This suddenly makes more sense now.

On May 1, 2019, @KamalaHarris asked Bill Barr if Trump ever asked or suggested that he opened an investigation into anyone. Bill Barr stalled by grappling with the word "suggest."

Now we know the answer. Clip without the music:

If Mueller finds no evidence of obstruction, I'm going to be surprised. Nothing Bill Clinton did was nearly as egregious as what Trump has done; and Bill was impeached by the House. Not only does Trump publicly tweet contempt for the rule of law; he actively tries to undermine it Trump fired Comey & McCabe over the Russia probe; he attacked Sessions for recusing himself, til Sessions resigned. Trump then appointed stooges to replace Sessions. Trump nominated Rosenstein; Rosenstein appointed Mueller. ALL OF THEM ARE/WERE REPUBS. Where's the "liberal coup"?

Kushner is in grave legal danger. Flynn's cooperation will likely hurt Kushner more than Trump. Kushner and Flynn were conducting a lot of unscrupulous activities during the Trump transition period. Flynn & Kislyak set Kushner up w/ Russian banker and FSB graduate Sergei Gorkov. Kushner has met w the Mueller team at least twice, most recently in April for 7hrs.
Sergei Gorkov was appointed by Putin to run Kremlin-linked bank VEB; VEB has links to Russian spy activities. Kushner met Gorkov, w/out explanation, during Trump transition

Flynn was certainly an unregistered foreign agent while he was advising the Trump campaign. While on Trump's transition team, Michael Flynn was still acting on behalf of Turkish interests.

Reports: Flynn, paid by Turkey, blocked military move they opposed; told Trump team about investigation

Oh sh*t. News of Manafort's unreported visit/talks with Assange appear to be a pivotal development in the investigation into collusion btwn the Trump campaign & WikiLeaks, a group that's accused by US intel of being a "hostile intelligence service helped by Russia"

The poor ballot design in Broward County cost Bill Nelson the election and rewarded a medicare fraudster a seat in the U.S. Senate. The people who designed and approved this ballot need to be ousted. LIKE TODAY. I don't like incompetence. I don't care which political party the culprits belong to. They need to go. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2018/1…

Curious about what kind of background research Mueller's team has done into Simona Mangiante. Are they aware that she's been lying about her age & background? If so, are those lies indicative of something nefarious? Or have they already determined that she's an irrelevant figure? Mangiante is a 37 year old foreigner w dubious ties to Joseph Mifsud, a suspected Kremlin agent who disappeared after news surfaced that Papadopoulos was indicted for lying about the timing of his contact w/ him... Mangiante worked for Mifsud from Oct 2016 until the U.S. election

Please post them. Hey @ScottMStedman, do you know if Simona Mangiante's parents and family attended her wedding to George Papadopoulos?

Poll time. Given what you know, do you think George Papadopoulos' foreign-born wife, Simona Mangiante, is an undercover Russian spy/agent? Mangiante said she met Papadopoulos in Sept 2016, thru a mutual LinkedIn contact (Mifsud). Mifsud is believed to be an intermediary btwn Kremlin & Papadopoulos; Papadopoulos was indicted for lying about his ties to Mifsud. Mangiante worked for Mifsud from Sept 2016 to Nov 2016.

Sounds serious.

A letter, authored by someone affiliated with Stanford University, describes an incident involving Brett Kavanaugh and an anonymous woman.

"BuzzFeed News contacted the woman believed to be the subject of the letter at her home last week. She declined to comment" "Different sources provided different accounts of the contents of the letter ... but the one consistent theme was that it describes an incident involving Kavanaugh and a woman while they were in high school." theintercept.com/2018/09/12/bre…

Expectations are low because this is the kind of president we're working with. An astronomic ignoramus. cnbc.com/2018/09/11/tru… Cohn pushes back against Woodward's reporting and denies exposing Trump's stupidity.

But Trump himself has repeatedly made similar ignorant statements in the press about national debt, etc.

It's become clear that Rand Paul is the "Dana Rohrabacher" of the U.S. Senate.

And it's funny how we haven't heard from Rohrabacher lately... Might be because Rohrabacher is busy trying to fight for his seat by whipping up lies about his ties to suspected Russian agents. There's been countless Twitter threads speculating about wtf Rand Paul is doing, w/ regards to Russia. Paul voted against Russia sanctions last yr & voted against a non-binding motion to support/expand NATO in July as Trump attacked US alliances at the European summit in Brussels

Donald Trump is president right now. So I understand that standards are so low that people are actually considering you. You have no legislative experience and don't have enough substance or experience in either domestic or foreign policy to earn public confidence. I'm concerned. I appreciate that you represent Stormy Daniels & you're fighting to hold Trump accountable, but it's a bad look for you to think that you can ride the Stormy Daniels scandal fame into the WH. Makes you look like you have an ulterior motive in representing Daniels @MichaelAvenatti

The Kremlin wants to radicalize Americans and turn Americans on both the left and the right of the political spectrums into extremists. They hope to create division to tear Americans apart and make us weaker as a country. They want us to be too distracted by our own infighting. The Kremlin isn't just impersonating Trump supporters. They're also impersonating American leftists. Why? Because they want to create trust in order to influence opinions. This is the kind of "Russian active measures" that experts are talking about.

If you dunno what happened during the Cold War, it's going to be hard for you to understand what's happening now. I think it's odd, for me as a millennial, to explain why Russia isn't a friend to older people who literally had to "duck and cover" in school during the Cold War. Like, seriously... If you were trained to hide under a freaking desk to wait out a nuclear catastrophe, yet still don't know why... Wow.

Putin was a KGB foreign intel officer for 16 years. He's no amateur.

The U.S. intelligence community determined that Putin personally ordered a covert cyberwar operation to help Trump win.

People think this sh*t is a joke. They dunno what Putin & the FSB & GRU are capable of. Ppl keep asking if Putin has a "pee pee tape" on Trump.

Trump is a serial philander who cheated on 3 wives (he paid hush money to silence a PORN STAR he cheated on his 3rd wife w); he was in Moscow in 2013. It's not improbable for a moron like him to be susceptible to blackmail

I've already poked holes into this "mundane explanation."
Trump was DENYING Russian interference in our election *before* he even won. He was briefed about Russian hacking in his 1st briefing as a presidential nominee in Aug 2016, yet he kept denying & defending Russia in debates Despite being told in an intel briefing that Russia was to be blamed for the hacking, Trump claimed in a presidential debate that the culprit could have been anyone, including the Chinese or someone "sitting on their bed who weighs 400 pounds."
