A deeeep dive:

"Major Takeaways from #MichaelCohen's Plea on Trump Moscow Project"

By @K8brannen and @rgoodlaw

with quotes from Just Security experts @normative @AndyMcCanse @lrozen @alexgwhiting @renato_mariotti
justsecurity.org/61671/major-ta…
Readers may be especially interested in the section titled:

"How might the Moscow Project connect up with allegations of collusion?"

which connects revelations in the Cohen guilty plea to great reporting by other journalists and analysts

justsecurity.org/61671/major-ta…
If Cohen is cooperating like this on Russia investigation, imagine what he may provide prosecutors in campaign finance (hush money) investigation.

Brannen and Goodman's analysis of Cohen's plea also refers to this earlier piece by @ThePaulSRyan:

Exclusive: U.N. Human Rights Experts Directly Engage With Facebook on "Overly Broad" Definitions in Regulating Terrorist Content

UN expert sends letter, two sides meet. So, how was the meeting?
justsecurity.org/60554/exclusiv…
UN Rapporteur @NiAolainF:

“I wish to emphasize the importance of ensuring that any relevant definitions adopted and employed by #Facebook are compatible with standards set by international law, including international #humanrights law and international humanitarian law.”
UN Rapporteur @davidakaye:

“It undermines the ability of #Facebook to push back against the efforts of governments to impose ever broader definitions of terrorism…when the standard is not tied closely to standards in #humanrights law and other international instruments.”

>> BOOM >> Mueller has evidence Manafort shared polling data about the 2016 presidential election with Russian intel asset Kilimnik. And lied about it. His lawyers bungled redactions in filing and here we are. #TrumpRussia #Conspiracy #Collusion #RussiaGate #MuellerInvestigation
My favorite part so far (paraphrasing): OK, so Manafort shared [presidential polling data] with Kilimnik. But why assume he lied when he failed to tell Mueller? He just forgot! He was so busy! After all, he was running a US presidential campaign. He can't remember EVerything. lol
Not only is NO COLLUSION a big lie. There’s so damn much collusion, it’s more like TREASON. We learned today 1) Manafort met Russian agent Kilimnik in Madrid during campaign, 2) Paulie shared polling data w/ him, & 3) They discussed “Ukrainian peace plan.” While Russia attacked.

You know what the #Mueller SC is and always was about? Tax payer funded DNC 2020 oppo research with subpoena power... And the possibility of an impeachment option.

The target, @realDonaldTrump, is being tried in the court of public opinion. Much of the media are prosecutors.
Besides the obvious, the main reason the mass market media so bitterly clings to this "Russian collusion" hoax is to save face. It's easier to blame Russia than admit bring wrong about the 2016 election results.

"Russia cheated, otherwise I would have been correct." 🙄
Hell hath no fury like the bruised ego of a narcissist.
A womans scorn can eat their heart out on this one. #justSaying

American media summed up. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

This article has provoked a lot of commentary today. Most of the commentary from the the left has been alarmist, though some (like @SethAbramson) have been dismissive. I don’t think either response is appropriate. 1/16
There was every reason to expect that Mueller would go into action again shortly after the election; we didn’t need this article to know that. 2/16

Why was Andrea Chalupa so excited about #Manafort resigning and how did she know he was going to face an investigation? Also, Alexandra Chalupa was working for the @DNC and Clinton campaign but claimed to have never done op-ed research, oh and look Isakoff again #ManafortTrial
Here's the interview she's bragging about would certainly seem Chalupa was working directly with #Ukraine during the election. Odd as she still isn't listed with FARA.

Why would Alexandra Chalupa say she never did op-ed research but yet her sister excitedly tells everyone on her BCC email that she deserves the credit?
