@MarshallCohen @kguerrerocnn 1/ Your article floats at least one conspiracy theory that's already been debunked. You say: "RT even published articles detailing the new batches of emails before WikiLeaks officially released them, suggesting that they were coordinating behind the scenes."
@MarshallCohen @kguerrerocnn 2/ But RT already addressed this in 2016, convincingly if you read the sequence of events they lay out: the Podesta emails appeared on the WikiLeaks website before WikiLeaks sent a tweet about it. Ignoring that allows for the conspiracy theory you propose. rt.com/viral/362696-r…
@MarshallCohen @kguerrerocnn 3/ It's ridiculous to suggest that RT-Wikileaks "were coordinating behind the scenes" based on the fact that RT tweeted about the Podesta emails AFTER they appeared on WL's site, but BEFORE WL tweeted about them. You're implicating RT in a conspiracy... for doing journalism.

Not surprised at all. Dems don’t realize that Mueller’s disingenuous presser was the best he could give them. Subjecting him to critical questions — there are many to ask — is the worst thing they could give him, and themselves.
Post-report, we’ve seen Mueller’s disingenuousness exposed: Kilimnik had extensive US ties that were minimized; Mueller team had to admit IRA, Russian troll farm, was not the Russian govt, & was rebuked by judge for suggesting otherwise;
Mueller had to issue a joint statement w/ Barr clarifying his misleading remarks; and more. My read is that he’s delaying testimony to buy himself as little Congressional scrutiny as possible when he finally appears.

“American Commandos Gear Up for New Shadow War With Russia” — on Russia’s borders. What could go wrong?
By aligning anti-Trump sentiment with Cold War jingoism, Russiagate has helped normalize in liberal circles a hawkish, confrontational posture towards the world’s other top nuclear power. One of many reasons why some of us leftists push back on it.
US forces are conducting "mission rehearsals & other operations" & "one of the largest US-led exercises... a mock assault on the Baltic coast near Russia."

How about those dastardly Russians? Sharing an "article on social media platforms" & "a mysterious mass text." 😱

Federal judge has issued a significant rebuke of a core Mueller claim. Mueller claims that the IRA -- a Russian troll farm -- was the 2nd of "two principal interference operations" by Russian gov't. But as judge notes, Mueller's implied link between IRA & Russian gov't was false:
This is a major blow not just to Mueller but to the entire "Russian Active Measures" talking point. As the judge acknowledges, the IRA (which, btw, put out juvenile clickbait mostly unrelated to the election) is a private entity & Mueller never establishes a Kremlin connection.
I point out this disconnect in my latest piece: Mueller says the social media operation was the 2nd major component of a "sweeping and systematic" Russian gov't interference campaign -- yet he never actually shows how it's connected to the Russian gov't. realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2019/…

"Despite being confined to the embassy, Assange met w/Russians & world-class hackers at critical moments...He acquired new computing & network hardware to facilitate data transfers weeks before WikiLeaks received hacked materials from Russian operatives."

cnn.com/2019/07/15/pol…
"Assange issued a special list of people who were able to enter the embassy w/out showing ID or being searched by security. He was granted the power to delete names from visitor logs. To avoid surveillance cameras, Assange occasionally met guests inside the women's bathroom."
"Throughout Assange's stay at the embassy, Ecuador employed three security companies to conduct constant surveillance. Assange installed his own recording devices and used noise machines to stymie the snooping."

The hard-working word "potentially" undermines every statement in this entire article, and constitutes a confession that no actual evidence tying Assange to Russia exists. Still gotta marvel at the sheer gall of whichever intelligence agency helped leak this info.
Reporting this completely unsubstantiated claim as fact is an admission that this is a blatant smear piece by @CNN. The fact that they claim to be in possession of mountains of surveillance footage yet have no evidence of this means it should be regarded as pure fabrication.
This is hilarious. The beginning of the article mentions "Russians and world-class hackers" in the same breath like they're the same thing. Not until paragraph FORTY-THREE do they bother mentioning that the hacker in question is German with no known connection to Russia at all.

One conspiracy theory I enjoy is that feminism is a method where women shame men for pursuit/overly masculine behaviors, with the goal of weeding out the men too weak to disobey the women. All the guys who ignore the rules, get laid.
Another is that more women enjoy sexual submission than men enjoy sexual domination - the theory being that evolution reduced the 'sexual domination' numbers so that fewer men would have sex with more women, with the male subs functioning like 'gay uncles' - unlaid support
Another is that a woman gains status among other women when she complains about sexual assault/harassment; the more harassment you get, the sexier you are, and unattractive women gain disproportionate advantage from talking about harassment.

#NEW: Rick Gates told Mueller that he and Manafort shared Trump Campaign Polling Data in 2016 w/ Konstantin Kilimnik, who has ties to Russian Intelligence.

In new unsealed court docs, it was revealed that Gates was at least one source for the revelation.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
#BREAKING: In new court filing, it was revealed that Konstantin Kilimnik...WAS IN DC FOR THE INAUGURATION.

The Manafort and Gates associate, with ties to Russian Intelligence, met with Manafort about the "Russia-Ukraine peace plan."

#REDFLAG: In court transcripts, Andrew Weissman, senior Mueller prosecutor, suggested Konstantin Kilimnik's relationship w/ Manafort & Gates...TIES DIRECTLY TO #CONSPIRACY/COLLUSION.

“This goes...very much to the heart of what the [SCO] is investigating.”

Conspiracy speculation I will now advance in all seriousness.
I suspect there is no sexual harassment claim against @GarrettVentry. I believe that he falsified his resume etc, or at least, I don’t care. But the media has quite possibly been thrown a bone to distract them from /1
This is who Garrett Ventry is. He works for CRC Public Relations Firm.
And, until today, he worked for @ChuckGrassley, as a communications advisor, on leave of absence from his job with CRC. He was recommended by the Federalist Society to the republican Senators of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

.@RepJerryNadler blasts House Republicans for holding an emergency hearing on Clinton's #emails while being completely disinterested about the family separation crisis Trump created, the president's conflicts of interest, or really conducting oversight of any sort
NADLER: "POTUS & some of his closest advisors are under investigation for having participated in a criminal conspiracy w/a foreign power against the US. That is an emergency. The president practically confessed to on television he obstructed justice. That is an emergency."
