An expanded and less-redacted version of Mueller's report on the Trump-Russia affair has just been officially released. I'm going to read through it for anything *particularly* noteworthy, but I strongly recommend going through for yourself.https://twitter.com/ericgarland/status/1492266696333307919

Highlights as I encounter and digest them.Remember the "Harm to Ongoing Matters" redactions everywhere?(No, I didn't either until today. It's OK.)Seems like that was specifically Roger Stones's crimes.https://twitter.com/ericgarland/status/1492267248714715142

There was substantial deliberation as to whether to indict Assange (sure), Stone (obviously), and Trump *Jr*.https://twitter.com/ericgarland/status/1492267970818715648

Expect Blue MAGA/the Donut Squad to start whatabouting on Ferguson and the broader BLM movement, given its prominent appearance here.https://twitter.com/ericgarland/status/1492269388875157509

Stone didn't actually do a crime at Wikileaks's behest - those came later, while trying to *cover it all up*. Making false statements, obstruction of justice, witness tampering - none of these are *material* crimes, they're coverup crimes.https://twitter.com/ericgarland/status/1492270678774530055

As should be clear to us here, Russia's interferential role in the US 2016 Elections was *not* just trolling. It was an explicit and knowing instance of "hybrid warfare", Russia's favored MO.https://twitter.com/ericgarland/status/1492271666868666369Indeed, Russia appears to have considered itself at war *the entire time*, likely up to *the present day*. More on this in a quoting post.https://twitter.com/ericgarland/status/1492272370865913859

As above - this is explicitly the way that Russia likes to operate, when destabilizing a country that threatens or impedes its foreign policy objectives.https://twitter.com/ericgarland/status/1492272942176256002

As should *also* be clear to us here, Russia did indeed use Facebook's tools (keyword - Cambridge Analytica) to accomplish much of this.It's not just you, Facebook really has become a hellscape, and while it didn't do that on its own (yay!) it was *incredibly ripe to be made to do that*.https://twitter.com/ericgarland/status/1492273438769221632https://twitter.com/ericgarland/status/1492274954397790221

Evidently, the Russian government produced a fake Hillary Clinton sex tape?https://twitter.com/ericgarland/status/1492274020250705930Honestly, my p(there exists a Trump piss tape, real or faked) just went from about 50% to about 93%.

Pasting the image here because this is particularly important.Russia's guiding principles/concerns are an interesting mix of blatantly correct and worryingly possible.

Russia also organized political rallies on US soil.https://twitter.com/ericgarland/status/1492276418771832832

They also paid crisis actors.https://twitter.com/ericgarland/status/1492277123548991488Something to think about, when considering the time-tested truth that every accusation the right-wing makes is a tacit admission of guilt. "We've been doing this all this time, and you're still vaguely as powerful as us, so you must be doing it, too!"

Here it is. Here's the real lede. Not only did the Trump campaign accept free services from the Russian government, indeed right from their equivalent of the CIA, in blunt violation of US law, but the same Russian program had its fingers in the Brexit campaign as well.https://twitter.com/ericgarland/status/1492280446507487235https://twitter.com/ericgarland/status/1492284030796058629

I find it interesting, reading through this (btw), just how baked in the Russian leadership's assumption is that almost everyone else is also spectacularly corrupt or corruptible, that the *only* things that matter are money and power, and that surely everyone else is perfectly happy to commit constant grift.

Russian forces are currently shelling the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, in Zaporizhia. So that's probably bad.https://mobile.twitter.com/Phil_Lewis_/status/1499536903472926728

@publius @woozle "But the crowning shame of the whole affair is that Russia is one of the Big Five, the Permanent Members of the Security Council, who have solemnly pledged through the instrument of the United Nations Charter to set aside national and particular advantage for the sake of the supreme goal of protecting the peace of the world."hahahahahahahahHAAHhahahahHAHAHAHAHAHA

@publius @woozle Believe me, I feel you there. I mock, because otherwise I'd weep, and if I wept I'd never stop weeping.

An anti-abortion org's office in Wisconsin was recently firebombed, damaging it badly.Just today, a group called Jane's Revenge, a pro-abortion group, has taken credit for it, and issued an ultimatum demanding the dismantling of all anti-abortion establishments, fake clinics/crisis pregnancy centers, and groups within 30 days, else more widespread, more thoroughly damaging attacks will follow.https://twitter.com/LauraJedeed/status/1524025660079026177https://twitter.com/chifreemedia/status/1524033256592752640
