Former White House Counsel Bob Bauer:
"The indictment is also conclusive on a critical point: The Russians were all in for Trump. We have one half of the pairing needed to show a political alliance of a presidential campaign and foreign interest."
"Deputy AG Rosenstein told the press, 'there is no allegation in THIS INDICTMENT that any American was a knowing participant in this illegal activity.' It seems that more from Mueller lies ahead: Rosentein was careful to stress the 'special counsel’s investigation is ongoing'”

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.”

Computational Propaganda Report on Russia's 2016 election disruption operation: ALL the messaging clearly sought to benefit Republicans & specifically Trump. Targeted Right-wing voters to encourage them to back Trump. Distracted, confused & discouraged others from voting at all.

Russia Propaganda on Twitter: I'm making my first quick pass at the 2,973,371 tweets from 2,848 handles verified by Twitter to have come from Russia's Internet Research Agency.
I'd like to thank Clemson University professors Darren Linvill @DarrenLinvill and Patrick Warren @plwarre for compiling the data, and @FiveThirtyEight for making it available to people like me. fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-w…
My first pass at the nearly 3 million tweets was to look for those that reference Cliven Bundy and his family by searching for "bundy." I weeded out Ted, Ryan, Al, and others with the same name.
