New documents show Russian plans to interfere in US politics again, linked to none other than Yevgeny Prigozhin.

He was indicted by Mueller in 2018 for funding the Internet Research Agency
nbcnews.com/news/world/rus…
Russian intel expert Andrei Soldatov told NBC that “This is typical of the way Prigozhin and his team operate. They come up with pitches, some of them very ambitious. They discuss many possible ideas and then send the pitches to the Kremlin to be authorized or rejected."
For more on the role of Prigozhin, aka "Putin's chef", see our resource here: themoscowproject.org/players/yevgen…

A lot. To start with, the surveillance of Page happened under a law specifically designed to prevent abuses like the FBI spying on King.
Three separate judges—all of whom were appointed by Republicans—signed off on the warrant. Two of those required evidence that the surveillance was providing investigators useful information about clandestine foreign intelligence activities in the US.

Also worth noting: The first of those applications didn't come in until October 2016, *after* he'd officially left the Trump campaign. nytimes.com/2018/07/21/us/…

NEW: Documents containing comm’s between indicted Russian oligarch Yevgeny Prigozhin & his associates reveal a new plot to “manipulate and radicalize African-Americans.” The plans go beyond Russia’s efforts in the 2016 election, all the way through 2018. nbcnews.com/news/world/rus…
"One document said that President Donald Trump’s election had 'deepened conflicts in American society' and suggested that, if successful, the influence project would 'undermine the country’s territorial integrity and military and economic potential.'”
wtf... Among the proposals aimed at exacerbating racial discord in the future was a "suggestion to recruit African-Americans and transport them to camps in Africa 'for combat prep and training in sabotage.' Those recruits would then be sent back to America to foment violence."

NEW: Trump praises Libyan General Haftar as his troops march on US backed government in Tripoli, commending Haftar on Mon for securing Libya's oil resources. Earlier this month, Pompeo denounced Hafta's military offensive in Tripoli.
by @rabrowne75 #Maddow cnn.it/2UPIZhv
Why this is significant via @Joyce_Karam:
-A US President calling a Libyan Military General
-Waiting 4 days to disclose the call [after US blocked ceasefire for Libya at UN]
-Comes as reports say Haftar is advancing
-Contradicts US State Dept re Haftar
Why would Trump praise Libyan General Haftar whose troops are marching on the US-backed govt in Tripoli?

=> "Murky private military company Wagner Group [owned by “Putin's chef” Prigozhin] is supporting Haftar in Libya." bit.ly/2KPyBl6

1. A proposal to divide California into three separate states will appear on the November 2018 ballot. The “Cal 3” campaign got enough signatures for a statewide referendum.
theguardian.com/us-news/2018/j…
2. The author and sponsor of this proposal is a billionaire venture capitalist Tim Draper. He first came up with the idea in 2013. His first attempt to divide California into six smaller states in 2014 cost him $5.2m...

Last night we took a look at the Twitter dataset from suspended Kremlin troll accounts archived & posted by #NBC & look at the frequency of tweets discussing specific US states & display by swing states in 2016 election #Mueller Internet Research Agency nbcnews.com/tech/social-me…
As you can see there was a pretty clear grouping of purple states. This was an initial quick and dirty analysis and it doesn't take into account that bigger states would of course likely have a higher # of random tweets about them.
So in this next graph we normalized the # of tweets mentioning each state to the states electoral number thus normalizing the tweet frequency to the weight or importance of the state in the 2016 elections. Again a good grouping of purple states. #mueller Internet Research Agency
