36/ To be exact, Don Jr met with 30+ Russian and pro-Russian individuals on October 11, 2016, in Paris. And that is only what we know about. The following day on October 12, Don Jr communicates w Wikileaks.

38/ It should be noted the DM replies from Don Jr to Wikileaks in no way imply that there were not other communications involving Don Jr which have not yet come to light. After all, on April 26, 2016, Papadopoulos learned that Russians had Clinton emails. cnn.com/2017/11/01/pol…
39/ Also, Cambridge Analytica staff were embedded into Trump campaign data ops team. Its CEO, Alexander Nix, emailed Assange in summer 2016, for access to emails from Clinton's private server for the campaign or a pro-Trump PAC. cnn.com/2017/10/25/pol…
40/ All the while, Trump remained a constant murmur in the background, displaying his criminal culpability. JULY 25, 2016:

41/ The NYT (which we all know Trump reads), published a report on July 26, 2016, saying US intelligence agencies told the White House they were “highly confident” that the Russian government hacked the DNC. nytimes.com/2016/07/27/us/…
42/ The very next day, Trump publicly called for Russian govt to hack Clinton private email server: “Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.” washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/w…
43/ From August 8 through mid-September 2016, Roger Stone was communicating w Wikileaks AND w the Russian hacker Guccifer 2.0: m.soundcloud.com/bostonherald/r…
44/ Stone actually even announced on September 16 that Wikileaks was getting ready to dump Clinton emails. In August, he also prognosticated Podesta’s email release. (Id)
45/ And so it goes that Wikileaks “began” communicating directly w Don Jr on September 20, 2016, 3-weeks before he went to Paris to meet in person with Russians & pro-Putinists. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
46/ But, hey, let’s not forget Rebekah Mercer’s role in all of this. She was a deep pocket, smack-dab in the middle of this sedition: wsj.com/articles/trump…
47/ For details about the Mercers, and how they conspired with the Kremlin to undermine our election, read: twitter.com/i/moments/8631…
48/ Don Jr wasted no time. On September 21, 2016 he emailed senior campaign officials about WikiLeaks. A transcript of those communications is posted to this thread under the Rob Goldstone Moment, above.
49/ Intermission Time 🍿🍿🍿Let’s not forget who hated Comey and wanted him gone once some of this information came to light. The Mercers rewarded the GOP nicely on the day Comey was fired:

53/ Also on October 7, 2016, October 7, 2016 WikiLeaks began releasing Podesta emails.

56/ To put things in perspective, Trump sent that October 11 tweet as Don Jr was in Paris meeting with Russian & pro-Putinists. (supra). This is what we call “incriminating evidence” 👍🏼 It is also what we call “proof of substantial steps made in furtherance of a conspiracy”.

67/ Mueller may also be within the scope of his enabling powers to investigate crimes which have occurred since the election, as part of attempts to conceal the election conspiracy crimes. SEE: twitter.com/i/moments/9272…
68/ Mueller for SURE will use the obstruction of justice & perjury laws in his quiver. SEE: twitter.com/i/moments/8753…
69/ The reach of this conspiracy is enormous. Remember, co-conspirators need not be aware of the acts of other conspirators to be charged criminally for them. twitter.com/i/moments/8870…
71/ For sure, however, those with the greatest liability are those who knowingly conspired with the Kremlin to undermine our election: twitter.com/i/moments/8630…
72/ For every action, there is a reaction. For every lie, there is a potential criminal charge. twitter.com/i/moments/8896…
73/ Trump knew he could not win without assistance from his Russian mob buddies like #SemionMogilevich which is why he was in St Petersburg, Russia in February 2014. twitter.com/i/moments/8888…
74/ She’s come undone. America has come undone. Brace yourselves, good citizens, for the struggle at our door. Will we be a nation of tyranny, Christofascism & white supremacy which disdains the positive laws which give rise to our inalienable rights? Or will we—together—rise up?

Senator Collins is waning on about interest groups against Kavanaugh but IGNORES dark money interest groups in support of Kavanaugh.
Senator Collins references Kavanaugh’s judicial record. She disagrees w notion he will eliminate ACA protections, pointing to his dissent in Holder. She argues that his views on severability is narrow.
She addresses the concern about Kavanaugh protecting the POTUS. She argues that Kavanaugh defers to legislative authority. She argues Clinton got 2 justices confirmed while under Whitewater investigation and 3 Nixon appointees ruled against Nixon ruled against Nixon.
1/ Here is what really bothers me about Kavanaugh: he feels he deserves everything he has and will have because he has earned it. This is a uniquely Calvinist-origin ideology. It is also precisely one of the things which **theologically** distinguishes Catholics from Protestants.
2/ The implications are enormous if one considers the reverse scenario: those to whom life has brought hardship are unworthy, lazy, and have not “earned” their way. Protestant-Calvinist thinking is deeply entrenched in American culture, especially at Yale. christianity.com/church/denomin…
3/ If Kavanaugh adhered to Catholic teaching, he would have by this age internalized that it is mandatory we give a preferential option to the poor. He would practice the Corporal Works of Mercy. He would NOT insist that his success is due to his own merit or worth.
A new article discussing Deripaska, Steele, Waldman, and Assange by @IgnatiusPost requires some serious unpacking. Christopher Steele worked for Deripaska in 2012. (washingtonpost.com/opinions/a-gop…)
Deripaska was interviewed by the FBI in 2015, 2016, and possibly in 2017.
In 2009, while Mueller was FBI Director, the FBI conducted a covert outreach to Deripaska to locate missing CIA contractor Robert Levinson. (I believe this was accomplished through John McCain).
), and dissect the “Kavanaugh Catholic” — with the caveat I, too am a Catholic.
2/ First, we all witnessed Kavanaugh last night make several public pronouncements, to wit:
“I was a virgin.”
“I was busy studying.”
“I was the Captain of my football team.”
“I have never sexually assaulted anyone, ever.”
3/ Kavanaugh had his wife by his side, who vouched for him throughout. He also claimed to have spent his career as a champion for women and women’s issues. Neither Kavanaugh nor his wife (whom he met after high school) addressed the bevy of mounting evidence against him.
In accordance w the Violence Against Women & Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2013 (“VAWA 2013”), officers and/or investigators may not require victims of sexual assault to submit to a polygraph test or other truth-telling devices.
INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF CHIEFS OF POLICE SEXUAL ASSAULT RESPONSE
POLICY AND TRAINING CONTENT GUIDELINES — The Senate Judiciary Committee is doing everything WRONG.
The unwarranted exertion of control by @ChuckGrassley over a putative sexual assault victim violates every single guideline recommendation of the Intl Assoc of Chiefs of Police.
