Before Trump was sworn in, he and six of his aides said there were no contacts between the campaign and Russians. ZERO. Turned out 15+ Trump people had 100+ contacts with Russian officials, known spies, cutouts and oligarchs. This massive lie has defined Trump's presidency.

The report confirms what was largely assumed, and barely hidden, last year: Trump and his allies publicly embraced Russia's disinformation campaign against Biden, met with Kremlin-tied figures who were part of the effort, and promoted their conspiracies

The former top FBI lawyer, James Baker, says he "became sick of all the BS" and stepped up today to debunk some of the conspiracies Trump is peddling. Many of the top FBI officials with key roles in the Russia investigation have now publicly rebuked Trump.

NEW: CNN has identified at least 12 distinct lies that Trump is using to baselessly raise doubts about the 2024 election. He has ramped up this rhetoric lately, potentially setting the stage to dispute the results, if Harris wins in November. w/ @ddale8

McCain is not alive to defend himself from Trump's attacks today. So here's what McCain said in 2017 about his involvement in the dossier saga.

All 12 jurors from the Roger Stone trial told the court today that they feel harassed and afraid for their lives, especially after President Trump and right-wing media figures criticized them for convicting Stone of 7 federal crimes

Seriously, you can’t make this up: Liteally just a few moments after Obama slammed Trump for spreading “conspiracy theories,” Trump responded by tweeting conspiracy theories about Obama.

Unbelievable split-screen moment: TRUMP just told reporters he wants the Justice Department to investigate who wrote the anti-Trump op-ed in the NY Times. Meanwhile, OBAMA just condemned those who "pressure the attorney general or the FBI" to punish their political opponents.

This says a lot about turnout. 2016 VA exit poll: 67% white, 21% black, 6% Latino.2017 VA exit poll: 67% white, 21% black, 6% Latino. Same proportions. (Given normal MOE.) Usually midterm years and off-years feature a whiter electorate. Benefits GOP in a big way. Not tonight.

President Trump's anger toward the WHO, and his insistence that they dropped the ball and are responsible for this pandemic, would have some credibility if he hadn't spent all of January and February downplaying the virus, spreading unscientific information, and praising China.

Manafort was not sentenced. The judge revoked Manafort's bail, sending him to jail before trial, because he allegedly committed more crimes while on house arrest. BUT while we're talking about sentencing, if Manafort is convicted on all counts in DC/VA, he faces 300+ years.

Wow, what a tough sentence for Paul Manafort, who has represented Ronald Reagan, Bob Dole and many other top political people and campaigns. Didn’t know Manafort was the head of the Mob. What about Comey and Crooked Hillary and all of the others? Very unfair!.

OANN is trying to cover up its past relationship with Andrii Derkach, an active Russian agent involved in Moscow's anti-Biden meddling. OANN gave him tons of free airtime and promoted his wacko conspiracy theories.

Heh. Just noticed @OANN deleted all Derkach tagged stories from its site, including a Reuters story on the Ukrainian MP and US-labeled "active Russian agent" being sanctioned for election interference. But — oops! — it didn't delete one misspelled with "Derkash," which remains.

The first paragraph of the NYT story on Bolton contains several key details:. "Trump told" = Trump said it himself ."In August" = weeks after Zelensky call."$391 million" = all the aid (DoD + State)."helped with investigations = quid pro quo."the Bidens" = explicit, not 'Burisma'
