Who Is Tad Devine?

Tad Devine is a political advisor. His speciality is marketing, more specifically rebranding a candidate & shaping the narrative of a campaign/election for max appeal. In other words, he polishes turds for a living & sells those turds to the voting public 1/
Devine might be familiar to some as the inspiration behind the S Bullock film Our Brand Is Crisis. The title (his catch phrase) reflects his usual campaign strategy: Create a crisis so you can sell your candidate as the solution to the crisis. Watch👇🏼 2/
The movie told the story of his work in Bolivia for Goni. Devine manufactured fear of an economic crisis, branded Goni as the revolutionary leader of the ppl who would fix it. He won, he was also a crook. Chaos & an uprising ensued. Nice work Tad 🙄 Anyway... 3/
Tad finest work was in the Ukraine for Yanukovych, Putin’s candidate & a crony for the Kremlin. The 1st election of his Tad worked was tainted by voter fraud & the poisoning of his opposition (see below). Not accusing Tad 😉 but it gives you an idea of who Yanukovych is 4/
Fast forward a few years later to the Ukrainian election Paul Manafort is now under investigation for. As you may know, Manafort was working on Yanukovych’s campaign & he brought back Devine to help. In short, Paul & Tad were partners working to elect the Kremlin’s crony 5/
The fact these 2 American politicos were partners for the Ukrainian campaign & resulting shenanigans Mueller is investigating is reason enuf to wonder why Devine’s name hasn’t been mentioned. But there’s an even bigger reason. DEVINE WAS BERNIE SANDERS 2016 CAMPAIGN ADVISER!! 6/
To sum up: Manafort & Tad Devine worked together on behalf of Putin to help elect a crooked authoritarian to do Russia’s bidding in the Ukraine. Immediately following they both happened to run the campaigns opposing Hillary in ‘16 & both benefited from Russia’s interference 🤔 7/
So yeah, a lot of us wonder WTF the media are ignoring the obvious associations & possible implications

Even if they don’t want to tackle the Sanders connection they should at least be asking if Devine has been called as a witness or if he’s being investigated himself
