1.) On October 09, 2018, @HillaryClinton was interviewed in Oxford England by @camanpour & said something that caught my attention. 'Swift Boating'
amp.cnn.com/cnn/2018/10/09…
2.) If you don't know the definition of 'Swift Boating' in the political world, let me lay that out for you very clearly.

The term swiftboating is a pejorative American neologism used to describe an UNFAIR or UNTRUE Political Attack.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiftboat…
3.)Interesting to note that President Bill Clinton’s Senior Advisor for Policy & Communications Joel Johnson at @gloverparkgroup was emailing @jmpalmieri & @johnpodesta about the @realDonaldTrump 'Swift Boat' project in Feb of 2016

When I found the exposed 154 million US voter database in June 2016, I was able to trace the data to a company named L2 Political.
L2 then traced the leak to a client of theirs. The client claimed hackers had taken down their firewall which then publicly exposed the database.
L2's client did not suggest that *I* was the hacker(s) who had removed their firewall and exposed the database.
If true, this means there is confirmation, from the holder of the data, that a nationwide US voter registry _was_indeed_hacked_ months prior to the 2016 election.
I can't believe I didn't recall this sooner. Foreign hacking of the US election system was not much of a topic when I originally reported this 154 million voter record leak and the detail of actual confirmation of a US nationwide vote hack became lost in the ether.

1) Columbus Day 2018 is half time at the 2018 Mid-Term Bowl. The score is GOP 17 and Democrats 16. Let’s recap the first half.

#BlueWave #RedWave #2018MidTermElections

2) Going into the game the Democrats were riding their #BlueWave of enthusiasm. They were so confident America was tired of all the lies and sordid behavior of Coach Trump that the Democrats could win the game easily.
3) They laughed at their good fortune every time a GOP player would pledge to work closely with their coach; such easy pickings.

Kudos to @TeaPainUSA, who helped spot the connection btwn the Alfa🇷🇺Bank & Trump servers. “The Trump domain vanished from the Web on 9/23, 2 days after @nytimes presented its data to BGR, Alfa Bank’s lobbyists in DC, but before it called Trump or Cendyn.”

newyorker.com/magazine/2018/…
Here’s @TeaPainUSA’s original report from **April 2017** on the AlfaBank🇷🇺Trump server connection.

#TrumpRussia

teapainusa.wordpress.com/2017/04/03/dat…
In June 2018, @TeaPainUSA published this follow-up analysis of the AlfaBank🇷🇺Trump servers. The timing of their communication is consistent w/“database replication,” such as sharing a VERY LARGE voter file used for microtargeting.🤨

My thoughts on this whole Kavanaugh debacle.

Brett Kavanaugh does not belong on the Supreme Court. He’s a partisan hack in a way no SC Justice has ever been. Not only did he involve himself in the Vince Foster conspiracy bs during the Clinton years but he literally represented
the Bush campaign in the 2000 Election Debacle and he also wrote the torture memos - and lied about it.

google.com/amp/s/www.wash…
He has also stated in the past that presidents shouldn’t be indicted, and has some severe dubious Russia connections.

🔥@GOP operative Peter Smith raised >$100,000 to pay #Russian🇷🇺hackers to find Clinton’s emails. 10 days after telling his story to the @WSJ, he committed suicide, yet a friend spoke w/him about a new project hours before his death & says he was “excited.”
wsj.com/articles/gop-o…
Smith continued his quest for HRC’s emails *after* the US warned of #Russian🇷🇺interference & went to extraordinary lengths to ensure secrecy, communicating via saved DRAFT (unsent) emails in a shared Gmail account.🤨
🔥One sent email said the >$100k in donations were to be sent to a DC-based scholarship fund for **Russian students**👉🏼“This $100k total with the $50k received from you (Smith) will allow us to fund the Washington Scholarship Fund for the Russian students for the promised $150K.”

A billion-dollar Indonesian real estate development with ties to U.S. President Donald Trump has become the latest project in China’s globe-spanning Belt and Road infrastructure project — just as Washington and Beijing are tussling over trade.

They told us @HillaryClinton was just as bad as @realDonaldTrump.

Hell, @SusanSarandon said she was worse.

She should really never open her mouth about politics again, ever.

That anyone ever fell for that ridiculous lie is beyond disgraceful.

Even if Clinton were guilty of the types of corruption they claimed she was she would still not be comparable in this way to Donald Trump.

Not even close.

But she's clearly not.

