THREAD: Remember the claims by @realDonaldTrump & cronies that he'd sit for an interview w/Mueller⁉️

Trump LIED.🙄

Trump’s lawyers have **for months** tried to prevent Mueller from trying to force Trump to answer questions = #subpoena‼️ 1/

nytimes.com/2018/06/02/us/…
In a letter to Mueller, Trump's lawyers claim that Trump "cannot be compelled" to testify.🙄

WRONG! Mueller can #subpoena Trump to FORCE him to testify **in front of the grand jury**.😎

Trump's lawyers CAN be w/him for an interview, but NOT for grand jury testimony.😉 2/
Trump's lawyers also claim Trump "could not possibly have committed obstruction b/c he has unfettered authority over all federal investigations."🤨

Yeah, just ask Nixon about that‼️3/

#ObstructionOfJustice
#AbuseOfPower
⁉️WHAT⁉️

Trump's lawyers claim that Trump cannot illegally obstruct any aspect of the #TrumpRussia🇷🇺investigation, b/c the Constitution empowers him to, “if he wished, terminate the inquiry, or even exercise his power to #pardon.”

This is #AbuseOfPower in REAL TIME‼️ 4/
Trump is BOXED IN.😎

His lawyers fear that if Trump answers questions – either in a voluntary interview or in front of a grand jury (#subpoena) – he will LIE = "other high crimes or misdemeanors = #impeachment.🔥 5/

The letter was written by John Dowd & Jay Sekulow and hand-delivered to Mueller *in January*👉🏼makes claims that foreshadow a potential #subpoena fight in the months before November’s midterm elections.🤔

Now, you see why Trump is GASLIGHTING‼️ 6/

Mueller told Trump's lawyers that he needs to talk to Trump to determine if he had criminal intent to obstruct the #TrumpRussia 🇷🇺 probe. If Trump refuses an interivew, Mueller can #subpoena him to testify before the grand jury.😎 7/
Mueller discussed a #subpoena w/Dowd **in March**.😎

Now, Emmet Flood (Trump's newest lawyer) is preparing for a #subpoena, according to Rudy Giuliani.😉

Because they KNOW that #MuellerIsComing. 8/

#ObstructionOfJustice
#AbuseOfPower
#ImpeachTrump
Mueller would prefer NOT to #subpoena Trump (avoids legal battle, delays). But Trump's lawyers *really* do NOT want a #subpoena, b/c they likely would LOSE any court battle over it‼️ 9/

#ObstructionOfJustice
#MuellerIsComing
🔥In addition to this ridiculous letter by Trump's lawyers, Trump & cronies are GASLIGHTING us w/lies & trying to SMEAR the DOJ/FBI to pre-empt a potentially damaging Mueller report that could prompt #impeachment proceedings.😎 10/

#MuellerIsComing

Friends, #gaslighting (using blatant lies to hide the truth) is what DESPERATELY guilty people do, not innocent ones.

And Trump **is** DESPERATE‼️ 11/

#MuellerIsComing

denagrayson.com/2018/06/01/don…
Trump’s lawyers are gambling that Mueller may not want to risk an attempt to forge new legal ground by bringing a grand jury #subpoena against a sitting president into a CRIMINAL proceeding.🤨

Good luck w/that.🤣😂🤣

That will NOT stop Mueller‼️12/

#MuellerTime
#subpoena
Trump's lawyers claim that Trump did not commit #ObstructionOfJustice by claiming that b/c of the authority the Constitution gives him, it is impossible for him to obstruct justice by shutting down a case or firing a subordinate, no matter his motivation.🤣😂🤣 13/
This is RIDICULOUS‼️

Trump's lawyers' argument went from no #ObstructionOfJustice👉🏼he "cannot" obstruct⁉️ 14/

Gotta take a break for 15 - 30 min...brb.
Just returned...picking up the thread on Trump's impending #subpoena now!🤗
If Trump's lawyers think that they can squirm out from a #subpoena, they better think again. Bill Clinton was subpoenaed by Ken Starr in a NON-criminal investigation & then negotiated terms for his testimony via video.

Trump CANNOT escape the #RuleOfLaw.😎 15/

#MuellerIsComing
Trump's lawyers claim Trump could not have obstructed justice b/c he did not know Flynn was under investigation when he asked @Comey to drop the case. They claim this is b/c FLYNN told senior WH officials before he was fired that he was not under FBI scrutiny.🙄

Total LIE‼️16/
Trump is LYING that he didn't know that Flynn was being investigated.

