THREAD 1/ I think I've connected some MAJOR dots, so here's a SUPER SPACE BEANS thread on who I now believe is the foreign owned company fighting a Mueller grand jury subpoena. Please note a lot of this is speculation, and hang on to your hats.
2/ This week, the DC Circuit Court of Appeals released it's findings December 18th from the arguments heard in the December 14th super-secret court building shut down, and we got some major clues about what we only knew as a foreign owned entity. assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5677…
3/ The two major clues we got from this document are that the company has an office in the United States, and that the company does considerable business in the United States. I have been wavering back and forth between VTB and the Qatari Investment Authority (QIA)
4/ My previous guess what that this was VTB bank given all the sanctions chatter and Trump Tower Moscow, but they do not have a United States office. But QIA sure does. 9 West 57th Street in New York. And they do considerable business in the US pionline.com/article/201509…
5/ Keep in mind QIA purchased 19.5% of the Russian sale of Rosneft. And head of investments for QIA Ahmed Al-Rumaihi was at Trump Tower meeting with transition officials including Cohen and Flynn on Dec. 12, 2016 and then bragged about bribing trump officials in a court document
6/ And don't forget that the Wednesday before Christmas, a secret filing was made about Michael Cohen in a Manhattan court under seal and placed in a VAULT. That could be a total coincidence and might be about stuff outside the Mueller probe.
7/ But we also have to remember that one of the Mueller lawyers seen returning from the court December 14th to Mueller's office was Zainab Ahmad, a middle east specialist that speaks Arabic and worked on the Flynn case, and we know QIA's Al-Rumaihi met with Flynn December 2016.
8/ Just today, however, CNN reported 2 lawyers from the Alston & Bird law firm, Ted Kang & Brian Boone, are representing "the country" in the appeal. In the past, the firm has represented Deripaska and Manafort, however, my money is on QIA. That is, until I change my mind. END
UPDATE. I found out Alston & Bird have worked for Glencore which was part of the Qatar Rosneft sale.
