buzzfeed lays out all the docs they've obtained from their Trump Tower Moscow investigation along with the timeline. This is damning stuff

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/articl...wer-moscow-the-secret-files-cohen-sater-putin

As a candidate, Donald Trump had a lot of praise for Vladimir Putin — and no business, he kept insisting, in Russia. These documents tell a different story.When Michael Cohen, the president’s former lawyer and longtime fixer, testifies before Congress this week, one topic that is likely to be front and center is his work on Trump Moscow, the over-the-top luxury real estate venture he helped spearhead leading up to the election.
The development, which was never built, has already become a focus for special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into potential collusion between Trump and Russia during the 2016 campaign. And when Cohen was convicted last November of lying to Congress, it was over his false testimony that the deal had fizzled in January 2016, well before Trump emerged as the Republican nominee.
BuzzFeed News is today publishing a cache of internal Trump Organization documentsthat lay bare the secret negotiations that continued long after Cohen claimed the deal had been abandoned. The documents, many of which have been exclusively obtained by BuzzFeed News, reveal that — despite Trump’s claim that the development was never more than a passing notion — the effort to get the tower built was long-running, detail-oriented and directly entwined with the ups and downs of his campaign.

the entire thread and the article linked in it are worth a read.

3/ QUOTE #1: "[Burr] acknowledges now that the investigation is broader, and perhaps more consequential, than it has long been thought to be." So America doesn't realize how much troubling material the Senate has found—or how far-flung and important to our future the material is....

4/ QUOTE #2: "What [has]...extended the life of the [Senate] investigation...is a better understanding of...how coordinated and organized the effort was." So it was the "coordination" and "organization" of what Russia did—uh, coordinating with *whom*?—that has shocked the Senate.

Did I misread something yesterday? Didn’t Burr say they found “ no evidence of collusion”? Is that just “partisan-speak”?

I would conjecture that none of us here are great fans of Jeff Bezos and do not feel a need to come to his defense. It is obvious from the Trump tweet however that Trump is quite willing to cast stones in his glass house and loves crawling in the muck that is the National Inquirer as much as a pig in mud. In his perpetually confused state of mind he appears set upon modelling his presidency to the organization his good friend Vince McMahon runs. This has just become a giant tag team match.

Whoa McCabe is speaking. Some big stuff here. Wearing a wire when speaking to Trump was seriously considered. DOJ met to discuss invoking the 25th amendment when Comey was fired. Trump was his usual petty self (who lost his election bid for President before though for whatever reason never seems to recall that) and called McCabe's wife a loser to McCabe.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/mccab...-under-the-25th-amendment-after-comeys-firing

Andrew McCabe, the former deputy director of the FBI, has reportedly claimed that there were meetings in the Justice Department following James Comey's firing where officials discussed whether it was possible toremove Donald Trumpfrom the presidency using the 25th AmendmentCorrespondentScott Pelley told CBS This Morning that McCabe made the admission during an interview with 60 Minutes. McCabe, who was named acting director of the bureau after Trump fired James Comey in May 2017, makes a string of revelations in his new book The Threat.

and my favorite quote

"I wanted to make sure that our case was on solid ground and if somebody came in behind me and closed it and tried to walk away from it, they would not be able to do that without creating a record of why they made that decision," McCabe said.
