Buzzfeed has, for what they spend on it, one of the best investigative journalism teams out there.  Their investigations into suspected Russian assassinations on UK soil is one of the best pieces of journalism published in the past few years.

It's amazing.  I turn on my computer and treason flows out and ruins my carpet.

You're going to find this amusing Roger...it looks like emails between Tad Devine and Paul Manafort are going to be brought up at the latter's trial.

Devine, for those who don't know, was Bernie Sanders' campaign manager.  He was in fact the guy who convinced him to run in the first place.  Devine also worked closely with Manafort in Ukraine.

Prediction:  When I turn on FB tonight, the Berners who aren't already saying there was no collusion will be saying that there was no collusion.

I may be able to collect up enough tears to season a steak.

It doesn't look like it references anything from the 2016 campaign period itself, focusing between 2006 and 10...but still could be pretty damning.  Well, I assume if it wasn't damning, it wouldn't be entered as evidence.

The good news is that we're going to have a boom in the Mathematics industry, as mathematicians will need to count higher than ever before to describe the number of ways Russia has completely pwned the American political system.

I don't know how legit this is, or how serious it is, but it FEELS really important...

The Macedonian fake news cottage industry, which flourished by churning out pro-Trump clickbait in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election, was not established by apolitical teens and young men just looking to make a quick buck, as initial reports in 2016 suggested.

Instead, these adolescents were simply following a trend launched by a Macedonian media attorney who worked extensively with two prominent American conservatives for at least six months during the election season. 

Before his operation fell under the ax... Arsov worked closely with Paris Wade, currently a Republican candidate for the Nevada State Assembly, and Ben Goldman, a conservative writer and publisher.

Yup, I only skimmed it, but everything I looked at there was absolutely correct.  Torshin, Russian outreach to the NRA, the dodgy money, teaming up with Erickson...it's about a dozen different stories that have been published over the past two years,  but credit to MSN, they put it together into a single narrative that shows the bigger picture.

Oh, btw, Trump has invited Putin to visit the USA this autumn.

Yeah, I saw that.  They're not really a couple until they screw in both houses.
