@PortlusGlam (2/17) "The Ukraine-to-Russia backchannel was falling apart. It was February 2017, and the public had just begun to reel from the revelation that...Michael Flynn was caught on intercepts negotiating sanctions with a Russian official."
medium.com/@PortlusGlam/r…
medium.com/@PortlusGlam/r…
@PortlusGlam "Despite DOJ warnings that the former-DNI head was likely compromised, the White House was revealed to have done nothing to act. And worst of all for the Trump Administration, the existence of a secret “Peace Plan” for Crimea had been leaked . . ."
@PortlusGlam "...outing the parties involved — Felix Sater, Michael Cohen, and Ukrainian politician Andrei Artemenko. A new “phone line” was needed.
Enter Rudy Giuliani."
Enter Rudy Giuliani."
@PortlusGlam (1/17): "Giuliani had been named President Trump’s “informal” Cybersecurity Advisor in January 2017. The role was somewhat of a concession after Giuliani withdrew his name from consideration for Secretary of State amid reports of his foreign conflicts-of-interest."
@PortlusGlam "In interviews, Giuliani claimed he would advise Trump on private sector solutions to enhance the country’s cyber defenses. In reality, Giuliani’s role was meant to facilitate the admin’s covert domestic cyber operations and to reorganize and privatize U.S. cybersecurity."
@PortlusGlam (4/17) "Guiliani was now being asked to do something else. Sometime between February and April 2017, Guiliani entered into a “cybersecurity contract” with the city of Kharkiv, Ukraine."
📌
📌
@PortlusGlam (6/17) By June, he had also landed a “cybersecurity contract” with the city of Kiev. Throughout 2017 and 2018, Giuliani and his team traveled back and forth to Ukraine as related developments in US foreign policy, US cyber policy, and the Special Counsel investigation unfolded."
@PortlusGlam "The new backchannel arrangement was facilitated by Russian-Ukrainian-linked firm Tri-Global Strategic Ventures (TGSV). Giuliani first met Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov when he partnered with TGSV for a project in 2004."
📌🙄
📌🙄
@PortlusGlam (4/17): "By late April of 2017, the deal between Giuliani’s private security firm Giuliani Security and Safety LLC (GSS) and Mayor of Kharkiv Gennadiy Kernes had kicked off...."
@PortlusGlam Showing you who Gennadiy Kernes, is:
"...Kernes had been on trial...on charges of KIDNAPPING, TORTURING and THREATENING... MURDER of EuroMaidan...activists. In an unprecedented decision [the court], closed the case...w/o any kind of verdict/conclusion."

kyivpost.com/ukraine-politi…
@PortlusGlam So Rudy Giuliani went to meet with the Mayor of Kharkiv (Gennady Kernes), who was on trial for Kidnapping, torturing and threatening Euromaidan activists.
Rudy thought this was a great guy to do a "cyber security contract" with.
OK.

OK.
@PortlusGlam Gennady Kernes, the Mayor of Kharkiv - Rudy's new "cyber client" - he's also associate of Trump's Ukraine #Mob oligarch friend, Pavel Fuchs:
"The current Mayor, Gennady Kernes, regularly appears in Fuchs family photos on social media."

Pavel Fuchs - he captures legit companies, and turns them into laundering ops.
He's also Party of Regions, which will take you to Manafort and Sam Patten. Oops.

Just showing you the "pool" in which Rudy (as the hand of Trump), is swimming in, in Ukraine. Back to the article...
(5/6/17 & 5/7/17) "As Giuliani’s team was on the ground in Kharkiv for over A ONE WEEK visit, Trump was hunkered down at Bedminster...May 6 and 7 w/son-in-law Jared Kushner, daughter Ivanka Trump, and...Stephen Miller."
Remember I said they do the dirty at Bedminster? Yup.

(5/9/17) "...the entire weekend was consumed by the group’s “plotting” to fire...Comey. It would also later be revealed...Bedminster...was fitted w/a “TINFOIL ROOM”. Two days later, on May 9, Comey learned that he had been fired via a cable news crawl while giving a talk in L.A."
(5/3/17-5/10/17) This is bananas when you go back and see the TL:
Over this same week-long period, travel plans for meetings at the WH where being arranged w/Russian FM...Lavrov, Russian Ambassador...Kislyak, Ukranian FM Pavlo Klimkin, and Cybersecurity Advisor Rudy Giuliani."

I use 5/3/17 above, as that was the first day Rudy was reported in Kharkiv. So that's a date I'm pulling out, not from the author's article.
https://twitter.com/MsMariaT/status/1084510593325838336
(5/3/17) Interesting that Giuliani ran his butt to Kharkiv the day that Comey testifies to Judiciary, no?
https://twitter.com/MsMariaT/status/1084511466152062976
Giuliani arrives in Kharkiv Ukraine, 5/3/17:

Trump, Russian FM Lavrov, Ukrainian FM Klimkin, in the Oval, 5/10/17:
Does Klimkin look happy? Dunno. (Look at the placement of the hands on the desk):

"This can be inferred by the fact that all three [Lavrov, Klimkin, Giuliani] were in DC on 5/9/17 and attended WH meetings the following day, 5/10/17. Giuliani...was spotted on an Amtrak...and photographed later that night alongside Posobiec’s wife at the Trump Int'l Hotel."
Link to WaPo article confirming the above:
"Giuliani was "posing for selfies at the bar the night Trump fired FBI Director James B. Comey" which was 5/9/17.

