To give perspective on the indictment numbers I was told, all senators/reps who knowingly took Russian money, which is to say all of them, are going down. Butina has told everything on national and local GOPs, and people like Scot Walker are busted too......../1

No exaggeration to say if they are in a picture with Butina they are going to jail. Also Butina gave up evangelical groups that laundered money. Remember Torshin sent her to the National Prayer Breakfast. And add Broidy and Cohen as RNC fundraisers. ALL HAVE FLIPPED....../2

1. How legit

is Hilts?

Would love it if this is true!

[jberryhill]

3. Well, he IS the lead character in The Great Escape

So there’s that.

[Roland99]

7. Not quite the vein of a Seth Abramson but I've flowed him for a while

Only time will tell, unfortunately

[Tommy_Carcetti]

49. But Seth Abramson actually does research and cites sources.

This guy just talks about what he claims some other “guy” supposedly tells him.

Problem is Abramson who actually does his homework gets lumped in with people like this on Twitter and gets unfairly criticized as a result.

[NewJeffCT]

25. I have no idea

but, unlike a Seth Abramson, who gets almost all of his information from legitimate mainstream news sources worldwide, I don't see any support for what he is claiming.

[jberryhill]

2. Captain Hilts, eh?

[Achilleaze]

4. republicans who have betrayed America: They are Legion

[MontanaMama]

5. I would love for this to be true.

I see my Senator on this list.

[GoCubsGo]

8. Mine is on that list, as well, not surprisingly.

I don't know how legitimate this whole thing is, but I thought it was pretty clear that Miss Lindsey is up to his eyeballs in Russian money. Nothing surprises me anymore with these assholes, and I would not be at all surprised if at least some of this does turn out to be true.

[Dem_4_Life]

18. Mine too. I hope this is true.

[eleny]

6. Seven in his list visited Russia together this past July 4th

So I'm surprised he didn't include Rep. Kay Granger (Tex.) who was part of that group.

I see our CO Sen. Gardner in his list. We'll be working hard for his loss in 2020. I'm beginning to wonder if Gardner will run again.

[Roland99]

9. The listing of names was just Senators. I haven't seen a list of Reps

[eleny]

13. Oh! Thanks for the clarification. I didn't notice that

[Irishxs]

10. Seems entirely possible. A + B C. Where the gop sees $$, they will run to it.

No thoughts of country at all. This is the “me, me, me” party.

[Drahthaardogs]

11. They ALL took the dirty Russian money!

Keep saying it cause it's true!

[milestogo]

12. Wisconsin assholes Ron Johnson and Scott Walker, probably Paul Ryan will go down.

Evil men.

[ScratchCat]

14. Keep your eye on the fake US Spy abduction

situation in Russia. Its part of the plan to get Butina back to Putin. Mark my word. Trump will be proposing a "trade" that will require the DOJ to not use anything she said. Watch.

[GulfCoast66]

55. Winner, winner chicken dinner

Knew the minute I heard it.

[Thomas Hurt]

15. Believe when I see it......break out the booze and dance....

if convicted, hell just being indicted, would seriously hurt the GOP with independents and middle of the road.

[LexVegas]

16. I so hope this is true, but I am doubtful. nt

[Roland99]

17. Minor update...

Link to tweet

[bluestarone]

19. WE all are about 90% sure BUT

Now to prove it!!!!! My fingers are crossed!!!!!!!!!!

[Baltimike]

20. I tink they're going to try and trade her for Ed Whelan...that's one of their next moves. nt

[ScratchCat]

21. YEP!

Trump is going to sign an EO that returns her to Russia for Whelan and then her testimony can't be used in any prosecution(because she wouldn't be available for trial). Its all a set-up.

[roamer65]

39. Then Putin will have her killed.

[volstork]

22. Where is Servile Susan?

Her husband is connected to the Russian mob, so there's no way she's not compromised, too.

[northoftheborder]

23. surprised Cruz not on the list

[DeminPennswoods]

24. Not sure this is believable, but

Russian making a tit-for-tat arrest of an American for espionage makes me think Butina was more than some random free-lancer, wanna-be agent for Russia.

