THREAD. Mueller has curiously turned his attention to investigation of legal work done by Skadden Arps, a London law firm for Ukrainian Ministry of Justice on trial of Yulia Tymoshenko. THREAD about Yulia Tymoshenko, a longtime favorite of Dem neocons.
on March 14, 2014, a few weeks after US-backed coup, Tymoshenko, a favorite of Victoria Nuland and Hillary Clinton, said that 8 million "Russians" in eastern Ukraine, now "outcasts", should be exterminated with "nuclear weapons",
3/ ten days earlier, March 4, 2014, Tymoshenko and Victoria Nuland (who is connected to Steele) warmly greeted one another. Tymoshenko had been freed from jail immediately after coup on Feb 22 backed by Nuland and US

4/ Nuland was accompanied by a huge US delegation, including SecState John Kerry, a show of force interpreted as a provocation by Russia. Two days later, Crimea, part of Russia until 1954, announced a referendum to separate from Ukraine and re-join Russia.

5/ just noticed this: Tymoshenko's call to exterminate ethnic Russians in southern and eastern Ukraine with "nuclear weapons" was leaked on March 14, two days before Crimean referendum on Mar 16. Crimea, predominantly ethnic Russian, approved 95%.

6/ Hillary, Nuland and Tymoshenko had prior history. On Jul 2, 2010, Hillary met Tymoshenko in Kyiv. Next picture in article shows Hillary meeting Anne Applebaum's husband, Radoslaw Sikorski, later involved in securing Tymo's release from jail during coup

7/ in 2011, when Tymo charged with corruption. Victoria Nuland for State said
"when senior leadership of an opposition party is the focus of prosecutions, out of proportion with other political figures, this creates the appearance of a political motive". (Message to Mueller)
8/ on Feb 7, 2012, Hillary spoke against conviction and jailing of Tymoshenko to then President (now deposed) Yanukovych

9/ on May 1, 2012, Hillary issued a statement of concern on how Tymoshenko was being treated in prison

10/ in Sep 2012, London law firm, Skadden Arps, published the report on Tymoshenko's trial which has recently - and oddly - been under investigation by Mueller. One issue (as with Mueller's own investigation) was whether it was politically motivated
minjust.gov.ua/files/general/…
11/ in Jan 2013, Tymoshenko was accused of a contract killing of a rival in 1996. Just as she was leaving office, in almost her last act, Hillary called once again for Tymoshenko's immediate release

12/ during 2013, there was extensive US "meddling" in Ukraine using social media. US government, together with Soros' OSF, sponsored hromadske.tv an online TV station opposing the government. Long story to describe
rferl.org/a/ukraine-medi…
13/ ironically, the first call to the Maidan protests which gradually paralyzed the capital and led to the coup, was issued on Facebook by an employee of the US-Soros sponsored hromadske.tv on social media
opensocietyfoundations.org/voices/uprisin…
14/ US politicians met privately with leaders of the developing coup and to the Maidan demonstrations. Left - McCain at Maidan in December, right - with two coup leaders, one of which was leader of neo-Nazi Svoboda (Formerly Socialist Nationalist Party of Ukraine)
15/ wasn't just McCain. Joe Biden was "point" on the developing coup. Picture below shows him with leader of neo-Nazi Svoboda. After the coup, Biden's wayward son, Hunter, who'd lost his job for drug use, was given remunerative job with Ukrainian gas company.
16/ Biden spent hours on telephone with leaders of the coup. He visited Ukraine on more or last last day in office. He drolly observed that he talked more to Ukrainian president than his own wife.
17/ but, running point on the enterprise was Tymoshenko's old friend, Victoria Nuland. In December, she told a Washington think tank that US had invested over $5 billion shall-we-say "meddling" in Ukraine
18/ during Maidan, Nuland traveled to Ukraine repeatedly, meeting with key leaders of the coup - pictured here with Yatsenko (later leader of post-coup govt), Tyahnybok (leader of neo-Nazi Svoboda) and Klitschko (who Nuland decided to exclude from post-coup govt)
19/ in early February, Nuland instructed US ambassador Pyatt on her proposed post-coup government, deciding that Yats[enko] was who she wanted in charge
20/ meanwhile, the vanguard of the Maidan demonstrations was increasingly dominated by elements with neo-Nazi insignia: 14/88 was for 14 words, 88 =HH(itler). The Wolfsangel revived the symbol of the Waffen SS.
21/ the Maidan demonstrations also became increasingly violent, with demonstrators now turning to Molotov cocktails and even RPGs
22/ particularly deadly were Molotov cocktails with acetone chemicals which could not be easily doused, resulting in policemen being set on fire. Meanwhile, the Obama administration condemned any attempt by Ukraine government to use force to restore order.
23/ US (not meddling) distributed pamphlets to demonstrators with tips on equipping oneself for demonstrations - ironically, using exactly the same diagram in Ukraine as had been handed out in Tahrir Square, Egypt in Arab Spring other than translation
