Reagan era Ambassador to Russia Jack Matlock made some profoundly sane remarks to House Foreign Affairs on June 14, 2016 which clearly articulated the Montenegro controversy in news, arising from @TuckerCarlson interview.

docs.house.gov/meetings/FA/FA…
2/ Matlock observed astutely that "military alliances can create liabilities rather than augmenting power" and asked "What is to keep an ‘‘ally’’ from picking a fight unnecessarily and then expecting Uncle Sam to win it for him?" Clearly stating the issue.
3/ Matlock's comments to the House committee were full of wisdom. However, they mostly ignored him in favor of his fellow panelist Michael McFaul, who bristled with the neocon sanctimoniousness that they wanted to hear.

DOJ charged @NVeselnitskaya with making a "false and misleading declaration implying" that she had not participated in drafting Russian response to US inquiry. Before looking at details, the US DOJ made false statements in indictment, including canard that Magnitsky was lawyer.
2/ @LucyKomisar, who has diligently researched Browder frauds (and others) have shown that Magnitsky was accountant for Browder firms, convicted for his role in Browder tax frauds in Russia. He was NOT heroic "lawyer" exposing fraud.

3/ although Magnitsky was NOT a lawyer, Browder has stated over and over that he was - a point not arguable, but conceded by Browder in his deposition in Prevezon case (in SDNY)

@2xwide_dreaming @dr_davidsmith @wakeywakey16 @Larry_Beech @taleof2servers In that post, I mentioned an "Easter egg". I explained the Easter egg in a follow-up post climateaudit.org/2018/03/24/att…. There was an apparent infrastructure link between the Lurk banking gang and the spearphishing campaign attributed to APT28 (Fancy Bear) by SecureWorks.
@2xwide_dreaming @dr_davidsmith @wakeywakey16 @Larry_Beech @taleof2servers registrant of googlesetting[.com] domain used in the 2015 spearphishing campaign analysed by SecureWorks (June 26, 2016) is andre_roy@mail.com, also registrant for numerous domains in Oct 2014 PWC inventory pwc.blogs.com/files/tactical… of APT28 domains. Connecting spearphish to APT28.
@2xwide_dreaming @dr_davidsmith @wakeywakey16 @Larry_Beech @taleof2servers 2/ registrant of accoounts-google[.com, other domain used in 2015 spearphishing campaign, is "Gennadiy Borisov" with email yingw90@yahoo.com, used in scores of crimeware domains associated with Lurk's Angler exploit kit.

1/ the number of "coincidences" in Russiagate never cease to amaze. In this thread, I'll discuss a surprising link between analysis of the 2015-2016 spearphishing campaign(which caught Podesta and others) and Ukrainian InformNapalm operatives. Precise meaning unclear
@Stranahan
2/ on June 16, 2016, the day after Crowdstrike's reveal article, SecureWorks secureworks.com/research/threa… reported tht they had been using bitly links to monitor a spearphishing campaign, which, between mid-March and mid-May had targeted both hillaryclinton.com and gmail accounts
3/ in a second article secureworks.com/research/threa… on June 26, 2016, SecureWorks described the techniques of the spearphishing campaign, providing several intriguing examples.

Trump wingman Rand Paul invited members of the foreign affairs committee of Russia to come to the US after Paul met with Konstantin Kosachev.

Kosachev is the man alleged to have met with Trump’s attorney, Michael Cohen in June 2016, in Prague

hillreporter.com/the-day-after-…
#Russia's state TV:
Rand Paul says he invited Russian lawmakers to come to Washington. He seems to be gesturing towards Konstantin Kosachev, who can't travel to the US since he is under sanctions. via @JuliaDavisNews
"Mueller’s investigators also have evidence that Cohen actually met with a prominent Russian – purportedly Konstantin Kosachev ... who chairs the Foreign Affairs"

Rand Paul met w him & invited him to US even though he is banned by election sanctions

Stunning news that the directors of all three Russian spy agencies (FSB, GRU, SVR) visited Washington last week. These are the very people who planned and executed the attack on our election. So why were they invited?
rferl.org/a/russia-spy-c…
The purported subject of their discussion, counterterrorism, has always been a blind alley for US-Russia cooperation, as I explained in testimony to the House Foreign Affairs Committee in November 👇

docs.house.gov/meetings/FA/FA…
Something smells rotten here. There are plenty of ways to pass messages and receive information without formally inviting your chief adversaries to pay you a visit. Particularly since all three directors were invited, there's clearly a political play here on the US side.