As the nation braces itself for the @GOP's latest betrayal in the runup to the #BrettKavanaugh confirmation vote, it is becoming clearer that even those we once believed retained some recognizably moral standards, simply don't.

@SenatorCollins, @lisamurkowski--we see you.

How often do @ChuckGrassley & @LindseyGrahamSC lose their shit like they did at Kavanaugh’s testimony⁉️Just one other time- when Graham wanted to know why he hasn’t heard back if his conversations w Foreign leaders were monitored overseas 🤔Curious⁉️c-span.org/video/?c467504…
🔥Grassley & Graham might have had a personal reason for requesting these #TrumpRussia FISA warrants. Are they worried that our intel heard something treasonous?🔥washingtonexaminer.com/chuck-grassley…
Graham also ran for the 2016 @GOP nomination for president. He bragged that he had been “35 times to Iraq and Afghanistan. I am ready to be commander-in-chief on Day One.” I wonder whom he might have talked to⁉️ fortune.com/2015/09/17/rep…

Thread: #TrumpRussia there’s something rotten in #Ohio politics.

I believe that a foreign agent is trying to get elected to the position of Montgomery County Recorder.

My biggest question is: Why Ohio? why Dayton?
He’s been identified as being involved in the Azerbaijani laundromat, receiving $250k from the government days after he was elected to the Dayton school board.

Does he even have kids?occrp.org/en/azerbaijani…

@mbyrnes37 @emptywheel Brian Benczkowski was appointed Head of the DoJ Criminal division by R' votes only. He would replace Rosenstine if Trump fired him.

Benczkowski could fire Mueller and end all the work Mueller's people were doing. A Constitutional Crisis yes.
States AGs are not under the DoJ.
@mbyrnes37 @emptywheel State charges against Trump and his crime family can not be pardoned. NY and NJ have enough to bring Trump & Co. down.

Mueller is always 10 steps ahead of Trump and his Three Stooges Legal Team.
I'm sure Mueller saw this coming when Benczkowski was appointed to DoJ.
@mbyrnes37 @emptywheel The rush to confirm Kavanaugh is connected to #TrumpRussia

Getting Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court has been the GOP endgame for a long time.

I started posting this thread right after the Nunes recording came out.

24 months after some of us started talking about #TrumpRussia, the New York Times does...and they do a terrible job at it. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
I’ll admit, after the first few sections I only parsed the story for names but there is just so much missing.

What about the Russian mob?
They say none of the convictions have to do with Russia which is complete and utter horseshit. They miss the decades of conspiracy. They miss the religious right. There’s no mention of Weyrich.

Good report—by @shaneharris @DevlinBarrett—on #TrumpRussia.

In this <thread> I'll unpack implications, hidden nuggets

•Did Trump know?
•Was this conspiracy to mislead FBI (important: including McGahn, Priebus)?
•(Why) is McFarland still lying to FBI?
washingtonpost.com/world/national…
2. WaPo: "Prosecutors have sought to determine what Trump or those close to him knew about Flynn’s calls with the Russian ambassador, but McFarland does not appear to be a CRITICAL witness in that regard."

That may be because the FBI already knows the answer.
Just realized rest of my thread wasn’t connected to #2. Here’s the rest starting with #3

🛑BREAKING🛑

Rod Rosenstein suggested last year that he secretly record Trump to expose "chaos" consuming the administration & discussed recruiting cabinet members to invoke the #25thAmendment.

Will Trump use this as an excuse to fire Rosenstein⁉️

nytimes.com/2018/09/21/us/…
Rosenstein made his remarks about the #25thAmendment & secretly recording Trump in meetings & conversations w/other DOJ & FBI officials. Several people (briefed either on the events themselves or on memos written by FBI officials, including McCabe) described the episodes.🤨
Rosenstein reportedly told McCabe that he might be able to persuade Jeff Sessions & John Kelly to mount an effort to invoke the #25thAmendment.

All of these incidents allegedly occurred around the time that @Comey was fired. Rosenstein was very distressed & felt he was used.🤔

#Russian🇷🇺diplomats held secret talks in London last year and plotted to smuggle Julian Assange out of #Ecuador’s London embassy in a diplomatic vehicle and transport him to #Russia.

But WikiLeaks isn’t a cutout for Russian intelligence or anything.🙄

theguardian.com/world/2018/sep…
Fidel Narváez (close Assange confidant) recently was Ecuador’s London consul & served as a point of contact w/#Russia🇷🇺.

