(THREAD) This thread tallies the criminal referrals, indictments, convictions, warrants, and investigations of the illicit ring that surrounds and includes Donald Trump.

I hope you'll RETWEET this for those who aren't aware that the Trump administration is a criminal enterprise.
1/ 🟥 CONVICTIONS*

▪️ Manafort
▪️ Gates
▪️ Papadopoulos
▪️ Patten
▪️ Flynn**
▪️ Nader
▪️ Cohen
▪️ Stone
▪️ Butina

*This list doesn't include longtime Trump associates convicted of crimes pre-inauguration.
**This conviction was later tampered with by DOJ on the order of AG Barr.
2/ 🟧 INDICTMENTS

▪️ Kilimnik
▪️ Broidy
▪️ Bannon
▪️ Parnas
▪️ Fruman
▪️ Netanyahu
▪️ Trump*
▪️ Firtash**

*Via impeachment in Congress. He's also an unindicted co-conspirator in an SDNY case.
**Pre-inauguration, but tampered with by Trump allies seeking an illicit quid pro quo.
3/ 🟨 PENDING CRIMINAL REFERRALS TO THE FBI

▪️ Prince
▪️ Clovis
▪️ Trump Jr.
▪️ Kushner
▪️ Hicks

Note: These criminal referrals were all made by the Republican-led Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. The current status of these referrals is, under Trump AG Barr, unknown.
4/ 🟫 WARRANTS (FUGITIVES FROM JUSTICE)

▪️ Rybolovlev
▪️ Firtash
▪️ Kilimnik

Note: This list is incomplete. Trump has repeatedly sought to do business with—or arrange quid pro quos with—foreign oligarchs who are fugitives from justice in various jurisdictions, including the US.
5/ 🟪 UNDER INVESTIGATION

▪️ Giuliani
▪️ Hyde
▪️ Lutsenko
▪️ Rovt
▪️ Derkach
▪️ Deripaska
▪️ Kolomoisky
▪️ Nunes
▪️ Agalarov, A.
▪️ Agalarov, E.
▪️ Shokin
▪️ Sekulow
▪️ Zamel
▪️ Telizhenko

Note: Historically, a large percentage of Trump-linked federal probes become indictments.
6/ ⬛️ STATUS UNKNOWN*

▪️ Toensing
▪️ DiGenova
▪️ Trump, I.
▪️ Trump, E.
▪️ Sargeant III
▪️ Pillsbury
▪️ Perry

*We learned via the Mueller and SSCI reports that many Trump-linked probes are kept secret to avoid White House tampering. Some of these people are likely under probe.
7/ 🟨 COOPERATORS

▪️ Barrack
▪️ Sater
▪️ Sondland

Note: This list is incomplete. A full list of those who might have faced charges had they not cooperated with federal probes of the criminal ring surrounding and including Trump would be extensive, likely numbering over a dozen.
8/ ⬜️ BLOCKED INVESTIGATIONS

▪️ Pompeo

Note: This list is incomplete. AG Bill Barr issued a pre-election no-probe edict that only benefits Trump aides and donors—while not precluding investigations of Democrats. Meanwhile, Trump fired a host of IGs investigating his associates.
9/ 🟩 WEIRDOS

▪️ Corsi
▪️ Hyde
▪️ Credico

Note: Trump is surrounded by odd characters—including some who may have evaded indictment by being so non-normative in their mindset and actions that a prosecution of them could only be a circus. (I practiced law; this is a real thing.)
10/ 🟦 "BLUE OCEAN" PROBES

We can't know what we can't know.

There are undoubtedly more Trump associates under investigation—in many cases for involvement in his domestic frauds, e.g. those involving his taxes—whose names we can guess but need not, as they'll be confirmed soon.
NOTE/ ❌ SANCTIONS

These lists don't include Trump associates who are "simply" under US sanctions. Many in this category already appear on other lists here. Remember, Trump has long been a public proponent of bribery; he therefore naturally detests sanctioning corrupt oligarchs.
PS/ If I've left anyone off any of these lists, please let me know.

