#FTR: ALL THESE STORIES HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON.

1/ Trump stands by the Saudi Crown Prince MBS who MURDERED Jamal Khashoggi, his perceived POLITICAL ENEMY, and a U.S. Resident.

And now, Trump smeared Khashoggi as an "enemy of state," without evidence.
washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/…
2/ Trump has been looking into handing over U.S. Resident Fetullah Gulen — Turkish Autocrat Erdogan's perceived POLITICAL ENEMY, who he calls a "terrorist" — to Turkey to prosecute (and likely kill) w/o evidence...

...to appease Turkey and cover for MBS.
nbcnews.com/politics/natio…
3/ In July, Trump thought it was an 'incredible offer" to hand over U.S. Resident and former U.S. Ambassador Michael McFaul — Autocrat Vladamir Putin's perceived POLITICAL ENEMY — to Russia for interrogation and potential prosecution, without evidence.
washingtonpost.com/news/morning-m…
4/ Trump has no qualms w/ Autocrats unlawfully punishing their perceived POLITICAL ENEMIES...because it's what HE wants to do.

In the Spring, Trump actually tried to order DOJ to prosecute his perceived POLITICAL ENEMIES, James Comey and Hillary Clinton.

nytimes.com/2018/11/20/us/…
#PS: We shouldn’t expect Trump has given up on his efforts to prosecute his perceived political enemies.

In fact, he just unconstitutionally installed Whitaker, an acting-attorney general who has advocated prosecuting Hillary Clinton.

#REDALERT: Treasury Dept. to LIFT SANCTIONS on Oleg Deripaska's companies.

Treasury's OFAC has notified Congress it intends to terminate sanctions on Deripaska's companies — the oligarch close to Putin w/ ties to Manafort and the Mueller Investigation.

#REDFLAG: As predicted earlier in this thread...

Deripaska's companies only qualified for sanctions relief assessment BECAUSE Deripaska "stepped down."

But OBVIOUSLY Deripaska installed board members that reported directly to him.

So why lift sanctions?
#FLAG: The answer to that question is Treasury is being WILLFULLY IGNORANT.

They've directed Deripaska's companies to "undertake significant
restructuring and corporate governance," determine why the moles were installed, and reduce his influence.

LOL.

#BREAKING: Maria Butina PLEADS GUILTY to acting as an agent of the Kremlin — agreeing to cooperate w/ Federal Prosecutors.

The "Russian gun-rights activist" is the first Russian national convicted for conspiring to influence U.S. Policy.

She infiltrated the NRA and GOP in 2016.
#RELATED: Russia, Dark Money, the NRA, and the 2016 election.

Thankfully, the Senate just overturned the Trump administration rule change that would've allowed orgs like the NRA to keep donors secret...

...a rule changed the same day Butina was charged.
#RELATED: The wife of a former NRA president offered Maria Butina 1 million dollars to secure tons of Russian jet fuel for an American middleman. The scheme would've violated sanctions.

Clearly, those around the NRA knew Butina wasn't just an "activist."

#KEYTHOUGHTS: Some things to note on Michael Cohen's guilty plea today for lying to Congress about his efforts to negotiate a Trump Tower Moscow deal w/ Russia during 2016.

1/ It's no coincidence that this comes TWO DAYS before Trump's next scheduled meeting w/ Putin at the G20.
2/ This new move by Mueller is perfectly-orchestrated. This isn't only about lying to Congress and cooperation...

It directly IMPLICATES Trump himself...and his children.

According to Cohen, he gave each of them regular briefings throughout the process.
3/ Cohen admits (with CORROBORATION thru documentary evidence seized by the FBI and Mueller) that Moscow Project negotiations lasted thru JUNE 2016.

That's months after the timeline Trump, Cohen, and those around them, have claimed.

Trump and @IvankaTrump met with murderer Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman on the sidelines of a leaders meeting at the G20 summit.

They knew.

They knew he ordered that a Washington Post Journalist be dismembered with a saw while he was still alive
The world will NEVER forget that @IvankaTrump and Kushner have a continuing relationship with a brutal murderer

Never let them back into society.

#Khashoggi was dismembered will still alive. Trump refuses to listen to the gruesome audio

These people are monsters
Saudi crown prince bragged that Jared Kushner gave him CIA intelligence about other Saudis saying 'here are your enemies' days before 'corruption crackdown' which led to torture & death

Saudis gave @IvankaTrump 100 million for her "women's power iniative"

Blood on their hands

*Deep breaths*

It’s easy to get lost in the grief and outrage over Trump siding Saudi regime that thinks nothing of butchering peaceful journalists in consulates.

But hope is not all lost. Congress must act, and the American people can still help.

Here’s a thread #Khashoggi
1. Trump has basically chosen to ignore the CIA’s “high confidence” conclusion that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered #Khashoggi’s murder.

As @ThePlumLineGS and @paulwaldman1 note, Dem oversight can help flesh out the CIA’s conclusions

wapo.st/2qXD8oE
2) the Former CIA chief, @JohnBrennan has said that Congress should move to declassify the CIA intelligence on the Saudis, Mohammed bin Salman, and the #Khashoggi murder.

Congress must move in that direction.

Prince Dopey is behind the entrapment and murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

Why Crown Prince Bin Salman ever let Prince Dopey and his faction walk at the height of the coup which put him (Bin Salman) in power is baffling.

Think about all attacks past 18 months Dopey’s been tied to.
This whole thing is a calculated, well thought out, well executed set-up. The end goal is to force @realDonaldTrump to denounce Crown Prince Bin Salman (a reformist), which opens the door for Dopey and his faction to depose Bin Salman and regain power for old guard.
If this were to happen, Saudi Arabia would fall back into the hands of the old guard which carried out 9/11 with Mossad, MI6 and U.S. intel operatives aligned to HW/Cheney old guard (their “inner circle”).

#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.
