Federal prosecutors indict a #Russian🇷🇺woman alleged to be the chief accountant of an *ONGOING* Kremlin campaign to influence 2018 ELECTIONS in the US & EU (including troll farm Internet Research Agency) financed by "Putin's Chef," Yevgeniy Prigozhin.🤬

cnn.com/2018/10/19/pol…
One major #Russian🇷🇺social-media theme was to exploit white supremacy👉🏼trolling NFL protests against #racist policing, #immigration, the Confederate flag & “the #Charlottesville ‘Unite The Right’ rally” that killed Heather Heyer in Aug'17.

Goal: INFLAME and DIVIDE US.🤬
Pivoting off a piece by "right-wing blowhard" Michael Savage, the #Russians🇷🇺 sought to “forcefully support” Savage’s message that “any attempt to remove Trump is a direct path to **civil war** in the US."😳
If any Americans conspired with #Russia🇷🇺 to push this "civil war" narrative, they should be charged with SEDITION and TREASON.

#Sedition
#Treason

The #Russians🇷🇺also sought to smear @SenJohnMcCain ("old geezer"), @MarcoRubio ("fake conservative, #traitor to #Republican values who in his soul despises the American Constitution & civil liberties") & @SpeakerRyan ("complete & absolute nobody incapable of any decisiveness").🤨
Hey @GOP,

Are you cool with #Russia🇷🇺 **smearing** your fellow #Republicans, Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan, and the departed John McCain⁉️

Because I'm a liberal Democrat, and I definitely am NOT cool with #Russia having *any* say in our elections‼️🤬

I’ve run for Congress and worked on several of my husband’s campaigns. INTERNAL poll data are closely guarded.

Yet Trump’s highly experienced campaign chair (Manafort) willfully gave this VERY sensitive info to a #Russian🇷🇺spy (Kilimnik) with #GRU👉🏼hacked the #DNC.

@thespybrief
If the #Russians🇷🇺 stole @HillaryClinton’s voter file AND had @realDonaldTrump’s internal polling data, they would know which voters to target with specific messages.
Add in the stolen #Facebook and other data, plus Trump’s voter file, and #Russia🇷🇺and others (PsyGroup, Cambridge Analytica, etc) literally would have EVERYTHING needed to microtarget voters very specifically and highly effectively.🤨

💣BOOM💣

The Feds have emails exchanged btwn #Russian🇷🇺lawyer/spy Natalya Veselnitskaya & the #Russian🇷🇺Prosecutor General’s (“Crown Prosecutor”) office.😎

Rob Goldstone offered HRC dirt from the SAME #Russian🇷🇺Prosecutor via Veselnitskaya.

@thespybrief
documentcloud.org/documents/5677…
This SAME #Russian🇷🇺lawyer was charged today with #ObstructionOfJustice by US prosecutors in its #MoneyLaundering case against #Prevezon

Veselnitskaya also helped recruit a Swiss DOUBLE AGENT overseeing Swiss #MoneyLaundering cases of #Russian🇷🇺mobsters.

Just *days* after Trump fired @PreetBharara (led SDNY who was prosecuting #Prevezon), Trump’s DOJ abruptly settled their ROCK-SOLID $230 million #MoneyLaundering case and gave #Prevezon a sweetheart ~$6 million settlement.🙄

In emails to “former” #Russian🇷🇺spy Konstantin Kilimnik, Paul Manafort offered Oleg Deripaska “private briefings” on Trump’s campaign to “get whole.” Manafort’s Moscow contact “our friend V” now revealed as ANOTHER “former” #Russian🇷🇺spy Victor Boyarkin.🙄
mag.time.com/Eq15rGo
“Former” #Russian🇷🇺spy Boyarkin says his acquaintance with Manafort goes back to 2006, when Deripaska asked them to help Montenegro achieve independence in the Balkans.🤨

cc @thespybrief

During the 2016 campaign, Boyarkin says it fell to him to collect the $19 million debt that Manafort owed Deripaska. “I came down on him hard.”🤔

Manafort was broke, so instead of money, he offered “private briefings” to Deripaska via Boyarkin to “get whole.”🙄

1/ "This country" equals what?

A theory

🤔
2/ There is a very interesting exchange between Strzok and Page two weeks after Trump was inaugurated.

They are talking about a certain country that they both seem to care about greatly but never actually name.

Lets get to the exchange
3/This text from Page is the beginning of what we have.

We're missing some texts here because there is a 4+ hour gap before this and it's referring to a meeting not previously described.

Key line here: "the country that concerns you most (at least top two)"

Federal prosecutors indicted a Russian woman, Elena Alekseevna Khusyayno, alleged to be the chief accountant of Project Lakhta, a sprawling Kremlin campaign to influence politics in the U.S. and E.U. thedailybeast.com/the-most-shock…
Khusyayno appears to have “kept detailed financial docs” providing some of most specific evidence to date of Kremlin-tied origins of an onslaught of fake, inflammatory social posts polluting American/allied political discourse thedailybeast.com/the-most-shock…

Infamous St. Petersburg 'Troll Factory' Set on Fire

The Fontanka news website cited police as saying that an unknown suspect broke the agency’s ground-floor window and threw a Molotov cocktail inside at around 3 a.m. on Tuesday.

Thread: more analysis on the accounts Facebook took down two weeks ago, including their origins, how they interacted with Americans, and how they tried to cover their tracks.

Three posts. First one here: medium.com/dfrlab/trolltr…
We don't have 100% attribution. They hid their tracks better than the original Russian troll farm (more on that later).

Various pieces of evidence point to the probability this was the troll farm / Internet Research Agency again.

newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/07/r…
First point, and the most concrete link: FB confirmed that one of the pages, "Resisters," had an admin which was a known Russian troll farm account, for just 7 minutes.

Not conclusive on its own, but an important point.