☝🏼Flynn *told* WH Counsel McGahn in January that he was under investigation
✌🏼Sally Yates told the WH that Flynn was under CRIMINAL investigation

17/
 #ObstructionOfJustice

Trump's lawyers claim that FBI investigations don't qualify as a “proceeding” under the #ObstructionOfJustice statute (not yet in court).🙄

The MORONS cited the WRONG law👉🏼Congress passed a law in 2002 that makes it a CRIME to obstruct proceedings that haven't yet started. 18/
Plus, Trump's lawyers' arguments do NOT apply to Trump's attempts to obstruct a grand jury investigation or trial — which DO count as proceedings‼️

They literally have NO argument to defend Trump. This looks like the equivalent of a legal "Hail Mary" pass.😎 19/
⁉️WHAT⁉️

Trump's lawyers not only claim that Trump is innocent, but also cast him as the hero of the Flynn episode b/c he ordered his aides to investigate Flynn & ultimately fired him.🙄

This is a TOTAL LIE‼️ 20/
VP Pence knew. WH Counsel McGahn knew. Flynn knew. They ALL knew that Flynn was under CRIMINAL investigation at least a month before Flynn was fired.🤨

The ONLY reason Flynn was fired was b/c the WaPo exposed his #treason conversations w/Kislyak‼️ 21/

Trump's lawyers admit that Trump dictated Don Jr's statement (LIE) to NYTimes about the 2016 #RussianLawyer🇷🇺meeting, but claim Trump's statement that Jr met w/Russians “primarily” to discuss adoption issues — was “short but accurate.”🙄 22/
Trump's lawyers admit that Trump dictated Don Jr's statement to NYTimes about the 2016 #RussianLawyer🇷🇺meeting, but say that although it's misleading (that Jr met w/#Russians about "adoption"), it's “short but accurate.”

Another LIE‼️ 23/

It is NOT a crime to LIE to the press, but Mueller is probing if Trump's dictated statement for Jr revealed that he was trying to COVER UP proof of the campaign’s ties w/#Russia — meaning, he likely had the same intention when he took other actions.🤨 24/

#ObstructionOfJustice
Trump’s lawyers also try to defend Trump's admission to #ObstructionOfJustice in his interview w/@LesterHoltNBC, when he said that he fired @Comey b/c of “this #Russia thing."

Team🇺🇸Mueller views Trump's statement as DAMNING‼️😎 25/

#MuellerIsComing

Trump's lawyers claim that complete interview makes clear Trump "was willing, even expecting, to let the investigation take more time, though he thinks it is ridiculous, because he believes that the American people deserve to have a competent leader of the FBI.”🙄 26/
🎥WATCH for yourself. Here is @realDonaldTrump's interview w/@LesterHoltNBC. Start at the 1 minute mark. 27/

#Busted
#ObstructionOfJustice

Trump is BOXED IN. If he interviews w/Mueller, he will LIE👉🏼crime & impeachable offense. If he continues to refuse an interview, Mueller likely will #subpoena him & FORCE him to testify.😎

Trump CLEARLY has NO defense. He & the rest of Team🇷🇺Traitor are TOAST‼️

Trump's deputy campaign chair Rick Gates solicited proposals (#felony) from Israeli firm Psy Group to create fake online personas, use social media manipulation & gather intel to help defeat @GOP primary opponents (@tedcruz) & @HillaryClinton🤨1/
nytimes.com/2018/10/08/us/…
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‼️

Nader is COOPERATING.😎 2/

George Birnbaum (Arthur Finkelstein protégé/@GOP consultant who worked for Netanyahu & other Israeli officials) initially pitched Gates on using social media influence/manipulation to sway @GOP delegates toward Trump.🤨 3/

🔥@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.”

Hey @SenatorCollins,

It’s not too late to change your vote! #Kavanaugh LIED to the Senate (#felony) about his finances.🤨

Who paid off his debt? If his family paid, did he report this income to the IRS⁉️

If the House flips, @tedlieu WILL investigate‼️

medium.com/@gregolear/sup…
Hey @lisamurkowski,

You were right and courageous to OPPOSE #Kavanaugh‼️

You might want to reconsider “pairing” your vote with @SteveDaines, because justice will come for #Kavanaugh, sooner than later.😉

Hey @Sen_JoeManchin,

We Democrats realize that you are in a tough re-election battle, but backing #Kavanaugh only brings you more scorn from the @GOP and erodes your much-needed support from @TheDemocrats base.

It’s not too late: vote NO on #Kavanaugh‼️

Connie Chung to Dr. Ford: “I, too, was sexually assaulted—not 36 years ago but ~50 years ago. I kept my dirty little secret to myself. Silence for 5 decades...The exact date & year are fuzzy. But details of the event are vivid—forever seared in my memory.”
washingtonpost.com/amphtml/opinio…
Connie Chung: “Christine, I, too, am terrified as I reveal this publicly. I can’t sleep. I can’t eat. Can you? If you can’t, I understand. I am frightened, I am scared, I can’t even cry.”😰

Chung: “I wish I could forget this truthful event, but I cannot because it is the truth. I am writing to you b/c I know that exact dates, exact years are insignificant. We remember exactly what happened to us & who did it to us. We remember the truth forever.”

I #BelieveHer.❤️

🔥WHOA🔥

Charles Ludington, a former varsity basketball player & friend of #Kavanaugh at @Yale plans to deliver a statement to the @FBI field office in Raleigh on Monday detailing **violent drunken behavior** by Kavanaugh in college. 1/

washingtonpost.com/amphtml/powerp…
Ludington says #Kavanaugh initiated a fight that led to the ARREST of a friend: “When Brett got drunk, he was often belligerent & aggressive...” 2/
“On one of the last occasions I purposely socialized with Brett, I witnessed him respond to a semi-hostile remark, not by defusing the situation, but by throwing his beer in the man’s face and starting a fight that ended with one of our mutual friends in jail.”😳 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.🤔
