@Michael124xplum Sorting out disinformation is complex at times. This news story suggests Nat Simons of Renaissance Technologies has ties to Russia, but it might actually be a misdirect (accusing others of doing what you are doing,) a common ploy of the extreme right/Russians 1/2
@Michael124xplum ‘Russian-funded environmental group gave millions to anti-fracking groups’

2/2
washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/russia…
@Michael124xplum Nat Simons (the supposed evil villain of the story) is Jim Simon’s son. And Jim Simons urged Robert Mercer to step down as co-CEO of Renaissance Technologies.

Ouch.

bloomberg.com/news/videos/20…
@Michael124xplum So I am wondering if this odd story, with Putin backing anti-fracking via Nat Simons...

I could speculate it’s a fake news story, crafted as revenge against Jim Simons, for making Mercer step down from Ren Tech leadership and give up Breitbart ownership.

1. Let’s see what Mnuchin is up to... Oh, he sent the market into a tailspin by calling an unnecessary emergency meeting Christmas Eve.

But there is more here than meets the eye. Let me explain.

2. Mnuchin Blames Volcker Rule for market volatility, which makes no sense, since the rule was in place during Obama and no volatilty.

The Volker rule essentially prevents banks from speculating that might be harmful to customers.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Hillary Clinton wanted to strengthen the Volker rule and was also going to propose a high-frequency trading tax.

Which would make Hedge Fund companies (like Mercer’s) a little miserable.

‘Trump administration is weighing Afghan troop withdrawal’

•Mattis leaving
•US pulling out of Syria

nbcnews.com/news/military/…
Putin is following the ‘Foundations of Geopolitics.’ In the book, Dugin calls for ‘strategic control of the United States’ and calls Russia the ‘staging area of an anti-American revolution.’ Dugin called for the weakening of ‘liberal values.’

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundatio…
For this plan to work: ‘Military operations play relatively little role. The textbook believes in a sophisticated program of subversion, destabilization, and disinformation spearheaded by the Russian special services’

1. This secret grand jury case is possibly Mueller’s and the court documents make reference to it being a company ‘owned by Country A.’ This limits which company it might be. Vnesheconombank (VEB) is a Russian government-owned bank.

talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/appe…
As per the New York Times (2017) VEB is ‘intertwined with Russian intelligence.’

It’s also the Bank that met secretly with Kushner and helped finance Trump’s Toronto hotel.

businessinsider.com/russian-vneshe…
Deutsche Bank and Alfa Bank are not state-owned. Cambridge Analytica and it’s related entities (SCL, AIQ) are located in other countries, but not state-owned.

This is also the case where the entire floor was cleared.

THREAD: Mueller has **at least FOUR DOZEN questions** on an huge array of subjects he wants to ask Trump to probe his ties w/#Russia🇷🇺 & whether he committed #ObstructionOfJustice‼️ 1/

#MuellerIsComing

nytimes.com/2018/04/30/us/…
The NYTimes **obtained the list of Qs that Mueller wants to ask Trump during an interview.🤨

It's VERY hard to imagine that details of the ACTUAL questions would leak, unless the negotiations btwn Mueller & Trump's lawyers have BROKEN DOWN (as I was told a few months ago).🤔 2/
Overall, Mueller's open-ended Q's attempt to penetrate Trump's thinking (good luck!), to understand Trump's motivation for his crazed Twitter posts & to examine Trump's relationships w/his family and his closest advisers.🤨 3/

Mercer-backed Cambridge Analytica not only was linked w/#Russia🇷🇺oil co #Lukoil, but Aleksandr Kogan (Cambridge Univ “academic” who harvested Facebook data for >50mln Americans) had previously unreported ties to a Russian university.🙄 1/

amp.theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…
Cambridge Analytica shared *details on targeting US voters* w/Lukoil, while Kogan developed Facebook data as a political tool & also was an assoc professor at St Petersburg State Univ, taking #Russian🇷🇺govt MONEY to fund research of social media‼️2/

NONE of Kogan’s Cambridge Univ colleagues knew of his post in St Petersburg.🤨

Kogan didn’t mention #Russia🇷🇺in his 10-page CV (resumé) he posted on a Cambridge U website . His CV lists undergrad prizes & grants of a few thousand dollars + dozens of media interviews.🤔 3/

THREAD: for those of you concerned about the relative quiet coming from Mueller: HAVE NO FEAR.

Mueller has assembled an A-team Justice🇺🇸League of some of the finest lawyers in the country, many of whom left lucrative jobs.

And they didn't come for the doughnuts.😎 1/
We've all become rather immune to the shockwaves of news. THIS IS PART OF TEAM🇷🇺TRUMP'S PLAN TO DISTRACT AND DEFLECT FROM THE *REAL NEWS*.

Don't let them distract you from the TRUTH‼️ 2/
TRUTH: in 9 months, Mueller already has 3 convictions (Flynn, PapaD, Gates) & 1 indictment (Manafort).🤔

Fmr CABINET MEMBER/NSA (Flynn)👉🏼pleaded GUILTY to LYING about his contacts with #Russia🇷🇺

Fmr campaign chair (Manafort)👉🏼indicted for laundering Russian cash.

🛑BREAKING🛑

THREAD: Steve Bannon was subpoenaed *last week* by Mueller “to testify before a grand jury as part of the investigation into possible links between Trump’s associates and #Russia🇷🇺”‼️ 1/

nytimes.com/2018/01/16/us/…
👆🏼THIS is the first time Mueller is known to have used a grand jury subpoena to seek info from *directly* Trump’s INNER CIRCLE‼️🤗 (Mueller has used subpoenas before to seek info *about* Trump’s associates & their ties to #Russia or other foreign governments.) 2/
Mueller likely is using the subpoena as a negotiating tactic b/c Bannon could likely avoid the grand jury if he agrees to be questioned by investigators in Team🇺🇸Mueller’s offices.🤔 3/

Team🇺🇸Mueller has asked witnesses, including WH Counsel Don McGahn & others (Hicks, Reince, Spicey) who worked in the West Wing, to go through each day that Flynn remained as NSA & *describe in detail* what they knew was happening inside the WH as it related to Flynn.🤨2/
One goal is to determine if #Trump and/or top officials — PENCE, Reince, Spicey, McGahn etc — to COVER UP the info about #Flynn that Sally Yates conveyed to McGahn on Jan 26‼️🤔 3/
