Quick thread about this bombshell Trump/Russia report from @guardian:

[THREAD]

theguardian.com/world/2021/jul…
1/ Volume 5 of the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee Report could not be more clear: “The Committee found that the Russian government engaged in an aggressive, multifaceted effort to influence, or attempt to influence, the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.”
2/ That tracks with the popular press reporting at the time, with what Mueller/OSC found, and with warnings by the 17 agencies that comprise our Intelligence Community in 2016 that HRC alluded to in the “You’re the puppet!” debate.
3/ Not only that, but we can now look back on the Trump presidency & say, with absolute certainly, that TFG spent 4 years actively working to dismantle our institutions, sow discord, piss off our allies, &, in the non-response to the pandemic, kill as many Americans as possible.
4/ If we believe the Senate Intelligence Committee—and I do—then an “aggressive, multifaceted effort” by “the Russian government” to fuck with our election logically began with Putin and his top brass convening to discuss how that might be accomplished.
5/ In short, if the Senate, and Mueller, and the IC, and HRC are right about what Russia did, then there must have been exactly the sort of meeting described by @lukeharding1968 & co. today.
6/ We don’t know who leaked this or why. But: Russia is not a monolith. There are powerful forces there that would like to put Putin out to pasture and replace him with a fresh face. Nikolai Patrushev is the name I’ve heard—and he reportedly was at the meeting.
7/ And as LB points out, Russia had willing tools here in the US willing to betray our country for power. They looked the other way as Trump was installed. One of these traitors is meeting with TFG this very day.
8/ I pinned this two and a half years ago:

From my PREVAIL piece today, "Incumbent Disasters," some interesting math on the "True One-Termers:"

[THREAD]
1/
In 1976, Carter got 40.8 million out of a possible 81.5 million votes.

In 1980, Carter got 35.5 million out of a possible 86.5 million votes.

Carter fell from 50 to 41 percent of the vote, a nine-point drop.
2/

This means that in that second election, the number of total votes went up, by about four million.

The number of votes for Carter went down, by over five million.

Hey, it’s Greg? From the Anti-Gaslighting League? It’s been a while since we spoke, so I wanted to clear up some things.

[THREAD]
1/ Kevin McCarthy has been a traitor to his country for at least five years. He is now the owned property of the same enemies who own TFG. He doesn’t want a 1/6 Commission BECAUSE HE’S FUCKING GUILTY. Not sure how much more obvious this can be.

2/ Ashli Babbitt was one of the most zealous of the traitors to besiege the Capitol. She was willing to die for the Big Lie, and die she did. The Secret Service agent who killed her did so out of necessity. She was THAT CLOSE to the VP.

The guy who spews Russian propaganda on his TV show bashes the NSA, thus invoking the traitor who crippled our intelligence capabilities & then defected to Russia, and we wake to the latter's name trending because bots working on Moscow Standard Time have tweeted it all morning.
Sheremetyevo Airport has been fully owned by Semion Mogilevich, godfather of godfathers of the Russian mob, for decades. Blowden couldn't wipe his ass at that airport without SM knowing, much less spend FORTY FCKING DAYS there.
I don't recall a single member of the IC, or anyone on the Intelligence Committees, pushing back on the government's position. Schiff & Nunes AGREED. So did Obama. This is simple. It isn't a Deep State conspiracy. THE GUY IS A TRAITOR.

1/ In his voting rights address on Friday, Merrick Garland noted: “Between 1890 and 1908, every southern state enacted a new constitution or amended its constitution to exclude Black voters or significantly impede their participation. The courts did not stand in the way."
2/ This is borne out in the precipitous drop-off of Black registered voters in the South from 1890-1910.

For example, here are the number of registered Black voters in Louisiana, by year:

•1890: 130,334
•1900: 5,320
•1910: 730
3/ As you can see, the numbers are eye-popping. The goal was to prevent African-Americans from voting. By and large, that goal was achieved.

What was significant about Sean Spicer’s first day as White House Press Secretary was that Trump was NEVER going to tell the truth—even about trivial things we knew, from our own two eyes, were bullshit.

[THREAD]
1/ Over Trump’s four years in office, the lies became more consequential, the gaslighting more refined. Sarah Huckabee Sanders was better at it than Spicer, and Kayleigh McEnany turned it into an art form.
2/ The disinformation continued, bolstered by Fox News and Newsmax, OANN and Alex Jones, Facebook and Twitter, and Trump’s Republican enablers.

And the lies never stopped. Trump never came clean.

Now that we know for certain that Paul Manafort, the chair of Trump's campaign, gave polling data to his buddy, Konstantin Kilimnik, a Russian intelligence officer, who in turn passed it to the Kremlin...let's review statements made at the time by some seditious liars.

[THREAD]
1/ Throughout the campaign, during the transition period, and after inauguration, Donald Trump and his surrogates vehemently denied meeting with Russians of any stripe, for any purpose.
2/ Every time they were asked about a connection between the campaign and the Kremlin, they shot it down. And they were INDIGNANT about it. The response was always something along the lines of, “Russia? Us? How dare you accuse us of such a thing!”

Here are some examples:
