Gates wasn't interested in Psy Group b/c other Trump aides oversaw social media. George Nader & Joel Zamel (Psy Group owner) met w/Don Jr & offered to help *THROW THE ELECTION* at an Aug'16 meeting arranged by Erik Prince‼️

1. Simon Kukes, a Houston-based oil executive, sent an email to a Russian official in Moscow in July 2016, boasting of his connections to Trump campaign and requesting a face-to-face meeting. The official is Vyacheslav Pavlovsky, a former Russian ambassador to Norway.
2. NBC HAS THE EMAILS. Kukes wrote to Pavlovsky" I have been actively involved in Trump's election campagn, and am part of the group on strategy deveopment. I will be in Switzerland July 20 to Aug. 2. Let me know how you are doing and whether you want to meet." Oh. OH.
3. NBC obtained emails through a London-based investigative project funded by MIkhail Khodorkovsky, a Russian opposition figure. The Dossier Center gathers information to try to expose high-level corruption in Moscow. NBC reviewed the emails in conjunction with The Guardian.
🔥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.😎

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.😎

🔥@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.😎
This means that Cohen knows that MORE charges are coming, and he is *desperate* to cut a deal. But Mueller isn’t.😎
1. MANAFORT AGREED TO PLEA DEAL WITH MUELLER. Politely bear in mind, no matter what we actually SEE of this, given the evidence Mueller has, there's NO WAY Mueller entered a plea deal without meaningful cooperation. The cooperation part? Can easily be sealed.
2. This means Manafort could easily do the same as Cohen. Just plead guilty to n. counts, and we don't see any "cooperation" agreement. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The two can easily be separated, with the cooperation agreement sealed for obvious reasons here.
3. I absolutely don't think the news about the "joint defense agreement" is current and I also think it is being put out for a specific reason. It's clear that there's been coordinated effort to make everyone think Manafort won't "flip" . That's the easiest way to protect him.
1. Manafort is INDEED in talks with prosecutors (MEANING MUELLER bc HE is the prosecutor in this case) about a possible plea deal. BLOOP, people. BLOOP!
2. Two people familiar with the matter "cautioned that the negotiations may not result in a deal with special counsel Robert Mueller". Naturally, bc there won't be a deal unless Manafort sings like the birdiest birdie that has ever sung.
3. "But the discussions indicate a possible shift in strategy for Manafort" No kidding. When the prospect of the rest of his life in prison materialized, Manafort finally saw that oopsie, he was cornered and if he ever wanted to enjoy life again? Best to talk to Mueller, stat.
OH IMAGINE THAT. Guess who knows all about this? Michael Cohen. Who took care of this type of business. FOR TRUMP.
2. The details of the story are BEYOND disgusting but pay attention to this detail that former Playmate Shera Bechard cites in her LAWSUIT against Broidy: "Bechard recalled Broidy telling her that he admired Trump’s "uncanny ability to sexually abuse women and get away with it.""
3. "Among Bechard’s allegations are that Broidy refused to wear condoms and didn’t disclose to her that he had genital herpes until years after their sexual relationship, according to a court filing. "
Not even going to comment.

1. Bruce Ohr is the Justice Department lawyer who was told by Christopher Steele that Russian intelligence believed it had Trump "over a barrel". Start seeing why Trump is going after him?
2. These details pertain to a breakfast that happened on July 30, 2016. Ohr described the breakfast to CONGRESS this week in a private interview. And that's how the GOP Trump lackeys went to tell Trump, he found out and decided he can't have a witness at DoJ.
3. So if Trump so much as THINKS of touching Bruce Ohr, that is direct obstruction of justice, and his tweets already constitute witness tampering. AND everyone in Congress who was present at the interview KNOWS that. Just so you know who to hold accountable.
What if I told you the White House was bugged? What if @realDonaldTrump publicized it 15 months ago? What if Mueller is investigating those who bugged the White House? Why are people still ignoring it! #Spygate #MuellerInvestigation 
@realDonaldTrump 2) I'm going to lead you through several incidents that show how serious the misconduct of our senior intelligence community leaders were. You will see the timelines in an entirely new light. You'll see the #WhiteHats for who they really are.
@realDonaldTrump 3) On 5/8/17 President Trump directed Deputy Attorney General to draft a letter because he was firing FBI Director James Comey. Rosenstein said the discussion started in one of his first meetings with Attorney General Jeff Sessions over the Winter. npr.org/2017/05/19/529…
1. What Cohen's actually explosive knowledge of facts covers, that can make the entire house of cards crash: the hacking and the Trump Tower meeting, both of which TRUMP KNEW about and in the hacking case, an event Trump even encouraged.
2. In the case of the hacking, there's a $50,000 mysterious payment Cohen made to an undisclosed tech company to help the Trump campaign, that awfully sounds like the arrangements the Steele dossier says Cohen made to pay off Russian hackers "without it being traced".
3. Cohen's lawyer Lanny Davis specifically said on @maddow that Cohen has knowledge about the hacking that is of interest for Mueller. And the detail of the tech company payment emerged from the indictment. If the connection is accurate (and it seems like it is), this is huge.
Um... so there's news here. 1) McGahn was interviewed by Mueller and "cooperated extensively" with Mueller's team. And 2) there's no way saying that Trump tried to ensure control of the Mueller probe is in NO WAY favorable to Trump. That's obstruction.
2. McGahn shared "detailed accounts" about episodes pertaining to the obstruction of justice investigation, "including some that investigators would not have learnt otherwise". Read: McGahn delivered Trump to Mueller on obstruction on a silver platter. Bloop!
3. This adds up to the previous report that dozens of WH aides, some of which working for McGahn, were interviewed by Mueller AND delivered key evidence for Mueller's obstruction case. The danger for Trump is NOT Mueller, it comes from HIS OWN AIDES who WON'T go to jail for him.

