Here is an all-informative thread about Soviet-born Rinat Akhmetshin, a “lobbyist” (spy) who lobbied ILLEGALLY for the #Russian🇷🇺lawyer/SPY, Natalya Veselnitskaya.

BOTH “lobbyists”/SPIES met with Don Jr, Kush, and Manafort, offering dirt on Clinton.🔥

Rinat was involved with Prevezon (accused of being part of a global money laundering machine), also represented by Veselnitskaya. Prosecutors say the #Russian🇷🇺government and gangsters STOLE $230 million from @Billbrowder and used Prevezon to funnel some through NYC real estate.

🔥Sergei Millian–the Belarusian former partner of @realDonaldTrump and "Source D/E" in the #SteeleDossier–offered George Papadopoulos a lucrative "job," but only if PapaD got a WH job.🤨

@RepAdamSchiff says interviewing Millian is "of deep interest."😎

washingtonpost.com/politics/serge…
Millian was the source for #Steele's allegation of a "well developed conspiracy btwn Trump and #Russian🇷🇺leadership," overseen by MANAFORT, and said Trump had relationships w/#Russian🇷🇺officials who were giving Trump damaging info on HRC👉🏼"very helpful."

Millian also was #Steele's source for the salacious allegations that #Russia🇷🇺had incriminating sexual kompromat on Trump (the "pee-pee" tape).

@GOP operative Paul Erickson—boyfriend of convicted #Russian🇷🇺spy Maria Butina — INDICTED on 11 federal counts, including wire #fraud and money laundering.

Butina cooperated in the investigation AGAINST Erickson, who PAID her college tuition.🤣

google.com/amp/s/rapidcit…
Erickson helped arrange a secret backchannel between #Russia🇷🇺and **key @GOP leaders**, including @realDonaldTrump’s campaign.🔥

How many people in the #GOP are FREAKING OUT, now that Erickson is in the barrel⁉️

🔥WHOA🔥

@SpicyFiles has been ALL OVER the Erickson-#Russian🇷🇺honeypot saga.

According to court documents, Erickson’s case involves MULTIPLE defendants, most likely #NRA officials, who traveled to #Russia🇷🇺on a #treason junket.

🔥Veselnitskaya’s seat behind @McFaul was reserved by a @GOP consultant w/close ties to the Trump campaign. Lanny Wiles (his wife chaired Trump’s campaign in FL) reserved the seat at the request of Rinat Akhmetshin w/whom he was working on SANCTIONS.🤨

washingtonpost.com/world/russian-…
“Akhmetshin continued receiving checks and wires from Wiles Consulting, a Florida-based company controlled by Lanny Wiles, a longtime Republican operator. Those payments, which began in January 2016, extended to April 2017, and totaled $72,500.”

buzzfeednews.com/article/emmalo…
Another “weird coincidence.” A @GOP operative (Wiles, whose wife CHAIRED Trump’s campaign in FL) saved a seat for the #Russian🇷🇺lawyer/SPY (Veselnitskaya) at a Congressional hearing on #sanctions, and Wiles PAID “former” #Russian spy Akhmetshin $72,500 in 2016-7.🙄

🚨💥Well well >> Russian lobbyist Rinat Akhmetshin (key figure at Trump Tower Meeting) received $500,000 in suspicious payments before AND after the June 9 meeting with Trump campaign top brass. #TrumpRussia buzzfeednews.com/article/emmalo… via @LoopEmma
You expect the Russian Trump Tower meeting attendees to be paid by Russians working against Magnitsky sanctions. But THIS >> Akhmetshin also received payments from longtime American political insiders—"one of whom is a veteran Republican operator with ties to the Trump campaign."
Bank examiners gave Akhmetshin's records to US Treasury officials, alerting them that the payments could be >> evidence of bribery or political corruption related to the Magnitsky Act<<. They noted it odd that all 5 deposits were close together—and before the Trump Tower meeting.

A Lobbyist At The Trump Tower Meeting Received Half A Million Dollars In Suspicious Payments
A bank flagged transactions, including large cash deposits, made before and after Rinat Akhmetshin attended the 2016 Trump Tower meeting.

⚠️Buzzfeed buzzfeednews.com/article/emmalo…
📌Rinat Akhmetshin, a Soviet military officer turned Washington lobbyist, deposited large, round-number amounts of cash in the months preceding and following the meeting, where Veselnitskaya offered senior Trump campaign officials dirt on Hillary Clinton.
buzzfeednews.com/article/emmalo…
📌Rinat Akhmetshin also received a large payment that bank investigators deemed suspicious from Denis Katsyv, whose company Prevezon Holdings was accused by the US Justice Department of laundering the proceeds of a $230 million Russian tax fraud.

EXCLUSIVE: A Russian-born lobbyist who attended the Trump Tower meeting received suspicious payments totaling half a million dollars before and after the encounter.

The latest from me, @JasonLeopold, @a_cormier_, @TaniaKozyreva, @jtemplon: buzzfeednews.com/article/emmalo…

#moneytrail
@JasonLeopold @a_cormier_ @TaniaKozyreva @jtemplon Some more highlights from this story, which has a lot in it:

Akhmetshin’s bank, Wells Fargo, flagged the transactions because they felt he may have violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).

Mueller’s probe has given that law new bite.

buzzfeednews.com/article/emmalo…
@JasonLeopold @a_cormier_ @TaniaKozyreva @jtemplon Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman @SenatorBurr confirmed that the committee has scrutinized Akhmetshin’s Magnitsky-related lobbying work: “Given that the June 9 meeting was about that, I think we’ve explored every possibility relative to that topic.” buzzfeednews.com/article/emmalo…

1. Thought this was gonna be a slow news day? THINK AGAIN. @AP has this exclusive on the Trump tower Russian lawyer meeting with Jr.
2. Rinat Akhmetshin and Ike Kaveladze have convened in Moscow in June 2017 (that's right, 5 months ago) to discuss the Trump tower meeting with Jr. they were at last year.
3. Congressional investigators HAVE TEXT MESSAGE COMMS between Akhmetshin and Kaveladze. That's how the meeting was discovered.
