BREAKING (h/t DM): In 2014 video, Trump admits speaking "directly" to Putin at the 2013 Miss Universe pageant—confirming allegation by Tom Arnold the two spoke by phone. Arnold alleges Trump revealed plans to run for POTUS and discussed Trump Tower Moscow.
2/ New evidence, including Trump tweets, confirms he spent November 9, 2013 signing a letter-of-intent on Trump Tower Moscow and revealing to Kremlin agent Yulya Alferova—and likely Putin—he'd run for POTUS, thus using his candidacy as a chit to get Putin's blessing for his deal.
3/ Putin sent his developer (Agalarov), banker (Sberbank CEO) and permits man (Kozhin) to the pageant to ink Trump Tower Moscow deal for Trump—nothing's built in Moscow if Putin doesn't want it to be. Trump secretly agreeing to a POTUS run 18 months earlier than known is damning.
4/ The same agent Putin used to assist Trump in getting Trump Tower Moscow (Agalarov) worked with Artem Kyushin and Yulya Alferova in Las Vegas in 2013 to get Trump to Moscow. Kyushin's associate Konstantin Rykov appears to have provided 5 prostitutes to Trump to get kompromat.
5/ Kompromat is confirmed by: the CIA; the BBC; the Spectator (UK); the Steele Dossier; additional witnesses (Kata Sarka, a Trump Org employee who has spoken to Mueller, and "an American hotel guest"); Trump's 10+ lies about his trip to Moscow; and Team Trump's changing story.
6/ In January, a Trump ally told The Daily Caller Emin Agalarov—a Kremlin agent—offered the prostitutes and Trump had a man on his door all night post-refusal. Schiller testified under oath it wasn't Emin but another Russian (believed to be Klyushin) and *no one was on the door*.
7/ Kata Sarka (Miss Hungary 2013) said—before the Dossier was released—Trump propositioned her for sex in his room at the Ritz the same night Trump says he'd no intention of engaging in untoward behavior because he knew his room was wired for sound/audio, thus proving him a liar.
8/ A BBC journalist reports an "American hotel guest" saw an argument in the Ritz lobby about whether women would be let up to Trump's room without signing in. Kluyshin's associate Rykov—who claims to have had secret meetings with Kluyshin on Trump—runs Moscow's largest brothel.
9/ Rykov publicly claimed to have been part of a plot to elect Trump 72 hours post-election, in a little-seen Facebook post. Rykov indicated knowledge of persons and methods that were then non-public and (like Kluyshin) has a verifiable trail of Trump support going back years.
10/ All evidence suggests Trump went to Moscow in November 2013 to sign the biggest deal of his life and receive Putin's blessing for it by promising a Russia-friendly POTUS run. Putin agreed (via his proxies), but used his agents to get kompromat on Trump in case he broke faith.
11/ Trump's promise to agents of Putin and/or Putin was the unilateral dropping of sanctions U.S. media widely reported he planned as one of his first acts as POTUS. Sessions, Flynn, Page, Papadopoulos, and Kremlin agents held sanctions negotiations/check-ins during the campaign.
12/ All Mueller needs is a witness to confirm these facts by testimonial rather than just documentary or—an avalanche of—circumstantial evidence. Eligible witnesses for this aim: Manafort, Flynn, Hicks, Sessions, Kushner. The last two are targets—one of the first three will flip.
13/ Don't be deterred by those who haven't followed the Russia probe closely, to whom all this sounds (understandably) like "conspiracy theory." It *was* a conspiracy—a rather stupid criminal conspiracy now well-documented by a networking of dozens of public, major-media reports.
14/ Right now the media reports most people rely upon to determine what's "real" are 6 months behind the current state of "what we know"—as they have to rely on leaks from a sad Congressional investigation and less than that from a tight-run FBI probe that has to stay non-public.
15/ Mueller already knows all I've said—the service independent journalists offer, now, is to report what Mueller knows before *Mueller* can report it several months from now. On occasion such journalists' research may be helping; mostly, they're just offering us "early warning."
16/ But that early warning—whether or not those who aren't paying much attention to the hundreds of reports on the Russia probe believe it—is *critical* because it helps prepare the country for its worst-ever revelation: that it's run by a man who connived for years to betray it.
17/ Trump's agenda must be stopped *not* because he's a Republican—as they say, "[fair] elections [should] have consequences"—but because he's a traitor to the nation whose name will live in infamy as long as America is extant. A man like this can't be allowed to set policy—ever.
18/ The 2016 election *was* stolen, yes—but I also have the misfortune of reporting that there's no mechanism to allow a "do-over" unless Congress passes a bill calling for a new election (like they do, incidentally, in other countries *all the time*). But the SCOTUS can't do it.
19/ The Congressional investigation is a farce, and will *be* a farce unless and until Democrats run it (not because they're more principled, but because they're more motivated). Mueller can't say what he knows until he issues his final report—which could be a long time from now.
20/ I don't have an answer for what we *do* will all this research—this highly credible set of facts establishing the worst-ever betrayal of America—but I know this: we need a real Congressional probe ASAP; Trump can't be allowed to make any mark on America, as he is compromised.
PS/ I don't know what else to say but that I'm so sorry this happened to us—that our nation was violated by this man and his Russian allies.
My heart breaks for America.
But I believe in us; I believe we'll weather this, and that justice will prevail.
My heart breaks for America.
