Here's a thread from 5 months ago on how the briefing Trump got August 17, 2016—which NBC writes about today—created a legal catch-22 under which Trump's secret plan to unilaterally drop Russia sanctions became Aiding and Abetting Computer Crimes unless he dropped it (he didn't).
Note: every time breaking Russia news comes out on a topic I discussed many months ago, the number of Twitter users saying "stop retweeting Abramson" increases another 100%. That's because 82% of Republicans say they want no consequences for Trump even if it's proven he colluded.
Note #2: My point in saying this is that as the legal noose tightens in the Trump-Russia probe, tweets attacking supposed "conspiracy theorists" will explode. They'll come from three groups: (a) Republicans, (b) Republicans pretending to be Dems, (c) Dems who don't read the news.
Note #3: Yes, I forgot—(d) Russian bots. Hundreds of Russian bots are now urging people not to retweet any accounts that accurately chronicle the Mueller probe.
This is one of those feeds, and so it's been targeted by a massive "don't retweet Abramson" campaign in recent weeks.
