Former Trump legal team spokesman plans to tell Mueller that Hope Hicks hinted at concealing explosive emails about the Trump Tower Russia meeting
| Quote: | Mark Corallo, the former spokesman for President Donald Trump's legal team, plans to tell special counsel Robert Mueller that White House communications director Hope Hicks may have hinted at concealing crucial emails that were exchanged prior to Donald Trump Jr.'s meeting in June 2016 with a Kremlin-connected lawyer, The New York Times reported.
Corallo was contacted by the special counsel's team last week for an interview, as Business Insider previously reported. The interview is set to take place sometime in the next two weeks.
Corallo served as the legal team spokesman until July 2017. He resigned shortly after news of Trump Jr.'s Russia meeting emerged. According to author Michael Wolff's book, "Fire & Fury: Inside the Trump White House," Corallo resigned because he believed that the president's decision to craft a misleading statement on his son's behalf in response to reports of the meeting could have represented obstruction of justice. |

New emails show George Papadopoulos communicated with Michael Flynn and Steve Bannon during Trump's 2016 campaign
| Quote: | Former Trump campaign foreign-policy adviser George Papadopoulos reportedly communicated with former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon and former national-security adviser Michael Flynn during the 2016 campaign.
The White House has sought to distance itself from Papadopoulos since he pleaded guilty in the Russia investigation last year, calling him a "coffee boy" with little access to the top ranks of the campaign.
But new emails obtained by The Washington Post indicate that top campaign officials — in addition to those listed in previous court filings — knew of and encouraged Papadopoulos' actions and outreach during the campaign to foreign officials. |

Tumblr confirms 84 accounts linked to Kremlin trolls
| Quote: | Tumblr has confirmed that Kremlin trolls were active on its platform during the 2016 US presidential elections.
In a blog post today the social platform writes that it is "taking steps to protect against future interference in our political conversation by state-sponsored propaganda campaigns".
The company has also started emailing users who interacted with 84 accounts it now says it has linked to the Russian trollfarm, the Internet Research Agency (IRA).
In the blog post it says it identified the accounts last fall -- and "notified law enforcement, terminated the accounts, and deleted their original posts".
"Behind the scenes, we worked with the Department of Justice, and the information we provided helped indict 13 people who worked for the IRA," it adds.
In an email sent to a user, which was passed to TechCrunch to review, the company informs the individual they "either followed one of [11] accounts linked to the IRA, or liked or reblogged one of their posts".
"As part of our commitment to transparency, we want you to know that we uncovered and terminated 84 accounts linked to Internet Research Agency or IRA (a group closely tied to the the Russian government) posing as members of the Tumblr community," the email begins.
"The IRA engages in electronic disinformation and propaganda campaigns around the world using phony social media accounts. When we uncovered these accounts, we notified law enforcement, terminated the accounts, and deleted their original posts."
Last month Buzzfeed News -- working with researcher, Jonathan Albright, from the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia University -- claimed to have unearthed substantial Kremlin troll activity on Tumblr's meme-laden platform -- identifying what they dubbed as “a powerful, largely unrevealed network of Russian trolls focused on black issues and activism” which they said dated back to early 2015.
The trolls were reported to be using Tumblr to push anti-Clinton messages, including by actively promoting Democrat rival Bernie Sanders.
Decrying racial injustice and police violence in the US was another theme of the Russian-linked content.
Since then The Daily Beast has also reported on leaked data from the IRA which also implied agents at the trollfarm had used Tumblr -- and also Reddit -- to spread political propaganda to target the 2016 US election. |

| Number of contacts found between Trump campaign and Russians—up to 60 now. What did Pence and Trump say? None. But no collusion. Yeah, sure. And the Russkies rewrote the GOP platform. Can anyone out there still spell treason? |

Pence continues with his blank stare, it can't get any worse he thinks, but it does.
He is waiting for Jesus to save him  |
