We know Steele wrote that the Kremlin nixed Romney as Secretary of State

We know that Butina and Torshin discussed SOS contenders

We know Manafort was in contact with Kilimnik (Russian intel) and Deripaska

We now know that Manafort advised Trump transition on nominations
Circumstantial evidence very strongly points to Steele have credibility with his report.

Torshin/Butina -> Erickson -> Trump
Deripaska -> Manafort (via Kilimnik)-> Trump
Two possible routes for the Kremlin to pass info to the Trump transition regarding cabinet appointments.

BREAKING: Andrey Rozov, the CEO of the Trump Tower Moscow developer, turned an $8M profit on a NY real estate transaction and was represented by Felix Sater. The transaction happened in Dec. 2015, in the MIDST of Trump Tower Moscow talks medium.com/@ScottMStedman…
TIMELINE:

-June 2014 Rozov agrees to purchase building, Agalarov's tax guy Ilya Bykov represents him. (Sale goes thru in Dec 2014).
-Sept 2015 Rozov sells the building to an LLC for $8M profit, Sater represents him. (Sale goes thru in Dec 2015).
I looked into this sale months ago (after @WendySiegelman wrote an incredible article about it here: medium.com/@wsiegelman/wh…). We didn't know who the buyer was. We now know it was Andrey Rozov.

There is zero evidence that the Trump Org was actively negotiating/discussing/planning a Trump Moscow with the Agalarovs during the campaign.
The only deal we know that was actually being discussed was with Rozov. One Emin interview in 2017 doesn't = proof of negotiating
People are missing the last part of this sentence.

Roger Stone says on Instagram that Jerome Corsi has told Mueller the following:

-Corsi told Stone that John Podesta’s emails were stolen
-Stone knew about the Access Hollywood tape in advance and told Corsi to “do something about it”
-The memo that Corsi wrote about the Podesta’s business dealings in Russia was a cover up.
-Corsi’s InfoWars job was a hush money agreement.
Of course this comes from Roger Stone so take it with a huge grain of salt - but he clearly believes that Corsi has flipped on him and is cooperating with Mueller.

Manafort and Veselnitskaya big-picture thread:
I think people are overrating the revelation that Manafort shared polling data with Russians...
But underrating the revelation that Manafort was working on "Ukraine peace plan" (i.e., sanctions relief) and links to Veselnitskaya. 1/
2/ Here's a version of the Manafort filing highlights slip-ups. We learn that Mueller has evidence that
A) Manafort shared polling data with Kilimnik (Russian agent)
B) Manafort discussed "Ukraine peace plan" with Kilimnik
*while* he was campaign manager.
documentcloud.org/documents/5677…
3/ Manafort sharing polling data with Kilimnik (and thus with Deripaska) in spring/summer 2016 doesn't look good, but by itself, I don't think it moves the needle much. Seems plausible that Manafort was just showing off his own usefulness by showing Trump had a chance to win.

Spetsnaz bikers & professional politicians & security services behind them. Bonus: #Trump at a calligraphy museum, a chainsaw, Cristian Zionists, Russian Orthodox bikers, Chekh German shepherds, Miami birthtourism, a plane on the North Pole, and a bar called Suck Bang Blow...👇.
1. The Kremlin uses Russian Orthodox bikers also known as “Putin’s bikers” as para-military pro-Putin forces domestically and internationally since at least 2012.

Maria Butina was likely in contact with Russian Intelligence Services [FSB] throughout her stay in the US. FBI surveillance observed her in the company of a diplomat suspected of being a Russian intelligence officer for several weeks in Mar 2018.
#Maddow assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4609…
Prosecutors: Russian agent Maria Butina tried to trade sex for influence, "offering an individual other than US Person 1 [@GOP operative Paul Erickson] sex in exchange for a position within a special interest organization." #HONEYPOT
by @Tom_Winter #Maddow nbcnews.to/2Lqlu9f
In addition to her ties to the Russian govt & intelligence services, Maria Butina's financier is a Russian oligarch [other than Torshin] with deep ties to Putin, whom Butina refers to as her "funder" – so Butina is linked to @GOP, Trump campaign AND Putin.

Another smart comment by @AshaRangappa_ - as she points out, Trump was told in "late July or August 2016" the Russians would try to penetrate his campaign.

Why then? What prompted that warning?

Well, in July 2016, @CarterWPage took a little trip to Moscow.
The #Steele dossier points out that on his trip to Moscow, Page met with Russian govt officials Sechin and Diveykin. The latter was in charge of hacking foreign elections. That was Diveykin's actual job for @PutinRF. archive.org/stream/TheStee…
One of my earliest Trump Russia discoveries, which I passed to USIC, was this tweet. It not only predicts what Trump did at the next rally, it was sent WHILE Page was in Moscow - meeting Diveykin, in charge of hacking against @HillaryClinton. archive.is/x8VnM

THREAD: here’s a breakdown of the JUICY details in the sentencing memo filed by lawyers for Alex van der Zwaan (“v.d.Swamp”), the son-in-law of #Russian🇷🇺oligarch, German Khan (AlfaGroup/AlfaBank co-founder)‼️1/

#TrumpRussia

Link to court document👉🏼courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
In this thread, we will focus on what v.d.Swamp said about his case, specifically what info he tried to COVER UP.🤨

For details on the CRIMES that convicted felon v.d.Swamp committed, see👇🏼this thread👇🏼on Mueller’s sentencing memo.😎 2/

Of course, van der Zwaan’s attorneys try to spin a sob story about how v.d.Swamp’s “world has collapsed” and “his career has been destroyed.”🙄

Well, yeah. That’s what happens when you LIE to the Feds and DESTROY EVIDENCE‼️3/
