Here's the reality: The FBI, CIA, NSA, DNI, DOJ and Congress say Russia hacked the Democrats in 2016. But the President believes a conspiracy theory that Ukraine did it. He has believed this for years. Top WH officials tried to convince him that it was Russia, to no avail.
This comes from the testimony of Fiona Hill, who was the top Russia adviser on the WH National Security Council. She aid it was a "debunked theory" that Ukraine framed the Russian government for the DNC hacks in 2016.
Hill continued, "the Ukrainian Government did not interfere in our election in 2016." Asked by GOP staff about a Politico article on alleged DNC-Ukraine contacts. She said, "that doesn't mean that that amounts to an operation by the Ukrainian Government." politico.com/story/2017/01/…

House Democrats hoped for a swift investigation, with potential impeachment votes by Thanksgiving. But that schedule is slowing down a bit -- because each witness so far has provided more leads for investigators to chase, sources tell @mkraju @jeremyherb cnn.com/2019/10/21/pol…
@mkraju @jeremyherb Plus, Democrats have had to reschedule several witnesses, including some this week in part because of memorial services for the late-Rep. Elijah Cummings, and others because they needed more time to retain lawyers. cnn.com/2019/10/21/pol…
Plus, there are some more time-consuming steps as part of the probe, potentially trying to bring in big names like John Bolton, then holding public hearings before a report they're expected to write with recommendations — all before any votes in the House. cnn.com/2019/10/21/pol…

New details on the Justice Department review of the Russia probe, led by Barr and Durham: Some witnesses have already been interviewed, at least two people refused to talk, and Durham hasn't interviewed anyone from the CIA yet. (h/t @evanperez @kpolantz) cnn.com/2019/10/18/pol…
@evanperez @kpolantz Barr has traveled overseas for the probe. But British officials have expressed reluctance to become part of US political infighting , and have pointed to information they provided to US law enforcement in 2016, according to a person briefed on the matter. cnn.com/2019/10/18/pol…
@evanperez @kpolantz Durham's review is far from over -- so any potential conclusions from it could be made public close to the 2020 election. Timing will be absolutely critical.... remember Comey's press conference in July 2016? (The DOJ IG review said he was wrong to do it.) cnn.com/2019/10/18/pol…

#Russia Has Compromising Information on Trump, former KGB chief Oleg Kalugin says windowoneurasia2.blogspot.com/2019/09/moscow…
Ex KGB Chief Kalugin says he saw documents about the kompromat collected from Trump's USSR visits. He says the compromising material is w/ girls/prostitutes. He states Russia's KGB has a very long memory & can wait decades before using its kompromat. Trump knows this, he says.
Kalugin says KGB sent Trump girls assigned to sleep w/ foreigners. This was SOP w/ visiting Americans—USSR's primary collection target. He doesn't rule out that Trump's wives—both from modeling agencies (where KGB recruited)—had been recruited by KGB too.👀gordonua.com/publications/k…

#RussianAsset much?? Trump's been hiding details of his encounters w/ Putin. So there's no detailed record of their 5 interactions in the past 2 yrs. Unusual for any POTUS, let alone one Russia sought to install thru an unprecedented interference campaign washingtonpost.com/world/national…
Trump's gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal details of his conversations wi/ Putin—from even his own admin. No wonder FBI thinks he's working for Russia. This is so outrageous. And incredibly stupid. You can bet the Kremlin has recorded every word. washingtonpost.com/world/national…
#RussianAsset Trump told Putin "I believe you" when Putin denied Russian involvement in US election, according to the interpreter (whose notes he seized!) at Hamburg G20 meeting in 2017. That's also when Trump admitted he spoke w/ Putin about "adoptions" ie Magnitsky #sanctions.

Russian blockade of Kerch Strait near Crimea, backed up by Russian military helicopters, cuts off Ukraine from Sea of Azov in Black Sea naval standoff haaretz.com/world-news/rus…
#Russia accused of firing on and capturing 3 of #Ukraine's ships in naval standoff following Russia's blockade of the Kerch Strait aljazeera.com/news/2018/11/u…
With Russia escalating its war against Ukraine & Trump and Putin slated to rendezvous at the G20 this week, re-upping this thread on the humiliating Helsinki summit.

The odds of this US admin defending Ukraine's sovereignty and security is nil.

#Putin's opening to this press conference suggests the takeover of southern #Syria by Asad/Iran is a model of U.S.-Russia cooperation that should be expanded, and flatters Trump that his summit with Kim [which Putin very much liked the look of] resolved the Korean Peninsula.
On #Ukraine, Putin hints broadly that the U.S. agrees with him that Kyiv's intransigence prevented Minsk's implementation, and then carefully lets it be known Trump brought up the election meddling, an assist to Trump politically, before of course dismissing it.
Trump frames engagement around U.S.-Russian co-operation in WW2, notes that unfortunate Cold War business, then says: "Our relationship has never been worse ... that changed as of about four hours ago." Says he is being politically brave to do what's right. Lambastes media + Dems
