#BREAKING Trump’s lead lawyer is out. John Dowd Resigns in Special Counsel Probe. This comes days after Fox News conspiracy theorist Joe diGenova joined legal team. (Dershowitz would complete the TV team, no?) nyti.ms/2GebgG9 #Mueller #RussiaInvestigation #TrumpRussia

Seems clear where Trump's now headed. He hired diGenova to FoxNewsify his defense. It may work on those already awash in toxic Fox propaganda. But it won't work on Mueller. He'll have to be fired+/Trumpists will manufacture some crisis to end Russia probe. WHERE RU GOP CONGRESS??

UGH John Bolton was seen at the WH today. Is another Fox News blowhard propagandist about to get hired by Trump…to replace McMaster as National Security Adviser?? @ColinKahl is right. We're all gonna die.

What is GOP Congress waiting for? Are they complicit w/ Russia too??

FYI John Bolton has sabotaged US democracy before. He literally stopped the vote re-count in Florida for Bush-Cheney in 2000. An omen of things to come from far-right Republicans, who now stoop to anything & everything for power. (From 2005) thenation.com/article/john-b… #TrumpRussia

With John Bolton as new NSA, we’re seeing the FoxNewsification of the Trump regime. Expect shock & awe theater—chaos, turmoil, incompetence, crisis, even war—as propaganda becomes Trump’s driving force, to stay in power at all costs. Not unlike his role model/benefactor in Russia

A good time to listen to Country Joe and The Fish “I Feel Like I’m Fixin’ to Die Rag” (aka “Well there ain’t no time to wonder why/Whoopee we’re all gonna die) #BoltonBlues

Trump appointing bombastic, belligerent Bolton confirms the fear fmr CIA Dir @JohnBrennan said out-loud just y'day: Trump may purposely manufacture a military crisis/event in North Korea or Iran to divert attention from his Russia & Mueller problems. We are really here, folks.

Trump's next NSA John #Bolton may be tied to #CambridgeAnalytica scandal. His super PAC paid CA $1.15million between 2014-2016. CA's suspended CEO Nix was recorded admitting coordination w/ GOP PACs–illegal under US election law publicintegrity.org/2018/03/20/216… (graphics via @CNN)

More WTAF: John #Bolton made a propaganda video in 2013 extolling #Russia's 'new era of freedom' under #Putin, for Alexander Torshin, the Putin ally who's been cultivating Republicans through the NRA. rawstory.com/2018/03/watch-…

NPR was the first to report John #Bolton's Curious Appearance In A Russian Gun Rights Video. It's more than bizarre if the extreme hawk has a soft spot for Russia, right? Bolton's propaganda video is also noteworthy for being in 2nd Amendment looneyland. npr.org/2018/03/22/595…

Incoming National Security Adviser John Bolton Used Cambridge Analytica’s Fraudulently Obtained Facebook Data to For Militaristic Messaging nytimes.com/2018/03/23/us/…

John Bolton plans to purge dozens of White House officials "believed to be disloyal" as he dismantles McMaster’s National Security team AND he's bringing back Flynn's folks who McMaster fired. I'm surprised Trump doesn't just pardon & bring back Flynn🤯 foreignpolicy.com/2018/03/23/bol…

Bolton's super PAC reaped early benefits of Bannon's Cambridge Analytica's misuse of Facebook data. Remarkably, CA used voter lists to DIRECT them to use Kogan's deceptive FB app…to harvest more data for Bolton (& later Trump). Tame, perhaps, compared to the bribery & extortion.
