2. "Once again, the President of the United States is running interference for Russia, a hostile foreign adversary.... It’s hard to know what to even call this. Carrying water for Vladimir Putin? A disinformation campaign? A treasonous subversion of national security?"

3. "Trump has spent years calling concerns over his ties to Russian interference a “hoax,” and his Republican enablers have reinforced his propaganda. But it’s not a hoax."

4. "In 2008 Donald Trump Jr. said that much of the Trump family’s assets were dependent on Russia."

1. About Trump's pardon offer to Assange...

Recent coverage spins previous reports from Assange's=WikiLeak's own lawyers. Now WikiLeaks is trying to make it sound like Trump asked Assange to reveal the sources for the DNC leaks, and that he refused. That's a new spun version.

https://twitter.com/DEAcampaign/status/1307409214000824328?s=20

2. Here's an example:

https://twitter.com/DEAcampaign/status/1307409214000824328?s=20

3. The facts are that Assange did claim that (1) Seth Rich leaked the documents, and he also claimed that (2) Russia was not involved in any way. Both claims were proven false. Seth Rich was already dead when Assange was communicating with Russian intelligence.

@RedSpringsSlick

@RedSpringsSlick I understand that point. I guess it's a technical matter of how to count contacts. ;) No matter how, there were lots of illegitimate contacts and lying about it. Lots of bad faith.

@RedSpringsSlick

@RedSpringsSlick 1. Reliable sources have many different numbers for the contacts, likely based on the time of the tabulation & differing methods. Earlier ones obviously won't count later revelations, since all these contacts were kept secret by the Trump campaign & lied about. "Time will tell."

@RedSpringsSlick

@RedSpringsSlick 2. Here are a few sources, so check the dates. Let's start with this article which summarizes the whole subject. The sources can be checked.

Links between Trump associates and Russian officials

1. I believe #Assange knew he was dealing with Russians and that it was #Russia who was behind the hacking. He helped them and then lied about it.

#RussianAsset

2. "Despite being confined to the embassy.., Assange met with Russians and world-class hackers at critical moments, frequently for hours at a time. He also acquired powerful new computing and network hardware to facilitate data transfers just weeks..."

cnn.com/2019/07/15/pol…

3. before WikiLeaks received hacked materials from Russian operatives....[T]here was "no doubt that there is evidence" that Assange had ties to Russian intelligence agencies."

@RedSpringsSlick

@RedSpringsSlick There were many secret meetings held all over Europe between Trump associates and known Russian intel agents in 2015-2016. Those agents were being monitored, so the conversations were recorded. Our allies were so alarmed that they informed the FBI. Trump campaign lied about it.

@RedSpringsSlick

@RedSpringsSlick Over a period of several months, starting in August 2015, and before U.S. intelligence agencies started any investigations, they began to receive alarming reports from eight foreign intelligence agencies ....

@RedSpringsSlick

@RedSpringsSlick ...(United Kingdom, Germany, Estonia, Poland, Australia, France, a Baltic state, & Holland) describing overheard conversations between known Russian agents & Trump campaigner. This was not spying on the Trump campaign. This was incidental to normal spying on foreign agents.

1. @AshaRangappa_ this message needs to get out. This makes it clear that @realdonald Trump is #PutinsPuppet and a traitor. The bipartisan, GOP-led, Senate Intelligence Committee report is devastating.

2. @AshaRangappa_ It says:
"It is our conclusion, based on the facts detailed in the Committee's Report that the Russian intelligence services assault on the integrity of the 2016 U.S. electoral process..."
