Shell companies, shady deals, foreign intelligence, and overwhelming corruption: a year after Comey's firing, our new video narrated by @WhitfordBradley walks you through the #TrumpRussia saga in the most comprehensible way yet https://t.co/RYmUqcKjUN

FYI - Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI)’s bipartisan report, Volume 3, Page 45:

EXCL: The latest accounts for Donald Trump's flagship Turnberry resort show it ran up losses of £2.3m in 2019, despite a record turnover. The firm has now lost nearly £45m under the outgoing US president's ownership. My @TheScotsman story: https://t.co/HPk1PAgR1e

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

The bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee released a report detailing, over hundreds of pages, the ways in which Paul Manafort and Roger Stone actively worked to undermine our democracy. https://t.co/dj0pHHLjV1 

And the president just pardoned them.

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

A presidential pardon "carries an imputation of guilt" and its acceptance is a "confession." Burdick v. United States, 236 U.S. 79 (1915)

[Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell]

If you voted to pardon Trump of impeachment, spare all of us your hot take on Trump corruptly pardoning his friends.

[Jason Leopold @JasonLeopold]

I'm glad @BuzzFeedNews and I and CNN spent nearly two years litigating for thousands of FBI interview summaries like this one from the Mueller probe so that the public can read what Rick Gates said Paul Manafort told him way back in 2018.

"Sit tight" "we'll be taken care of"

[John Harwood @JohnJHarwood]

Trump’s pardons to shield Manafort and Stone - after dangling the idea to persuade them not to tell Mueller what they know about him - is open corruption

the pardons don’t discredit the national security questions about Trump’s conduct w/Russia

the pardons affirm them

[The Moscow Project @moscow_project]

Ben Sasse voted against impeachment

[Max Bergmann @maxbergmann]

To understand why the pardon of Manafort is outrageous read the bipartisan Senate Intel report from August... or you can listen to a special episode of @AssetPodcast that serves as an epilogue episode to season one. https://t.co/JMWQM1VVPl

[Aaron Katersky @AaronKatersky]

Paul Manafort may have received a pardon from President Trump but @ManhattanDA is still pursuing state charges. DA spokesman: "This action underscores the urgent need to hold Mr. Manafort accountable for his crimes against the People of New York”

[Andrew Desiderio @AndrewDesiderio]

This view was affirmed by every Republican member of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

[The Moscow Project @moscow_project]

Roger Stone and Paul Manafort are still very bad people

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

All of this was clear during impeachment, of course. It's the entire theme of Schiff's final speech: The man is iredeemably venal and cannot be trusted to do the right thing ever. Ten months later 1 of every 1000 Americans is dead, & the president is desperate to pull off a coup

[Michael Beschloss @BeschlossDC]

Now two more Trump pardons announced tonight for people convicted of making false statements about Russian interference in 2016 campaign. A theme emerges here.

EXCLUSIVE: Jared Kushner helped create a Trump campaign shell company that secretly paid the president's family members and spent $617 million in reelection cash, a source tells Insider https://t.co/JldNEKGYo6 via @tomlobianco @davelevinthal

Reminder: DiGenova and Toensing were working with Lev Parnas and Rudy Giuliani in early 2019 to get Amb. Yovanovitch removed as US ambassador to Ukraine.