Narváez previously tried to help Edward Snowden👉🏼travelled to Moscow & gave Snowden a “safe-conduct“ document.🙄

#SHOCKER
#TrumpRussia
Four separate sources said the Kremlin was willing to offer support for Assange’s escape plot – including allowing Assange to travel to #Russia🇷🇺and live there.

So NOT shocking.🙄

🔥Cohen not only is voluntarily cooperating w/Mueller, he’s also cooperating with *NY state* authorities into the inner workings of the Trump family charity and Trump Org.😎

👋🏼Buh-bye, @realDonaldTrump and spawn, Don Jr, Kremlin🇷🇺Barbie, and Eric👋🏼

abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics/m…
Mueller’s grilling of Cohen has focused on ALL aspects of Trump's dealings w/#Russia🇷🇺—including financial & business deals, and #collusion by Team🇷🇺Trump to throw the election to Trump.

Plus, Manafort is squealing.😎

As I’ve been saying: Team🇷🇺Traitor is TOAST‼️
🔥@ABC says Cohen has been cooperating with *both* federal & state prosecutors WITHOUT any guarantee of leniency (no plea deal).

This means that Cohen knows that MORE charges are coming, and he is *desperate* to cut a deal. But Mueller isn’t.😎

Flynn to be sentenced 11/28 or later. Any documents to be filed *no more than 2 wks prior* to the court date (after midterms).

Now that Manafort flipped, no need to hold up Flynn's sentencing👉🏼Manafort's testimony is even WORSE for Team🇷🇺Traitor. 1/

@SpicyFiles
Both parties agreed NOT to file *any* documents relating to sentencing until Nov 14 at the earliest. This suggests that Mueller is waiting until AFTER the midterms before unloading on Team🇷🇺Traitor, although don't be surprised another plea deal (Cohen?) is announced before.🤔
Flynn's impending sentence means Mueller is ready to release MORE details about the nature of Flynn's cooperation, which combined with Manafort's, is utterly DAMNING for Team🇷🇺Traitor. 3/

Why I believe Christine Blasey Ford.
Why you should believe Christine Blasey Ford.
And why the #Kavanaugh nomination should come to a screeching halt.

<THREAD>
1) First the obvious. Dr. Christine Ford has 3rd party documentation dating from 2012. It doesn’t name Kavanaugh, but it names the circumstances. She’s got the receipts, baby!
2) Second, she has already taken a polygraph test. Has #Kavanaugh taken a polygraph test? No. And considering the number of times he has already been found to lie under oath, he probably should have!

A friend asked me how I knew this in 2016, during the campaign, before the election, how did I know to raise red flags about #TrumpRussia #TrumpLies #TrumpCrimeSyndicate #PenceKnew #Manafort 1/
She went on: you’re busy, you’re just a normal civilian person, you run a small business, you’re focused on working, your family, how did you figure out and know what was wrong with Trump, Russia, the GOP, why the election was different? 2/
First, let’s acknowledge lots of people knew, too. I don’t just mean the intelligence community, or the co-conspirators and accomplices to treason and illegal activities, I mean lots of other regular people like me. There are some common qualities and habits we share 3/

Manafort's plea deal requires him to cooperate "in any and ALL matters" deemed relevant by the Government. Of course, Mueller certainly would deem election-related crimes by @realDonaldTrump, his spawn, and Kush "relevant."🔥

h/t @SpicyFiles courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
So forget this utter nonsense that Trump isn't included in Manafort's plea deal. There is ZERO carve out for **anyone** or **anything**.

Manafort must cooperate COMPLETELY. Full stop.😎

#TrumpRussia
#MuellerTime
Manafort's plea deal is BIGLY bad for @realDonaldTrump and his spawn (Don Jr, Kremlin🇷🇺Barbie, Eric) + spawn-in-law Kush, who all were heavily involved in the campaign.

And it's also BIGLY bad for Manafort's longtime partner-in-crime, ROGER STONE.😎

Interesting discrepancies: According to the Russian media, Rick Perry, U.S. Energy Secretary, has ALREADY ARRIVED to Moscow today, on 9/11, and is visiting till Sept 13 when he meets his counterpart, Alexander Novak. Dugin's pub Tsargrad announced these dates ahead of time. ⬇️
2. American media claims only the part of the visit starting on Thursday, Sept 13. The visit, as the Russian media describes it, is covered "frugally." Indeed. Where is Mr. Perry now? It is a long flight, of course. reuters.com/article/us-rus…
3. They are going to talk about sanctions, note the Russian sources. Let's refresh some recent history--still not covered by the press (just like Mr. Perry's visit.)
