Must Read Twitter Feed: "Konstantin Rykov"....stunning revelation in the Trump/Russia investigation

I'll just leave you all with the link & this newest revelation as to Trump/Kremlin Coup against the USA.

g. dammit. This gives Mueller a serious edge but gave me a rather ill feeling of how vulnerable we all were in 2016.

Worth following.
Thanks & nite all.

(THREAD) This is the most stunning revelation in the Trump/Russia investigation yet. My brother Brian @krassenstein predicted something like this was coming very soon, just days ago & here it is!

Konstantin Rykov who is known as a Kremlin Propagandist with close ties to Putin published a message on Facebook just days after Trump won the election.
It is a roadmap & confession saying that he and the Kremlin took part in a conspiracy to make Donald Trump the President of the United States.
It all began with the following Tweet that Trump made after @BarackObama won the 2012 election

I'm not sure it implicates Trump though because it doesn't look like he was kept up to date on the actions.
But it sure connects him to this mess, and early, at the beginning.

but I just looked and for months no investigative journal has reported on this. And why not when tweets have been out there for everyone to read?

Maybe watchful waiting on this?

Perhaps it was buried in the election frenzy, & perhaps because we didn't know enough back then to spot the importance.
We know far more today than at the time of those statements.
That's all I can come up with.

A Hindsight sort of thing.
Media was pretty deadset on looking in any direction other than keeping Trump on his pedestal 24/7.
They ignored it if it was ever pointed out.

It is still extremely useful to Mueller, but unfortunate for America.

who knew far more then, though. Also, the "media" are no more one monolithic being acting one way than the people on this forum are.

Professionals in every possible related field are looking at ALL this, notably of course, Mueller's investigation with its tremendous resources.

In any case, when we see something, we can be sure we're not even close to the first or 1000th who did, and the degree of understanding we bring to what we see falls far, far, far short of those who make their living uncovering and connecting dots, and, inevitably, identifying and ruling out phony dots with no connections.

I'm afraid this all makes me think of someone happening to trip over a concrete car stop in a busy parking lot and then assuming he's the first person to have come across it. We're talking old tweets after all. If this was explosive, where was the pop?
