🔥US govt wiretapped Trump campaign chair Manafort per FISA warrant–before & after election–in Russia probe, @CNN cnn.it/2x8XIXY
So maybe the Feds have Trump talking on phone to Manafort?? Why exactly was Trump still talking to fired Manafort?🤔 And after the election?🤔
🔥Mueller's shock & awe: After the raid, Russia probe prosecutors told #Manafort they're going to indict him mobile.nytimes.com/2017/09/18/us/… #inners
Dang it: Manafort was extensively wiretapped by the FBI but apparently NOT during June meeting w/ Russian operatives in Trump Tower. #maddow
Manafort raid was July 26–the night after he told Senate Russia probe of @TrumpTower meeting, notes. He call someone after hearing? #maddow

#RussianAsset much?? Trump's been hiding details of his encounters w/ Putin. So there's no detailed record of their 5 interactions in the past 2 yrs. Unusual for any POTUS, let alone one Russia sought to install thru an unprecedented interference campaign washingtonpost.com/world/national…
Trump's gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal details of his conversations wi/ Putin—from even his own admin. No wonder FBI thinks he's working for Russia. This is so outrageous. And incredibly stupid. You can bet the Kremlin has recorded every word. washingtonpost.com/world/national…
#RussianAsset Trump told Putin "I believe you" when Putin denied Russian involvement in US election, according to the interpreter (whose notes he seized!) at Hamburg G20 meeting in 2017. That's also when Trump admitted he spoke w/ Putin about "adoptions" ie Magnitsky #sanctions.

NEW: FBI Opened Counterintelligence Inquiry Into Whether Trump Was Secretly Working on Behalf of Russia Against the United States - The New York Times nytimes.com/2019/01/11/us/…
FBI was suspicious of candidate Trump’s ties to Russia but held off opening an investigation…in part b/c they were uncertain how to proceed w/ an inquiry of such sensitivity & magnitude. Then Trump’s conduct as POTUS—firing Comey, bragging to Russians in Oval abt it—changed that
Fmr FBI Counterintel Asst Dir @FrankFigliuzzi1: Investigation reported in @nytimes would have to have surpassed the evidentiary threshold from preliminary into full inquiry. The worst case scenario is investigating whether the POTUS is working for Russia against the US. #Maddow

“They are doing an exhaustive investigation…narrowly focused on collusion”—Ex-Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg on Senate Intel Committee grilling him in Russia probe interview nbcnews.com/politics/natio… via @NBCNews @KatyTurNBC
“If I were the White House, I would be concerned”—Nunberg, after today’s 4.5hr grilling by Senate Intel Cmte asking about Trump & Russia dealings & relships. He said he was surprised by Moscow Tower project b/c it contradicted the campaign’s official position of no foreign deals.
Nunberg said Senate investigators were interested in campaign’s relationship w/ NRA. He said he was aware of efforts by Maria Butina (who pleaded guilty to conspiring w/ Russian official to interfere in American politics) to seek a meeting with Trump, using the NRA as a conduit.

I’ve run for Congress and worked on several of my husband’s campaigns. INTERNAL poll data are closely guarded.

Yet Trump’s highly experienced campaign chair (Manafort) willfully gave this VERY sensitive info to a #Russian🇷🇺spy (Kilimnik) with #GRU👉🏼hacked the #DNC.

@thespybrief
If the #Russians🇷🇺 stole @HillaryClinton’s voter file AND had @realDonaldTrump’s internal polling data, they would know which voters to target with specific messages.
Add in the stolen #Facebook and other data, plus Trump’s voter file, and #Russia🇷🇺and others (PsyGroup, Cambridge Analytica, etc) literally would have EVERYTHING needed to microtarget voters very specifically and highly effectively.🤨

THREAD: @realDonaldTrump now *admits* that Don Jr sought Clinton dirt at his meeting w/the #Russian🇷🇺”lawyer”/spy & a “former” GRU military intel officer.

It’s a CRIME for a campaign to solicit or receive *anything* from a foreign national, let alone #Russian intelligence.🙄1/
We knew last year that Jr, Manafort & Kush met w/a Kremlin-linked “lawyer,” a “former” #Russian🇷🇺spy w/expertise in acquiring hacked emails, and an alleged Russian money launderer👉🏼they discussed #sanctions, Clinton #kompromat, and #RNC donations.🔥2/

We also knew last year that Team🇷🇺Trump tried *desperately* to cover up the meeting.

Kushner “forgot” (= #felony) to disclose the meeting *3 separate times* on his SF-86, and Jr & his father, Trump, LIED repeatedly about the meeting.🙄 3/

An important takeaway from the Carter Page FISA documents released today: They prove without a shadow of a doubt that @DevinNunes lied about the FISA warrant to try to discredit the Russia probe. And they also prove that @RepAdamSchiff told the truth.

1/
Example: Nunes claimed the FBI cited a Sept. 2016 Yahoo News article to corroborate the Steele dossier. Schiff said no, the FBI cited the article to inform the court of Carter Page's public denial of his Moscow meeting. (L)

Today's FISA docs show Schiff's account is correct. (R)
Devin Nunes won't admit that he lied about Carter Page's FISA warrant to undermine an ongoing investigation — but what about the rest of the GOP-led House intel committee, which largely went along with the Nunes memo? And what about @SpeakerRyan, who could remove Nunes tomorrow?

💣BOOM💣

THREAD: FBI says an associate of Trump’s campaign chair Paul Manafort had *ongoing* Russian🇷🇺intelligence ties *during the campaign* when Manafort & deputy campaign chair, Rick Gates, were in contact w/the associate‼️1/

#TrumpRussia

washingtonpost.com/politics/manaf…
This BOMBSHELL — that not only were Trump’s *top* campaign staff (Manafort and Gates) in contact with #Russian🇷🇺intelligence, but THEY KNEW this person was “former” GRU — came from a court filing for indicted lawyer, Alex van der Zwaan‼️2/

#Collusion

Team🇺🇸Mueller filed a “Sentencing Memorandum” in the van der Zwaan case👉🏼states that Gates had said he knew “Person A” was a “former” officer w/#Russian🇷🇺military intelligence (GRU).🤨

As Putin said: “there are no FORMER chekists.”🙄 3/

THREAD: for those of you concerned about the relative quiet coming from Mueller: HAVE NO FEAR.

Mueller has assembled an A-team Justice🇺🇸League of some of the finest lawyers in the country, many of whom left lucrative jobs.

And they didn't come for the doughnuts.😎 1/
We've all become rather immune to the shockwaves of news. THIS IS PART OF TEAM🇷🇺TRUMP'S PLAN TO DISTRACT AND DEFLECT FROM THE *REAL NEWS*.

Don't let them distract you from the TRUTH‼️ 2/
TRUTH: in 9 months, Mueller already has 3 convictions (Flynn, PapaD, Gates) & 1 indictment (Manafort).🤔

Fmr CABINET MEMBER/NSA (Flynn)👉🏼pleaded GUILTY to LYING about his contacts with #Russia🇷🇺

Fmr campaign chair (Manafort)👉🏼indicted for laundering Russian cash.
