One way I know no one on TV knows anything about the "grand bargain" is that no one's noting—as to the extension of Gates' case—that Gates met with Saudi/Emirati emissary Nader *before* Nader was invited to Trump Tower with Zamel and Prince to offer illegal preelection assistance
2/ This despite Mueller now focusing on lines of inquiry involving Nader, Prince, Hannah, MBS, MBZ, Bannon, Dahlan, and so on, i.e., that should be telling any analyst on TV that Gates is still needed at least in *part* because of Trump-Saudi/Trump-Emirati/Trump-Israeli collusion
3/ Listen, only 20% of the story of what Trump did during the election is on TV thus far; in working on Proof of Conspiracy and relying *only* on major news sources around the world, I'm finding dozens of narratives that are harrowing and criminal and not on any TV channel at all
4/ John Hannah and Mohammed Dahlan are two of the *most* important names in the whole Trump-Russia/Trump-Saudi/Trump-Emirati/Trump-Israeli narrative—and ask yourself, how often have you heard those names on TV? Even Nader (a *star* witness) almost never has his name uttered on TV
5/ I realize it's convenient for me to be working on a sequel to Proof of Collusion and saying "guys this is huge"—so by all means feel free to disbelieve what I'm saying, as soon enough we'll *all* see and publicly how small a part of the whole narrative the current narrative is

In case you're wondering what Criminal Harassment looks and sounds like
2/ Lest you doubt:
3/ Imagine if, tomorrow, you get into a dispute with your neighbor over the boundary-line between your properties, and then, tomorrow night, you decide to mail 100,000 BRICKS to your neighbor (*100,000*).

How *quickly* do you think you'll experience contact with local police?

Not a denial, actually, from the standpoint of a defense lawyer. If Ken's quote is accurate this is *not* the same as saying "we categorically deny" or "Mr. Trump categorically denies," this is Rudy speaking for Rudy and Trump later can say he had nothing to do with Rudy's words.
2/ People forget, probably because Rudy is himself famous, that Rudy literally matters not at all in this equation and is supposed to be merely a mouthpiece for representations his client wishes to make to the public if any. And what Rudy said was NOT a representation from Trump.
3/ When journalists give the impression they're counting the minutes until Rudy denies a piece of breaking news is accurate, it gives readers the false impression that a denial from Rudy has any news value whatsoever. It does not. Only a denial from Trump would matter or be news.

Everyone realizes Trump *also* told his *son* to lie to Congress, right? I mean, nobody is doubting that, based on the evidence we have, right?
2/ Trump Jr.'s lies to Congress were... *extraordinary*... in their depth and scope. The idea he'd walk into Congressional testimony planning to lie to Congress (a federal crime) and never run it past his father first to make sure that's what Trump wanted him to do... no—he did.
3/ And note that Trump *also* issued orders to both Steve Bannon and Corey Lewandowski about how they should avoid Congressional questioning that in *each* case required the man to make false claims of "privilege" that would have led to Contempt findings with a Democratic House.

It is not lost on me that whenever I post about women raped, abused, tortured, threatened with jail for journalism, be they in the US, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Switzerland, Egypt, Philippines, I am told:
- the women are lying
- the women want attention
- the women are ugly
- I am ugly
All fucking day, the same thing just from different locations. All demanding the women & by extension I “prove” that the boy king of Saudi Arabia tortured feminists,the ruler of Dubai abducted & imprisoned his princess daughter, the thug president of Philippines bullies a journo
Sometimes it’s obvious they’re trolls, other times they are shamefully real people NOT being paid to regurgitate misogynist shit, but ALL times they are dipping into a deep well of patriarchy that demands women “prove” the very patriarchy that patriarchy insists doesn’t exist.

#Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman,suspected to have ordered murder of journalist #JamalKashoggi, launched unprecedented crackdown vs women’s rights activists in May. Those activists have been tortured & one has tried suicide 3 times google.com/amp/s/www.wash… h/t @SherifaZuhur
Some of the activists (none of whom have been formally charged or given access to lawyers) have been subjected to psychological or physical abuse while in custody, including electric shocks, sexual harassment, sleep deprivation and beatings. #Saudi
“In one reported instance, one of the activists was made to hang from the ceiling, and according to another testimony, one of the detained women was reportedly subjected to sexual harassment, by interrogators wearing face masks.” amnesty.org/en/latest/news… #Saudi

#Saudi actors who ordered #Khashoggi's death were aware he wanted his divorce paper, but hadn't anticipated his fiancee's call to Aktay which had some swift consequences. Turkish authorities searched one of the planes leaving with part of the murder team, but found nothing. /1
"Turkish intelligence agency MIT decided to review an audio-visual feed fr inside the consulate"... Grisly details ... suggest that Khashoggi was tortured then killed soon after entering the consulate" /2 cnn.com/2018/10/19/mid…
Had Hatice Cengiz not been there to call Aktay, the Turks wouldn't have suspected as soon as they did, that #Khashoggi had been killed. The info. about that clandestine AV feed was leaked over the week as the Saudis were swift to deny & slow to cooperate with the investigation./3

#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.

#Breaking badaboum...à retardement et à mystère...j'avais fait hier soir avant de prendre l'avion 2 tweets sur l'info du soir de l'enquête #Mueller qui est à mon sens l'1 des pires sorties pour #Trump. Et ce matin ils ont disparu🤔...si ce compte se pare de drapeaux russes😉...
2) Le #breaking en question du @nytimes, à mon sens désastreux pour #Trump, est que Mueller est parvenu à retourner et à faire coopérer G.Nader, conseiller spécial du prince régnant des Emirats, qui aurait acquis 1 influence énorme à la Maison Blanche. nytimes.com/2018/03/06/us/…
3) Il y a 2 infos terribles pour #Trump à propos de G.Nader. D'1 part, le procureur #Mueller l'a déjà présenté à son grand jury fédéral qui évalue les preuves de l'enquête avant toute mise en accusation. Donc, #Mueller estimait que #Nader savait des choses pour bâtir 1 accusation

New @nytimes piece captures recent wave of #Iran|ian nationalism, particularly among non-principlists (-conservatives), that seasoned analysts have been noting for some time. But there are some important caveats to consider. nytimes.com/2017/11/26/wor… 1/
Article starts w/ beheading of Mohsen Hojaji by #ISIL. Then, bizarrely, article attributes cause of nationalist wave to #Trump & #Saudi. ISIL carried out terrorist attack on #Tehran!!! It is arguably larger structural factor that triggered wave since 2014, but largely ignored! 2/
One piece of evidence given to prove #Trump & #Saudi have caused #Iran nationalist wave is popularity of #Soleimani & #Zarif. Only one problem: High favourability numbers for both predate Trump election & significantly heightened Iran-Saudi tensions iranpoll.com/publications/j… 3/
