That big Russian investment in Kentucky was already in the works when the U.S. government sanctioned Oleg Deripaska. Is that why #MoscowMitch was so eager to help Trump lift sanctions?

The Kremlin really, *really* wanted Trump to visit Russia during the 2016 election. We broke down the Mueller report to find every time somebody suggested he take the trip. #BDMR

And it isn't just Trump—Kremlin-allied politicians in France, Germany, and Italy have taken similar trips right as Russia attacked their democracies, too. #BDMR themoscowproject.org/breaking-down-…
Those invitations look like a key part of Russia's strategy. Trump's team needs to explain why they kept the messages secret—starting with Corey Lewandowski, who received at least two of the invitations and is scheduled to testify tomorrow. #BDMR themoscowproject.org/breaking-down-…

The White House wants to draw out the legal battle over Don McGahn's testimony as long as possible.
While we wait, here are just some of the witnesses the House could call to investigate whether Trump committed impeachable offenses:
themoscowproject.org/memos/recommen…
Donald Trump Jr. is a no-brainer. Not only was he part of collusion during the campaign, he never worked in the White House and therefore can’t invoke executive privilege—plus, he, like his dad, refused to let Mueller interview him.
themoscowproject.org/memos/recommen…
Michael Cohen was part of Trump’s misconduct going back more than a decade, including the efforts to develop Trump Tower Moscow and hide information about Trump’s affairs during the campaign. He's basically an expert on how Trump runs his cover-ups. themoscowproject.org/memos/recommen…

THREAD: How can the U.S. stand up to Russian attacks on our democracy? Our new report looks at other countries where Russia tried to interfere to see how we can fight their efforts in 2020: (1/9) americanprogress.org/issues/securit…
The 2017 presidential election in France saw expansive Russian efforts to hurt Emmanuel Macron and help Marine Le Pen. But, in part thanks to efforts by the government and media to identify and combat misinformation, the attacks didn’t succeed. (2/9) americanprogress.org/issues/securit…
France’s 44-hour pre-election media blackout also helped, as did the decision by Macron and his political party to communicate openly and extensively about the hacking attempts it had faced. (3/9)

No surprise Oleg #Deripaska didn't give up actual control of his companies to evade sanctions. He placed 3.4% of his shares in a company owned by his 2 children. Plenty of money flowed through this lobbying efforts. How much landed up in the pockets of #GOP Senators and Mnuchin?
#Deripaska's kids get 3.4% in a trust controlled by the oligarch, his New Jersey lawyer Ogier got another portion in a trust and the remainder of the shares went back to VTB - the Putin-aligned state bank which bankrolls Deripaska. reut.rs/2sUJsOG . @traciemac_Bmore
In short, Russian oligarch Oleg #Deripaska has so much control over the executive branch and the #GOP, he can easily overturn laws he doesn't like - even ones designed to punish him for major crimes. That's how serious this situation really is. Russia runs U.S. @NarativLive
