🔥MEANWHILE >> A NEW MUELLER INDICTMENT‼️

How surreal to watch pomp and circumstance for Trump in London alongside mass protests. And now new charges in Russia probe on Friday 13th.

#TGIF #TFIMueller
#TrumpRussia
BREAKING Rosenstein: Mueller indicts 12 Russian military intelligence officers from 2 GRU units in hacking DNC and disseminating documents via DCLeaks and Guccifer2.0—both created and controlled by Russia's GRU.
NEW #Mueller indictment makes 25 Russians now charged for crimes in Russia's 2016 election interference. Hacking includes election boards & stealing voter data. Rosenstein told Trump last week. He emphasized that this shouldn't be approached politically. "We must be united." Wow.
NEW Mueller indictment sucks the air out of Trump's disinformation campaign. Amazingly continues witch hunt propaganda—despite having been told in advance by Rosenstein. Just today he said "Rigged Russian witch hunt" harms relations. Putin harmed those relations & he's mtg him?!
Stunning: Trump continued his disinformation campaign against Mueller even tho he knew of new indictment of 12 Russians—Rosenstein told him. He said today "witch hunt" harms US-Russia relations. This is Putin's line too. Putin harmed those relations! TRUMP: CALL OFF THIS SUMMIT!
Trump grudgingly said today "Ok, I'll ask him about meddling." With ironclad evidence and indictments, it's a catastrophic mistake for Trump to sit alone with the guy who ordered this enormous criminal conspiracy against the US, throwing our country in chaos. CANCEL PUTIN SUMMIT!
Worth noting: Trump "witch hunt" language is coopted from Russian propaganda. Putin, Lavrov, Peskov use same language. I've pointed this out many times, including thread below.
Key in new Mueller indictment: Russia hacked not only Clinton campaign & DNC, they hacked the DCCC. Russia manipulated US Congressional races, and is poised to do it again in midterms. They help Trump who pushes Putin's agenda. Strzok hearing farce is only possible w GOP in power
I've long suspected Russia helped Trump win Republican nomination too, not just the presidential election, using active measure to knock out GOP candidates tough on Russia. Mueller indictment says hackers searched for "cruz" during primaries.
#TrumpRussia #CancelPutinSummit
On June 8 Russia's conspirators set up DCLeaks website which published the hacked, stolen emails of Democrats. RIGHT AFTER Trump Jr sent email to set up Trump Tower Meeting. I wrote about that June meeting being a signal to Putin to launch the weaponization part of the attack
#BREAKING McCain: Trump must be willing to confront Putin from a position of strength and demonstrate there will be a serious price to pay for his ongoing aggression…If Trump's "not prepared to hold Putin accountable, the summit in Helsinki should not move forward.” #CANCELPUTIN
"TO Russia With Love"— I wrote about the Significance of June 9 Trump Tower Meeting as a Signal to Putin to launch weaponization phase of the Kremlin election attack. Mueller's indictment today shows Russian hackers got Trump campaign message loud & clear. medium.com/@PaulaChertok/…
Mueller indictment makes clear Putin took Trump’s shocking July 27, 2016 plea to hack Clinton emails as a signal. WITHIN HOURS of "Russia, if you're listening,” Conspirators began a mass spearphish attack. This adds to the already damning timeline of events after Trump Tower mtg.
Weak WH response: No American charged w/ a crime in THIS indictment. Mueller is not done. More importantly, indictment makes clear TRUMP & HIS CAMPAIGN ENCOURAGED RUSSIA'S CRIMES. That's outrageous enough. But there's more. Trump is still covering for Putin. #CancelPutinSummit
History will judge Trump a traitor. He encouraged Russia's unprecedented hybrid information war attack on America while he actively deceived the public w/ his own propaganda campaign—TO THIS DAY. In so doing, he aided & abetted our aggressor, protecting Putin instead of America.

#BREAKING Nikki Haley Resigned as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations via @NYTimes nyti.ms/2A0IDZ7?smid=n…
Nikki Haley resigns as UN ambassador, after meeting with Trump in WH—reportedly planned for 6 mos. Odd timing, tho, for Trump to lose a top woman after Kavanaugh & right before midterms? She’s been a notable loud voice against Russia’s malign acts. Will her replacement be also?
Nikki Haley profusely praises Trump and the family. Ivanka’s great and “Jared is a hidden genius that no one understands.” A bit over the top. But you can’t work for Trump unless you blather on like a sycophant. I bet she can’t wait to get the hell out of the embarrassment admin.

