THREAD: Some iconic images of today's pension protests in Russia

rferl.org/a/russians-vot…

Nearly 1,000 people were detained by police, including children and the elderly.
2./ The protests were over the pension age being raised in Russia. This elderly man later collapsed.
3./ People around the world were shocked at scenes of police brutality, when ordinary Russians took to the streets without weapons. Crowds shouted "Putin is a thief!" #Россия #Москва #СанктПетербург
4./ Many of the scenes on social media came from Moscow, but @RFERL reported the largest demonstrations were in St. Petersburg where over 300 Russians were arrested. @AlexKokcharov posted this photo #СанктПетербург
5./ In cities across Russia, the unrest was real but peaceful protests were countered with overwhelming force. Russia's babushkas, or grandmothers, face a massive hike in the pension age from 55 to 63. #Россия #Москва #СанктПетербург news.sky.com/story/russians…
6./ But the protests involved ordinary Russians of every age. This young man was climbing a lamp pole in St. Petersburg when he was arrested. #Россия #Москва #СанктПетербург
7./ The Russian pension protestors were seen all around the world, although Putin arrested journalists for reporting them. Here former US Ambassador to Russia @McFaul shows a policeman dragging off a little girl.
8./ In many cases, riot police beat protestors with batons. According to reports, Russian families have relied on these pensions when young people could not find jobs.
9./ When riot police were not enough to contain protestors, the Russian military were called in. Russian media said there were protests in Eastern Russia and Siberia as well as major cities. #Россия #Москва #СанктПетербург
10./ Clouds of smoke cover police in riot gear trying to contain protests in Moscow. @navalny had called for the pension protests a month prior. British news called it 'the most unpopular government measure since 2005.' #Россия #Москва #СанктПетербург
Worldwide news coverage noted Putin's approval rating has plunged by 15 points. This sign reads "Putin or Pension?" #Россия #Москва #Путин вор #СанктПетербург news.sky.com/story/russians…
12./ The scale of the demonstrations was massive. Reports said protests took place in 11 Russian time zones, with chants of "shame, shame!" Here are some crowds in Moscow. #Россия #Москва #Путинвор #СанктПетербург
13./ Lastly, one of many images of Putin's @Mod_Russia soldiers abusing Russian children and teens engaged in unarmed protest over a massive national pension hike. Many Russians rely on these pensions to eat. #Россия #Москва #Путин #СанктПетербург

THREAD: It looks as though the @AliWatkins -Wolfe story was more serious even than reported. While he was in a relationship with Watkins, Wolfe was married to the head of @FBI physical security
As @kenklippenstein points out, Jane Rhodes-Wolfe had 20 years @FBI. It must be a concern that info she told her husband went to @AliWatkins, including, perhaps, who came and went in the building
There was a 30 year age difference between @AliWatkins, who is physically attractive, and James Wolfe, who is not. While in relationships, we love people for diverse reasons, this looks improbable as a real love story.

It's handbags at Red Dawn on Team Treason.

Team Manafort vs Team Trump.
Mr. @NunbergSam account is always an interesting read. Here's something else he RTed, no pun intended:
Meanwhile, @RealDonaldTrump is casting genuine shade on @PaulManafort, not fake shade. How can we tell that? Because Trump RTed @CLewandowski_ . Now, isn't that the ultimate shade, @NunbergSam? Manafort had Lewandowski fired and they hate each other, are we right?

Thread: As we reported, SDNY case and federal case were part of the same overall case.

Another scoop at #Patribotics was that Eric Schneiderman had Trump Tower under *state* surveillance for over a year.

Michael Cohen lives in Trump Tower. patribotics.blog/2017/07/18/exc…
With the help of citizen journalists and researchers we proved @MichaelCohen212 lied about being in Los Angeles and that a) he habitually takes private jets b) that switch registrations to avoid detection and c) he could have been in the EU Aug 19-22, 2016 patribotics.blog/2017/02/26/pla…
Leaving aside our reporting on @MichaelCohen212 and one gap in his timeline, let's look at another aspect of tonight's @McClatchyDC report - the taped conversations Cohen made. #SaysWhoSays mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-…
