Police want to question 'king of diamonds' Lev Leviev in massive smuggling case - two relatives and four employees were detained Monday for alleged crimes related to smuggling of up to $81 million of diamonds with Leviev diamond company, LLD

Here's a brief piece I wrote on financing related to real estate deal Kushner did with Lev Leviev in 2015 - federal prosecutors were looking at the $285 million loan Deutsche Bank made to Kushner a month prior to the election to refinance the deal

In July 2017 I tweeted about how reportedly money laundered in the case Magnitsky had exposed was invested in Lev Leviev's AFI properties in Europe (the Netherlands) and in NYC
Rotem Rosen - who previously ran Lev Leviev's US business for AFI (Africa Israel Investments Ltd) - was a partner in Trump Soho and was married at Mar-a-Lago and attended the Miss Universe contest in Moscow with Trump

Manafort may have shared US campaign polling data w/Kilimnik

Manafort filing is not properly redacted & one section mentions:

"the Government’s allegation that Mr. Manafort lied about sharing polling data with Mr. Kilimnik related to the 2016 presidential campaign."
Kilimnik not only worked with Manafort, he also formed a company in 2015 with Sam Patten, who was a contractor for Cambridge Analytica

There's no evidence Kilimnik worked with Cambridge Analytica, but why would Kilimnik review US election polling data?...
Another redacted section of the filing notes "Manafort “conceded” that he discussed or may have discussed a Ukraine peace plan with Mr. Kilimnik on more than one occasion"

Russiagate skeptics are tweeting about how Mueller's indictment doesn't include firm evidence that the hackers were indeed GRU.

Honest question for lawyers: Is it customary for an indictment document to lay out all specific evidence (& sources) for alleged crimes?
I truly don't know the answer to this. But the idea that an indictment needs to lay out all of its methods before a trial or negotiations seems odd.

A thread.
This is going to take a lot of explaining, because what I do is research things rather than post in all-caps about Evil China to rake in the Twitter points. Please bear with me.
First, a (semi-) brief primer on Chinese ethnic policy. China is far more diverse than most in the West think. Officially, there are 55 recognized ethnic minority groups in China, and the PRC constitution lays out their rights.
