THIRTEEN DAYS IN MAY: THE RACE TO GET JARED KUSHNER

May 4, 2017 - May 17, 2017

newyorker.com/magazine/2018/…
May 4, 2017 - President Trump travels to his private golf club in Bedminster, NJ for a long weekend. He is accompanied by his daughter, Ivanka, and her husband, Jared Kushner, as well as advisor, Stephen Miller.
The New York Times reported that Kushner and Miller recommend firing FBI Director James Comey.

nytimes.com/2017/09/01/us/…
May 6 , 2017 - New York Times publishes an article on Kushner family business dealings with Chinese investors.

nytimes.com/2017/05/06/wor…
May 6, 2017 - Washington Post also publishes a story on Kushner family business deals with Chinese investors.

washingtonpost.com/world/in-a-bei…
May 7, 2017 - The following day New York Times published another article on the Kushner family and China.

nytimes.com/2017/05/07/bus…
May 9, 2017 - President Trump fires Comey

Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr says in a statement that “"His dismissal, I believe, is a loss for the Bureau and the nation."
May 9, 2017 - Strzok and Page exchange a flurry of texts, including:
I believe Page is referring to Jared Kushner here.
Nice work by @codyave filling in the redaction.
May 11, 2017
“Dina” is the section chief for Economic Espionage Unit.

(Why I believe this to be the case is a thread for another day.)
“cifus” stands for Committee for Foreign Investment in the United States.

Was Strzok’s question for “Dina” related to Kushner’s Chinese business dealings?
May 11, 2017 - Meeting with Deputy AG Rod Rosentein about “coordinating investigation.”

Burr “happy.” Warner pushing for Special Counsel.
May 12, 2017 - I believe “ica” probably stands for Intelligence Community Assessment.
May 15, 2017 - I suspect Strzok texts here either “charging Kushner” or “special counsel.”

Perhaps someone with graphic skills can see what are some options that may fit.
May 15, 2017 - “Carl” is Carl Ghattas, the executive assistant director of the National Security Branch.

IMO Strzok is saying there's concern about the appearance of charging a member of POTUS' family, but after Comey was fired that is no longer a concern.
May 16, 2017 - Senators Warner and Burr affirm the findings of the ICA that Russia meddled in the 2016 Presidential election.

edition.cnn.com/2018/05/16/pol…
May 16, 2017 - Page and Strzok appear to be talking about Rod Rosenstein and his need to atone for recommendation that Comey be fired.
May 17, 2017 - Rod Rosenstein appoints Robert Mueller special counsel.
What strikes me about this timeline is the hypocrisy of the urgent need to investigate Kushner’s financial ties to China; meanwhile, for 20 years, a Chinese spy worked in the office of the former Ranking Democratic Member of the Senate Intel Committee, Diane Feinstein.
Excellent thread by @almostjingo on Mark Warner’s machinations to get Mike Flynn two months earlier.

I believe Flynn and Kushner were The Swamp's primary targets (excluding POTUS, of course).

One other observation: our nation is fortunate that Senator Richard Burr will not be seeking re-election.

THE TROUBLING CASE OF GEORGE NADER

Part II

💸 💲 🥂 💲 💰 💲 💵 💲 Image

On a luxurious yacht in the Red Sea in 2015, George Nader mingled with Gulf and Middle Eastern elite, from the crown princes of the UAE and Saudi Arabia to the kings of Bahrain and Jordan and Egypt's president.
/3

The discussion on the yacht centered on creating a new, more aggressive joint organization to counter the increasing influence of Iran and Turkey in the region. Nader agreed to take on a mission to secretly influence the next U.S. president to support their aims.

THE TROUBLING CASE OF GEORGE NADER: THE CONVICTED PEDOPHILE WHO MOVED IN POWERFUL CIRCLES

PART I Image
/2

Objectivity is disregarded by many journalists today. News coverage of individuals is shaped by partisan narratives. If someone does not fit a desired narrative, their story receives little attention, regardless of significance.
/3

Thus, the story of George Nader has largely faded from public attention, despite his long history of involvement in high-stakes diplomatic affairs.

I've compiled the available information, and here's his story. No holds barred.

FOUL WATERS

A deep dive into the sordid world of yachting--rich elites, glamorous models, lavish vessels, and political intrigue.

Batten down the hatches 🧵

When you hear the word “yachting,” perhaps you imagine leisurely sailing off the coast of California while listening to the soothing sounds of Loggins and Messina. Image

That is definitely NOT the type of yachting we’ll be discussing in this thread.

The most succinct definition of “yachting” I’ve come across is this one. Image

THE MCCAIN REPUBLICANS: THE FINAL CHAPTER

What did they know and when did they know it?

Part III Image
2. Part II of this series is over 4 years old. I gave up on the series when the reality that we'll never "get to the bottom" of Russiagate drained all my motivation.
3. There is too much Republican involvement in the origins of Russiagate that I'm not sure even Donald Trump himself wants to reveal the entire truth. At this point, why would it benefit him to expose any possible Republican role in pushing the hoax?

WAR & BLACKMAIL

The McCain Republicans and the Lewinsky Scandal

a thread 🧵 Image
The genesis of this thread is an email I came across from a doc dump from the Clinton Library. It's been out there for nearly 10 years, but I've never seen it before. It sent me down a rabbit hole where I encountered a recurring cast of characters in DC scandals.

Read carefully Image
Starting with the creator of the email, Sidney Blumenthal. Blumenthal may be less famous than his son, Max, these days, but he's a prominent figure in Clinton circles. His official title was "Assistant to the President" when he was brought into the White House in 1997. Image

Nikki Haley tweeted variations this all day long yesterday. It's a clear example of her strong adherence to neoconservatism.

Let me explain.
Leo Strauss, the academic godfather of the neocons, was a big fan of the TV show Gunsmoke because it showed the conflict between good and evil in a way that would be immediately intelligible to everyone. Sheriff Matt Dillon wore the white hat; the bad guy wore the black hat.
Strauss believed that societies needed powerful myths and stories, like the hero defeating bad guys on Gunsmoke, to inspire people and give them a sense of moral clarity.

Yes, if you want society to act, it's a powerful way to move people.

However, there are many problems.
