Trump/Russia/SDNY investigation

Is this the statement you're referring to?
If so, then i stand by my previous post.
Just because there's a photo of this guy with Boris at an event doesn't mean Boris knows the guy and Boris in all likelihood will have had no idea who this "professor" was when he was asked for a picture.
This briefing about the interviews they are doing with Clovis - that they’re trying to establish whether Trump had any knowledge of the contact with Russia when he was a candidate or president elect.
I might be way off but I can’t help but think Mueller’s team has already got testimony or evidence of that fact recently and is putting a bit of bait out there for Trump.
He’s stupid enough to try to distance himself, hang the ones already caught out to dry and to say publicly, probably through Twitter, something that drops the likes of Flynn, Manafort and Papadopoulos in the shit and absolves himself of blame.
The investigators always being one step ahead then follow up with the bombshell that they have proof that Trump was complicit or even directing the whole thing.
At that point his acknowledging the guilt of his minions can be flipped back onto himself - in his own words he’s admitted they are guilty and if that’s the case then logic suggests he must be as well.

Delicious.
Wikileaks in this instance being a front for Russian intelligence (GRU)
“Hi Don” 
that bloke's neighbours must hate himOh yes.
And, I also thought of his neighbours with that big auld mess

The Julia Ioffe article is one hell of read.
Just got through it there. "And here's the kicker" bit is beautiful.
Noticing a sudden surge in twitter accounts attempting to discredit the article. Must be Russian bots.
I guess there may have been one or two people in the world who still thought Wikileaks was impartial before they said this
It really is about time Twitter pull their finger out. I was reading how a couple of talented young ComSci students built a machine learning algorithm to suss out bots with the limited access they have to the Twitter APIand it had a 97% accuracy rate. With the access and resources Twitter have they could hit 99.9%+ and the unfortunate <0.01% that were mistaken for bots might have the inconvenience of having to pass a two phase security check.
The fact is that they don’t want to - mostly because their profits will be hit but as much as anything it’ll be incredibly embarrassing for them when the curtain is pulled back and the almighty Twitter is exposed as being driven by ghost traffic. It’s not just the actual fabricated tweets, it’s the collateral activity those tweets create.
Aye, the problem here for them won't necessarily be the bots but the scale of the whole thing. When you go down into the rabbit hole it's remarkably prevalent.
I made a post in a brexit thread on r/ukpolitics and somebody posted something daft in reply. I clicked his username out of curiosity to see if this guy is some mad Brexit campaigner and to my surprise it was their first post. I tried replying to him but in the time it took me to write a sentence or two the account and post had been deleted. I imagine this is an example of Reddit's anti-bot/troll system at work?
Could be. Read posts on there occasionally and noticed someone had looked at a particular account and deduced that it was consistently active during Russian working hours (for up to 16 hours, indicating multiple users) and that it was silent during large parts of the day in the UK.

So Pence says he knows nothing about it. So he was lied to? And he's fine with this? He's fine being kept in the dark and lied to and being made to go out to make false statements. Nice
Can't find them. What do I need to search for?
Its pretty random. Just look through some of the twitter replies on various high profile tweets.
He's been spinning it all day long. Just have a look at Assange's twitter.
Would be interesting to see how wikileaks tries to spin this.

@Raoul
You think anything major will come of all this, or is it mostly hope for now?
As in major in taking down or taking away some power from the Republicans/Trump administration.

Hard to say. We're still fairly early in a lengthy process that could take years to resolve.
Even if nothing else comes out of this, at least that tit assange is finally completely exposed.
The request that Assange should be appointed ambassador to the USA immediately brought to mind something very familiar...
feck me I can't belive it's been a year of this already

"Many people" = "Me and Nigel"
He's an idiot.
"Hey dad, look at this!"
*Looks, takes 14mins to type a stubby-fingered tweet and hits enter...
Do you not remembering him literally recounting a conversation with Putin during the campaign?
Assange is a cnut. I bet Benedict Cumberbatch is regretting playing him in a movie.
