"The New Knowledge report gives particular attention to the Russians’ focus on African-Americans, which is evident to anyone who examines collections of their memes and messages."

Reza Zarrab's Iranian partner:

Billionaire [Babak Zanjani] To Be Hanged After Government Collects Its Money

en.radiofarda.com/a/iran-billion…
This piece speculates that Reza Zarrab opted to come to Miami to be arrested, rather than continue to "try his luck" with Turkey and Iran:

cbc.ca/news/world/who…
As noted by @JamesFourM Reza Zarrab is a "Turkey-based businessman. He has quadruple Iranian, Azerbaijani, Turkish and Macedonian citizenship."

It's Wiki, yet there is a lot of detail here. For ex: Erdogan tried to swap him for Brunson, etc:

@ABEAUBE MS Gov is very chummy with a billionaire named Lord Michael Ashcroft. He’s UK tax-dodging whale who does polling. He claims domicile in Belize to avoid taxes. Ashcroft is involved in #TrumpRussia #Brexit conspiracy. They use his polls for the targeting ops.
@ABEAUBE
@ABEAUBE "very dear friend" 😁 Yup, those who treason together, stay together!

Assange Statement On The US Election ( 8 November 2016 )

wikileaks.org/Assange-Statem…
In recent months, WikiLeaks and I personally have come under enormous pressure to stop publishing what the Clinton campaign says about itself to itself.
The pressure has come from the campaign's allies, including the Obama administration, and from liberals who are anxious about who will be elected US President.

Re: today's events:
In February, Mueller released information clarifying how and why #Putin desperately wanted to stop #HillaryClinton from being elected.

Trump, Bernie Sanders, and Jill Stein were helped by Russian election interference  vox.com/policy-and-pol…
In #Helsinki, #Putin stated directly that he worked to elect Trump. His intent was to stop #HillaryClinton. He tried to effectuate that during the primary by targeting Sanders supporters. Putin could not sway non-white voters despite his broad disinformation campaign against HRC.
But even though #Putin was unable to win the primary, he WAS able to plant the seeds of disinformation quite strongly. That included the parroting of #HillaryClinton being "corrupt," which Sanders and Trump had hammered (without evidence) repeatedly. (Details are in the report.)

Let me see if I've got this straight.

Cambridge Analytica acted as a go-between to conceal high level coordination between the Trump campaign, PACs / donors, and Russian interests, as well as a clearinghouse for stolen voter data, including that obtained by Russian hackers.
Not to mention stolen e-mails and other data from the DNC / Clinton campaign. These were weaponized by Russian elements using leaks (Guccifer / Wikileaks), social media (bots), and staged events and targeted at specific individuals in specific voting districts for maximum effect.
The Russian "active measures" campaign, funded by Putin friendly oligarchs but directed by Cambridge Analytica, ginned up fake sites and news stories, which were targeted at impressionable left and right-wing voters based on profiles made from various stolen data sets.

We know Putin helped Jill Stein. We know Putin helped Bernie Sanders. We know that most of Sander's well-known surrogates joined up with Stein.

The Jill Stein / Putin effect on the 2016 election?

Putin's biggest fan girl gets the job done.

Let's hope Jill Stein's images (still & video) are subpoenaed.

Here's the Putin fan girl sipping wine with him in her lbd & simple pearl earrings. Trump traitor Mike Flynn at the same table.
