@PatBryanTX2 He devoted 2 sentences to the word and half of his report to examples of it He was tasked with finding a conspiracy and could not because (he said on pg. 10) the evidence he needed was kept from him; the evidence he found was, however, evidence of collusion—some of it even legal — PolitiTweet.org

@PatBryanTX2 Incorrect Collusion comes from antitrust law and is a highly useful lay umbrella term for what Trump did with Russia, particularly in secretly negotiating massive real estate deals while running for office Conspiracy is a federal statute that has the highest standard of proof — PolitiTweet.org

The reason to insta-block cultists from Twitter feeds is the reason one doesn’t invite a skunk into your house for high tea if you see one in your yard: the trash panda has no understanding of anything you’re interested in, it never will, and it‘s guaranteed to f*ck up your house — PolitiTweet.org

That said, I really do recommend on occasion writing a thread that you know will trigger the cultists so that they all flock to it with their monosyllabic grunted replies and you can insta-block them en masse all at once It really does save time as compared to doing it piecemeal — PolitiTweet.org

The fantasy that there’s just one or two slightly wonky facts about the Trump-Manafort relationship is so clearly a product of borderline illiterate far-right troglodytes wishcasting that alternate reality rather than picking up even a single book that it makes me legit nauseous — PolitiTweet.org

Or the fact that in July 2016 Trump gave campaign aides—including Manafort—an order to contact Russian hackers to get data Trump thought had been stolen from his political opponent by the Kremlin: a collusion order to a man (Manafort) whose best friend was in Russian intelligence — PolitiTweet.org

Or the fact that Robert Mueller found that Paul Manafort had been repeatedly tampered with by Trump agents so that he wouldn’t reveal any information to the FBI about Trump, and that in compensation for this Trump gave him a presidential pardon in full view of the American public — PolitiTweet.org

Or the fact that right after Manafort departed the Trump campaign in August 2016 one of Trump’s two best friends took him on a yacht and basically gave him a few million Or the fact that Trump was still regularly talking to Manafort by phone over half a year after he “fired” him — PolitiTweet.org

The fun facts about Paul Manafort and Donald Trump are basically never-ending, like NBC News reporting in January 2018 that Trump was telling friends Manafort could sink him, or the fact that Manafort was an executive at the company paid to set up the January 6th rally Google it — PolitiTweet.org

The breadth and depth of the lies Taibbi has told about Trump and Russia, all of them told because he knows that the people paying for his “journalism” barely know how to read and don’t honestly care what the truth is anyway as long as they own the libs, is actually breathtaking — PolitiTweet.org

Matty also forgot that in 2006 Manafort inked a $10M/year contract with a Putin pal who says he “doesn’t separate himself from the state”—Deripaska—to “advance Putin’s interests in America” We don’t know if the deal ended First thing Manafort did? Move to Trump Tower Google it — PolitiTweet.org

@mtaibbi You have an army of bots trailing you telling folks the dossier was made up—when every serious analysis of it reveals that much of it appears to have been true, some of it is unverifiable, and almost *exactly* the percentage Steele himself told the FBI was likely false was false. — PolitiTweet.org

@mtaibbi Carter Page went on TV and lied about whether he secretly met Kremlin agents in Russia. Do your readers know that that’s why the FBI didn’t have to rely on the dossier for most of its FISA warrants on Page? How about that the part of the dossier on Page turned out to be accurate? — PolitiTweet.org

@mtaibbi 7 allied intel agencies sent intel on secret Trump agent-Russian national meetings in 2015—a year before Steele. The dossier wasn’t used for 3 of the 4 FISA warrants on Page—a man the FBI previously caught passing intel to Russian spies. Why are you lying to these people, Matt? — PolitiTweet.org

@mtaibbi You are simultaneously obsessed with the notion that the FBI did everything wrong and acted like a bunch of idiots *and* with the idea that they correctly gauged ex ante which evidence was most compelling for a FISA warrant. Which is it? I am not one of your bobblehead cultists. — PolitiTweet.org

@mtaibbi “Seth said”? Probable cause is the lowest level of proof (reasonable suspicion is lower, but it’s an investigative standard—not one that comes before a court for approval ex ante). FISA warrants are notoriously easy to get. And you keep pretending there was one—there were *many*. — PolitiTweet.org
