(49,073 posts)1. Any chance of a transcription or list of the "bombshells"?
I can see a tweet on Twitter (w maybe 20 replies) but not traverse threads due to the configuration I browse with (by choice).

A lot for someone to transcribe. Not a twitter member but able to see them all in my browser. Hopefully Abrasom will put them up on website.

(49,073 posts)7. Here is my transcription
I did a quick cut-cut and here it is. Now I can go back and read it!
1.
BOMBSHELL: The White House lied repeatedly about how active Trump's secretive NatSec Advisory Committee wasit met MANY times, not "once."
2.
BOMBSHELL: Kremlin agents lured Page to Russia to meet Kremlin officials and Rosneft execs AFTER he joined the campaign; it wasn't his idea.
3.
BOMBSHELL: MANY Trump campaign aides AND NatSec team members knew Page was going to Russia post-hacking revelationsnone tried to stop him.
4.
BOMBSHELL: Page bypassed top policy aides and NatSec peers in telling HOPE HICKS he was going to Russiasuggesting he wanted TRUMP to know.
5.
BOMBSHELL: Given Page and JD Gordon's words, Hicks LIED to the media in saying the campaign had no Russia contacts; she's a key witness now.
6.
BOMBSHELL: Page spoke to the FBI 5-6 times in 2016-7; if he told them what he told Congress, he can be charged with Making False Statements.
7.
BOMBSHELL: Page deliberately withheld deeply inculpatory documents from Congress using a false and legally fraudulent Fifth Amendment claim.
8.
BOMBSHELL: Page met the same Kremlin official and Rosneft exec in BOTH July and December 2016 and lied about BOTH interactions to Congress.
9.
BOMBSHELL: On July 7, 2016, the Kremlin asked Page to carry a message to Trump: we strongly support you and want to work with you on policy.
10.
BOMBSHELL: Page admits discussing sanctions policy with both the Kremlin and Rosneft in July; after, he briefed the campaign on these talks.
11.
BOMBSHELL: As Page briefed the NatSec team and the campaign on his secret Russia meetings, every Trump aide who denied Russia contacts lied.
12.
BOMBSHELL: Page was certain to keep Trump's daily assistant, Hope Hicks, in the loopSessions, tooso Trump and Sessions knew what Page did.
13.
BOMBSHELL: As of mid-July, Trump's campaign was *on notice* Russia supported it, wanted to help it, and was offering "outreach"cooperation.
14.
BOMBSHELL: When Trump said "Russia, if you're listening..." and asked it to release Clinton emails, he was *responding* to Russian outreach.
15.
BOMBSHELL: Page *directly* revealed his Moscow plans to Sessions at an event Sessions set updidn't discloseand sat beside Papadopoulos at.
16.
BOMBSHELL: Page admits "the whole [NatSec] group" got Papadopoulos' March 2016 email on the Kremlin wanting to meetthat'd include Sessions.
17.
BOMBSHELL: Page proposed the campaign tell him what to say in Moscowthus, *to Kremlin agents*and/or have Trump take the trip in his place.
18.
BOMBSHELL: Everything the Steele Dossier said about Page appears to be either exactly accurate or so close to it as to be indistinguishable.
19.

20.
BOMBSHELL: AFTER we knew of Russia hackingbut BEFORE Trump changed the GOP platform to benefit PutinPage told Clovis Russia favored Trump.
21.
BOMBSHELL: The NatSec team talked lifting sanctions on Russiamaybe unilaterallyfrom its earliest days, *right after* the Mayflower Speech.
22.
BOMBSHELL: The NatSec team knew Page was headed to Moscow as a "private citizen" concurrent to discussing sending a "private citizen" there.
23.
BOMBSHELL: Multiple NatSec team members (at least 3) went to Budapest, the European HQ for Russian intelligence; Page met "a Russian" there.
24.
BOMBSHELL: At least 7 of the NatSec team's 14 members were on an email about the GOP platform changeand at least TEN campaign members knew.
25.
BOMBSHELL: None of the NINE campaign members who *knew* Manafort was lying about Trump's role in the GOP platform change revealed the truth.
26.
BOMBSHELL: AT LEAST ten members of the campaign and the NatSec team knew they were helping Putin at a time the Kremlin was supporting Trump.
27.
BOMBSHELL: Page met Kremlin/Rosneft officials in Moscow in December '16including contact with the MANAGER of Putin's election interference.

Lots of genuine bombshells. Hope Hicks stuff very interesting, pretty much means Trump knew what was going on.

(38,458 posts)9. I am just asking..Is the most important conclusion that
in the end, Trump knew about the Russian deal, and lied to Congress and the rest of us about it?
In fact, Trump was ...behind the "deal"

(56,829 posts)10. I'm guessing
that legally, Trump being behind the deal is more important.
