All of it. But on Manafort, it was his perp walk yesterday. If I was back in class and the director asked me to describe his performance I would say his facial expression
was that of a martyr. Christlike. Joan of Arc.
No shame. Almost happy. At peace. I said all along he’d never talk. Not for fear of the Russians but out of Omerta. Old school. But he also had the hint of a secret. And Omerta doesn’t apply to traitors.
But a lot of what I'm seeing is technical. Twitter just dumped it's entire front end. Right after announcing they'll put a warning on Trump and dictator tweets. The bot filters are gone but so are a lot of the bots. I hope NSA are doing what have sought for years. Fight back.

1. On #DPRK: If you looked at my Twitter posts you will see several alarming calls for action going back to the early #Obama administration. I won't repeat them but after the launch of the DPRK ICBM, I observed subtle signs that we were preparing a preemptive strike.
2. Allowing Tokyo, Guam or Hawaii to be in range of a Korean first strike was bad, but the ICBM that I believe was powered by a Russian SS-18 (Satan) R-36 motor, was the last straw because it put DC in range. I had a suspicion that Mattis had gotten SLBM authority for
3. US launches and Russia and China may have even been advised to not consider the plumes an attack on them. I think the idea of killing several tens of millions of North Koreans was too much for Trump and that's what prompted his bizarre conduct leading to today.

1. I usually don't bite on the conservative three-piece trolls but it's Saturday and I'm feeling frisky. First, let me say right off that if @BretStephensNYT is a member of the @GOP and the @GOP is a white supremacist group then Bret is a white supremacist. It's elementary logic.
2. Bret uses the old standards in an attempt to portray the Democratic candidates as a fringe group of pro-immigrant lefties that has been the GOP play book since the fraud of conservatism was laid bare in the obscene Trump tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires.
3. Bret sets the terms of his own debate that makes it impossible for him to lose. This isn't about immigrants and it isn't about insurance. First on insurance single payer universal coverage is not some fanciful bizarre world that nobody thinks could work.

1. We don't like to admit it but Comey's violations of 6(e) and clear DOJ policy, that essentially threw the election to a candidate being assisted by our mortal enemy, was more than grounds for his dismissal. Trump ordered it for corrupt purpose. But Comey signed his own ticket.
2. And he was under a Hatch Act investigation when he was fired. How do I know that? I filed the Hatch Act complaint. Before the election. Why did Comey violate the rules? IMO he's #TheKochBrothers' boy. And as long as they are on the street
3. the Republic is at risk. #ThisIsNotADrill @maddow @Lawrence @MSNBC @FBIWFO @NSAGov

Yesterday, I watched as Robert David Steele suggested we exonerate ALL members of Congress and Senate AFTER they turn in the people that bribed them and blackmailed them. Full confessions and walk away from their positions. He wants the string pullers; not the puppets. Intrestng.
Please allow me to clarify: He said that if you perp walk the first few, the remainder will clam up and/or run. However, if he sees them getting fair shakes, they'll all turn on their masters. He said to GET THE MASTERS.
Link to interview for those that want details and to hear it from the horse's mouth...

#Manafort was given an excessively lenient sentence by a U.S. Federal judge who referred to him as "a very generous person"? Say it isn't so.

Hint: bribe, blackmail, offshore account
Sure the #Manafort sentencing should highlight the inequality in the Justice System that punishes impoverished people much stricter, but guys.. poor people can't bribe or blackmail their judges. Injustice is a by-product of corruption and indifference. Investigate Judge Ellis.
It isn't the numbers on his birth certificate that coerced the #Manafort sentencing but the numbers accumulating in his accounts. The US is plagued by corruption and kompromat. It's a crisis nobody is willing to tackle, it will only get worse.

#Manafort charging document for today's guilty plea includes details of his planting disinformation in US press to smear political rivals of his pro-Russia clients in Ukraine. Eg "Plant some stink on Tymo"—painting a female rival as a criminal who paid for murder. Sound familiar?
Manafort had used the same propaganda smear tactics in Ukraine that Trump rolled out in his campaign for president in 2016. Manafort not only had Tymo soliciting murder. He pushed tribal divisions, using "Obama Jews" & anti-Semitism to tarnish her. assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4883…
#Manafort manipulated the media with disinformation and then used those planted news stories to manipulate US govt: "I have someone pushing it on the NY Post. Bada bing bada boom…The Jewish community will take this out on Obama on election day if he does nothing.”

Manafort trial: we have the transcript.

How did the Special Counsel piss off Judge Ellis?

What type of immunity deals did the Special Counsel give the witnesses?

Let's start w/ the testimony of accused embezzler Rick Gates.

[THREAD]
After going over Gates' background, Special Counsel sets out their crimina enterprise.

Were you involved in criminal activity?

Gates: Yes.

Did you commit crimes with Mr. Manafort?

Gates: Yes.
Gov't introduces the Gates plea agreement.

Judge Ellis notes that he pleaded for the DC case and not the EDVA case they're currently trying.

It will be up to the DC judge to determine whether Gates' cooperation was adequate.

#Manafort's Virginia trial begins today—1st of 2 for Trump's Campaign Manager whose shady work for pro-Russia oligarchs in Ukraine were well known. Mueller team will tell this story thru 18 counts of financial crimes. They'll likely also establish debt/cash flow problems by 2016.
#Manafort trial update: Federal judge approves jury of 6 men and 6 women to hear Special Counsel Mueller’s case. The panel of jurors deciding fmr Trump campaign mgr’s fate was plucked from Fairfax County, a part of Virginia that voted heavily against Trump abcn.ws/2AqQ9i9
#Manafort Trial: Mueller Team Opening Statement Paints Manafort as "shrewd liar," rich cheat & thief who acted above the law. Mind-blowing resemblance betw Manafort & disgraced patron Yanukovych, who also happens to be on trial now—for treason in Ukraine. cnn.com/2018/07/31/pol…

1) The memo will be released. The release of it can't be stopped. It will take awhile. Maybe this week, could be next week.

2) The missing 5 months of texts messages between Strzok/Page were not 'destroyed'. A redundant system for the FBI's use failed to collect them.
3) The carrier on who's service the texts were sent will have them. The NSA & other intelligence services that collect raw comms will have them. They will be obtained by Horowitz & Sessions through a subpoena.
4) The usual suspects are already blogging that Horowitz claimed he got all the text messages he asked for and lied for months about knowing that 5 months worth were missing.

This is false.
