1. This secret grand jury case is possibly Mueller’s and the court documents make reference to it being a company ‘owned by Country A.’ This limits which company it might be. Vnesheconombank (VEB) is a Russian government-owned bank.

talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/appe…
As per the New York Times (2017) VEB is ‘intertwined with Russian intelligence.’

It’s also the Bank that met secretly with Kushner and helped finance Trump’s Toronto hotel.

Deutsche Bank and Alfa Bank are not state-owned. Cambridge Analytica and it’s related entities (SCL, AIQ) are located in other countries, but not state-owned.

This is also the case where the entire floor was cleared.

Or the Qatari Investment Fund:

1. Let’s see what Mnuchin is up to... Oh, he sent the market into a tailspin by calling an unnecessary emergency meeting Christmas Eve.

But there is more here than meets the eye. Let me explain.

2. Mnuchin Blames Volcker Rule for market volatility, which makes no sense, since the rule was in place during Obama and no volatilty.

The Volker rule essentially prevents banks from speculating that might be harmful to customers.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Hillary Clinton wanted to strengthen the Volker rule and was also going to propose a high-frequency trading tax.

Which would make Hedge Fund companies (like Mercer’s) a little miserable.

‘Trump administration is weighing Afghan troop withdrawal’

•Mattis leaving
•US pulling out of Syria

nbcnews.com/news/military/…
Putin is following the ‘Foundations of Geopolitics.’ In the book, Dugin calls for ‘strategic control of the United States’ and calls Russia the ‘staging area of an anti-American revolution.’ Dugin called for the weakening of ‘liberal values.’

For this plan to work: ‘Military operations play relatively little role. The textbook believes in a sophisticated program of subversion, destabilization, and disinformation spearheaded by the Russian special services’

‘Strange real estate deal raises specter of Putin buying Trump’

Written by Jackie Speier. She serves on the House Intelligence Committee.

sfchronicle.com/opinion/articl…
Jackie Speier went to investigate Jim Jones in Jones Town in 1978 and was shot five times. She was a staffer for congressman Leo Ryan, who was murdered next to her along with 5 other people. Two members of the team made wills before the investigation.
After being shot, Speier had to wait 22 hours before help arrived. She is a remarkable woman and... honed in on Trump. He should worry. 🙂

1. At risk of being one of many to wrongly predict what Mueller is up to, I make this observations based on circumstantial evidence in public record to report that I think something big is coming. First, past four days Trump is shuttered in the White House with just a cell phone.
2. Second, the #SCOTUS CJ Roberts ordered (we presume Mueller's Govt team) to respond to the secret Grand Jury case stay he granted by Dec. 31 at noon. They did it three days early. I think this case may be the Rosneft bribe reported in the Steele dossier. Trump knows if it is. Docket excerpt from Grand Jury case in SCOTUSExcerpt of Steele dossier
3. Finally, case I'm watching at SCOTUS that I think may remove Whitaker as AAG is teed up to discuss in conference on January 11. I have reported extensively on this including detailed analysis of legislative history. IMO #SCOTUS must declare Whitaker to be former DOJ employee. Whitaker cert petition motion to declare not AG case docket.

THREAD: A long litany of assumptions by well-meaning speculators who conduct helpful grassroots research, but are making some of the identical mistake as those who misread the Clinton email investigation made, errors born of a lack of professional experience in criminal defense.
Mistake #1: assuming the existence of FBI or DOJ activity equals a criminal investigation w/ intent to indict. This is *especially* true in political inquiries often meant to *prevent* a real criminal investigation, not conduct one. See Clinton email inquiry as classic example.
Mistake #2: assuming an indictment into a potential participant in the hoped-for investigation means there is a broad-scale investigation of everything that company did. That is actually rare. Indeed, existence of a public indictment usually means NO secret separate case to come.

Seems like a thread on recent US practice w/r/t criminal prosecution of foreign sovereign entities might be of interest. @S_R_Anders @YesMomsCan @jedshug @ZoeTillman @lrozen @nycsouthpaw @kpolantz #Mueller #subpoena 1/19
For non-lawyers: to “quash” a subpoena, the recipient (defendant or witness) must show that compliance would be “unreasonable or oppressive.” A court can hold in contempt a witness “who, without adequate cause, disobeys a subpoena.” 2/19 law.cornell.edu/rules/frcrmp/r…
Yesterday’s panel opinion upholding the subpoena and the contempt order rejected the foreign state-owned company’s arguments that it was 1) immune from US jurisdiction and 2) precluded from complying by foreign law. 3/19 lawfare.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/staging/2018/3…

🚨 - secret case was about a foreign sovereign owned company, not the president or VP
The subpoena falling into the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act’s exception for commercial activities is a notable clue as well.
Looks like it’s got a good shot to go to the Supreme Court on this point; the DC Circuit carved out a brand new ground for federal courts to exercise subject matter jurisdiction over foreign sovereigns (in criminal cases).

We see how he works if we look at how he ran his 2nd most important investigation as FBI Director. In Sept 2011, an entity began mailing anthrax through the USPS, hitting such prominent targets as NBC & Senator Daschle’s office. The terrorist attacks killed 5 & left others

hospitalized. The world panicked. Under Mueller’s management, the FBI launched an investigation lasting 10 years. They now brag about spending “hundreds of thousands of investigator hours on this case.” Let’s take a closer look at Mueller’s response to understand the context
