quote [ Accused Russian agent Maria Butina pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy on Thursday.
Butina, 30, was arrested in July on charges of being a foreign agent for Russia and trying to influence US policy by getting close to the National Rifle Association (NRA) in the lead-up to the 2016 election. The powerful gun lobby group is known to have close ties to Republican party politicians, including US President Donald Trump. ] Individual-1 is on a tear on Twitter today. Definitely not happy with today's news feed...

President Donald Trump's code name was widely reported during the campaign. He chose to be called 'Mogul', an homage to his real estate empire.
First Lady Melania Trump is known as 'Muse' because of her former career as a model. Ivanka Trump's Secret Service code name is 'Marvel', according to the Daily Caller. ABC News reported Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump will be known as 'Mountaineer' and 'Marksman', respectively. Code names for 10-year-old Barron Trump and Tiffany Trump, 23, have not been released. Vice President Mike Pence is known as 'Hoosier' and Second Lady Karen Pence is known as 'Hummingbird'. |

Something big and mysterious is going on as we speak.
Reporters kicked off the 5th floor entirely for a sealed appeals hearing that may involve #Mueller on s grand jury dispute. They are even searching stairwells for reporters. We have split up and trying to cover all entrances and exits…. We're now allowed back on the floor where DC Circuit arguments were taking place, but the courtroom area is locked and no official confirmation yet that arguments are over. No spottings of note so far (your court press corps is spread out around the building and outside) And that's a wrap, a court employee just walked out of the courtroom area and confirmed arguments on the sealed grand jury matter have ended. No sightings so far (there are ways for people to enter/exit the courthouse that are not public) Entire Floor at D.C. Federal Courthouse Sealed Off for Mystery Case |
