Last year, Ukrainian lawmakers admitted that Poroshenko's government halted cooperation with Mueller regarding Manafort/corruption because they didn't want to upset Trump while they were buying US anti-tank missiles. This seems strangely forgotten. nytimes.com/2018/05/02/wor…
Maybe this story got overlooked because some of the same conduct was cited in a much more sensation BBC story that they ended up retracting. But the stopped-cooperating-with-Mueller-to-please-Trump-while-buying-arms piece was not disputed. theguardian.com/media/2019/mar….
Gotta wonder if there was a deal, implicit or real re Manafort/Manafort that set the stage for the possible quid pro quo Trump and Rudy dangled regarding the Bidens.

Michael Flynn and George Papadopoulos are scheduled to speak at conference organized by a QAnon supporter, and which features on its website an American flag with a big Q on it. motherjones.com/?p=773938
After months of egging on right wing sorta conspiracy theories of the "#Spygate" variety, and some apparent wink at crazier QAnon types, Flynn and Papadopoulos are going fuller Q now, for $.
Not the most convincing denial.

The transcript in the Mueller report from the voicemail that Trump's lawyer John Dowd left for Rob Kelner, Flynn's lawyer, after Dowd realized Flynn had likely cut a deal with prosecutors left out some possibly significant words. soundcloud.com/kadhim-shubber… …
Seeming to chose his words carefully, Dowd lays out two possibilities, taking pains to distinguish them. 1. Flynn is cooperating and hence must leave the joint defense agreement. 2. Flynn is cooperating and is giving prosecutors information "that implicates the president."
Then Dowd says, "if it's the former" -- meaning the first possibility where Flynn is not providing information that implicates the president -- "remember what we've always said about the president and his feeling toward Flynn and that all that still remains."

Trump Jr. agreed to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee in June. nytimes.com/2019/05/14/us/…
Trump Jr. will be asked about his statements to Congress about the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting and the Trump Moscow project, a Senate aide says. The Mueller report raised questions about the veracity of Trump Jr.'s claims to lawmakers on those topics. motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
Times says he agreed to only talk about "a half dozen" topics. But a Senate aide says that is "MEANINGLESS" because the committee sends every witness a list of topics and they're quite broad. Jr. did get a time limit, but aide says doesn't matter because panel has enough time.

#Mueller's already dealt fatal blows to Trump & GOP propagandists. He said 1) he didn’t indict b/c of OLC memo, 2) "no collusion no obstruction, total exoneration" is false, & 3) he won't address "origins" of the probe or Steele dossier b/c they’re under review. #MuellerHearing
@RepJerryNadler @HouseJudiciary 🤯🙄A Republican Sensenbrenner actually asked #Mueller this question: If you knew from the outset that your office wasn't going to indict the president (b/c OLC guideline prevented it), why even investigate him?
#MuellerHearings #MuellerHearing
@RepJerryNadler @HouseJudiciary #Mueller is calm but not exactly poker-faced. He just gave a disgusted sneer at crazy Louis Gohmert shouting that Trump "wasn't obstructing justice, he was pursuing justice because he's INNOCENT"! Even the gallery laughed. #MuellerHearings #MuellerHearing

This article has provoked a lot of commentary today. Most of the commentary from the the left has been alarmist, though some (like @SethAbramson) have been dismissive. I don’t think either response is appropriate. 1/16
There was every reason to expect that Mueller would go into action again shortly after the election; we didn’t need this article to know that. 2/16

Trump’s threat to pardon Manafort must be taken seriously. Trump wouldn't pardon Manafort for anything Manafort did in connection with the campaign #manafort
1/ (that would strip Manafort of his Fifth Amendment protection for those matters): only for the financial crimes involved in the two court cases. #manafort
2/ This pardon would thereby remove all the pressure Manafort is under to be a cooperating witness against Trump for collusion, and would still leave Manafort with Fifth Amendment protection over the collusion/conspiracy matter.

1) "CLEAN GMAIL"

My theory about why #PeterStrzok sent #LisaPage this text message.

It connects a #Qanon post to Google & plot to frame @POTUS for collision, and may provide insight into how #NSA has the info.

#QAnon #WWG1WGA @POTUS #GreatAwakenening #redpill #ReleaseTheTexts
2) Yesterday's #Q post exposes the use of the #Gmail draft communication trick, whereby you share an account with other(s) and instead of sending email, you save it as a draft for the other person(s) to read.

#QAnon #WWG1WGA @POTUS #GreatAwakenening #redpill #ReleaseTheTexts
3) This was made famous by former #CIA director General Patreaus & mistress. Which was a head scratcher. Why would #PeterStrzok & #LisaPage (+others) use same technique Patreaus was busted using?
