Once again, it's becoming difficult to keep all the pieces of Trump/Russia straight in my head. Let's have a go at it.

The key players in Trump/Russia were the ones who had the most direct dealings with the Russians. They are: Paul Manafort, Mike Flynn, Michael Cohen, Jared Kushner, Jeff Sessions, and Donald Trump pere et fils.

Flynn had already pleaded guilty.
Manafort is indicted on a comical number of charges.
Junior could be busted for the Trump Tower meeting alone.
Sessions is safe for now, but only for now.
Kushner may be the guiltiest of the lot.

Trump has few people in his inner circle. One of them is Michael Cohen, his longtime fixer.
All of Cohen's files, communications, audio recordings, financial transactions, travel records, etc., are now in the hands of the FBI. What we already know is damning.

Yesterday we found out Cohen did indeed go to Prague, as the Steele dossier suggests. Cohen is a MAJOR figure in the dossier, as is Carter Page. It sure looks like the dossier is mostly true. And what it charges is COORDINATION between Trump org and Russia. Highly illegal.

Sorry, I'm back.
That group of miscreants, the ones who NEGOTIATED the quid pro quo with Russia, have been well known for a long time. This is from almost a year ago:

Next we learned about the tech operation, the Facebook/Cambridge Analytica (#CamAnal) stuff...the weird connection between servers at Trump Tower and Russia's Alfa Bank suddenly made sense.
This was the WEAPONIZATION of data, by Russia, with help from Trump's people.

The WEAPONIZATION includes such characters as: Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, the Mercers (who owned part of #CamAnal), Brad Parscale, Julian Assange, and others.
These folks were charged with USING DATA in dirty-trickster ways.

Now, more stuff is coming out.
The bumbling Kushner and Cohen were not the only ones in contact with the Russians. Erik Prince, who is LITERALLY a mercenary, was also a key intermediary. He is smarter than the others, so it took longer for us to find him out.

Erik Prince is critical, because he connects a lot of things together. He was involved with the Weiner/laptop op in October, 2016. He installed his sister in the cabinet. He's met with various shady shieks, and established a backchannel to Putin.

The meeting in the Seychelles is important. Despite Erik Prince's testimony to Congress (perjury), he knew in advance whom he was to meet. And that meeting was facilitated by Elliott Briody.

Broidy is not just a big Trump donor...he was, like Cohen, deputy finance chair of the RNC.
That means he was 1) directly involved in illegal meetings with Russia, and 2) directly involved with fundraising FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

Broidy is the nexus. He connects TRUMP Russia collusion with RNC Russia collusion.
And these GOP fuckers all know it, which is why Paul Ryan is retiring to spend more time with his dirty rubl....er, his family.
And why Devin Nunes obstructs justice like other men run laps.

Michael Cohen is also, or was, deputy finance chair of the RNC. He has been exposed as a mob lawyer.
The three RNC bagmen, this means, are a mob lawyer, a serial sexual assailant, and a secret Putin coddler (who paid his gf to abort their lovechild).

This potentially implicates EVERYONE. Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Trey Gowdy, Kevin McCarthy, Dana Russia-backer, Reince Preibus, Ronna Romney-no-more...the whole dirty rubles lot.

So dirty Congressional Republicans will either resign and hope it goes away (hi, Jason Chaffetz!), or else throw water on the investigation and impugn Robert Mueller and @Comey. They have no other choice. To come clean is to confess guilt.

A few missiles launched half a world away may cause us to glance toward Damascus for a few minutes, but it will not save Trump and the party he brought down.

The NRA is also bankrolled with dirty rubles. National Russia Association, it might as well be called. Which explains that organization's odious behavior. They are trying to save their skin by sending an "attractive" woman to lie. Won't work.

I'm sure I'm missing other stuff, but one more thing:
Mike Pence was hand-picked by Manafort and the Mercers. He was the head of the treason-infused transition team. He was joined at the hip with Rick Gates. He lawyered up early. He's guilty af too.

Keep your eye on the ball, guys. We're in the ninth inning now, with the heart of our order coming up and short-fingered Trump on the mound.
And we WILL prevail.
