THREAD: 1/ I know this sounds likes super space beans, but I need to get it out of my head so I'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 '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's fired since last April, and then think of all the favors he'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