McGahn shared details on @Comey's firing & Trump’s obsession w/putting a "loyalist" in charge of the #TrumpRussia probe (e.g., Sessions). McGahn was also centrally involved in Trump’s attempts to fire Mueller, which investigators might not have discovered w/o McGahn.🔥 3/
1. This needs to be threaded bc the connections Broidy has directly to the Russia investigation are multiple and widespread. AND this specific new investigation is about? CHINA. You know, the other can of worms that hasn't been quite opened yet.
2. "The Justice Department is investigating whether longtime Republican fundraiser Elliott Broidy sought to sell his influence with the Trump administration by offering to deliver U.S. government actions for foreign officials in exchange for tens of millions of dollars."
3. "As part of the investigation, prosecutors are scrutinizing a plan that Broidy allegedly developed to try to persuade the Trump govt to extradite a Chinese dissident back to his home country, a move sought by Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to two of the people."
1. Remember that WH memo written by McGahn, confidential, that we discussed a while ago? The one detailing a timeline of events leading up to Flynn's resignation? It's in Mueller's hands.Bloop!
2. The reporter for this story has been allowed to READ the memo in its entirety as well as other underlying WH records quoted in the memo, such as other notes and memos written by McGahn and other senior administration officials.
3. The reporter also interviewed a dozen former and current WH officials, attorneys who have interacted with Mueller's team and witnesses questioned by Mueller.

1. So, Agalarov remembers talking to Don jr. before the Trump tower meeting. And he says so in an interview with Vice News. Trump Jr. lied. Again. Like father, like son.
2. A full transcript of Jr's testimony to the Senate Judiciary Cmte was released in May: it showed that Agalarov called Jr, Jr then received a call from "a blocked number" (we know that was Trump himself, unless one wants to not understand) and then he called Agalarov back.
3. Despite this, Jr. kept insisting that "I do not recall speaking to Emin. It is possible that we left each other voice mail messages. I simply do not remember". Which is amazing and an incredibly ridiculous excuse. But let's go on.

1. FINALLY news that's worth covering and talking about. remember, people? THE RUSSIA INVESTIGATION and the conspiracy the ENTIRE TRUMP CAMPAIGN was part of with the Kremlin IS WHERE IT'S AT. THAT is what will DESTROY all of them, bc TREASON. So, Paulie... Russian loan, huh?
2. While this had been reported, there was NO official confirmation that Oleg Deripaska had given Manafort a $10 mln loan. Now according to unsealed search warrant application for Manafort's Virginia apartment, there is official confirmation from tax returns the FBI reviewed.
3. The affidavit attached to the search warrant request that's been unsealed, says the FBI reviewed tax returns for a company controlled by Manafort and his wife. It also says (again which we knew but not officially) that Deripaska financially backed Manafort's work in Ukraine.

Mueller’s reported acceleration is consistent w/reports that Roger Stone & Michael Cohen soon will be indicted. Plus, Mueller wouldn’t want to interfere w/midterms, so this likely puts the timing btwn now and mid-September.😀 3/

1. BIG news here that I missed earlier (Sorry). Means that FBI is looking into Cohen's payments violating campaign laws and/or other federal laws. That includes NE paying McDougal to catch her story and suppress it (or "catch and kill").
2. Very relevant here is the fact that McDougal said in her lawsuit against the publisher of the NE in March, that "she realized after the fact the payment was intended to muzzle her during the campaign."
3. Since McDougal has sued the NE publisher and she is the person directly involved in affair and payments, it's reasonable to think prosecutors will interview her re: her deal with Keith Davidson, who also represented Stormy Daniels initially.

BREAKING: Michael Cohen is preparing to flip, per ABC report.
2. Cohen's current llaw firm is not expected to represent him going forward. This strongly suggests Cohen is preparing to flip and changing representation to somebody experienced specifically in plea deals. No replacement counsel has been identified yet.
3. Sources specifically told ABC that Cohen, now with no legal representation, IS LIKELY TO COOPERATE WITH FEDERAL PROSECUTORS IN NY. This development is believed to be IMMINENT. cc @MichaelAvenatti
