Rachel Maddow's twitter feed prior to start of show

Rachel seems to be playing connect the dots...

Link to tweet

"Three months before the 2016 election, a small group gathered at Trump Tower to meet with Donald Trump Jr.... The emissary, George Nader, told Trump that the princes who led Saudi Arabia and UAE were eager to help his father win election as president."

"Donald Trump Jr. responded approvingly... and after those initial offers of help, Nader was quickly embraced as a close ally by Trump campaign advisers, meeting frequently with Jared Kushner and Michael T. Flynn, who became the president’s first national security adviser."

"It is unclear what — if any — direct assistance Saudi Arabia and UAE may have provided. But two people familiar with the meetings said that Trump campaign officials did not appear bothered by the idea of cooperation with foreigners."

"Mr. Nader and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia in a photograph obtained by The New York Times."

...and the FBI was so busy chasing Hillary's emails that they didn't notice fire-sale going on in tRump tower, a dedicated server talking to Russian banks, and God-only-knows the number of shady meetings on strange islands.

SOMETHING, ANYTHING, would come out of all the hard, laborious work his team has done . . .and do it before the election.

now has to start a whole new investigation into Saudi Arabia or do you think that Mueller may already have uncovered some of these connections while investigating ties to Putin and the fucking moron's finances? Will this take even longer to solve now?

since there is SOOOOOOOOOOOO much to investigate. No one should ask, "Why is Mueller taking so long?".

I also wonder how much of this will be released to the public, even if the Dems win the midterms. A lot of it seems extremely dangerous for some individuals who may be harmed by Putin and/or the Saudis if info is released.
