Need a refresher on Stone's key role in collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia? Check out Season One, Episode 11: "Winning," where @maxbergmann breaks down the evidence against him: https://t.co/pqHDl9bEIU
Trump has reportedly commuted Roger Stone’s sentence.
Hard to imagine a more brazen abuse of power than letting off your own accomplice for deceiving investigators about your collusion with a hostile foreign power’s attack on American democracy. https://t.co/zTb95nIVqC
For a pretty exhaustive background on all the sketchiness involving Trump's finances... there's an @AssetPodcast episode for that! https://t.co/peKeBFxaGH
“It has been treated as so inexplicable why Trump acts in this way. It’s a big mystery. Except it’s really not. You just have to accept the fact that our president is a Russian asset.”
-@MaxBergmann

“In numerous calls with Putin...Trump left top national security aides and his chiefs of staff flabbergasted...because of his manner—inordinately solicitous of Putin's admiration and seemingly seeking his approval.“

Confused about what this all means? Listen to Season One, Episode One of @AssetPodcast, which breaks down how top Trump accomplice Devin Nunes tried to derail the Russia investigation all the way back in March 2017.
https://t.co/1auYljoLgr
More than three years after Nunes' Uber stunts, the administration is once agin trying to undermine the Russia investigation by ginning up a scandal over who "unmasked" that Flynn was the one conspiring with the Russian ambassador to undermine sanctions.

Then, in Episode 11, we tackled the crimes to which he pleaded guilty—which the Department of Justice isn't even saying he didn't commit—and why they're such clear evidence of collusion. https://t.co/Sq9xJKPK6a

Flynn's shady history with Russia was a big part of Season One. In Episode 7, we discussed how he ended up sitting literally right next to Putin at a gala in Moscow shortly before joining Trump's campaign... https://t.co/jHLNC7ZWkg
The Department of Justice is dropping its case against Michael Flynn, who lied to investigators about having conspired with the Russian ambassador to undermine sanctions on Russia.
In other words: Barr has done his job as Trump’s new Roy Cohn. https://t.co/k8LqikGEhh

We broke down Trump's relationship with Deutsche Bank—at least, what we knew about it last year—in Season One, Episode 4: "From Russia, With Cash."
https://t.co/weDhcJBv1h
"Within [Deutsche Bank], there was a big concern that something weird was going on in the Trump bank accounts," @davidenrich says. https://t.co/2FUKuQoL3a
We talked about this on our podcast, too. Check out Season 2, Episode 2, "Scheming," to hear about what, exactly, Giuliani was doing on Trump's behalf in Ukraine:
https://t.co/JQLktGxo5E
Trump confirmed on Geraldo Rivera’s podcast last night that he personally sent Giuliani to Ukraine to dig up dirt on his political opponents, and that he did so specifically to avoid a normal process where he’d have to “deal with the Comeys of the world.”
