Ignore the mealy-mouthed denials, untruths and obfuscations being spewed out by Johnson's ragtag band of mendacious minions on the Russia report.
Instead listen to Dominic Grieve clearly explain as to why everything the govt has claimed is total bullshitpic.twitter.com/Jbiou2I3QI

Just hours before Parliament is dissolved, Intelligence & Security Cttee chair is still trying to get his Russia report out. Govt briefing yesterday was explicit that No10 will not be able to clear it in time. But “pressure is building” says an ally of Dominic Grieve. We’ll see!

.@SecPompeo and Trump fixer "attorney general" Barr are at the core of an effort to turn the entire US government, including our foreign policy, into an attempt to cover up the GOP's collusion with the Kremlin to hijack the 2016 election and to rig 2020. https://t.co/1uWv27TV1i

Rand Paul in 2016 acknowledged Russian interference in the US election to help Donald Trump but thought it "naive" and "partisan hysteria" for Americans to object to Russian interference https://t.co/MQflP3tJIA

So Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump were vacationing with Dmitry Rybolovlev in Dubrovnik in summer 2016. The same Rybolovlev who bought Trump's Palm Beach mansion in 2008 for $95 million and sold it in 2019 for $37 million. Not $$ laundering??? https://t.co/PoW0DBufPR

Among the details in newly released Mueller memos: How Trump campaign officials worked to pin 2016 DNC hack on Ukraine instead of Russia before Trump was even elected, and how the Trump campaign relied on leaks to pump up their poll numbers. https://t.co/sFNv23Z1fh

Trump offers Putin aid to fight forest fires while threatening to withhold aid from California. Like a traitor. https://t.co/pIQZQ8SDxU

Now that we know just how much Trump conspired with Russia to attack America, I'd like to revisit my <THREAD> of Dec 11, 2016. Line by line. Because that story is now the subject of this IMPEACHMENT. https://t.co/2xb1gGsDEJ

WATCH: @chrislhayes on the similarities between Trump’s rhetoric of 'Read the transcript’ and ‘Russia, if you’re listening:’
“If he does it in public, if he essentially owns the crime, that somehow retroactively washes it of it’s corrupt intent.” #inners pic.twitter.com/Mw6ptNOeta

"The Trump campaign has held at least 15 contests since 2018 offering the chance to win breakfast, lunch, or dinner with President Trump…An investigation by Popular Information, however, did not uncover evidence that anyone has ever actually won." https://t.co/Pkc46Vo8GJ
