There are 17 numbered tweets in this thread, starting with this one

https://twitter.com/scsazak/status/815027181596344320

and I'll copy in just the first few:

1/ Taking my friend & Russia wonk par excellence @joelw_762's advice & doing a thread on what I saw in my foray in Trump oppo files.

2/ From mid-summer to Election Day, I consulted for 3 different clients, whose names I will not name, on Trump's assets, mainly in TR & AS.

3/ There are so many different angles to Trump's business interests from mob ties to LatAm and Turkish oligarchs. I'll only focus on Russia.

4. This gets me to thinking that...

The entire GOP is in Putin's pocket. There is no acknowledgement among them that Putin is leading Trump by the nose BECAUSE of Trump's indebtedness to Russian oligarchs. A long time ago, Trump sold out. He took Russian money by the hundreds of millions.

He's heavily in debt.

He can't bite the hand that feeds him.

He has nothing but praise for a powerful adversary.

The GOP knows what's happening. All of the political world knows what's happening.

Trump is a Russian ASSET. Why there is even a question about this is astounding. This is a scandal and a criminal act so big and so damaging to the US that no one can even talk about it openly. Doing so will bring down the entire house of cards that is the Trump victory and GOP complicity in the Russian-sponsored coup.

5. The "media" flat out refused

to cover the money laundering the Russians were involved in. They mentioned it once or twice, then that disappeared from every talking head in the US.

6. K & R

7. On the one hand, tweets aren't necessarily evidence of anything

but on the other: There is plenty of evidence that fRump's businesses need investigating.

I certainly expect that the dems must have a plan for revealing anything they can unfover.
