Manafort Destiny? Trump continued

Where will the charges against Manafort lead? Whose shredders are overheating today? And most importantly, when will the Tweetstorm-from-the-loo start?

Wikipedia edit authors are known and tagged aren’t they? (I seem to recall that it’s not a ‘free for all’.)

It varies.
I'm a registered editor, but my name and contact is not public.

Some editors are referenced or paid.

And I think it's possible to edit without registering, but edits need to be curated or something.

Sam Levine‏ @srl

A sitting U.S. congressman says it is "quite possible" a special congressional election was stolen b/c of hacking

US Rep. Johnson: Was election "stolen" for Handel?
Georgia Congressman Hank Johnson says he thinks Republicans may have stolen an election from his fellow Democrat, Jon Ossoff.

I think Mike Farb also came to similar conclusions but can't dig out the thread atm.

A woman who was a fierce critic of Putin was killed on Monday. She had escaped an assassination attempt in June.

Interesting that Paul Manafort's Wikipage is semi-protected (only registered users can edit), but not Mueller's.

If someone who's not registered edits a page, their IP address is public, and thus searchable.

It seems they already know from whence it came?

There were photos to go with the wikipdia editing, if they help

Yesterday was the BIGGEST DAY YET in the #TrumpRussiaInvestigation.

Today, MSM is talking about the Civil War.

Well-played, John Kelly.

J.J. Patrick‏ @J_amesp

So why is the Breitbart UKIP story more important than you might think? (Thread)

  1. Bannon and Farage have been knocking around together since...2012, and Bannon launched Breitbart London in 2014 to help Nige win “a war”.
  2. Nige has been openly supporting Assange since 2011 and met Russian amabassador Yakavenko in 2013. Bannon was also a big Dugin fan.
  3. Steve B was also on the board at Cambridge Analytica Who create targeted campaigns, most recently supporting Russian objectives in Qatar.
  4. They all worked together on Brexit and the bulk of Brexit Fake News in the U.K. comes from...Breitbart pushed by Russian botnets...
  5. Which also work in Tandem with Trump’s botnets. Cambridge Analytica also ran Trump’s data campaign and worked with Farage’s Leave.EU
  6. So Farage is balls deep in Trump, who is balls deep in Russia, who are balls deep in Bannon. All of them are balls deep in Assange.
  7. But the Breitbart story is doubly important because it was illegal for them to be paying UKIP and for Leave.EU to be working with CA.
  8. So, in this mess we have Russia interfering in the US and U.K., while the U.K. interferes in the US and the US interferes in the U.K.
  9. Basically, think about it like an orgy. /

Excellent video inside this @J_amesp piece on how botnets work and why they're so effective. h/t @nadinevdVelde.

Mark Henderson‏*@AlwaysNearWalls*

Maltese surnames are pretty common, so I'm not saying it's the same guy. But this is a pretty creepy coincidence... @carolecadwalla @J_amesp

Now this is in the realms of sheer speculation.

Add in the common theme for both Manafort/Gates and Caruana of money laundering. And its natural to start jumping to all sorts of conclusions, real or imagined.

Thanks all for the links and info. Farage is a complete idiot, does anyone take any notice of what he says any more?

It certainly conjures something of the South.
