Great tweet thread from Rick Wilson

starting here:




1/ The great thing about this morning was you could see the Trump spin shaping up early...

2/ ... they were going to build the entire defense around there being "zero evidence of collusion in the Manafort indictment"

3/ the special prosecutor knew this, and did an almost perfect bookend play from the media perspective and from the legal side

4/ we now have confessed collusion *and* a complex electronic trail from Pap to his fellow Trump campaign members.

5/ Folks trying to change the subject should have known all along this isn't boob bait for the comments section of trumpbart

6/ these are serious people running a serious investigation and you're either a cooperating witness or a target.

7/ and if you haven't inferred why it was so easy it was to bust Papadopoulos, may I remind you once again...

8/ ... that the intelligence community has a royal flush. Team Treason has a pair of twos on their best day.

9/ and even more disappointing given how much narrative heavy lifting the clickservatives have been doing, that information existed...

10/ ... existed either before, separately from, or verifies the steele information

11/ so clutch that fig-leaf of "no collusion" tight because if you think this is the worst day for you, think again.

5. money trail is one thing...and I'm sure the family business has financial skeletons in the closet.

But as Nance said...team Mueller also has the best spy hunters in the world looking into how the money relates to collusion, kompromat, treason, conspiracy.

Spy hunters. Imagine the info we, or even those bloggers with an ear to the wall, don't know about. I'd be very surprised if the indictments and investigation stays just on the financial misdeeds, as extensive as those are.

Spy hunters.

Getting away with stiffing NYC contractors a $100 K at a time is not the same league as colluding with Russians and laundering money through Cyprus.

Even if you laundered Russian money through casinos in the 90s and only got caught once.

It's what happens when one is playing smart but not being clever. The fucking Con has no clue about American institutions. This bunch of goons will be crushed like bugs.

10. Thanks for the full twitter post. BTW, I think this was initial indictment again Manafort...

...my guess is that Mueller will us this indictment to cut a deal for Manafort to talk campaign related stuff.

The media irritates me so much with reporting Trump's declarations that they know to be false
