THREAD: 1/ I know this sounds likes super space beans, but I need to get it out of my head so I& #39;m putting it here. Some is public reporting (labeled AP=Associated Press), some is speculative (labeled AG=me). WHAT IF:
2/ Jan 2019: The White House is briefed on Russian bounties to the Taliban to murder allied troops in Afghanistan (AP)

Mar 2019: Bolton discusses the bounties with trump (AP)

Apr 2019: 3 US Marines are murdered in an ambush in Afghanistan. The Taliban claims responsibility (AP)
3/ If that ambush was part of the bounty operation, trump had blood on his hands & began hiding the intel, keeping it under wraps for the last 14 months (AG). He fired 5 inspectors general, replaced the DNI with a yes-man, & gutted the NCTC & the US agency for global media (AP)
4/ Former Director of National Intel Maguire briefs the gang of 8 in February and trump fires him for not briefing him first (AP)

Maybe that briefing including the bounties, and maybe that & #39;s the first congress has heard of it (AG)
5/ Trump does damage control & uses Barr to get rid of the non-cooperative GOP chair of the Senate Intel Cmte (Burr) ahead of their counterintelligence report (AG). Think of everyone he& #39;s fired since last April, and then think of all the favors he& #39;s done for Russia since then.
6/ Think of all the clandestine Pooty calls & secret meetings. Think about the fact that he blocked the DNI threat assessment from coming out in March for the first time in 14 years (AP). We need a full investigation, the PDBs, testimony, documents, EVERYTHING #TrumpTraitor
7/ This all sounds nuts to me, but a long time ago when we speculated that Roger Stone told trump about the Wikileaks dumps ahead of time & Manafort & Gates knew, I also thought we sounded crazy. Please note this is only conjecture based on public reporting. END
