NEW: A recently disclosed memo reveals that Blackwater-founder-turned-unofficial-2016-Trump-campaign-adviser Erik Prince advocated to the campaign for the killing of Soleimani as early as 2015.

Great reporting by @kpolantz: cnn.com/2020/01/11/pol…
@kpolantz "[Soleimani] is the Heinrich Himmler of the Iranian State," Prince wrote in a September 8, 2015 memo to Steve Bannon, who forwarded it to then-campaign manager Corey Lewandowski. "That Soleimani and his ilk are not already DEAD is a national disgrace for America."
@kpolantz After CNN's story today, Prince commented to me: "My advice on Soleimani was correct in 2015 as was my plan for 2018 for rationalization in Afghanistan. The President knows the current Afghan paradigm is fatally flawed. I hope he soon listens to different voices there too."

Just months into his presidency, a small circle of senior WH advisers met with Trump about a curated list containing the names of dozens of perceived political opponents, particularly leakers, working inside the government.

My latest for @CNN w @vmsalama:cnn.com/2020/03/07/pol…
The political plotting in the early days of Trump's presidency provides a window into a 3-year effort by Trump and his loyalists to identify and expunge suspected "deep state" opponents from the WH and other parts of the government, a move that was kept at bay until recent weeks.
Removing government officials seen as disloyal to the President has unfolded in earnest since Trump was impeached but not removed from office—and there are no signs the purges will let up.

NEW: Videos and photographs obtained exclusively by CNN show Lev Parnas has lots more to share. They could plague Rudy Giuliani—and ultimately the President—well after impeachment has passed. cnn.com/2020/02/07/pol…
The images obtained by CNN are of trips that provide a peek into relationships Giuliani has not been willing to discuss, specifically work he's done for legally embattled foreign clients whose interests could intersect with his most prominent client—the President.
Asked about the trip, Giuliani told CNN that he could not discuss details because it is a matter of "national security." Giuliani is currently under federal investigation, but has not been charged with any crimes.

DOJ revealed late Fri that it has 24 emails related to Trump's involvement in the withholding of security assistance to Ukraine. It marks the first official acknowledgment from the administration that emails about Trump's thinking related to the aid exist. cnn.com/2020/02/01/pol…
The filing—released near midnight, just hours after the Senate vote against subpoenaing documents & witnesses in the impeachment trial—is the first official acknowledgment from the administration that Trump was directly involved in asking about & deciding on aid as early as June.
Per @kpolantz: "The administration is still blocking those emails from the public and has successfully kept them from Congress."

🈲 DRAGON FISA
@SergeiMillian
Today, I announce one man campaign to repeal FISA against American Citizens. 🇺🇸#RepealFISA
What some of my fellow Americans should know is when a #FISA is applied to an AMERICAN citizen, he or she becomes an #institutionalized #slave and #property with all constitutional rights and all protections removed as well as totally deprived of all civil liberties and privacy.
Intel officials abused their positions to discredit opposition to the Dem. Party, of which they were a part of with leaks to the media they control, they abused the public’s faith in their superior knowledge to vilify their domestic polit. enemies from behind secrecy’s shield.

#Trump admin’s open boastful assassination of #Iran's IRGC #Soleimani marks turning point. US re-written rules of engagement & exposed every American boot on ground in Middle East to possible retaliatory attacks.Trump exponentially increased chances of conflict in election year.
2/#Iran’s Supreme National Security Council meets to discuss response to #Soleimani assassination. Likely to be multi-track (incl nuclear issue) across different time lines. Space for voices in system to argue for moderated steps diminished& internal actors forced to shift right.
3/ Wrong to think #Soleimani’s assassination can undermine #IRGC capacity/ops/roll back Iran in region. He was extremely popular within the system but others in similar rank- trained alongside him- will likely take over leading Quds force. See @nargesbajoghli’s analysis on this.

BREAKING: This could be far bigger than we think

Bloomberg has reported Mueller is probing the below Trump-Russia deal, the implication being it might've been money laundering

Trump is believed to have met Rybolovlev/an agent of his twice in the 10 days before the 2016 election
2/ The two men's planes met on airstrips twice in the 10 days before the 2016 election and Rybolovlev's team refused to say if he was on the plane. The deal the men did years ago has all the signs of money laundering. The pre-election meetings would then imply collusion for cash.
3/ On an emergency basis I'm now releasing 2 additional excerpts from PROOF OF COLLUSION, both relating to the Trump-Rybolovlev deal that now looks more and more like a collusive deal touching upon the 2016 election (right-click and download to see a larger version of the image):