[NewJeffCT]

30. agreed that Butina is important

even if she gave up the NRA and a few other Republicans, it's a HUGE deal.

They might want her back so she can "accidentally" fall out of a 30 story window or similar.

[HubertHeaver]

38. Trip and fall into a blast furnace at the local steel mill.

[Eliot Rosewater]

26. How can McConnell not be on that list.

Strange, that is.

I will take it though if all of these are indicted.

[LexVegas]

27. Mitch.

[IphengeniaBlumgarten]

29. Mitch is on list, thought that was him nt

[Roland99]

41. Yeah. The Mitch refers to McConnell

[NewJeffCT]

31. His tweets

indicate that Senate leadership was not included on his lead.

[Sneederbunk]

28. Check their hands for the ink of rubles.

[Paladin]

32. I hope the Falwell empire is among the "evangelical groups." (nt)

[rufus dog]

52. It hit me about six months ago

Mega Churches are almost a perfect place to launder money.

Incoming cash from actual church goers.

Large buildings. (Initial construction costs and upkeep)

Largely volunteer staff so minimal staff oversight.

Not sure of the audit process of churches.

Regardless, some clean cash income mixed with Russian money. Large cash outlays. Can't get a much better way to launder money.

[Paladin]

57. Needs to be checked out.

Particularly as to punks like Falwell Jr.

[CrispyQ]

34. Yeah.

TPTB will never let the entire upper echelon of GOP senate go down.

[2naSalit]

35. Now that's what I've been predicting

and then there are even more in the House and then the entire Cabinet and WH staff past and present, and maybe a few judges. There's a whole lot of empty seats are going to be seen and soon, I hope.

[Wounded Bear]

36. Old white men charmed by a young Russian woman spy...

Gawd, truth really is stranger than fiction. If someone pitched this as a movie, he'd be laughed out of Hollywood.

[malaise]

37. This explains why they chose the NRA over American school children

It also explains why Paul Ryan didn't run again. I am waiting for the Wisconsin shoes to drop - Ryan, Priebus and Walker.

[Volaris]

46. Prebuis will be the link between the RNC and the White House ...

Do YOU think he was qualified to be CoS?
I didn't think so. That was his 'ask' for keeping his mouth shut.
He thinks he got out early enough. My bet is he didn't lol!

[malaise]

54. +1.000

My bet too

[Calista241]

40. It's just not believable.

Unless we are the country of political purges now.

They’ve been investigating the President for 2 years, and he’s still in office. If there’s one thing politicians know what to do, it’s covering their own ass. Prosecutors couldn’t possibly have come up with these amount of cases in that short of time. Unless they’re going to be prosecuted for speeding or some traffic infraction.

[Vinca]

42. Who the hell is "Captain Hilts" and why should anyone believe him??

He could be Yuri in Moscow for all we know.

[Roland99]

43. Was Jared wired??

Link to tweet

If any of this even remotely is true this democracy may yet be saved

[Tommy_Carcetti]

47. Why are you suddenly putting so much credence into this random guy on Twitter?

Sure he says great stuff but there is literally nothing that establishes he is even in the least bit credible.

You gotta have some standards before you even think of teasing us with this stuff.

Otherwise just wait it out and let things play out however they do.

[Roland99]

48. I've followed him for a while. He seems to have some good contacts

[Hortensis]

58. So do I, though. Two degrees of separation through every

top journalist with access to the immense resources of every top information medium, ProPublica, NYT, Mother Jones, WSJ, WaPo, and so on. (I know them all by their first names. )

[Volaris]

44. And if this money came through the RNC, and was mob-supplied on the front end...

How is this anything but a RICO indictment?

By the Old God's and The New, let it be so.

[Takket]

45. Unsourced speculation from an unverified twitter account

Seems legit!

[Mrs. Overall]

50. I hope this isn't mere speculation, but is true, true, true.

[fleabiscuit]

51. F*cking republicans are nothing but a cancer in our republic. nt

[sfwriter]

53. yeah, this guy is a class act...
