EPP Spitzenkandidat Weber positions his German member parties—the CDU & CSU—as parties of „the centre.“ He warns against Salvini, Kaczynski & Farage by name. He does not, however, mention EPP member Fidesz or Hungary‘s Orban. Nor does Bild push to question him about it.
Weber rules out an Article 50 extension beyond the 2019 European Parliament elections, saying that it is inexplicable that someone like Farage should represent Europe as a parliamentarian. Although, the EU27 Member States are key to any decision here.
Weber stands behind the Brexit deal as negotiated, says UK decision needs to be respected but that membership must remain more advantageous than non-membership: „Dear Brits, please decide, finally, what you want.“

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/

denagrayson.com/2018/05/20/jun…
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/

Germany absolutely BTFO. Can't believe Russia has control over Germany. The absolute state of Germany.
Gerhard Schröder is on the board of Rosneft. He was appointed in August 2017.

Not only that, but in 2005, Schröder joined Gazprom's Nord Stream project.
"Mr. Schröder signed the controversial pipeline deal for a $6bn gas link between Germany and Russia under the Baltic Sea with Russia's president, Vladimir Putin, just two weeks before leaving office."

Then he joined Gazprom shortly after.

THREAD: here’s a breakdown of the JUICY details in the sentencing memo filed by lawyers for Alex van der Zwaan (“v.d.Swamp”), the son-in-law of #Russian🇷🇺oligarch, German Khan (AlfaGroup/AlfaBank co-founder)‼️1/

#TrumpRussia

Link to court document👉🏼courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
In this thread, we will focus on what v.d.Swamp said about his case, specifically what info he tried to COVER UP.🤨

For details on the CRIMES that convicted felon v.d.Swamp committed, see👇🏼this thread👇🏼on Mueller’s sentencing memo.😎 2/

Of course, van der Zwaan’s attorneys try to spin a sob story about how v.d.Swamp’s “world has collapsed” and “his career has been destroyed.”🙄

Well, yeah. That’s what happens when you LIE to the Feds and DESTROY EVIDENCE‼️3/

FBI probing the NRA for using *illegal* #Russian🇷🇺money to help Trump win‼️

The NRA reported it spent a *record $55 million* on 2016 elections, including $30 million for Trump – TRIPLE what it spent for Mitt Romney in 2012.🤨 1/

amp.mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-wo…
Even WORSE:

👉🏼Most of the $55 million was spent by an arm of the NRA that is *not required to disclose its donors*
👉🏼Two people w/close connections to the NRA said its total election spending actually was *$70 million*

2/
The gap btwn the $55 million (reported) and $70 million (actual) may be b/c independent groups are *not required to report how much they spend on Internet ads or field operations*, including get-out-the-vote efforts‼️🤬 3/
