THREAD: #FBI DepDir McCabe *confirms* in testimony that @Comey briefed him on *at least 2* conversations w/Trump:

👉🏼Jan dinner when Trump asked for loyalty🙄
👉🏼Feb meeting when Trump asked Comey to go easy on Misha🇷🇺Flynn

1/
 cnn.com/2017/12/21/pol…
Comey previously testified that he briefed some of his “senior colleagues at the FBI” about his #loyalty conversation w/Trump.🤔

McCabe testified that Comey informed him of conversations he had w/Trump soon after they happened‼️🤗 2/
No surprise, McCabe’s testimony appears to corroborate Comey's prior account, including Trump's INSANE ask for a loyalty pledge‼️

Of course, Trump now denies that he ever made this ridiculous ask.🙄 3/
McCabe testified for *more than 14 hours* before members of the House Intelligence, Oversight & Judiciary committees.🤨

Republicans suddenly think the FBI is a “leftist” organization & want McCabe fired‼️🤬 4/
Taking cues from non-recusing Nunes, House Intel Republicans (of course!) grilled McCabe about how the FBI used the #SteeleDossier.🤨

Some Republicans were “dissatisfied” w/his responses.🙄

THE TRUTH HURTS, DOESN’T IT‼️ 5/
McCabe faced intense questioning from Republicans about the FBI's handling of the Clinton email investigation, which many in the GOP believe was “unfair”. 🙄

NO DOUBT — JUST ASK @HillaryClinton‼️ 6/
.@HouseJudiciary Chair @RepGoodlatte defended the focus on the Clinton email investigation, saying it is consistent w/their focus on FBI decisions made in the 2016 elections.🤬

OMG...this guy. He needs to RETIRE already‼️ 7/
Once again, with EMPHASIS‼️

GOP @RepGoodlatte thinks it’s MORE important to investigate the FBI’s handling of Clinton’s email, than investigating how #Russia🇷🇺helped throw the election to Trump⁉️🤬 8/

#NotSoGoodlatte

Democrats RIGHTFULLY hammer @RepGoodlatte’s probe & call him out for distracting from #TrumpRussia🇷🇺.

#NoSoGoodlatte said: "That's definitely not right."🙄

OH REALLY⁉️ 9/

Republicans are gunning for McCabe amid the release of PRIVATE texts sent btwn Peter Strzok, who was IMMEDIATELY removed from Team🇺🇸Mueller when the texts were discovered, & Lisa Page. The texts also criticized liberals, including Bernie Sanders & Chelsea Clinton.🙄 10/
👇🏼THIS👇🏼is what a Witch Hunt looks like‼️

Even worse, the #GOP is *refusing* to investigate the REAL crisis👉🏼#TrumpRussia🇷🇺

11/
Ranking Member of House Judiciary @RepJerryNadler HAMMERS #NotSoGoodlatte: “This hearing is part of an ongoing Republican attempt to divert attention.”🙄

YUP‼️ 12/
The Republicans can play their “kabuki theater” all they want, but the TRUTH & #RuleOfLaw *will* prevail‼️

#Comey’s notes are ADMISSIBLE in court.🤗

Now, McCabe is CORROBORATING Comey’s testimony‼️

LORDY, I hope there are tapes‼️🤣

I’ve run for Congress and worked on several of my husband’s campaigns. INTERNAL poll data are closely guarded.

Yet Trump’s highly experienced campaign chair (Manafort) willfully gave this VERY sensitive info to a #Russian🇷🇺spy (Kilimnik) with #GRU👉🏼hacked the #DNC.

@thespybrief
If the #Russians🇷🇺 stole @HillaryClinton’s voter file AND had @realDonaldTrump’s internal polling data, they would know which voters to target with specific messages.
Add in the stolen #Facebook and other data, plus Trump’s voter file, and #Russia🇷🇺and others (PsyGroup, Cambridge Analytica, etc) literally would have EVERYTHING needed to microtarget voters very specifically and highly effectively.🤨

💣BOOM💣

The Feds have emails exchanged btwn #Russian🇷🇺lawyer/spy Natalya Veselnitskaya & the #Russian🇷🇺Prosecutor General’s (“Crown Prosecutor”) office.😎

Rob Goldstone offered HRC dirt from the SAME #Russian🇷🇺Prosecutor via Veselnitskaya.

