Russiagate is quickly becoming GulfGate https://apnews.com/amp/2e2f7f54c93e4427ad40f3b6cb95d6b1?__twitter_impression=true …pic.twitter.com/pLemr4ATTc
.@adamjohnsonNYC: the Russiagate narrative “has reached its inevitable, sleazy nadir: the smearing of a black activist by an NPR affiliate for the crime of going on a Russian government–funded radio station a handful of times.”https://fair.org/home/public-radios-mccarthyite-smear-of-black-activists-shows-danger-of-russia-panic/ …
Very informative interview with @ggreenwald by @DanielDenvir about #Russiagate, mass surveillance, and “the resistance” to Donald Trumphttps://www.jacobinmag.com/2018/04/russiagate-surveillance-politics-russian-trolls-greenwald …
.@aaronjmate: the Russiagate “above all else” “approach has definitively shaped both the resistance to Donald Trump & the media coverage of his presidency. ... after more than one year, nothing substantial has been proven” & there’s been no electoral gainhttps://www.thenation.com/article/dont-count-on-russiagate-to-bring-trump-down/ …
Interesting how there’s much more and increasing evidence of plotting between Trump’s team and Israeli government, and yet #IsraelGate is not yet a thing...https://twitter.com/bernajurema/status/993403435499376640?s=21 …
“the defense team is seeking a wealth of information on what the US knows about the trolling operation, including a full list of fake social media accounts, the names of suspected co-conspirators, details of electronic surveillance by US“https://www.thedailybeast.com/russian-troll-farm-goes-after-muellers-files …
.@colinkalmbacher: “Mueller’s prosecutors were apparently caught off-guard by those requests–it’s been widely assumed that no one named in the February indictment would even bother to respond to the accusations, much less fight back against them”https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/is-robert-muellers-russian-troll-farm-indictment-falling-apart/ …
.@BMarchetich: to believe that Russian troll campaign destroyed American democracy is to believe that “poorly worded Russian Facebook ads, not systemic oppression, are the cause and fuel of anger, rebellion, and discord”https://www.jacobinmag.com/2018/05/russia-troll-2016-election-interference-ads …
.@ggreenwald: “the informant used by the FBI in 2016 to gather information on the Trump campaign was [someone whose] decades of work for the CIA [...] is quite publicly known.”https://theintercept.com/2018/05/19/the-fbi-informant-who-monitored-the-trump-campaign-stefan-halper-oversaw-a-cia-spying-operation-in-the-1980-presidential-election/ …
Very informative interview by @kthalps with @aaronjmate on the flaws of the #Russiagate narrative, why it makes for bad opposition to Trump, and how it actually serves the bipartisan political elites:https://soundcloud.com/katie-halper/aaron-mate-on-trumps-collusion-with-israel …
.@aaronjmate: "While it’s certainly possible that Mueller will make new indictments that go to the core of his case, what’s been revealed so far [in the 5 guilty pleas, 20 indictments, and over 100 charges] does not make a compelling brief for collusion"https://www.thenation.com/article/mueller-indictments-still-dont-add-collusion/ …
In this must-watch video, @jeremyscahill breaks down how #RussiaGate is a misnomer, as there is strong evidence indicating that the Trump team actually colluded with Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the UAEhttps://theintercept.com/2018/06/10/more-than-just-russia-theres-a-strong-case-for-the-trump-team-colluding-with-saudi-arabia-israel-and-the-uae/ …
Yet more evidence that the Trump collusion that actually took place was not with Russia:https://twitter.com/rgoodlaw/status/1012657518303219712 …
.@aaronjmate does it again, and exposes the many flaws of the Russiagate conspiracy theory in this excellent interview with @Isikoffhttps://youtu.be/eoFe05u787s
If, as @adamentous reports here, Israel, Saudi Arabia & the UAE, countries that enjoy "unparalleled influence" with the Trump Administration, had to help Trump's team to communicate with Russian officials, doesn't this story undermine #Russiagate?https://bit.ly/2L73g91
how convenient... and thus Russiagate continues to be a totally evidence-free zonehttps://twitter.com/DougHenwood/status/1017823197251751936 …
Lo and behold, here’s the purpose of these indictments: https://www.businessinsider.de/trump-cancel-putin-summit-after-mueller-indictments-2018-7?r=US&IR=T …
Interestingly, Stephen F. Cohen in his weekly discussion with @batchelorshow warned of the possibility of attempts to sabotage the Trump-Putin meeting: https://www.thenation.com/article/summitgate-campaign-vs-peace/ …
Just a reminder that the guy whose words are to be taken at face value in #Russiagate lied about Iraq’s WMDshttps://youtu.be/mNeqrTbkZmM
So Gallup did a poll on what Americans see as the largest (non economic) problem facing the country, and the 'Situation with Russia' is literally too small to even represent a number. https://news.gallup.com/poll/1675/most-important-problem.aspx …pic.twitter.com/oN49tYRIVe
Actual meddling, with actual evidence &actual consequences: “In a video clip aired Tuesday by Israeli television, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu boasted that Israel was responsible for US President Donald Trump’s decision to quit the Iran nuclear deal.”https://www.timesofisrael.com/in-recording-netanyahu-boasts-israel-convinced-trump-to-quit-iran-nuclear-deal/ …
“The gap between elite and public priorities highlights an endemic problem that long predates Trump. Since his election, however, the elite fixation on alleged Russian meddling and the president’s suspected collusion has exacerbated that divide.”https://twitter.com/aaronjmate/status/1022529666496782337?s=21 …

Thread on how Russiagate hysteria crowds out important coverage and discussion about Saudi Arabia/UAE meddling in US politicshttps://twitter.com/aaronjmate/status/1025185154220916741?s=21 …
.@jricole: “there is increasing evidence that Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates were part of the plot to put Trump into office and then to manipulate him, a story the Washington press often ignores in favor of a sole fixation on Russia”https://www.juancole.com/2018/08/problem-erratic-savagely.html …
"Russia condemned a new round of U.S. sanctions as illegal on Thursday after news of the measures sent the rouble tumbling to two-year lows and sparked a wider asset sell-off over fears that Moscow was locked in a spiral of never-ending curbs by the West."https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-russia-sanctions/russia-reels-cries-foul-after-u-s-sanctions-spiral-escalates-idUSKBN1KU13C …
.@PatPorter76: “amid the U.S. foreign policy establishment’s fascination for the extent of Trump’s collusion with Putin, its almost Trumpian fixation with televisual optics ... it neglects the prosaic details of concrete commitments”

American scholars Stephen Cohen and John Mearsheimer discuss Russiagate: “Any fool could’ve told you that by bringing in countries on Russia’s borders, with historical grievances against Russia, was going to diminish everybody’s national security”https://youtu.be/SJBQikfYyKs
.@Gallup: “Although U.S.-Russian tensions continue to simmer, more Americans are inclined to believe the U.S. is better off trying to improve relations with Russia.”

Interestingly, this new Gallup poll indicates that the more one is exposed to the highly propagandized media coverage of Russiagate, the more hostile towards Russia one becomes https://news.gallup.com/poll/241124/favor-diplomacy-sanctions-russia.aspx …pic.twitter.com/xsnpxk5UvJ
