Trump pressed Sessions & FBI Director Wray in Jan 2108 to fire the 2 FBI officials who sent anti-Trump texts [Strzok & Page] and to dig into the FBI files for more dirt on Strzok & Page to turn over to House GOP working to smear them.
HT @emzorbit #Maddow bit.ly/2HTzjbG
Trump's efforts to smear Strzok & Page began last summer when his then-criminal atty Dowd concluded that Page was a dangerous witness in Mueller's obstruction probe bc she was likely present when Comey discussed his troublesome contacts w/ Trump.
#Maddow
Trump's then-criminal atty Dowd realized that Lisa Page, as deputy FBI director McCabe's chief counsel, was likely privy to info McCabe had re Comey's troublesome contacts with Trump, including the time Trump told Comey to drop the Flynn probe.
#Maddow
ICYMI: Immediately following Comey's testimony re his firing last JUN, Trump also ordered a smear campaign targeting 3 FBI officials who could corroborate Comey's account that Trump told him to drop the Flynn probe: McCabe, Baker & Rybicki.
#Maddow #AMJoy
"Trump approved a plan [in Jun] to carry out a smear campaign to discredit senior FBI officials after Dowd warned him they all would almost certainly provide damaging testimony in Mueller's obstruction probe. One of the officials specifically targeted was Lisa Page."
#Maddow
THIS part: "Trump also pressed AG Sessions & FBI director Wray to work more aggressively to uncover derogatory info within the FBI’s files to turn over to congressional Republicans working to discredit the 2 FBI officials [Strzok & Page]."

THREAD: In light of the Trump admin lifting sanctions on Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska's companies, recall that Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, conspired with Deripaska during the 2016 campaign with help from Russian intelligence operative Konstantin Kilimnik.
#Maddow
JUL 7, 2016: Manafort offers Deripaska private campaign briefings then meets with Kilimnik re the same on Aug 2.

AUG 11, 2016 email from Manafort's CPA: "Paul has indicated $2.4M in fees earned, but not yet received. Expected to be deposited Nov 2016 [post election?]."
#Maddow
JUL 29, 2016 email from Russian intelligence operative Kilimnik to Manafort [days after Trump accepts GOP nomination]: "I met today with [Deripaska]. I have important messages from him to you. He asked me to go & brief you on our conversation."

McCARTHY: There’s two people, I think, Putin pays – Rohrabacher and Trump...swear to God.

RYAN: This is an off the record [laughter] NO LEAKS...alright?! This is how we know we’re a real family.

SCALISE: That’s how you know that we’re tight.
-Never forget-
JUN 15, 2016, @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy to Paul Ryan, @SteveScalise, and other GOP: "There’s...there’s two people, I think, Putin pays. Rohrabacher and Trump...swear to God."

@Evan_McMullin was there and confirmed it was not a joke.
wapo.st/2pY7eFF
Per @Evan_McMullin: One senior GOP leader [that's you, @GOPLeader!] dolefully informed his peers that he thought Trump was on the Kremlin’s payroll and had been compromised by Russian intelligence. Other GOP leaders were surprised but did not dispute him.

CORRECTION: Manafort told Kilimnik to pass TRUMP polling data not to Deripaska but to Ukrainian oligarchs Rinat Akhmetov & Serhiy Lyovochkin, who funneled $50K to Trump's inaugural & is business partner to Dmytro Firtash [top-tier comrade of Russian mob boss Mogilevich].
#Maddow
FYI: Rick Gates testified that between 2010-2013, former Yanukovych CoS Serhiy Lyovochkin funneled $42M to Paul Manafort. At the time, Lyovochkin was business partner to Dmytro Firtash [top-tier comrade of Russian mob boss, Semion Mogilevich].
#Maddow kyivpost.com/ukraine-politi…
In his plea deal, Sam Patten, US business partner of Konstantin Kilimnik [Russian GRU associate of Manafort & Gates] who worked for Cambridge Analytica in 2014, said a Ukranian oligarch [Serhiy Lyovochkin] funneled $50K into Trump's inaugural fund.

#BREAKING FBI fires agent Peter #Strzok over anti-Trump texts. He’s the 3rd prominent FBI officials (along with Comey and McCabe) fired over Clinton and Russia probes. washingtonpost.com/world/national…
Strzok's lawyer said the move to fire him undercuts repeated assurances Strzok would be afforded the normal disciplinary process. He was fired by FBI Director Wray's Deputy Bowdich, overriding Office of Prof Responsibility. Trump's abusive pressure on DOJ & Sessions is working.
Wray, Sessions bowed to Trump's improper pressure to fire Strzok, one of "bad players" on his purge list. Trump's already using it to further press to end Mueller, even tho Strzok hasn't been on Russia probe for over a yr. This is a dangerous erosion of independence in FBI & DOJ.

1. I have been pondering #QAnon's most recent posts in the context of this latest Friday evening 8/3/18 releases, and it is pretty mind-blowing. #Q
2. One of #QAnon's most recents #1812, has had me stumped. Still not sure what #Q is saying with this one. Both Wray (anti-"Russian" election meddling as venue #Q links to getting voter ID) & [RR] Oath quote & saying can't 'please all..'
3. So in one sense #QAnon is distinguishing Rosenstein from Wray w [RR] in bold target box, not rescinding his "Trust Wray" affirmation, but, in another way in #1812, he's putting them in step w each other:
"Think WRAY (yesterday).
Think [RR] (today)."
