BREAKING NEWS: Saudi Arabia to Call Premeditated Kidnapping, Murder, and Dismemberment of Washington Post Journalist (Banned From Saudi Media in December 2016 for Criticizing Then President-Elect Trump) An Interrogation Gone Wrong
2/ I'll now interpret this follow-up for you: Saudi Royal Family to Disavow and Execute the Trained Killers Who They Directly Ordered to Kidnap, Murder, and Dismember the Washington Post Journalist Who Displeased Trump and Kushner Pal Mohammed Bin Salman (the Saudi Crown Prince)
3/ Every Saudi expert questioned on the topic has said that absolutely *no* kidnapping and murder of a Western-dwelling journalist could *possibly* have occurred without the approval of the Saudi royal family—this is an absolute monarchy in which disloyalty typically means death.

*MEDIA'S AMAZING MANEUVER*

1) falsely requiring a single Hollywood-style "smoking gun" on collusion
2) reporting breathlessly on a revelation anyone in Hollywood would call a smoking gun (Manafort's delivery of data to the Kremlin)
3) pretending we're still looking for collusion
2/ I mean wow, it's almost like Donald Trump calls media his greatest enemy when it's in fact a stalwart ally, and media claims to be looking as hard as it can for collusion when in fact it just wants to keep us *watching* its "search" for collusion as America goes down the drain
3/ And somehow it's now been a *year* I've been trying to call media's attention to a January '18 NBC report saying Trump thinks Manafort could sink him, which any attorney or journalist would consider key evidence Trump in fact *did* know what Manafort was up to with the Kremlin

NOTE: Today's "failed" Manafort redactions (including revelations that Manafort secretly negotiated on Ukraine with a Kremlin spy) put the thread below in an *entirely* new light. If you didn't read it when I posted it a few days ago, I'd strongly suggest taking a look at it now.
2/ Those who follow my feed regularly know my name-spelling game is usually pretty tight; I'm good at avoiding typos. In this case, I want to note the obvious: that having correctly spelled Konstantin Kilimnik's name a million times in my book and elsewhere, I misspelled it here.
PS/ I put "failed" in quotes here not to suggest that Manafort's attorneys were deliberately incompetent, but just as a way of explaining to those who don't know the whole story that there were redactions that were done improperly and therefore failed to redact critical material.

(THREAD) A couple days ago, MSNBC's @maddow presented compelling preliminary evidence that Trump gets intelligence and propaganda from Kremlin sources. Tonight I'll add to her report in a significant way by discussing the meeting pictured below. I hope you'll read on and retweet.
1/ VANITY FAIR has credited this feed with being the first to recognize the significance of the March 31, 2016 meeting Trump convened—at the Trump International Hotel DC—of his "National Security Advisory Committee." I can tell you @NatashaBertrand deserves a lot of credit, too.
2/ It was a single line from an article (below) Bertrand published on March 3, 2017 that caused me to spend hundreds of tweets dissecting all aspects of a meeting media had previously thought unimportant.

It turns out it could be more key than I realized. businessinsider.com/jd-gordon-trum…

#BREAKING The Saudi government is deporting hundreds of #Rohingya refugees to Bangladesh.

Here's a video sent to me by an inmate in Shumaisi showing Rohingya being lined up, handcuffed, and prepared for deportation.
Voice notes from Rohingya inside Saudi Arabia tell me that Saudi prison guards rounded up loads of Rohingya in the middle of the night, and told them to get ready for Bangladesh.
Some of these Rohingya men, women, and children, have been inside Shumaisi, a Saudi detention centre, for the last five to six years.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.
