"This is as coherent and compelling a narrative for the plot to rig the 2016 election as I've seen. With the oldest motive in the book: greed"

12. Bookmarked for posterity.

This will be the basis for articles of impeachment against Donald John tRump, soon to be the former pResiDunce of the United States. It will also figure in the criminal racketeering trial of numerous of his aides and associates.

Sen. McConnell, since tRump is now in the last year of his pResiduncy, we should NOT consider his nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, correct? We should wait until the American people have a voice in who will make that nomination.

48. I submit that if the election is invalid, then it follows that any line of succession is invalid.

And including all appointments and Executive Orders.

[L. Coyote]

49. Agreed, all executive orders, everything. Reset to last moment of legitimacy, Obama.

I'm O.K. with Biden stepping in as interim President until elections are completed.

50. There's a Twitterer in that chain that can't handle it.

XLaurenStephens or something.

Hilarious.

[L. Coyote]

53. One of the things I like about mega-threads, the opportunity to feedback each tweet.

The trolls I can do without though. At least they have largely steered clear of #TrumpRussia to not drive the trend higher. They can really swamp out conversations with deep pools of vile.

[Sunlei]

6. Always found it interesting, the dossier was first 'ordered' by a Republican & wonder who it was.

One of the last 3 or 4 republican campaigns standing? or one of the 17? early drop-outs?

I guess JEB! campaign ordered it?, but who knows? that's just a guess.

All those Republicans running for president were to afraid to even mention trumps deplorable history. Like they were blackmailed.

[L. Coyote]

16. Jeb Bush is the one to send thank you notes to.

And with that last name, he was hardly even a candidate. What was he thinking?

[Fantastic Anarchist]

51. I wonder if he has access to daddy's old CIA buddies ...

...and if they have any information we'd like to know?

[murielm99]

19. Jeb.

Actually, I thought that might be likely. Look at Papa Bush and his background in intelligence. The Bush family might know how to do this, and to bring it forward.

7. This is great, but I kinda wish it was all in one place.

Guess I'm going to have to get used to twitter based info.

13. Please read the posts following same article Dailykos

Seth abrahamson seems is not a valid source. When I first read this it sounded so plausible. We all want this nightmare to end, but ... please read those that took the time to comment on the article at the Kos

17. Post some excerpts. I read some of the comments. They confused whole 19% with 0.5% commission.

Nothing I saw effectively dismisses the dossier, but I read little and skimmed some.

Please post some comments that you feel prove your point. You can find them. I can't find them in that huge thread.

[L. Coyote]

18. He's the reporter, not the source. Do you even know who those posters are.

Don't put much faith in comment sections online. Too many Russian trolls there and here.
Give us a real person with a real name and identity first.
Seth is a real person, a columnist reporting researched material and providing links to sources.
If you want to attack something, go after the facts instead of attacking the messenger.
Good luck with that where everyone else has so far failed.

Follow Scott Dworkin, another real person, for much more:

8. Steele will never be safe. Putin would have him killed anyway, to serve as an example

to anyone else who might cross him or get in his way.

He will always have to hide.

I have been following this guy's page, but wasn't sure posting the whole thread was doable...
glad to see it was.

Traitorous agents in the department. Maybe they need to be investigated for leaking.

Seriously, "can the FBI be trusted to not disappear him?" What is wrong with you?

42. I agree.

The FBI isn't in the business of disappearing people, hell, they've been looking for Jimmy Hoffa for decades.

The CIA disappears people

30. Sorry, this has nothing to do with the content, but this is why I hate Twitter.

It's inherently stupid to keep things to 140 characters and then put down anything of substance that is easy to read. Long tweet chains are just an absolutely cluster in terms of their format.

Not knocking the content (although Abramson has been known to be a little speculative at times). I just wish I was able to read it better.

Twitter is awful.

[stevenleser]

33. What he should have done is created a blog, created an article with his contentions and then

linked to the blog article from Twitter.

That's the right way to do something like this IMHO. But I won't fault him too much.

[L. Coyote]

35. This is getting a lot of retweeting. From that perspective, mega-threads are doing really well.

Plus, each individual tweet can be retweeted. That's a Twitterverse advantage to spreading your message. Probably most important, Twitter search and hashtags organize material really well and make it readily accessible and easy to follow. I find searching twitter fruitful.

