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.

May 7, 2017 - The following day New York Times published another article on the Kushner family and China.

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.

@codyave

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.

@almostjingo

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.

TRUMP/RUSSIA COLLUSION HAS BEEN PROVEN TO BE A HOAX.... AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED

Watch this video, all of it.

(note the date)

2\

So in this video from April 2016, we hear words that have become ubiquitous over the last 5 years: "Russian aggression," "disinformation" and, of course, "Ukraine."

3\

This event was hosted by the Institute of World Politics.

The school was founded in 1990 by Jon Lenczowski (the man on the right in the video).

He was Director of European and Soviet Affairs on the National Security Council for 4 years in the Reagan White House.

The video of Ted Cruz accusing Donald Trump of doing business with the mafia I posted yesterday was from Feb 28, 2016.

The very same day that political operatives Michael and Barbara Ledeen officially joined the Cruz campaign. 🤨

Cruz allowed Mueller/Weissmann to accuse the Trump campaign of trying to obtain Hillary's emails when it was a member of his campaign leading the effort.

Cruz could have taken some of the heat off of President Trump by admitting this, but he chose not to.

What interested me the most was his possible involvement with Operation Chaos.

As a student at Oxford, Clinton was roommates with the future president of the Brookings Institution, Strobe Talbott.

I haven't seen much discussion of the parts of the Shearer dossier that are publicly available.

I suspect because they are extremely vulgar. 😳

Here are my impressions:

https://twitter.com/SeekerOTL/status/1468969625262051328

2\

The accusations are so lurid and so over the top that they feel off to me.

It reads as if it was constructed in response or in conjunction with the release of the Access Hollywood tape, the infamous recording of a lewd conversation between Donald Trump and a reporter.

3\

Shearer's memo emphasizes Trump's mistreatment of women.

"This guy has mental issues with women."

"He is a psychopath. He likes to make the women scream."

Someone in a DM pointed out to me an interesting discrepancy between the Simpson/Steele version of the timeline and the Danchenko indictment.

So I did some digging and here's what I found.

2\

According to Glenn Simpson's & Peter Fritsch's book, Crime in Progress, Marc Elias first met with them on April 20, 2016, the day after Donald Trump won the New York primary.

He loved their pitch and agreed to contract with them, but formalizing the agreement took "weeks."

3\

Next: "By the time Fusion decided to turn to Christopher Steele in May 2016, the firm had amassed a mountain of research about Trump's business past..."
