REALLY BIG DEAL:

The FBI may be finished with its probe of #Kavanaugh by MONDAY MORNING!!!

That's tomorrow.

The White House & accomplices in the Senate, including Grassley & McConnell, want to pretend they've done a real probe.

We need calls now... nytimes.com/2018/09/30/us/… #CallToAction:

We have a democracy, w/independent institutions, norms & importantly, checks/balances.

But this is the kind of sham probe that occurs in de facto 1-party autocracies (like Russia.)

Call & demand a real probe ASAP. Race against the clock.

House Freedom Caucus members filed Articles of Impeachment against
Deputy AG Rod #Rosenstein ("Mueller's boss") claiming he hasn't been responsive to their demands for documents regarding the #Mueller investigation.

What does it mean & what do we do? 1/5
thehill.com/policy/nationa… The Articles of Impeachment against Rosenstein have been filed in a parliamentary "end run" around leadership and do not have the support of @SpeakerRyan or @TGowdySC.

No vote is expected anytime soon and it is highly unlikely the House would approve them anyways. 2/5

A DC Grand Jury has indicted 12 Russian military officers for their role in hacking the DCCC, DNC, state election software & more.

The info obtained was released by Guccifer 2.0 & DCLeaks in order to influence the election.

Several Americans communicated w/them per Rosenstein.

https://twitter.com/LauraAJarrett/status/1017802470129586176

The goal of the conspirators was to influence the 2016 election, per Rosenstein.

By indicting these operatives of the Russian government, the DOJ is backing up the Senate Intel report determining Russia attacked the U.S.

Trump meets w/Putin tomorrow.

State of the #TrumpRussia investigation THREAD 1/8:

Despite President Trump's propaganda about #Mueller engaging in a 'Witch Hunt,' the facts betray a different narrative that is an existential threat to Trump's presidency.

h/t @Zac_Petkanas Developments in #Mueller's probe have led to a panicked atmosphere among co-conspirators in the White House & their congressional allies.

There are 5 major reasons for this panic.

1) 23 indictments, 5 guilty pleas & 1 sentencing

2) Michael Cohen is close to flipping.

Putin's Ideological War THREAD 1/8:

Trump & the modern GOP are symptoms of Russian war unleashed upon the U.S. population.

Knowledge is key to winning this war & preventing Kremlin-inspired radicalization of our people.

Must read by @KirkseniyaSF. ⬇️
kyivpost.com/article/opinio… "The Kremlin creates special mini-ideologies...aimed at specific social groups."

The first such group Kirillova discusses is RW ideologically religious. To that end, the Kremlin seeks to target activities & propaganda at Christian groups inclined to "protect Christianity." 2/8

When it rains it pours. ⛈️

Wednesday was an outrageously busy day in #TrumpRussia news & revelations, so we did our best to summarize for you.

This THREAD is formatted as:

🔹A) What happened?
🔹B) Why is it important?

In conclusion, we remind you what YOU can do to help. 1A) The Senate Judiciary Committee released all transcripts/documents (some redactions) from its investigation into Russian interference and potential Trump campaign coordination. judiciary.senate.gov/press/releases…

Thanks to Stormy & @MichaelAvenatti, we now have a much greater understanding of how Trump's Michael Cohen-based #PayToPlay funnel works.

It looks a lot like Cohen was selling access & influence.
