I guess this story I wrote before the election with masterful research from @funder @TheDemCoalition about Trump's Saudi business ties seems more important in the wake of revelations that Mueller's #TrumpRussia probe... is now a #TrumpSaudi probe too.

I broke a story about the connection between Qatar Airways and the #TrumpRussia affair last March.

@HuffPost censored my contributor account for writing this story.

Turns out that I was 100% correct.

Does @lpolgreen care to comment?

And here's a nice story I wrote on July 25th, 2016.

Note the title.

Of course, saying such things made us "hyperpartisan" at the time... not people who recognize the problem of a Putin-linked foreign agent directing a political campaign.

After the election @funder and I broke this even larger story of Trump's Russian ties in a major #TrumpLeaks report which got over 500k reads between here and @OccupyDemocrats

@Lawrence the Russian historian Yuri Felshtinsky has written two major stories about my deep dive journalism. He's a world-famous Russian historian. He co-authored a book with Alexander Litvinenko, who Putin poisoned with polonium tea. Solid citation here. english.gordonua.com/amp/news/exclu…
Felshtinsky just released this story, which includes his affirmation of our work on Alexander Torshin and Maria Butina.

Burt Reynolds is gone.

The world has lost a great FSU Seminole alum.

RIP Bandit.
Did you know that Burt Reynolds designed the Noles iconic 1980s uniforms and donated the design to FSU?

He did.

Reynolds was always close to Bobby Bowden and the team.

The biggest Trump supporter in #Florida is the @FloridaGOP gubernatorial nominee @RonDeSantisFL.

@politicofl's @MarcACaputo reports he chose #Miami Republican Rep. Jeanette M. Nunez as his running mate.

This is what she had to say about Donald Trump: archive.is/xDsCt
It looks so nice in the original mobile format.
I guess @RepJNunez has to stop opposing the KKK to join the @RonDeSantisFL campaign?

Right @BillyCorben?

*** THREAD ***

Social Media Analysis of the race for #Miami's easternmost #FL27 Congressional district which has five Democrats vying to be the nominee (and presumptive front-runner) to replace Ileana Ros-Lehtinen.

I used @crowdtangle to analyze all 5 candidates last 3 months.
Twitter:

@david4florida - highest engagement rate, most retweets
@matthaggman - most popular single post, lowest engagement rate, most posts.
@VOTEHEPBURN - doing better than:
@rosengonzalez - least posts, fewest interactions
@DonnaShalala - nearly fewest posts, underperforming
The most popular post in the entire last 3 months is from @matthaggman who has the most overall engagements by posting more and more material. He's also leading in most posts, almost double Richardson, but has 1/4th of R's engagement rate. Effective tho.

*** THREAD ****

This is the real reason why Russia's Taganskaya mafia calls Alexander Torshin the Godfather.

He's got a private army

Torshin used those credentials to impress the NRA and infiltrate them as part of the #TrumpRussia election attacks.

thesternfacts.com/exclusive-buti…
The Vityaz are a prestigious former brigade of the Russian Ministry of Interior, which have been reorganized into three parts, two of them private.

- A battalion of regulars in RosGvard, Putin's praetorian guard.

- A spetznaz training center
- A private security company
Alexander Torshin frequently shares photos of himself with Vityaz, calling them "his people" and he frequently appears with their Commander, Col. Sergey Lysyuk, who is a Hero of the Russian Federation and Butina spent a considerable amount of time with them too.
