Special counsel obtains Trump ally Erik Prince's phones & computer. In sworn testimony, Prince denied business deals with Russians but 2 of his ex-associates have been contacted by investigators re deals between Prince's FSG & Russian nationals.
#Maddow abcn.ws/2Kj0I7k
One ex Erik Prince assoc told Mueller investigators about Prince's undisclosed alliance w/ Dimitriy Streshinskiy, a former Russian special forces soldier turned arms dealer who helped Prince try & secure a possibly illegal contract w/ Azerbaijan.
#Maddow
Another ex-associate was approached by the FBI about dealings between Erik Prince's Frontier Services Group & Russian state-owned firm Rostec re a proposed refinery operation in Tanzania & Uganda. "FSG was trying to build a relationship with Rostec. Rostec met with Erik."
#Maddow
Sergey Chemezov, long-time Putin ally & CEO of Rostec [Russian state-owned military weapons firm] is under US sanctions, yet his private jet has been flying into the US this year – landing near an Erik Prince linked company.
HT @tobyjoe @MacFinn44 #Maddow
Before he was FBI director, Chris Wray led an investigation [at the request of FSG who suspected Erik Prince of illegal activity] that found Prince's illicit deals with the govt of Azerbaijan likely broke US law.
by @jeremyscahill @matthewacole #Maddow interc.pt/2GJ0DsB
Erik Prince was not cooperating or supportive of FSG's 2016 internal investigation. But now, Mueller has questioned ex Prince associates about his business partner on the illicit Azerbaijan military deal, Russian arms dealer Dimitriy Streshinskiy.
#Maddow
ICYMI: The Russian state-owned arms export division of Rostec is Rosoboronexport, which had been contracted to "provide regional security" for Mike Flynn's Middle East nuclear scheme even though they were under US sanctions.
#Maddow
Recall: According to a whistleblower, Flynn texted his business partner during Trump's inauguration that Russian sanctions [on Rostec] which block their nuclear deal would be "ripped up" once Trump was inside the WH & money would start flowing in.
#Maddow
An internal slide presentation on Flynn's nuclear scheme: “Total Regional Security” will be provided by Russian state-owned weapons exporter Rosoboronexport [owned by Rostec, which was involved in an Erik Prince deal now under Mueller's scrutiny].

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.

#Trump ajoute la controverse en fin d'1 déjà bien mauvaise soirée pour lui par ce tweet où il utilise 1 dog whistle (message suggéré)clair. Traiter de"dumb" (crétins) le présentateur de CNN Don Lemon et la star du #basket #LeBronJames, tous 2 Afro-Américains"parlera"à sa base. RT
2) En 2017, le General Social Survey de l'université de Chicago établissait que les 2 principaux clichés racistes sur les Afro-Américains- idiots et paresseux- avaient la vie dure chez les républicains. #Trump n'insulte pas #LeBronJames et #Lemon au hasard washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/w…
3) Quant au "#IlikeMike" cryptique de #Trump à la fin de son tweet, il indique sans nul doute la préférence du président pour Michael Jordan, l'ex-star du basket #NBA dont le rang de plus grand joueur de l'histoire est aujourd'hui contesté par #LeBronJames...

💧Deluge💧

Big Picture TOC:

‘The whole mess of RU hacking, CA, the Trump & Leave Campaigns was not only a coup but an unprecedented shorting of the market through mass manipulation of the electorate w/ the aim of controlling not only geopolitics but the financial markets too’
💧Deluge2💧

Mueller’s RU probe will reach a “wild” level over the next couple of months, said Mark Warner

Court docs allegeTrump SoHo condominiums in the building were purchased using funds linked to a massive fraud case in the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan.
💧Deluge3💧

Mueller nabs E. Prince's phones, computer & is said to be cooperating.

What does the British gov’t know about 45 & RU? Quite a lot, actually!

For the UK the choice over whether to back Mueller & the rule of law or the thug Putin & TOC, the choice is a no brainer.

Special counsel obtains Trump ally Erik Prince's phones, computer - a spokesperson for Prince released a statement noting that Prince has provided Mueller with “total access to his phone and computer.”
abcn.ws/2Kj0I7k
Agree with this, doubt they will find anything - but what struck me is that looking at his phone/computer is much more serious than only talking to him
Two former business associates were contacted by investigators probing deals between Prince's Frontier Services Group & Russian Nationals - including an alliance with Dimitriy Streshinskiy, a former special forces soldier now arms dealer and manufacturer

THREAD: @MichaelAvenatti unloads on Team🇷🇺Traitor and outs them for meeting with Ahmed Al-Rumaihi, who represents #Qatar‼️

Avenatti says that Al-Rumaihi bragged that he had BRIBED Trump Administration officials.🤨 1/

#Bribery
#Corruption
The story gets VERY bizarre, VERY quickly.

According to the Daily Mail (so bear that in mind), Ice Cube (yes, the rapper) & his business partner (Jeff Kwatinetz) claim in a lawsuit that Bannon was the target of a bizarre #bribery plot by #Qatar.🤨 2/

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5…
Ice Cube & Kwatinetz claim that a Qatari investor (Al-Rumaihi) in their BIG3 basketball league tried to get access to Bannon when he in the WH, and that Al-Rumaihi was a front for the Qatari government.

Kwatinetz & Bannon had worked together previously & remain 'friends.'🤔 3/
