I'll go first. I'm 100% okay with the DNC/Clinton Campaign hiring FusionGPS — who contracted Steele, a former-MI6 agent who specializes in Russia, to conduct opposition research on Trump.

Dems simply continued a research effort initiated by conservatives during the GOP Primary.
#FTR: This is part of a Trump/Republican counter-narrative that they keep trying to make happen...

#MORE: Check out the QT below for a thread dismantling this preposterous Trump/Republican counter-narrative...

Let's put it to bed, once and for all!

#MEANWHILE: Just yesterday, China announced that President Xi would be making a "STATE-VISIT" to North Korea this week...the first visit by a Chinese leader in 14 years.

Xi is intentionally making this trip immediately before his highly-anticipated meeting with Trump at the G20.
#ICYMI: This past weekend, Putin celebrated Chinese President Xi's birthday...

The two "best friends" strategized together ahead of the G20, and their individual meetings with Trump.

But of course, Trump is doing ZERO prep b/c he thinks they "like" him.
#RELATED: To Trump, everything is personal...

And that's the problem.

Trump sees everything as a zero-sum gain.

Just like he conducted his businesses, in his mind, a "good deal" is one where he wins by any means necessary...and the other party loses.

Trump thinks a "win-win" means he's losing something.

That's NOT how diplomacy and trade work...
#FACTCHECK: Now onto the substance of his claim...

Trump fails to grasp the idea that the U.S. benefits greatly from the success of our European partners...especially Germany, which produces an large proportion of its cars HERE in the U.S....

#FACTCHECK: Furthermore, following the "stimulus remarks" by Mario Draghi Trump claims "unfairly" benefited Germany...U.S. stocks are up.

Moreover, Trump has called for the U.S. Fed to cut rates, but is angry when the European Central Bank does just that.

Why would Trump think this would be treason...?
#HINT: He meant treason against Russia...

Trump is still freaking out after learning U.S. Cyber Command developed offensive capabilities to retaliate and deter Russia from attacking our power grid and infrastructure.

He puts his own interests...and Putin's...above our national security interests.

News Analysis 🔎 | The author of the #SteeleDossier told a @StateDept official that his client wanted allegations against Trump out before elections, and claimed #Russia had an agent planted in @DNC.

(Thread 👇) theepochtimes.com/memo-shows-ste…
A recently released @StateDept memo revealed that #SteeleDossier author #ChristopherSteele met with Kathleen Kavalec, then-deputy assistant secretary for European and Eurasian affairs, on Oct. 11, 2016—10 days prior to the @FBI obtaining a #FISA warrant on Carter Page.
Noted in a May 10 letter by Sen. @LindseyGrahamSC to @SecPompeo & IG #Horowitz: “Ms. Kavalec’s contacts with Steele may have been the most significant and memorialized communications with him by a U.S. government official prior to the issuance of the Carter Page FISA warrant.”

We Have Seen the Mueller Report –– And It’s Spectacular

1/
Special Counsel Robert Mueller is nearing the end of his 20-month probe into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. When the investigation closes he must provide the Attorney General with a confidential report explaining his prosecutorial decisions.

2/
In anticipation, some pundits warn us to dial down the enthusiasm. It'll be anti-climactic, they caution. Don’t expect a public report, some say. Ignore them. Pay attention to documents already filed. Through them, we/ve seen much of the Mueller Report. And it is spectacular 3/

Since Trump is twitterin' this morning about the Carter Page FISA materials the NYT and others obtained yesterday via FOIA litigation, here are some takeaway observations about the documents /1
Many of these observations were in my article last night which is here, but I'll convert them into bullet points for Twitter /2 nytimes.com/2018/07/21/us/…
The importance of seeing these docs is that the public can judge for itself whether Devin Nunes and HPSCI Republicans were telling the truth in February when attacking the FBI and Russia investigation on Trump's behalf; Dems said they were mischaracterizing the docs and lying. /3

CROWDSTRIKE: A Look Behind the Mask

The Deep State Plot to Frame Russia for a DNC Hack.

#QAnon #12Russians #MAGA #Crowdstrike #MuellerProbe #Rosenstein #Trump #MondayMotivaton @realDonaldTrump
Before we begin our dig into the Deep State's plot to frame Russia for a DNC hack...

Let's dive into a bit of Crowdstrike's history, their founders & execs, as well as other notable connections.

#QAnon #MAGA #Crowdstrike #12Russians #Trump #MuellerProbe @realDonaldTrump
Crowdstrike founder Dimitri Alperovitch is an anti-Putin Russian expat who's company was discredited over their revision & retraction of a report of Russian hacking of Ukrainian equipment. Crowdstrike's lack of credibility raises questions as the sole analyst of the DNC server.

Fusion GPS, a firm paid by Hillary Clinton’s campaign, was paying the wife of a senior Department of Justice official as part of its efforts to gather opposition
2) research on Trump, and the official then brought that research to the FBI — raising the question of to what extent the firm may have been attempting to pay for heightened access to the criminal justice system, & whether they would have hired her absent her spousal connection.
3) A declassified memo said Bruce “Ohr’s wife was employed by Fusion GPS to ASSIST in the cultivation of opposition research on Trump. Ohr later provided the FBI w/ALL of his WIFE'S opposition research, paid for by the #DNC and #ClintonCampaign via Fusion GPS.

#FusionGPS Transcript contradicts GOP argument #SteeleDossier was a political document. First, Steele went to FBI himself concerned Trump being blackmailed, fearing “national security threat” said Simpson 1/
2/When Steele met with FBI in Sept 2016, @FBI told him they had similar intelligence from “an internal Trump campaign source”, that is a “whistle-blower” inside Trump organization.
3/ #FusionGPS’s Simpson told Senate Judiciary that Steele reached out to FBI on his own and he alone selected content of the dossier, not DNC or Fusion
