American lawyer from family purged/murdered by Stalin. If OK for Russia to spy on political opponents in campaign what about now? Russia still trolls for Trump.

Putin is not Obama's enemy, but America's. Trump is not America's president, but Putin's. #BenedictDonald #ImpeachTrump

Never give people power who say there is no limit on power. These R’s who support unlimited exec power re not conserv, they are anti-American

[Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ @tribelaw]

The REASON all Trump roads lead to Moscow is that Trump is so deeply beholden to Putin that he can’t afford to cross his (to put it politely) Kremlin sugar daddy. It explains sanctions relief, Ukraine shakedown, and pretty much all of what passes for Trump’s Russia policy.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Why does Trump express constant and consistent fealty towards Putin?

[Матвій Савицький @4free_Ukraine]

Trump betrayed the Kurds because they weren’t “at Normandy” — weren’t US allies in WW2. Now where did he get that idea? It’s all about who our WW2 allies were? What big, bloated, corrupt, Eurasian, Putin-run country was?

"Trump tried to keep his talks with Putin at Helsinki last year secret from his staff and the world, but Russia's president held up the checklist for the cameras. Syria was on it."https://t.co/fD6Sz2sMA2

The controversies surrounding Ukraine, Syria, and Turkey can all be traced back to the last year's infamous meeting between Trump and Putin.

.@JuliaDavisNews breaks down how countless Kremlin objectives have been accomplished since Helsinki.

The exploding evidence of corruption in the Trump White House is simply incredible. A constant revelation of incompetent sleaze. Trump lies like a grade schooler in the face of obvious facts to the contrary. We are in great danger.

Now why would that be?

@johnburk Also helps having George Monbiot on Guardian staff. And BBC dropping “both sides” climate coverage. Germany & Scandinavia have well-established Green Parties. But I haven’t seen such well-coordinated activism in this country in my lifetime. Amazing the work XR & others are doing

[Матвій Савицький @4free_Ukraine]

@johnburk This is fabulous — would love to see similar momentum here. The Guardian does such fantastic work covering XR. The US media is still lagging. But I read the Guardian every day & I I don’t recall them doing so much coverage last fall when XR started. So now US can catch up!

[Матвій Савицький @4free_Ukraine]

@johnburk “it is keeping kids in the dark about an urgent global problem that will affect the rest of their lives” — really sinister & cynical. Basically defines evil. Good people must rise up and demand the truth. I’m glad that some are!

[Матвій Савицький @4free_Ukraine]

@johnburk Jamey just finished it & was telling me about it tonight - it’s top of my list to read. No question we all have to focus our energy on this devastating situation

[Матвій Савицький @4free_Ukraine]

@johnburk Great thread- the cost to fix this is less than the cost not to, and we routinely spend sums like that on the military industrial tech complex- but like Spock you’re thinking rationally instead of via prejudice outrage anger & resentful hate of everyone who isn’t the same as you

[Матвій Савицький @4free_Ukraine]

@johnburk Just read it. Terrifying.

U.S. District Judge William H. Pauley said some Micheal Cohen documents should stay secret because making them public could jeopardize ongoing investigations, “including those pertaining to or arising from Cohen’s campaign finance crimes.” Donald? https://t.co/PafkS2bu0a

Government entity? *Russian* government entity?

Washington Posts @RoigFranzia says Bezos' team thinks it's possible that the text leaks were politically motivated and that a "government entity" accessed the Bezos texts and hoo boy that's certainly something

Whatever Trump’s personal criminal liability, it’s now proven that the organizations he has run — business, political and governmental — have been populated with actual criminals. https://t.co/2J7Me5mG2x

[Tom Winter @Tom_Winter]

Today was a pretty significant day in two cases:

1) We learn that the SDNY is still investigating the campaign finance crimes that came to light in the Cohen investigation.

2) Transcript shows that Mueller's prosecutors have significant concerns about Manafort's lies:

[Kenneth P. Vogel @kenvogel]

WOW: Per new court filing, KONSTANTIN KILIMNIK, the Russia intelligence-linked PAUL MANAFORT deputy, was in DC for TRUMP's inauguration, & met with Manafort about a Russia-Ukraine peace plan that we know envisioned a role for Russia-aligned former Ukrainian president YANUKOVYCH.

[Kenneth P. Vogel @kenvogel]

MUELLER's team seems to be suggesting here that they believe that KONSTANTIN KILIMNIK was acting on behalf of Russia in his interactions with PAUL MANAFORT during & after the campaign, which would be a big deal, if it could be proven. So far, Mueller has not gone there.