Note: I'm not looking for input at the moment, in this thread, on who you think *should* be in a certain category, but who actually—based on major-media reports—is. Any help on that front is greatly appreciated.

BREAKING: After many smug, premature "reopening schools in September was fine" articles, here are new infections since last Saturday:

Oct. 4: 33,972
Oct. 5: 41,599 🔼
Oct. 6: 44,666 🔼
Oct. 7: 49,356 🔼
Oct. 8: 56,653 🔼
Oct. 9: 60,558 🔼

Oct. 9 was the most cases in 2 months.
(PS) Keep in mind that many schools opened in mid-September, and many colleges and universities that reopened in early September didn't begin reporting their clusters until mid-September. And remember the incubation period of the virus. And this is what October looks like so far.
(PS2) We can't clearly say what's caused the current spike—but it seems too early for a flu-season effect and the weather hasn't changed so significantly that folks are suddenly regularly staying indoors. The most dramatic change in the last four weeks has been schools reopening.

ICYMI: Know who went to Moscow in 2013 to let the Russians and their allies in Ukraine know Trump would be running for POTUS? Phil Ruffin (not clear if his Ukrainian wife went).

Know who co-owns the Trump hotel that sent out $21 million in suspicious payments pre-election?

Yep
PS: Remember, when the Kremlin-agent Agalarovs came to Vegas to offer Trump ~$20 million in June 2013, they were coming to Ruffin's bailiwick. Isn't it interesting that a Ruffin-owned Vegas hotel suddenly had $21 million to give directly to Trump just weeks before the 2016 vote?
PS2: To be clear, I understand the NYT is saying the 2016 money may have come from an LA bank loan. But Ruffin guaranteed the $30 million loan with no real hope of Trump paying it back. What influx of cash to Ruffin suddenly allowed him to guarantee that loan? That's my question.

When Trump finally departs the political landscape, we'll experience a wave of shame over the fact that things got to this point in America. He incited a coup in Michigan, and now that the plot is revealed, is attacking the intended victim. We are witnessing historic obscenities.
All Americans alive today must in some way feel that we've disgraced the generations of brave Americans who came before us. America didn't beat back the British at the Old North Bridge in the town I was born in—Concord, MA—just to sink to this ignominious low under Donald Trump.
We're a *better nation* than this. A better people. We deserve more—and even more importantly, our predecessors marched and fought and died and made great art and built incredible innovations so that we could hold our heads higher than any of us can right now. We are in disgrace.

I really wish the Wall Street Journal had read Proof of Corruption, because all of this info is in the book. I don't know why WSJ is darkly noting what "we knew" prior to today, as readers of the Proof series and this Twitter feed read excerpts covering this data over the summer.
PS/ The COVID-19 timeline—the one thing media *had* to get right prior to Election Day—it got wrong. And it got it wrong because it didn't read its own reporting, as curated and compiled and endnoted in Proof of Corruption, but *Trump's claims* in Bob Woodward's book.

*Amazing*.
PS2/ In fact, the *reason* major media *rejected* the numerous (ironically) *major-media* reports of the Trump White House, Pentagon, NATO, and IDF getting briefed on the virus in November 2019 is because it *disbelieved* its *own reports* establishing that timeline as plausible.

I think the governor's order fairly singled out *idiots*, a class of American of which we find numerous examples in the video below—which features far-right Jews who believe in little of what I was raised to believe Judaism stands for dancing without masks or with masks barely on
PS/ I received a religious education—alongside a public-school, secular one—until I was 16, and I find *zero* commonality between anything I was taught and anything subscribed to by these far-right pro-Trump Jewish communities in New York. I don't recognize their values at *all*.
PS2/ Worse still, by appealing to these fringe communities with beliefs *wholly distinct* from the rest of American Jewry, Trump is permitted to give the impression that he "likes Jews," when there's no actual overlap between his values and those of Judaism as most understand it.
