THREAD 4 pages 301-400 of the 966 page Senate Intelligence Committee’s #Volume5 counterintelligence report into Russian interference. The June 9th trump tower meeting is in these 100 pages. I hope you will read them for yourself and arrive at your own conclusions.
👇🏻
Pg 302 read the footnotes. Agalarov hired trump’s translator for a trip he took to Moscow when he put on the Miss Universe pageant. The same Agalarov that would show up with ‘translators’ to the trump tower meeting with jr, Kushner and Manafort June 9th to deliver dirt on HRC.
Pg 319 remember that time trump said he had no dealings with Russia? That he was unaware of plans for a trump tower Moscow? Also, remember how his signature looks like a seismograph reading an earthquake? Maybe he lied about that. This is from 2013.
Pg 325 Foot notes folks! This shows there was at least one Russian who knew trump was going to be running for president before the American voters did.
Pg 327 Setting the Dwight Schrute-ish declaratory ‘It’s your birthday’ greeting aside, trump manages to reference himself 6 times in a note that only has 6 lines.
Pg 327-328 Goldstone is responsible for setting up the trump tower meeting in June related to jr, Kushner and Manafort awaiting what they hoped would be an update on the Wikileaks hack operation. Goldstone apologized to jr, it wasn’t dirt. Tell me again this isn’t coordination?
Pg 329 Why isn’t it a good idea to ‘connect the dots’ and use a Russian Facebook like platform for a presidential candidate? Answer below:
Pg 336 oh nothing, just the president who did not collude with any Russians sending a note to one of his Russian handlers in response to their request to send them taped conversations he had with reporters. Ya know, ‘in case he should ever need them.’
Pg 343 You’ve seen me mention Magnitsky, in this thread and others. Always read footnotes. This is context for the trump tower meeting. In prior pgs, there are mentions of Rohrabacher (House Min Leader McCarthy said he thinks he works for the Russians) and there are [REDACTIONS]
Pg 345 Enter Louis Freeh. The fact that a former FBI Director’s name being associated with Russian organized crime in this report is not redacted seems like foreshadowing to me.
Pg 346 FARA much? Foreign Agent Registration Act required Americans to register as working on behalf of another government. Like Mike Flynn was supposed to but didn’t. Surely a former FBI Director would know about this violation.
Pg 354 Rinat Akmetshin, present in the June 9th trump tower meeting attended by jr., Kushner and Manafort. The Republican led Senate Intel Cmte assessed him to be connected to Russian intel. Releasing this report under cover of the DNC is the biggest news dump of all time.
Pg 361. Know collusion part III. #TheyKnew senate Republicans on the Intel Committee were aware of what is contained in these pages during the Impeachment hearing. They voted against witnesses. They gave the president cover. This must be viewed in full context.
Pg 381 Remember when jr. was disappointed by a bait and switch? How is it possible they were not expecting Wikileaks update on dirt on Hillary? But then at the last minute, the Russian intelligence service wants the meeting to be about making Magnitsky Act a campaign issue.
Pg 384 I am trying to be as honest and use as little hyperbole about this as possible. To try to get the facts out. These little details are important. 9 tweets ago, I meant it when I said Goldstone apologized.
Pg 385 But what did he apologize for? jr not receiving the dirt he wanted, that’s what.
Well troops, this was a rather fascinating 100 pages of Vol 5 of the Senate Intel Committee’s counterintel investigation into trump and Russia during the last election. Imagine what they might be up to right now in this election. Wash your hands, wear a mask VOTE. #TheyKnew

It’s been a while since we’ve used the wayback machine. Let’s see how it holds up on a short trip. We’re going to go on a journey back to a time before trump was president.
Don’t get too excited. It’s to do with aid to Ukraine.
A wee thread🧵👇🏻
On July 28, 2016, in Cleveland at the Republican National Committee, the GOP removed a single issue from their party platform. Essentially, it became trump policy to no longer provide aid to Ukraine.
A delegate said it was taken out by trump’s people.
But that’s a bit awkward because the newly minted GOP Nominee eventually ended up telling Robert Mueller he didn’t recall. Strange because trump, has like a great memory. And his uncle was like, a physicist or something.🤷🏼♂️
There will no doubt be a lot said by smarter people than I about this ruling in the GA v trump et al. case, but I would like to offer two important thoughts I hope they don’t miss.
Firstly, please understand the danger. Look at what just happened. The whole country has been on edge awaiting this ruling because it determined whether or not a former president accused of some gangster shit, might get away with it because of some more gangster shit.
This dude is so dangerous to prosecute, a former GOVERNOR declined to be the special prosecutor because of safety concerns. This dude is so dangerous because he has a dangerous crew. I don’t how to lay this out clearly for people to understand so please bear with me as I try.
Have you heard of Project 2025? It’s a ‘Playbook’. You can read the whole “Mandate” for yourself at this link and I encourage you to do so. *Please* know who you’re voting for in November.
First thing to know: There is a Project 2025. This is important to know. It exists. It’s a plan. It’s coming day one of the next conservative presidency. I am not being hyperbolic. If you are seeing this, it will have some impact on your life. It’s designed to.
This is a Heritage Foundation joint. There are roughly 386 ‘contributors’ to Project 2025 and at least 48 of them are Heritage Foundation. That’s 12% of all contributors give or take some bad eyesight, counting, and maths and unknown crossover organizational alignments.
I was thinking about my dad the other day. He’s still here, he’s fine. I was just thinking about him.
WARNING STRONG LANGUAGE
My dad would tell me stories about guys like his dad. Guys like his dad fought in WWII. Guys like my dad, revered those guys.
A wee thread🧵👇🏻
The only reason the tv set growing up didn’t have the History Channel logo burned into it was because occasionally, I’d watch sports. The history channel had documentary after documentary of WWII. My dad likes the air battles. He would talk about “Those Guys”.
“Those Guys,” he’d say, “Those Guys sat in a bubble OUTSIDE the airplane, Joey!’ “Can you believe that? Imagine how cold it must have been!”
He was referring to the tail gunners on the screen.
You guys…I think I’m going to call it a year. I will begin my final thread of 2024 as I mean to end it, and that is conversationally and with gratitude. Thank you for all your continued dedication to self-determination and democracy.
I’m tired.
A wee 🧵👇🏻
This year was more difficult than last year. Things are getting harder. My balance is getting worse and my body is getting stiffer. I’ve had more falls this year than last. Speaking of falls, it seems more leaves fell in the yard this year than last.
The time change this year and its underreported havoc it wreaks on my medication is worse this year than last. I’ve torn my Achilles and my hamstring this year as opposed to no injuries last.
This is a wee thread. I tell you that now because there is no clever preamble, no fun intro to pique your interest. Just a simple request that you know I lack understand on this topic and make no judgments. I share it so those who can make sense of it hopefully do so.

On December 23rd of 2016, the United Nations adopted UN resolution number 2334. It is here for you to read. Please do so. If you don’t, know the gist is that this UN Security Council resolution stated that Israel’s settlements have no legal validity.
The history of this resolution is one that helps put into context some of what we may be seeing today. At the time, Barack Obama was President and Bibi Netanyahu was Prime Minister of Israel. vox.com/world/2016/12/…