34. Russia could have more tricks up their sleeve

I'm more concerned with what the Republicans have up their sleeves. All indications are they want to lynch Obama to de-legitimize the #TrumpRussia investigation. In other words, they are at the point where their only recourse is to get the evidence thrown out somehow, and from the far right they are already calling the investigation a deep state political coup. This is the thing to worry about, a Dog and Pony Show blaming Obama instead of a real Congressional inquiries.

Russia could have more tricks up their sleeve

Most regular Daily Kos readers have probably followed The Rachel Maddow Show’s excellent work on the Trump-Russian nexus. And Maddow often asks an excellent question in the course of those segments: what if the Russian destabalize-democracy-in-the-US operation didn’t end with the brutal 2016 campaign? What if it’s ongoing?

Let’s engage in some scary speculation. Let’s suppose, hypothetically, that Putin’s cyber thieves develop the ability to directly screw with vote totals in a networked tabulation device in this polarized nation come the 2018 midterms. Let’s suppose Putin is able to deploy that subterfuge in even a small way on a handful of such machines. Only this time, they do it in favor of a democrat. What happens next? ......

[calimary]

37. Sure serves up some food for thought, doesn't it.

Several restaurant chains' worth.

[L. Coyote]

38. And we've had only one public hearing so far. 100 FBI agents are on the case. What's to come?

What happens when the evidence that justified the warrants comes out? Who's singing to the FBI? What did the surveillance gather?
We haven't even finished the appetizers yet! How far does the corruption reach?

52. Wow!!

Late last month, hackers broke into Manafort's daughter's iPhone and published four years' worth of purported text messages — roughly 300,000 messages — on the dark web, an encrypted network that can be accessed only with a special browser.

...

In a series of texts reviewed by Business Insider that appear to have been sent by Andrea to her sister, Jessica, in March 2015, Andrea said their father had "no moral or legal compass."

...

"Don't fool yourself," Andrea wrote to her sister, according to the texts. "That money we have is blood money."

"You know he has killed people in Ukraine? Knowingly," she continued, according to the reviewed texts. "As a tactic to outrage the world and get focus on Ukraine. Remember when there were all those deaths taking place. A while back. About a year ago. Revolts and what not. Do you know whose strategy that was to cause that, to send those people out and get them slaughtered."

…

"He is cash poor right now," the text said. "And now Ukraine is late in paying him."

...

"He is a sick f---ing tyrant," Andrea appears to have said to Bond about her father. "And we keep showing up and dancing for him. ... We just keep showing up and eating the lobster. Nothing changes."

[L. Coyote]

54. Hacking works both ways!

You don't see Trump extraditing Manafort to Ukraine to stand trial, but maybe it is time to get rid of him before he sings ....

40. Wikileaks denies Roger Stone had "back-channel" contact with Assange

TPM livewire
Wikileaks Denies Roger Stone Had 'Back-Channel' Contact With Assange
March 27, 2017, 5:02 PM EDT

Wikileaks on Monday denied longtime Donald Trump ally Roger Stone's claim that he had "back-channel communication" with the organization's founder, Julian Assange, before the 2016 election. "No communications, no channel," a Wikileaks representative told CNN's KFILE by email.

In August 2016, Stone claimed to be in touch with Assange in advance of a so-called "October surprise" comprised of documents the Wikileaks founder promised to release in order to derail Hillary Clinton's campaign. "I actually have communicated with Assange," Stone said.

Stone denied in October 2016 that he had direct contact with Assange, but claimed to have "a back-channel communication" with him. "We have a good mutual friend," he told local Miami TV station WFOR. Throughout the 2016 campaign, Wikileaks denied on Twitter that it had any contact with Stone. ..............

41. Get up to speed on #RussiaGate in just 10 minutes! @JuddLegum

3. So we have spent some time trying to tell the Trump/Russia story as simply and clearly as possible
4. We avoided the gossip & speculation and focused on VERIFIABLE FACTS. We consulted experts. We bought a cork board
5. We ended up with a video that explains it as clearly as possible. Full disclosure: It's still 10 mins long!
6. But anyone can spend 10 minutes and can have a good grounding in the basics of the Trump/Russia story
7. Our democracy could be hanging in the balance so its probably worth 10 mins.
