And do we want foreign defense contractors shrouded in shell companies working for political campaigns?
Did you know PSY Group had an MoU with Cambridge Analytica? That detail isn’t mentioned in this breaking story. thedailybeast.com/rick-gates-tel…
PSY Group could be key to the Mueller investigation, perhaps moreso than CA/SCL
emptywheel.net/2018/10/10/the…
PSY Group birds of a feather with Cambridge Analytica in that we know “side ops” were almost the point and US law firms advised them that doing diabolical, nefarious troll factory work was legal. Covington & Burling/Bracewell & Giuliani both gave PSY/CA green light on FECA risks.
Imagine working at Covington & Burling and telling your client that this is legal. It may very well be. First amendment, baby. Money is speech. Surveillance is speech. Deception is speech. We are very screwed.

(MEGA-THREAD) A *major* mystery in the Trump-Russia investigation—what type of illegal election assistance Israeli intel-affiliated entities offered the Trump campaign after Trump Jr. accepted their help in August 2016—may have just been solved. I hope you'll read on and retweet.
1/ We know from the NEW YORK TIMES that on August 3, 2016, an emissary from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates—George Nader—offered the Trump campaign illegal election assistance at Trump Tower, and that Don Jr. said "yes" to the two nations' offer. nytimes.com/2018/05/19/us/…
2/ We also know that Joel Zamel—an Australia-born Israeli businessman who runs two "business intelligence outfits"—was also at the meetup, which Nader and Trump shadow national security adviser Erik Prince had set up. We know Zamel offered his assistance too—and Don Jr. said yes.

💥Trump aide Rick Gates requested three proposals from Israeli intelligence firm Psy-Group to create fake online identities, to use social media manipulation & to gather intelligence, "Project Rome" used code names:

Trump: Lion
Clinton: Forest
Cruz: Bear

nytimes.com/2018/10/08/us/…
Gates heard about Psy-Group’s work at a March 2016 mtg w/George Birnbaum a Republican consultant with close ties to Israeli govt officials - Birnbaum was a protégé of Republican operative Arthur Finkelstein - In 1996 they worked on Netanyahu’s campaign
nytimes.com/2018/10/08/us/…
While the article says Zamel denies presenting the proposals or that they were pursued, there's still the matter of $2 million George Nader - who Erik Prince introduced to Don Jr. in 2016 - reportedly paid Psy-Group after the election

💣🔥💥🍿🐾#SamPatten is a starter on this menu. A thread on #Trump #Putin #Collusion: from pop-singers in Taj Mahal to weapons in Syria, plus what Satan, black cats, soccer, Patriarchs & judo wrestling have in common. Tarantino, it is not. Oh, plus #CambridgeAnalytica. 👇
1. #SamPatten admitted failing to register in the U.S. as a foreign agent for his work lobbying on behalf of a Ukrainian political party. Breaking. 👇
2. "The nature of his cooperation isn’t clear." (Yes, but the connections are telling.👇 ) . Patten worked with Manafort and & on microtargeting operations with Cambridge Analytica.