@thespybrief
documentcloud.org/documents/5677…
This SAME #Russian🇷🇺lawyer was charged today with #ObstructionOfJustice by US prosecutors in its #MoneyLaundering case against #Prevezon

Veselnitskaya also helped recruit a Swiss DOUBLE AGENT overseeing Swiss #MoneyLaundering cases of #Russian🇷🇺mobsters.

Just *days* after Trump fired @PreetBharara (led SDNY who was prosecuting #Prevezon), Trump’s DOJ abruptly settled their ROCK-SOLID $230 million #MoneyLaundering case and gave #Prevezon a sweetheart ~$6 million settlement.🙄

In emails to “former” #Russian🇷🇺spy Konstantin Kilimnik, Paul Manafort offered Oleg Deripaska “private briefings” on Trump’s campaign to “get whole.” Manafort’s Moscow contact “our friend V” now revealed as ANOTHER “former” #Russian🇷🇺spy Victor Boyarkin.🙄
mag.time.com/Eq15rGo
“Former” #Russian🇷🇺spy Boyarkin says his acquaintance with Manafort goes back to 2006, when Deripaska asked them to help Montenegro achieve independence in the Balkans.🤨

cc @thespybrief

During the 2016 campaign, Boyarkin says it fell to him to collect the $19 million debt that Manafort owed Deripaska. “I came down on him hard.”🤔

Manafort was broke, so instead of money, he offered “private briefings” to Deripaska via Boyarkin to “get whole.”🙄

#Comey 's transcript was released ONE day after the hearing.
The question is: Why the transcript of Bruce Ohr's hearing HAS NOT YET been released?

Note: 3 months have passed since Ohr's hearing
it was on Aug 28
2. is it because the Bruce Ohr testimony is too damning?
3. the Bruce Ohr testimony contains information that will throw in JAIL all the 2nd Line of the obama administration:

James Comey (FBI)
Andrew McCabe (FBI)
Peter Strzok (FBI)
Sally Yates (DOJ)
Loretta Lynch (DOJ)
John Brennan (CIA)
Susan Rice (Nat Sec Advisor)

COMEY MEMOS: (THREAD) Working my way through the 15 pages of #ComeyMemos. Here are the most important and/or shocking revelations: 1/
During #Comey's 1/6/17 at Trump Tower, @Comey told Trump that the Russians allegedly had tapes involving Trump & prostitutes at a Moscow hotel in 2013. Could these be the infamous #PeeTapes? #ComeyMemos 2/
Trump also praised #Comey on 1/6/17 for his handling of the #ClintonEmails investigation. @realDonaldTrump lavished praise on @Comey, indicating that Comey had conducted himself "honorably" and had a great reputation. #ComeyMemos 3/

Remember the Feb 28 “unity” dinner between AG Jeff Sessions, Deputy AG Director Rod Rosenstein, and Inspector General, Noel Francisco? In light of #McCabe’s firing - this gets a second look.

1/
axios.com/scoop-jeff-ses…
The dinner made headlines for 2 reasons: for appearing to show the top 3 DOJ official in an open display of unity against Trump and because it occurred on the same day as Trump tweeted an “attack” against Jeff Sessions

2/
This followed a previous Trump tweet in another “attack” on Sessions a few days earlier - appearing to blame Sessions for the ongoing investigations into the Trump campaign’s alleged collusion with Russia in the 2016 election.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full

THREAD: How much would FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s testimony that @Comey told him about his conversations with Trump help Mueller in an obstruction case?
1/ In the story above, @mkraju of @CNN reports that McCabe told Congress that @Comey told him about his conversations with Trump shortly after they happened. That’s important because those conversations appear to be the centerpiece of Mueller’s obstruction investigation.
2/ Obstruction also appears to be Trump’s greatest legal liability at this time, given what we know publicly, although whether a sitting President can be indicted is a hotly debated legal question that no one can definitively answer.