Barf. Rudy Giuliani and one of the many Putin honeypots running around DC 😩 5/9/17 (h/t@@PortlusGlam) 
"It is unknown whether Giuliani and Lavrov, who had an existing relationship via TGSV, met/communicated the night of 5/9/17. However, Giuliani’s firm did seem to signal that the deal was a go. An announcement..was posted on his security co website alongside pics of their meeting"
The events of the day following Comey’s firing, 5/10/17, are now the subj of intense scrutiny by Mueller...Trump infamously hosted FM Lavrov and Amb Kislyak in the Oval, handing over top-secret intel...Giuliani & Ukraine’s involvement in these events has never been reported."
"Ukrainian FM Klimkin was at the WH to meet VP Pence the same day the Russians and Giuliani were there. Klimkin was then escorted by Pence to the Oval...where he stood for a photo op alongside a seated Trump. In Ukraine... " 🧐
"...Andrei Artemenko reportedly “caused a spectacle” over the photo, alleging Poroshenko had paid Trump a $400K bribe. A year later, that bribe would be reported by Paul Wood, whose single Ukrainian intel source alleged the bribe had been paid to Cohen."
BOOM. 😁
BOOM. 😁
Meeting occurred at WH, 6/17: "The task was given to a former aide, who asked a loyal Ukrainian MP for help.
He in turn used personal contacts in a Jewish charity in NY state, Chabad of Port Washington. This eventually led to...Cohen....Cohen was paid $400K"

Here's a THREAD on the reporting of the $400K payment to Michael Cohen. (In that thread, the dollar amount jumped as high as $600K):

The hubris. The arrogance. They out themselves because they can't stay off social media.
February is gonna be amazing.

"The following day, 5/11/17, Trump tweeted a side-by-side image of him w/both Lavrov and FM Klimkin. He included the msg “Let’s make peace!”. Also that day, then-Homeland Sec Adv Tom Bossert announced the admin's first EO on Cybersecurity. During the press conf..."
BONKERS...
BONKERS...
"...Bossert made a point of thanking Rudy Giuliani for his contribution to the new policy.
Negotiations were on.
Three weeks after Comey’s firing, Giuliani traveled to Kiev in 6/17."
WHY didn't MSM listen? Many people pointed out Rudy was a cutout:

"Trump’s Cybersec Adv gave a talk on “Global Challenges, the...US and...Ukraine” at the Victor Pinchuk Foundation (VPF) on 6/7/17. Pinchuk is reportedly under investigation by Mueller for a $150K donation to Trump Org in 2015."

Fast forward to 11/1/18 and Trump's friend Pinchuk is whacked w/sanctions from the Russian gov't. As are 321 other individuals along with 68 companies, including Gazprom’s former partner Naftogaz and its CEO Andrei Kobolev. It’s collateral damage, really...."
"As the U.S. prepares for more sanctions against Russian banks and maybe even banning investing in Russian sovereign bonds, the Russians seem to have preempted them and taken it out on Ukraine."
Putin penalizing some people who played in Trump's sandbox? 😁

Back to Rudy's speech at Pinchuk's forum, 6/7/17:
"...Giuliani rep'd himself as an advisor to [Trump]. 📌
According to VPF’s blog, Giuliani also met with...in Kiev...Poroshenko, FM Klimkin, and Kiev Mayor...Vitaliy Klitschko, w/whom he kicked off a separate “cybersec contract.”

If a housewife from Orange County can dig this crap out, imagine what Bob Mueller has. 😁
Rudy making a contract w/Klitschko, another one of Sam Patten's client. Whoops.
The premise of this piece is holding up nicely. Rudy's a cutout, b/c Manafort out.

"As Giuliani’s work w/Ukraine continued through 2017 and 2018, two alarming timelines emerged. First, on the cybersec track, major events relating to US domestic and foreign policy unfolded alongside GSS’s travel to Ukraine...."
"This included Trump’s post-G20 announcement of a “Joint Cybersecurity Task Force” and the State Dept elimination of their Office for Cyber Issues in 7/17."
Where gonna do the cybers and the internets with Rudy and Putin y'all!
Utterly. Freakin' Bananas.

Putin wanted to help us with the Terror, too.

"On the arms deal track, negotiations between Ukraine and the US coincided w/GSS’s Ukraine visits and Spec Counsel developments...Manafort’s indictment just announced, Giuliani’s traveled to Kharkiv in 11/17 on the priv jet of Alexander Rovt...." 📌
"...Rovt is reportedly under investigation by Mueller for a post-campaign loan to Manafort."
Hold up: Rudy travelling on Alexander Rovt's jet. Guy who loaned money to Manafort. 🙄

"According to reports, the Ukrainians discontinued cooperation with Mueller’s investigation shortly thereafter [after 11/17]. Officials who were expected to meet with Mueller in November and December never showed."
"In 4/18 shortly after a delegation for Kharkiv met with Giuliani in New York City and provided tours of the state’s emergency management offices — Poroshenko confirmed the arrival of Ukraine’s Javelin missiles."
"These are but a few examples of the covert back-channel negotiations Giuliani has facilitated w/foreign govts over the past 2years. His effort to reorg/privatize U.S. cybersecurity appears to have been realized this past 11/18, as Trump signed...CISA."
