QUESTION: How do we know that when top Trump campaign NatSec adviser Michael Flynn was working on behalf of Turkey to plot (to please Erdogan) the kidnapping of a Turkish cleric living in Pennsylvania, he wasn't doing so with Trump's knowledge? Flynn didn't do so much to hide it.
1/ Flynn was working on other secret projects to benefit foreign nations that folks on the campaign knew about, and as to Turkey attended poorly hidden meetings to plot the kidnapping. Trump seemed concerned about Flynn flipping and post-election did work to extradite the cleric.
2/ So now he writes Erdogan and says he worked hard to deliver on what Erdogan wanted, and one of the main things he wanted was the extradition of a cleric we know Trump worked to extradite post-election.

So how do we know Trump wasn't aware of *pre-election* efforts to do this?

Did Canada have a Beatles? No! But they had the Collectors.

Goodnight, all.
PS/ I'm vetoing all references to the Guess Who. *But* I will admit (keeping in mind that I was only thinking of sixties bands here) that I'd forgotten The Band. Were Robbie Robertson and the boys a "Canadian Beatles"? ... no. And I think they'd agree. But they were pretty great!
PS2/ I also beg the forgiveness of the *Buffalo Springfield*. They were by no means trying to be Beatlesesque, but if there's one sixties singer I could morph into for a day I'd probably choose Stills at the moment he performed "For What It's Worth" on TV:

CONFIRMED: Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) Has Been Secretly Following This Twitter Feed
1/ I'm now thinking of the many... *many* times my Twitter threads must have basically taken over Mitt Romney's secret Twitter feed
2/ I just want to underscore that no criticism of Romney is intended. I'm excited because it means Romney is better informed than I thought, and may well have read—or had others summarize for him, to the extent that's possible—my recent book PROOF OF CONSPIRACY (Macmillan, 2019).

Just got back on Twitter after a few hours off to find that everyone is saying Mitt Romney follows me through a secret account... what?
Apparently it's connected to this SLATE article: slate.com/news-and-polit…
So according to Twitter user @MapsMetta, "Here are 696 accounts that the alleged Romney burner [@qaws9876] follows" (captured, the poster claims, before the locking of the account). I can't vouch for this list but it's the only one available and was posted in the right timeframe:

‼️WHISTLEBLOWER THEORY‼️

Let’s take the Biden ’dirt’ hunt aspect out of the story & set it aside as a horrific diversion for now.

The truth is much worse.

Remember the Cohen, Sater, Flynn, Manafort & Artemenko “Ukrainian Peace Plan” circa Feb 2017?

Putin quid pro quo?

#RobertMueller will be testifying before the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees on July 17.

Here are some crucial questions that should be asked when he testifies (Thread 👇). | Article by Jeff Carlson @themarketswork theepochtimes.com/33-key-questio…
1) Did #AttorneyGeneral Barr in any way misrepresent your 448-page report?

#Mueller failed to identify the grand jury info in the #MuellerReport. Barr noted that “it immediately meant that you know it was going to be a period of weeks before we could get the report out.”
2) Who actually wrote Volume I and Volume II of the #MuellerReport?

At this point, it isn’t known with certainty if #Mueller had any hand in writing the report directly, or if he simply served in an oversight capacity.

The OSC, which can seek corrective and disciplinary action, is looking at whether officials were retaliated against for raising concerns about the administration’s work related to a Saudi nuclear deal.

As part of that investigation, OSC has also reviewed allegations about potentially improper dealings by senior members of the Trump administration in their attempt to map out a nuclear deal with Riyadh.

Preparations appear to be underway for a pro-#Assad offensive on #Idlib.

12hrs of on/off air & artillery strikes vs. southeastern & western #Idlib & northern #Hama - see marks on map (original by @ETANA_Syria + my additions).

+ multiple large pro-regime convoys moving north.
@ETANA_Syria #pt: If/when any major military campaign gets underway, expect the #Assad regime (+ #Russia & #Iran-backed militias) to focus on these 2 fronts:

1) West #Idlib (Jisr al-Shughour)
2) N. #Hama/#SE #Idlib (Latamineh, Khan Sheikhoun, Kafrazita)

-> a gradual push ‘inland’ & north.
@ETANA_Syria Very good by @theIRC’s @DMiliband:

- The West must “re-assert” itself & protect civilians in NW #Syria & as a backstop, safe-routes should be opened for civilians to flee into #Turkey.

- UNSC must demand full access to S #Syria; for aid, monitoring etc.
