#Navalny is on a hunger strike (lost 16 lbs since the arrival to the colony); has severe back/legs pain. To suppress the protests, the Kremlin cracks down on the opposition & social media. To spark nationalism, #Putin pulled troops to the #Ukrainian border. Europe fears war.
Instead of doctors, the Kremlin sent #MariaButina, reporting for RT (Russian Today.) Yes, that Butina. washingtonpost.com/world/europe/r…
"In the past week, the U.S. military’s European Command raised its watch level from possible crisis to potential imminent crisis — the highest level — in response to the deployment of the additional Russian troops." nytimes.com/2021/03/30/wor…

What if the Bidens aren't the real target of the letter from @ChuckGrassley & Senator Johnson to Treasury & State?

What if the Bidens are an excuse to expose firewalls at FINCEN & State's action to protect not just the Bidens but the entire Swamp?

If you have followed me for awhile, you know I believe that Treasury's FINCEN has played a central role in protecting Swamp Creatures from coming under investigation for financial crimes such as money laundering & tax evasion.

What does FINCEN do with SARs on #SwampCreatures
I'm sure FINCEN received some SARs on these individuals & companies.
So what did FINCEN do when they received these Suspicious Activity Reports from banks & other financial networks?
I'm quite certain Senator Grassley will find out!

So #MariaButina was released from fed prison this morning & per her lawyer she will be on her way to the Motherland TODAY! How is it that she gets a BOP-to ICE-to plane in few hours and my clients sit in ICE detention the full removal period & more? washex.am/2MImYv0
Let me walk you though the process of effecting removal after completion of a criminal sentence that applies to anyone not named #MariaButina.
#MariaButina appears to have entered into a stipulated order of removal as part of her plea deal/federal sentencing, thus bypassing the need to go before an immigration judge for determination of removability. Nothing unusual here. 1/

#MarshaBlackburn has problematic links to Russia. To #MariaButina via her long-time friend and campaign aide #KlinePreston and to Russian operative #AlexanderTorshin. See next tweet for more. twitter.com/IndivisibleNet
Here's #KlinePreston Blackburn's long-time friend and campaign aide who introduced #Torshin to the #NRA. Time for us to take the dangers posed by #ChristianNationalists seriously. They are not for democracy if democracy does not deliver Christian law. thinkprogress.org/new-documents-…

Senate Finance Committee (chaired by Grassley) is now investigating meetings between #Obama admin officials Nathan Sheets & Stanley Fischer and Russian agents #MariaButina and Alexander Torshin that were arranged by the Center for the National Interest.

#ButNothingsHappening
Here's a previous thread I did on Nathan Sheets

In April 2018, the #Trump administration/US Treasury sanctioned Alexander Torshin for "worldwide malign activity."

1. At risk of being one of many to wrongly predict what Mueller is up to, I make this observations based on circumstantial evidence in public record to report that I think something big is coming. First, past four days Trump is shuttered in the White House with just a cell phone.
2. Second, the #SCOTUS CJ Roberts ordered (we presume Mueller's Govt team) to respond to the secret Grand Jury case stay he granted by Dec. 31 at noon. They did it three days early. I think this case may be the Rosneft bribe reported in the Steele dossier. Trump knows if it is. Docket excerpt from Grand Jury case in SCOTUSExcerpt of Steele dossier
3. Finally, case I'm watching at SCOTUS that I think may remove Whitaker as AAG is teed up to discuss in conference on January 11. I have reported extensively on this including detailed analysis of legislative history. IMO #SCOTUS must declare Whitaker to be former DOJ employee. Whitaker cert petition motion to declare not AG case docket.

#MariaButina #PleaBargain (THREAD)

Butina has signed a statement admitting that she "sought to establish unofficial lines of communication with Americans having power and influence over US politics" at the direction of the Russian government.
Pre-agreement, the press published:

"Accused Russian spy Maria Butina and Republican operative Paul Erickson, "agreed and conspired", with Russian official Alexander Torshin to lay the groundwork for an unofficial channel of communication with the Trump Administration."

Hmmmm, some info in here that I never saw before.

#MariaButina had also met with two senior Treasury & Federal Reserve officials back in 2015 - then Fed Vice Chairman, Stanley Fischer, and then Treasury undersecretary for international affairs, Nathan Sheets.

#Russiagate
Stanley Fischer had submitted his resignation back on September 6, 2017, to be effective around October 13, 2017.

At the time he resigned, he had cited "personal reasons."

1. When Russia attacked #Ukraine I saw it coming. Obama angered Putin by cruising two Naval war ships off of Sochi during Olympics. The soon to be grounded USS Taylor, an obsolete Perry frigate, and the command ship the USS White Plains. The @DeptofDefense has great weapons
2. but is completely unarmed when it comes to propaganda defense. I watched the Ukraine Maidan and saw that Russia was getting ready to invade. I did what I could to fight Russian propaganda but without competent @CIA @DefenseIntel capability the Russians just rolled into Ukraine
3. and are still there. We need to wall Russia out of our internet. The @NSAGov can put switches on each entry point for Russian packets. It will take time and there will be cracks but the blocking of all Russian internet traffic must be strategic goal of the US @DeptofDefense.
