Jared Kushner friend Rick Gerson also met w Nader weeks before the Seychelles summit when Trump officials, Kushner, Mike Flynn & Steve Bannon, had gathered for a secret meeting with MBZ & UAE Amb Yousef Otaiba at a Four Seasons hotel in NY.

According to a foreign intelligence official, a flight manifest shows Rick Gerson was on a plane to Seychelles a few days ahead of Erik Prince's meeting w MBZ, Putin envoy Dmitriev, Nader & UAE officials, who considered Gerson to be "Kushner's guy."
by @KenDilanianNBC #Maddow
ICYMI: Intercepts in 2016 & 2017 indicated that Crown Prince MBZ, UAE's de facto ruler, saw Kushner as a target of influence. No surprise that "Kushner's guy" Rick Gerson attended the Erik Prince Seychelles meeting, AKA Russian back channel. #Maddow
Recall: In Dec 2016, Kushner told Russian Amb Kislyak he wanted a Kremlin back channel. THEN, Jared, Flynn, Bannon, Erik Prince [& Gerson] met in NY w/ Crown Prince MBZ & Nader who set up the Jan Seychelles mtg w/ Moscow emissary Kirill Dmitriev.

Mueller is probing the covert Four Seasons meeting as well as the Seychelles one w Erik Prince & if it was an effort to set up a Russian backchannel for Trump admin. "Kushner's guy" Gerson attended both.

On Jan 10, 2017 – the day before the Erik Prince/MBZ/Russian envoy/George Nader/Rick Gerson meeting in Seychelles – Nader & "Kushner's guy" Gerson exchanged messages on WhatsApp. In one message, Nader sent Gerson a Dec 2016 photo of himself & MBZ.

THREAD: In light of the Trump admin lifting sanctions on Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska's companies, recall that Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, conspired with Deripaska during the 2016 campaign with help from Russian intelligence operative Konstantin Kilimnik.
#Maddow
JUL 7, 2016: Manafort offers Deripaska private campaign briefings then meets with Kilimnik re the same on Aug 2.

AUG 11, 2016 email from Manafort's CPA: "Paul has indicated $2.4M in fees earned, but not yet received. Expected to be deposited Nov 2016 [post election?]."
#Maddow
JUL 29, 2016 email from Russian intelligence operative Kilimnik to Manafort [days after Trump accepts GOP nomination]: "I met today with [Deripaska]. I have important messages from him to you. He asked me to go & brief you on our conversation."

McCARTHY: There’s two people, I think, Putin pays – Rohrabacher and Trump...swear to God.

RYAN: This is an off the record [laughter] NO LEAKS...alright?! This is how we know we’re a real family.

SCALISE: That’s how you know that we’re tight.
-Never forget-
JUN 15, 2016, @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy to Paul Ryan, @SteveScalise, and other GOP: "There’s...there’s two people, I think, Putin pays. Rohrabacher and Trump...swear to God."

@Evan_McMullin was there and confirmed it was not a joke.
wapo.st/2pY7eFF
Per @Evan_McMullin: One senior GOP leader [that's you, @GOPLeader!] dolefully informed his peers that he thought Trump was on the Kremlin’s payroll and had been compromised by Russian intelligence. Other GOP leaders were surprised but did not dispute him.

CORRECTION: Manafort told Kilimnik to pass TRUMP polling data not to Deripaska but to Ukrainian oligarchs Rinat Akhmetov & Serhiy Lyovochkin, who funneled $50K to Trump's inaugural & is business partner to Dmytro Firtash [top-tier comrade of Russian mob boss Mogilevich].
#Maddow
FYI: Rick Gates testified that between 2010-2013, former Yanukovych CoS Serhiy Lyovochkin funneled $42M to Paul Manafort. At the time, Lyovochkin was business partner to Dmytro Firtash [top-tier comrade of Russian mob boss, Semion Mogilevich].
#Maddow kyivpost.com/ukraine-politi…
In his plea deal, Sam Patten, US business partner of Konstantin Kilimnik [Russian GRU associate of Manafort & Gates] who worked for Cambridge Analytica in 2014, said a Ukranian oligarch [Serhiy Lyovochkin] funneled $50K into Trump's inaugural fund.

In the aftermath of the brutal murder of Jamal #Khashoggi, we must keep an eye on Trump and his son-in-law Jared #Kushner, and examine their real motives in setting US policy. Are they abusing their power for their own ends?

[THREAD]
1/ With respect to the assassination, both Trump and Kushner both have skin in the game.
2/ Saudi Arabia was the first state visit Trump made as president, a trip organized and pushed for by Jared Kushner, who is chummy with the Crown Prince and has acted as the de facto ambassador to the Kingdom.

THREAD: In summer 2016, George Nader (representing Saudi Arabia & UAE) and an Israeli specialist in "social media manipulation" offered to help **THROW THE ELECTION** in a meeting w/Trump Jr arranged by Erik Prince‼️ 1/

nytimes.com/2018/05/19/us/…
At the Aug'16 #treason meet, Nader told Jr the crown princes of #SaudiArabia & #UAE were "eager to help his father win." The Israeli social media expert's (Joel Zamel) firm had already drawn up a multimillion $ proposal for a social media manipulation effort to help Trump.🤨 2/
Zamel's social media company #Wikistrat, which employed several Israeli former intelligence officers, specialized in "collecting information & shaping opinion through social media."🤨

Gee, that sounds familiar‼️🤬 3/
