Yesterday's indictment is a major signal that we're nearing the end of the #TrumpRussia prologue.

I interviewed @Mimirocah1 about the story which she said indicates that "prosecutors are putting the pieces together."

I agree.

Here's my $0.02.

Why is Natalia Veselnitskaya's link to the Kremlin so important?

1 - SDNY provides Mueller with apolitical evidence sent from the target that predates all investigations.
2 - Proves Don Jr. met a Kremlin Agent
3 - Burns the Russian prosecution against @Billbrowder

2/
Natalia Veselnitskaya had been working on the Prevezon case for years, but in 2014 she involved herself drafting of the official response to the DoJ's invocation of a treaty for legal assistance.

She sent the evidence that she worked with the Kremlin to SDNY prosecutors.

I gotta say, @RepCohen has a point! Just look at the top news results for him, it's all Breitbart, Daily Caller and National Review.
Here's Rep. Steve Cohen's (D-TN) generic google search result toppers.
Here are Cohen's Google News results. MSNBC is buried way down under the fold, even though it's relatively brand new, no thumbnail photo, but the Breitbart White Nationalist propaganda website writes a daily hit piece, so they're at the top of everything.

Let me explain the former #Republican Congressman Curt Weldon whom I explained to @MuellerSheWrote that Special Counsel Mueller is now investigating as part of the #TrumpRussia probe as the author of the "back channel peace plan."

#Listen: itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/mue…
FYI: The New York Times broke the story about a secret, back-channel peace plan from Ukrainian lawmaker Andrii Artemenko to Felix Sater to Michael Cohen and thereon being delivered to Gen. Flynn the NSA at the White House early in the Trump Administration

nytimes.com/2017/02/19/us/…
Curt Weldon wrote that Ukrainian-Russian "peace plan" with a Manafort-connected Ukrainian oligarch Alexander Rovt, for the war in which Putin is an aggressor in Feb. 2016 and @patrickLSimpson published it as a byproduct of our #GrandOldPutinParty series. thesternfacts.com/curt-weldon-ae…

THE TRUMP-HITLER COMPARISON.
Is there any comparison? Between the way the campaigns of Donald #Trump and Adolf #Hitler should have been treated by the #media and the culture? The way the media should act now? The problem of #normalization?
2/
Because I’d written a book called Explaining Hitler several editors had asked me, during the #campaign, to see what could be said on the subject.

Until the morning after the election I had declined them.

Trump gears up to strip more security clearances as part of his escalating attack against officials tied to the Russia probe. Trump has already fired or threatened to fire nearly a dozen current & former officials associated with the investigation.

"Trump is obstructing justice in plain sight." -@JillWineBanks
#Maddow
RECALL: Immediately following Comey's testimony re his firing in JUN 2017, Trump ordered a smear campaign targeting FBI officials who could corroborate Comey's account that Trump told him to drop the Flynn probe: McCabe, Baker, Rybicki & Lisa Page.

#Maddow Scoop: GOP congressman Devin Nunes (Top Trump propagandist on House Intel Cmte undermining Russia probe) was overheard at a GOP fundraiser criticizing Trump tweets as “cringe” worthy. He also acknowledges using stolen emails in a campaign is “criminal.” #TrumpRussia
#Maddow Nunes: “If Sessions won’t unrecuse and Mueller won’t clear the president, we’re the only ones.” GOP leadership is secretly on board with Rosenstein impeachment. But don’t won’t divert Senate from Kavanaugh confirmation. So GOP plan to do it after he’s confirmed. #VOTEBLUE
#Maddow's scoop is damning for Nunes, showing his corruption & abuse of power for Trump. But Paul Ryan is House speaker, and he's known about all of it. He's been on board since at least his "don't leak"; keep it in the "family." GOP family is more mob-like than we ever imagined.

For Toronto Tower, Trump partnered with mafia-linked Alex Shnaider, who paid $100M to a Moscow fixer representing Kremlin-backed investors who funneled millions into the project. For financing, they used Firtash & Mogilevich's primary bank. THREAD
#Maddow on.ft.com/2uldOdE
In 2007 Trump touted the financing for “our” Toronto project as “a testament to the strength of the Trump name." The $40M investment from his Russian-Canadian partner, Alex Shnaider, came from Kremlin-backed investors. Trump later denied any knowledge about the financing.
#Maddow
In 2010, Alex Shnaider authorized a $100M bribe to a Moscow fixer representing Kremlin-backed investors to facilitate the sale of his Ukraine steel mill for $850M, a deal financed by Russian-state bank VEB [chaired by Putin at the time], proceeds of which flowed to Trump.

1. In 1987 it is believed that #Trump was recruited by #SovietUnion, specifically recruited by Kryuchkov head of First Chief Directorate, a division within the #KGB who's primary responsibility was to gather foreign intelligence

#Trump #Russia #SovietUnion #Treason
2.Both Kryuchkov and #Gorbachev faced #Reagan as #President, and he was in the #SovietUnion´s eyes regarded as a very strong leader, the opposite of #Carter of #Ford, when dealing with them.
