHS Sec Kirstjen Nielsen, whose dept was charged with defending US infrastructure including elections against cyber attacks, grew frustrated with the Trump White House‘s lack of engagement on election security – a national security threat.

NEWS: Trump told @costareports that House Dems should be satisfied with the Mueller report and he opposes having aides testify. "There is no reason to go any further, and especially in Congress where it’s very partisan."

Trump doesn't understanding...anything.
@Maddow @11thHour
Trump says he's opposed to current and former WH aides testifying before Congress and that WH Counsel has not “made a final, final decision" on asserting executive privilege but they already waived it so the final, final decision HAS been made.
#Maddow wapo.st/2Gvjw2C?tid=ss…
In which, a lifelong criminal says he doesn't want WITNESSES, who will most assuredly incriminate him, testifying in a hearing which could finally lead to his demise. Shocking.

A Saudi-based network of 5,000 pro-Trump Twitter bots that railed against the “Russiagate hoax” shortly after the Mueller report release were removed from Twitter. The same bots also pushed messages backing Kushner's pal, MBS.
by @oneunderscore__ #Maddow nbcnews.to/2IPkzNH
Saudi Arabia and their contractors have conducted extensive influence campaigns on Twitter in recent years. Former MBS advisor, al-Qahtani, is known as the “Minister of the Flies” for hiring bot and troll armies to swarm on detractors of the govt.
#Maddow
Where there's a "troll farm," Cambridge Analytica or its parent company SCL won't be far behind. SCL [which received $15M from Robert Mercer in 2014] worked for the Saudi govt in 2014 and recently helped shape Crown Prince MBS's "reform efforts."

At the #TIME100Summit, Jared Kushner downplays Russian interference in the 2016 election to @ByBrianBennett, describing it as “a few Facebook ads,” saying it was a “terrible thing” but not “impactful.”

Stunning how Kushner lies with such ease.
When asked by @ByBrianBennett about Saudi Prince MBS' involvement in Jamal Khashoggi’s murder, Jared Kushner, who's rumored to be "in MBS' pocket," says he's “not going to dispute US Inteligence” and claims he advised MBS to “be as transparent as possible.”
#TIME100Summit @TIME
"More than 5,000 Saudi government backed, pro-Trump Twitter bots railed against the “Russiagate hoax” shortly after the release of the Mueller Report last week." nbcnews.to/2IPkzNH

It's obvious why Jared Kushner continues to cover for MBS.

#SpecialCounsel #RobertMueller reached an unambiguous conclusion in the final report on his investigation into #Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election: Neither President Trump nor any member of his campaign colluded with #Russia. (Thread 👇)theepochtimes.com/no-collusion-b…
#SpecialCounsel identified 2 primary efforts by the #Russian gov't to interfere in the 2016 election: the Internet Research Agency (IRA) and a group of Russian #Military intelligence officials with the GRU.
The IRA coordinated an illegal campaign to influence voters via #socialmedia, while GRU hacked Democratic targets and published the stolen emails online.

In both cases, #Mueller did not find evidence to suggest that any American knowingly conspired with #Russia.

Uproar!!!

📌Mueller report will be released in the afternoon, lightly redacted, revealing detailed look at O of J probe.

📌Barr & Rosenstein will give a press conf & deliver the partisan Barr Report 2.0 at 9:30am edt

📌Mueller not invited.
💣MuellerEve2💣

DOJ will present MR w/out certain redactions available to certain members of Congress/staff "in an appropriate setting."

Barr briefed & had numerous convos w/ WH re MR so they had time to strategize & prep a rebuttal while withholding it from American public.
💣MuellerEve3💣

The delay was necessary so Trump’s lawyers could strategize & prepare the rebuttal & control the narrative ahead of public release.

Nadler is deeply troubled to hear the WH was briefed abt the MR b/4 congress or the American people.

Introduction

Thank you Sec Ashcroft for that kind introduction. I’m glad to be here in Missouri and eager to spend some time with all of you today.

I’d like to begin by noting that tomorrow marks an important anniversary in our country’s history—the attacks on Sept 11th, 2001.
Nearly 3,000 innocent people died that day, making it the deadliest terrorist attack to ever occur on American soil. In the days following the attack, our fear and incredulity were replaced by defiance and determination.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
