312/ Oh, and the Kremlin agents who spoke to Trump's son at Trump Tower tried to get the translator to perjure himself about what happened at the meeting because nothing untoward at all had happened. Offered him money. Yes, this all sounds fine.

323/ Sessions and the Russian ambassador discussed Russia's aid to Iran in their early-September meeting. A key data-point—but to the conspiracy I explore in PROOF OF CONSPIRACY, not the Trump-Russia plotline most are already familiar with. (Something I'm putting a pin in, now.)

324/ Amazing that Kislyak tried to get both Trump's #1 and #2 *official* national security guys back to his house. The good news for *him* is... ...he got Trump's #1 *unofficial* national security guy, Michael Flynn, to his house. In fact, he did that back in December of *2015*.

325/ The Center for the National Interest's Dimitri Simes rears his head again—apparently trying to connect Sessions and Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the presidential transition. I'm telling you, Dimitri's making himself into a *star witness* with this performance.

326/ Trump's Deputy Campaign Manager was secretly sending a Kremlin agent proprietary internal campaign polling data throughout the presidential campaign. At a time the Kremlin needed hard data to target its propaganda campaign. Just read those sentences a few times, I beg you.

329/ A Definitely Normal Thing I Did on My First Day on the Trump Campaign (a memorandum by Paul Manafort):pic.twitter.com/w8c8lplNJ8

330/ This is what I mean about Mueller having different people research different issues and apparently never talk to each other: the Manafort section—on his contacts with Russia—reads like none of the other sections in the Report on what the campaign was doing with Russia exist.

331/ Mueller reveals Manafort *lied* about whether he ever had polling data sent to Kilimnik—though Manafort *knew* Gates was telling Mueller that that's exactly what had happened. This clearly suggests that Manafort perceived his actions to be criminal—and, notably, *collusive*.

332/ You can believe the Trump-Russia timeline includes more than a thousand "coincidences" regarding Trump and Russia or you can be an adult. Those are the two options.

333/ Just a small piece of Manafort's lies to the feds about negotiating a sanctions deal ("peace plan") with a Kremlin spy.pic.twitter.com/LWCnH709HW

334/ Whoa... Manafort lied to the feds about whether he discussed *election targeting* with the Kremlin. Apparently he did. There is *zero* fuzz on the question of why he lied. This goes directly to collusion broadly writ.pic.twitter.com/DvoRj4suhr

335/ Manafort stayed in contact with everyone after being "fired," including Trump and Kushner. Used the term "our" to refer to the campaign. So he remained a campaign adviser up to and well after the election—confirming Trump wanted to stay on good terms with Manafort's friends.

337/ See? Mueller knows *exactly* how to express himself when he means to say there is "no evidence." Anytime he doesn't use language like this (below), he's saying there *is* evidence (or an equivalent term,"proof" of some kind):pic.twitter.com/tOEVnC4Eds

338/ (Of course, a good prosecutor never says "no evidence," but "uncovered no evidence" or the equivalent, as Mueller does here.)

339/ Mueller didn't find that Manafort brought the White House the "Ukraine peace plan"—which is fine, because we already know *Trump's lawyer did*.

340/ The report seems to indicate that Vladimir Putin tried to get to Trump through an intermediary on the subject of improving U.S.-Russia relations... as early as 3AM the morning after Election Day? Wow, if true.

341/ SOMEBODY SUBPOENA SIMES FOR 50 HOURS OF CONGRESSIONAL TESTIMONY ALREADY. I'm sorry, but both my attorney and investigator senses are tingling off the damn hook about this guy. He should be on the lips of *every journalist in America* as the key person of interest right now.pic.twitter.com/z0gwFJUfHX

342/ Simes was such a Trump campaign go-to on Russia, Kushner contacts him *immediately* when he has *any* Russia issue—how is this guy not a Trump-Russia superstar already? Don't get me wrong—he has a *big* role in PROOF OF COLLUSION—but it should have been even bigger, clearly.

343/ OK, so this is a Kremlin agent—who acknowledges doing Putin's bidding—telling Mueller that Putin didn't know anyone in Trump's circle even though HIS AMBASSADOR HAD MET MULTIPLE TIMES WITH ALL OF THEM, and Mueller credulously repeating what this Kremlin agent said. Not good.pic.twitter.com/7ZhT1UXvbb

344/ Yeah... no. Putin never had ANY difficulty getting in touch with the Trump campaign. He NEVER EVER said to one of his agents that doing so would be difficult. I am embarrassed for Mueller and his team that they included this content in the Report. It is *not* to be credited.pic.twitter.com/Sx1Q2cST2S

345/ GEORGE NADER... the star of PROOF OF CONSPIRACY... makes his first appearance on {*checks*} page 147. Now you understand how little overlap there is between PROOF OF CONSPIRACY and the Report I'm reading and live-tweeting right now. Very little at all. Which is... shocking.

346/ Imagine if the Mueller Report had a sequel just as long and shocking—containing many of the same characters but many new ones—and you'd have PROOF OF CONSPIRACY. Just want people to know—as it looks like this is the only way anyone will get the info. https://www.amazon.com/Proof-Conspiracy-International-Collusion-Threatening/dp/1250256712 …

347/ I'll say this many times in the coming months, I'm sure: the Trump-Russia story *is* the Trump-Saudi, Trump-Emirati, Trump-Israeli, and Trump-Egyptian stories.

350/ It's important to note that a HUGE percentage of the grand jury redactions that Barr could have avoided show up the second we're talking about Prince, Nader, Dmitriev, MBZ, and Kushner's association with all of these. This is information America needs to see—for key reasons.
Show this thread -
351/ The other *redaction tornado* that keeps us from seeing the Nader, Dmitriev, MBZ, and Prince material? "INVESTIGATIVE TECHNIQUES." We haven't seen a lot of this—it means counterintelligence information and methods. Now you know (or can guess) why I wrote PROOF OF CONSPIRACY.
