NEW DEMANDS: Trump shills, Meadows & Jordan, demand unredacted version of Aug memo detailing scope of Mueller probe, escalating their feud with Rosenstein. They also demand Sessions say whether he signed off on Cohen raid. Why? House probe is over.
#Maddow cnn.it/2Kwa6oC
Trump joins House attacks on DOJ for document release but Rosenstein & top FBI officials suspect that some lawmakers are using their oversight authority to gain intelligence about the investigation so they can share it with the WH. Ya think?!
#Maddow nyti.ms/2FCr3tT
Nunes threatens Sessions with contempt over Russia materials despite being told by DOJ that providing info on a "specific individual" could pose a national security risk & that release of other info could result in "potential loss of human lives."
#Maddow cnn.it/2HWtmxW
!! Top WH officials, with Trump's approval, agreed to back the DOJ's decision to withhold info Nunes has been demanding because it could risk lives by potentially exposing an intel source – a US citizen who provided intelligence to the CIA & FBI.
#Maddow wapo.st/2rv6nzg?tid=ss…
Nunes, in order to funnel more Russia probe info to Trump, sought all documents on a longtime FBI & CIA intel source [which if made public could endanger human lives] THEN denied it: "I never referenced an individual."
The subpoena proves he did.
#Maddow wapo.st/2rD6pVV?tid=ss…
The DOJ gave in to Nunes' extortion.
#Maddow
This is laughable. Of course Nunes will immediately turn and leak the information – to Trump, a subject of the criminal investigation, of which Nunes is demanding to see classified intel [i.e. evidence].
#Maddow
Paul Ryan backed Nunes:
-After his midnight run to the WH debacle
-During his battle with DOJ & FBI over "The Memo" release
-Now, as Nunes demands DOJ reveal the ID of a longtime FBI & CIA intel source so he can pass more Russia probe info to Trump
#Maddow cnn.it/2rDCIUG
After meeting w/ intel chiefs, Nunes backed off demands that the DOJ give him top-secret info on an intel source who aided Mueller [so he could give it to Trump].
@RepSwalwell: It's like giving the WH keys to the evidence locker.
by @DevlinBarrett #Maddow wapo.st/2KT3iBJ?tid=ss…
"Nunes's continued attempts to get access to classified info that could literally get a US source killed, impacts not just the Russia probe, but FBI & CIA's recruitment efforts everywhere. Sources need to know they'll be protected." -@AshaRangappa_ #Maddow
White House to convene GOP lawmakers to review classified info on FBI source. "Not clear which lawmakers will be invited." Nunes, who funnels Russia probe info to Trump, will be.
@RepSwalwell: It's like giving the WH keys to the evidence locker.

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.

@Jim_Jordan Any #Trump sycophant, alleged pedophile protector, trying to besmirch this hero, while his own children will have to suffer from the decisions made for the country, is sad. Why wouldn't the #GOP make it an open door session if they had nothing to hide? Your reign ends soon.
@Jim_Jordan As time passes, more comes to light, with the Steele dossier, Trumps alleged involvement in Epstein child sex ring where Secretary Acosta stopped the FBI investigation before more suspects could be arrested, and money laundering campaign contributions from Russian operatives.
@Jim_Jordan Plus your support for a theocratic monarchy that really acts like a ruthless inhumane dictator & desire to sell American technology to them when it could then be used to kill our own troops or handed over to Russia is genuinely INSANE. Who is dishonorable, spineless sycophantic?

1. If Mueller sent out target letters to Trump insiders, then @RealDonaldTrump knows that indictments are coming. He looked absolutely fried in Paris. Not to cut him slack but he looked like somebody with Cholera.
2. #Manafort's plea required him to cooperate with "the Government and other law enforcement authorities identified by the Government." Fed R Crim P 6(e) authorizes #Mueller with #Rosenstein's permission to share his grand jury files with state prosecutors.
3. So I'll be shocked if by now there are not several indictments already handed down in state courts. Will also be shocked if, while @POTUS was traveling, Whitaker was not briefed on them & shared the secrets with Trump whose system is starting to react to the massive stress.

This article has provoked a lot of commentary today. Most of the commentary from the the left has been alarmist, though some (like @SethAbramson) have been dismissive. I don’t think either response is appropriate. 1/16
There was every reason to expect that Mueller would go into action again shortly after the election; we didn’t need this article to know that. 2/16

Trump: “There was no talking to Russia. There was no phone calls. I didn’t make phone calls to Russia. I didn’t receive phone calls. I didn’t have meetings. I didn’t have texts. Anything. I have nothing to do with Russia.” #mueller tinyurl.com/yahwud9s
2/ It’s very telling that this is the way Trump thinks collusion has to work to be collusion. But no one in his or her right mind has ever supposed that the collusion would be that ham-fisted. #mueller
3/ It’s not as though Mueller is trying to find an email that says: “I hereby commit myself to lifting sanctions if and when elected, if you, Vladimir Putin, agree to help my campaign by hacking and disseminating Hillary’s emails.” --(signed) Donald J. Trump.
