THREAD! 1-A number of experts are saying the recent @nytimes @ScottShaneNYT @MarkMazzettiNYT BIG #Trump-#Russia piece is one of the best pieces of journalism in recent years, and IT SURE IS. I had three levels of reaction to this as someone who has closely analyzed this topic.
2-1st, I was OVERJOYED that 1 of the best newspapers FINALLY gave 2 of their best journalists go-ahead & space to cover the #Trump-#Russia the only way it can be properly understood: a deep-dive detailed look at big, overall picture over time. Our society is better off for it!
3-2nd, I was SUPER frustrated generally cuz, 2+ years after topic should've obvi been covered this way only @NYTimes among biggest outlets has done this. W/ smaller respected outlets. Even 1 year into it only @aminterest/@submergingmkt, @newrepublic/@craigunger had. Circa 0 since

#ManafortTrial Thread (1/8)
Rick #Gates entered a hushed courtroom Friday sporting a navy suit, gold tie and unlike he appeared in so many photographs during his highly publicized indictment in February, a now clean shaven face.
Gates began his testimony by recounting his personal history with Manafort, telling prosecutor Greg Andres he first met his former boss at a Christmas party in 1995 at Manafort’s Alexandria, Virginia home.

At the time, Gates was just an intern at Manafort’s firm, Black Manafort Stone Kelly.
“What else did you do during the time you worked for him?” Andres said.

Bon, petit #thread avant week-end de #Pâques sur l'enquête #Mueller car ça recommence à bouger autour d'1 acteur devenu central, Rick Gates, l'ancien directeur adjoint de campagne de #Trump qui a choisi de plaider coupable et de coopérer avec le procureur...
2) Le dernier #breaking de @cnn cette nuit peut paraître anodin mais il ne l'est pas. On apprend que #Mueller négocia le plaider coupable avec #Gates sur 1 base simple: il voulait ce qu'il savait sur #Trump et la #Russie, pas sur son ex-boss Manafort et leur tambouille financière
3) Or, #Mueller et #Gates ont fini par signer cet accord de plaider coupable et de coopération, donc vous pouvez en déduire que Gates a des billes sur les relations entre #Trump et la #Russie. Et que #Mueller les a maintenant entre ses mains. us.cnn.com/2018/03/29/pol…