⚡️Mueller is unraveling a MAJOR & dark thread in Russia investigation. (Dead) GOP operative Peter Smith apparently wired money to hackers as "Russian students" at same time Clinton emails were released by Wikileaks. Elaborate secrecy & planned projects suggest foul play. THREAD👇
So GOP operative PETER SMITH had an elaborate & well-funded scheme to get Clinton emails. In email w/ apparent hacker, they discuss wiring $150k to "Russian students" & being pleased w/ released Clinton emails just days after Wikileaks releases in Oct. wsj.com/articles/gop-o…
This is the first reporting I've seen casting some doubt on GOP operative Peter SMITH's suicide. Hours before his death, he spoke w/ a financier about another anti-Clinton project. He was excited & brainstorming about how to proceed. Financier was stunned when he heard of suicide

🕯#OTD Oct 7, 2006: Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya murdered to silence her fierce voice on Putin mafia state corruption, atrocities, propaganda. Her truth is louder today: Putin's guard dogs hurtling Russia back to USSR abyss…Journalists risk death, bullet, poison, trial.
#Politkovskaya was a journalist & human rights activist, not distinct in authoritarian Russia. Anna said journalists owe duty to tell the truth about the state. One last investigation was into mass poisoning of Chechen schoolchildren, authorities gaslighted as media mass hysteria
Before Trump, Americans might've read #Politkovskaya reports of gaslighting officials who blame media hysteria to cover up the poisoning of schoolchildren as absurd. We see now that gaslighting propaganda is a hallmark of illegitimate authoritarian states. theguardian.com/world/2006/mar…

Oh gawd. Collins is repeating a Republican talking point about Democrats deciding before Kavanaugh was named to oppose him. So, folks, there you have it. OK for Republicans not to let Obama nominee have a hearing for a year, but Dems can't oppose a man, now credibly discredited.
.@SenatorCollins, what a disappointment. She's reciting Kavanaugh's judicial record, but nothing about his overt lack of judicial temperament. Truly shocking. It's not just Trump. Republicans behave like Soviets, believing the ends justify the means. Every damn time. Wow
@SenatorCollins Collins now sounds like Senator Kennedy: "I asked him point blank if anyone influenced his decisions…he said NO" "Judge Kavanaugh fits w/in the mainstream of legal thought." Now she's citing ABA, who just announced they're reopening their evaluation. What a farce. Sorry, America

Grassley: “In another era, Kavanaugh would’ve been confirmed with a unanimous vote.” He ain’t wrong! And blames “left-wing” conspiracies. NEWS for Mr Grassley & Republicans: Women are constituents NOT conspirators! The era of dismissing women, our stories & our rights is OVER!
Schumer: Kavanaugh was problematic from the day he was named by hard-right special interests. The dam broke with Dr Ford’s sexual assault allegations. Republicans blame Democrats bc they have a flawed nominee. It’s the shameful culmination of scorched-earth politics of hard right
Schumer: Kavanaugh was evasive bc he knows his views are deeply at odds w/ the progress America’s made in the last century of jurisprudence & at odds w/ what most Americans believe…If you have doubts abt his credibility, don’t confirm. Ask Pres for another name. Save the Senate.

More on that bar-room brawl, adding to a pattern of a belligerent & aggressive drunk/Supreme Court nominee: Kavanaugh wasn’t satisfied w an answer a guy in a bar gave him, so picked a fight, threw a glass of beer in the guy’s face. There’s a police report. apple.news/Am3cwBQu-TEKqo…
Yale classmate who witnessed a bar fight: What the incident illustrates about Kavanaugh “is just the aggressiveness that came along with the alcohol, the hair-trigger machismo… [T]hat was kind of Brett’s shtick. He was aggressive… belligerent” when drinking.
The most 80s thing ever: They were drinking pints at a bar after a UB40 concert & Kavanaugh was sure some guy was the lead singer Ali Campbell. He wasn’t but Brett started a fight b/c of how the guy talked to him. (BTW UB40’s big hit was “Red Red Wine”🍷) nyti.ms/2xUsgvG
