1/ Btw the “bait” theory, that DJT purposely baited Obama/Clinton into taking corrupt actions, has been strongly reinforced by the revelations since the @GenFlynn plea.
2/ Trump created an environment that looked like he was fighting a backchannel proxy war. Clinton had Ukraine and Trump had Russia. I mean he flew around with Flynn, hired Manafort and was a Roger Stone creation. At every step he played up the Russia angle.

1/ It’s almost September. We’re in the home stretch of the midterms and working class Americans are feeling the positive affects of the Trump economic boom. In a survey performed by Harvard-Harris 85% of blue collar workers see their lives headed in the right direction.
2/ These blue collar workers see that things are better off for themselves, 55%, and a whopping 88% say their children will have a better future than they will. It’s not just the economy that is booming, its confidence.
3/ This group of blue collar workers tend to lean Democrat (35-31%) But the see Republicans are doing a better job of helping blue collar Americans (39-36%).
1/ A thread on how Trump will ensure Republicans hold the House in 2018. I say how because it’s as much about the operational and tactical as it is about the message. The special elections are over and Republicans won 8/9.
2/ 89% is a pretty good percentage considering how much money, time, energy and significance that Democrats invested in each of these races. realclearpolitics.com/articles/2018/…
3/ It’s not just about the percentage. It’s about how Trump and the RNC tipped these races in the favor of the Republican.
1/ Gonna write a quick thread cuz I have no time but this is so crucial.
Read the pics. This is what corruption and manufactured evidence to justify surveillance that is outside the appropriate function of FISA looks like.
2/ The called him Source #1 and never revealed his bias. In fact they only shared his positives. They manipulated the court.
3/ The truth was that DOJ knew of Steele’s bias. Ohr knew. FBI reports reflected they knew. But Ohr himself had a hidden bias, his wife worked for Steele’s employer.
1/ Excellent article by @ByronYork.
Other than Manafort, Mueller has handed off all of his major cases that would seem to help make a collusion case. Seemingly undercutting the idea he will make such a grand claim against any American (Trump).
2/ The fact that Mueller publicly indicted 12 Russian intelligence officers indicated he has no intention of ever prosecuting anyone. If he had intended to, he would have sealed the indictments and attempted to secure at least one of the defendants. The charges were political.
3/ So why did Mueller indict the 12 intelligence officers publicly? It was absolutely political. A momentary defense of FBI/DOJ. An attempt to validate the Russian interference claim. Will it stand up to the test of time? I don’t think so.
1/ There was no further evidence put forward that Russians hacked than was previously known.
Yet Rod jumps in the pool. If the speculation is right that this was all cover after the fact and the spearfish was a non Russian entity or a CIA operation then Rod has trapped himself.
2/ Because if later it can be shown that it wasn’t the Russians it makes the last 2 years of investigation being managed by Rod look like a railroad and a fake.
3/ Rod has now done two things. He has cleared “any American” (Trump) of knowledge or participation AND he has put his chips in on the “Russians (Putin) did it” theory.
1/ Here’s a question. If POTUS (Nixon) was required to turn over “private” recordings made in the WH shouldn’t FBI agents be required to turn over “private” work related messages?
2/ This is where Huber and age and jury comes in. In the IG report it refers to a denied request to receive “private” emails but the texts clearly show using those coms was tactical and designed to avoid oversight. Huber is very likely to subpoena those records.
3/ Given how bold the corrupt actors were on work devices the odds are those other messages are going to be explosive. So what kind topics may get revealed? Well the heart of the conspiracy to engineer the soft landing that let Coney conclude “no reasonable prosecutor”. Guccifer.
