So what crimes did Trump commit?

Politics

[View here as a Twitter thread]

MAGA people are still asking: What crimes did Trump commit? The problem isn’t just “separate media bubbles.” The problem is that part of the population the victim of highly effective right wing propaganda. This thread is to help with argument settling.

1/ This list is for Trump and Trump family members: Accessory After the Fact. Aiding and Abetting Cyber Crimes Bribery Conspiracy Federal Election Campaign Act Federal Employees and Personal Family Relationships (CFR 2636.502) Insider Trading The Logan Act Money Laundering

2/ Obstruction of Justice Misprison of Felony Retaliating Against an Informant Tax Evasion and Tax Fraud Witness Tampering For more info on the above crimes, see this page:

3/ For more on Accessory After the Fact, See:  For more on Aiding and Abetting, see:  The above two threads show that Team Trump coordinated with Russia (popularly known as “collusion”).

4/ For more on Campaign Finance Law violations, see:  Even if we limit ourselves to the facts given in the Mueller docs (which are more reliable because they come from a law enforcement investigation) there’s ample evidence of coordination with Russia:

5/ As per the 7-13-18 indictment of Netyksho, et al “a person who was in regular contact with senior members” of the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian hackers:  Think in terms of “coordination” and “co-conspirators.”

6/ As per the 2-20-18 indictment of Alex van de Zwaan, Gates (while a highly placed Trump campaign official) was communicating with Person A, who had ties to the GRU (Russian intelligence): . (Person A is reported to be Konstantin Kilimnik)

7/ As per the 2-16-18 indictment of Russians, the Russians communicated with “political activists to seek to coordinate political activities.”  I doubt Mueller is withholding the names of the “political activists” because they’re nobodies.

8/ In Flynn’s guilty plea, he admitted that he and another Trump campaign official negotiated with Russians about sanctions while Obama was president, in violation of the Logan Act:

9/ From Papadopoulos’ guilty plea: he told the Trump campaign about the Russian hacking before the hacking was common knowledge.  (This among other things, goes to aiding and abetting and accessory after the fact; see threads given above)

10/ The list, of course, isn’t complete. But I’ll limit this thread to 10 tweets. The question isn’t: “Did the Trump campaign coordinate with Russia?” The question is: “How extensively did the Trump campaign coordinate with Russia?”
