@RepTedLieu "Michael lets go. 2 boys from Brooklyn getting a USA president elected. This is good really good."

#RetweetTheReport

@RepTedLieu "The project required approval from the Russian national government."

And they spent 2 years lying about it while KNOWING they were getting Russian help to win the election.

#RetweetTheReport

@RepTedLieu "Trump Tower Moscow was potentially a $1 billion deal."

#RetweetTheReport

@RepTedLieu The Russian government called what they did "information warfare."

#RetweetTheReport

@RepTedLieu They pretended to be Americans.

#RetweetTheReport

@RepTedLieu Their military attacked the DNC and the Clinton Campaign.

Their military.

#RetweetTheReport

@RepTedLieu They broke into the DNC and stole documents. Then they give those documents to WikiLeaks.

Roger Stone had ADVANCED knowledge.

#RetweetTheReport

@RepTedLieu George Papadopoulos knew TWO MONTHS before the first dump that Russia had stolen the documents.

#RetweetTheReport

@RepTedLieu The Trump campaign couldn't WAIT for more.

They planned THEIR ENTIRE STRATEGY around the thefts from the Russian MILITARY.

#RetweetTheReport

@RepTedLieu The Trump campaign KNEW the Russians were helping them.

When Don Jr heard they wanted to meet at Trump Tower as "part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump" he didn't even blink.

#RetweetTheReport

@RepTedLieu Meanwhile, Jared Kushner went right to a pro-Russia think tank to get advice on FOREIGN POLICY professionals.

#RetweetTheReport

@RepTedLieu Dmitri Simes - the leader of the pro-Russia think tank used an oligarch close to Putin to write Trump's first foreign policy speech.

#RetweetTheReport

@RepTedLieu Then Kushner and Simes met throughout the 2016 campaign season.

"How to address issues relating to Russia."

Simes has since fled to Russia.

#RetweetTheReport

@RepTedLieu Mueller describes this communication path from Putin to Kushner in his report.

#RetweetTheReport

@RepTedLieu Trump's campaign manager met with a Russian spy throughout the campaign. And afterwards.

#RetweetTheReport

@RepTedLieu Manafort passed the Russian spy internal campaign polling data with the understanding it would be shared with a close friend of Putin, Oleg Deripaska.

#RetweetTheReport

@RepTedLieu Meanwhile, the Trump campaign was thrilled they were getting that extra help Russia told them they would get.

They never told the FBI. But oh wells.

#RetweetTheReport

@RepTedLieu It took LESS than FIVE HOURS for the Russian military to attack Hillary Clinton after Trump asked them to.

#RetweetTheReport

@RepTedLieu (In case you haven't figured it out yet, YES - there was a ridiculous amount of coordination, even though Mueller never found a "let's collude" contract.)

But wait! There's more!

#RetweetTheReport

@RepTedLieu Trump foreign policy advisor, Carter Page, showed up in Moscow right smack in the middle of campaign season to give a speech to Russians that America sucks.

#RetweetTheReport

@RepTedLieu The Mueller team admitted that they never got to the bottom of that visit.

#RetweetTheReport

@RepTedLieu After the election there were all types of contacts between Russians and Trump's people.

Jared wanted to know who he could talk to that had direct access to Putin. He thought maybe they could chat at the Russian embassy from time to time!

#RetweetTheReport

@RepTedLieu He met up with Gorkov in December of 2016. Who KNOWS what they talked about. Mueller didn't get to the bottom of that either.

#RetweetTheReport

@RepTedLieu Carter Page made another trip to Russia in December.

Don't know what that was about either. Weird though.

#RetweetTheReport

@RepTedLieu Then there was the Seychelles meeting brokered by a child sex trafficker.

#RetweetTheReport

@RepTedLieu Mueller never got a clear picture what that was about either.

Bannon and Prince deleted all their text messages.

#RetweetTheReport

@RepTedLieu Kirill Dmitriev, who was at the Seychelles meeting, also worked with Kushner buddy Rick Gerson to deliver a Putin-supported "reconciliation plan" to incoming SOS Tillerson.

#RetweetTheReport

@RepTedLieu And that's pretty much all you need to know about Volume I of the #MuellerReport.

Oh, and yeah. Putin won.
