2/ Earlier this year, reports start coming into Congress about a giant, multi-layer Russian effort to help Trump in 2020. Bigger than what they did in 2016. Looks like Russians are trying to get U.S. persons - especially those close to Trump - to help.

4/ On 7/24, Bill Evanina, Trump's counter-intel chief, releases a super vague statement. 72 words on Chinese/Iranian interference, and 54 words on Russia.

Very puzzling. Congress has never been briefed on any meaningful Chinese/Iranian interference plans.https://t.co/tZJEUWFVET
6/ Then, on 9/9, a bombshell that few noticed. The head of intelligence at DHS (the top guy!) files a whistleblower complaint.

He says the White House instructed him to bury info on Russian interference because it "made the President look bad." https://t.co/7fQWg6zfDO
8/ No press conference from Intel or the FBI or DHS that they've caught a Russian agent who has been in regular contact with the President's inner circle.
— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) October 1, 2020
Nope. Just buried in a sanctions announcement. Likely because so many people knew the intel, they knew it would come out.
10/ It's why Trump's former National Security Advisor, H.R. McMaster, said something today that is as shocking as it unsurprising.
— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) October 1, 2020
He said Trump is "aiding and abetting" Putin's interference campaign.
Wow.
But of course he is. And now you know the details.
