So many interesting threads to pull on in this reporting on the Israeli think-tank that pre-gamed Russian interference for an unknown client...

Aside from the obvious, one of the most intriguing is the attorney for Wikistrat/Zamel, Marc Mukasey.

Mukasey is the son of Bush II AG Michael Mukasey, who was a player in the death of Mike Connell, SMARTech founder (the company where all GOP data found its home).

SMARTech was breached by RU agents in Fall of 2015, after this report was written.

AG Mukasey refused to act to protect Connell after Karl Rove made threats against him, after Connell was tapped to testify about election fraud that used SMARTech to skew vote totals in Ohio 2004, throwing the election to Bush.

Connell subsequently was killed in a plane crash after two or three reported attempts at sabotage on his plane (sorry, no coffee yet, more links in the moment up above.)

And random fact: former AG Mukasey also is published by Encounter Books, a publisher with ties to Marc Judge

You might remember this promotional piece Judge did for them...

Of course, Mike Mukasey's son who is the attorney for Wikistrat, not the former AG himself...

but other families with skin in this game have interesting family dynamics too, so....
