Eichenwald Twitter thread connects tRump to Russian disinformation scheme.

I'm blocked, can't see it.

which gives the option at the top of turning into a pdf to read. Maybe this can more easily be read by folks who can't get twitter tweets?

The GOP knew, they covered it up. Clinton - e-mails - Benghazi - any hatred against her - lock her up - she hates puppies, etc.

Corporate media and social media and hate ratio and coporations all knew, but they focused on Clinton and anything in opposition to their greedy goals.

Ya see the GOPs are still ain't doing nothing. Yeah, a few here and there speaking sorta against him, but where is McTurtle?

how did they do it so quickly? Into Trump's mouth within 2 hours? That implies VERY direct coordination with Russians.

since Benedict Donald often watches FOX and then regurgitates what he hears on there.

Thanks for posting,

1. One of the reasons I think the press dismissed KE's account and thought it absurd was because during the campaign, both primary and general, the press could not get enough of Trump. If something like this began and they dug, it would spoil their entertainment.
When Trump got elected and the press got royally skewered by the public for their role in this, they began to pull back.

2. This story reminds me of one I read shortly before the election. It's the same one that Rachel Maddow is fascinated with. It was in Slate and involved a russian bank hooked up to and 'talking' to a server in the Trump offices. It blew me away then and it still haunts me. What was going on with this? I really hope Mueller finds out and addresses this.

I figured it was something that would grab the attention of a few other DU people.
