THREAD 7 pages 601-700 of the 966 page Senate Intelligence Committee’s #Volume5 counterintelligence report into Russian interference. In these pages we learn about more about what Butina was up to. Buckle up. Please read this report for yourself and draw your own conclusions.
Pg 602 We are still walking through Maria Butina’s operation. A main imperative was to make and retain contacts at the highest level of the Republican Party. She was also making in roads with the NRA. Which Republican Party leaders? Ron Johnson? Scott Walker? They’re from WI.
Let’s remind ourselves of some dots. A Russian agent, Konstantin Kilimnik, was given trump campaign data by Paul Manafort. Did data show a chance in Wisconsin among NRA voters? Is that why Russian agent Butina was so interested in WI Republican Party leaders? trump won Wisconsin.
Butina was interested in Carter Page which had to do with oil and energy, then all of a sudden, this same gun rights advocate, American University student from Russia is somehow enamored of Wisconsin politics? I think there is a word for what Butina is. A [REDACTED].
Pg 607 The good part about this exercise, is you don’t have to take my word for it. It’s all actually in the report. Like where it shows Butina invited Sheriff David Clarke to an NRA meeting in Moscow. You remember him. He was Sheriff of Milwaukee. The Wisconsin one.
Pg 608 Maria Butina, a well rounded [REDACTED] gets to ask trump a question. Is it about energy? No. Is it about gun rights or NRA? No. Is it about Wisconsin politics? No, then surely it was about American University. No, again. It was about 🥁🥁🥁Sanctions!
And because we have been paying attention we know that sanctions are as a result of the, say it with me troops, Magnitsky Act! I’m so proud of you guys. For anyone newly joining, you can get caught up by reading Threads 1-6.
Pg 609 The same Rand Paul who went to Russia with a letter from trump to Putin in April 2018? The same Rand Paul who won’t vote to make lynching a federal crime but cried because a crowd of protestors swarmed him and made him feel sad? That Rand Paul?
Pg 611 Nothing to see here really. Except a couple of Russian [REDACTED] not believing how easy their [REDACTED] is going to be with willing republicans helping them spy, I mean [REDACTED].
Pg 621 A relatively innocuous page until you realize Butina’s entrepreneurialism somehow now extends to Outdoor Channel which is one of our largest billboard companies. You know, that marketing you see on the highways? Is this why I saw that very misplaced Tulsi billboard?
Pg 629 What a service the @NewYorkStateAG is doing with her case against NRA. It isn’t just about taking money from donors for flights on private airplanes, they also took donor money to undermine democracy. Oh hey look, that’s Republican Senator Ted Cruz they’re referencing.
Pg 630 Know collusion, prayer breakfast remix. And on the very next page you will see they were looking to Senator and future Attorney General Jeff ‘Recusal’ Sessions on how to proceed with making a meeting between trump and Putin happen. So pious.
Pg 632 speaking of the pious, Franklin Graham, you know that guy that tells you how to live, think and do with your body? He is an ‘associate in Christ’ with Russian agent Alexander Torshin. They wanted the mtg in Rand Paul and McConnell’s KY. Good thing it’s a forgiving God.
Pg 641 You know what this story needs? A good ‘gene stock’ baby to cement relations between Russia and US. Taking a step back, these high profile non sexist Christian Republicans who aren’t racist want to pay $1m to a spy for a baby of good genes while undermining democracy.🤮
Pg 649 Exit Maria Butina from #Volume5
Pg 674 After Butina, the committee takes up the question of ‘the tapes’. You know which tapes. Anyhow, it is difficult to know if they exist but they will come out someday if they do and if they don’t, they won’t. Rumored the Crocus group would have them. Crocus = Agalarov’s.
Pg 675 Chaika is who Veselnetskya worked for. The Russian lawyer who met with jr in trump tower when he thought he was getting dirt on HRC but instead got Magnitsky education. Chaika used video kompromat in the past. The Agalarov’s hotel was wired for it. They set up tower mtg.
Pg 677 🚨Enter Cambridge Analytica. Now we are getting into something. Beware the use of social media and how the information is collected, sold and then used to target you. This goes for the UK too. If you think voter influence campaigns do not target you, you are wrong.
Pg 681 DYK it was trump campaign chair Steve Bannon who was VP of Cambridge Analytica and introduced this company to the trump campaign? Or that the only reason there was a CA in America is because the Mercer’s (Republican donors) invested $15m to make it so?
Pg 682 Again, you don’t have to take my word for it. You can read about it in the pages of #Volume5
Pg 686 Just read all of this page. Facebook, Bannon, Cambridge Analytica, Cruz, Kellyanne Conway. Remember how much fun you had taking Facebook’s ‘if you were a vegetable, which fruit would you be’ quiz? If so, they were working to influence you.
Pg 698 PsyGroup was like the Israeli Cambridge Analytica. You remember the name on this page. He bought trump’s mansion in Palm Beach for $95m after trump paid $10m for it. Totally kosher, to be sure.
I hope the media begins reporting on the damning evidence the Senate Republican lead Intel Committee found in their investigation into Russian interference. It’s all in #Volume5 Imagine what the Russians are up to now that our intel community is hiding it from Congress.
