August 2: Gates and Manafort meet with Kilimnik, share polling data. Kilimnik is the go-between for Manafort-Deripaska.
August 3: Don Jr, Erik Prince, George Nader meet Joel Zamel to discuss a social media manipulation effort to help Trump. Deripaska previously hired Zamel.
August 4: Deripaska's plane (carrying Kilimnik), lands in Moscow after making a quick trip to NY.
August 5: Deripaska and Russian Deputy PM Prikhodko secretly meet on a yacht in Norway and are recorded discussing US-Russia relations.
These are probably the most important 96 hours in the Mueller investigation.

As House Intelligence Democrats begin their investigation into Trump laundering Russian money, it’s important to remember that the same Cypriot lawyer managed the assets of both the Panama law firm that advised Trump in ‘09 & Moscow developer in ‘15 & ‘16 link.medium.com/fskbmPlsiU
The Cypriot lawyer is notorious for his high profile Russian clients, so what was he doing managing the $ of an entity involved in Trump Panama?
If the answer is “laundering Russian money” then House Dems would be wise to question Vassiliades and his employees.

William Barr's son-in-law is joining the White House Counsel. That seems... Inappropriate? cnn.com/2019/02/13/pol…
So the ONE person who is going to receive Mueller's report now will have a family member with Trump's ear.
What would say about that if it happened in another country?

NEW: Judge rules that Manafort lied to Mueller on three of the five instances - including the most important one - interactions with Konstantin Kilimnik.
This means that Manafort has breached his plea agreement and is subject to the full penalty of the law.
Judge rulings:

Manafort lied about:
-his interactions with Kilimnik in 2016 and 2017
-the "other DOJ investigation"
-the $125k Super PAC payment
Mueller failed to prove:
-Manafort lied about Kilmnik's role in obstruction.
-Manafort lied about his contacts with Trump admin

SCOOP: In 2015, Wikistrat [owned by Psy Group's Joel Zamel who in 2016 pitched Don Jr a cyber plan to get Trump elected] gamed out a Russian meddling scenario eerily similar to exactly what happened in the 2016 campaign.
by @woodruffbets @ErinBanco #Maddow bit.ly/2Ba0tcc
In Aug 2016, after Trump became the GOP nominee, Psy Group's Joel Zamel met with Don Jr and pitched a "plan," which echoed real election interference already underway by the Kremlin and the scenario which Zamel's Wikistrat had gamed out in 2015.
#Maddow
Wikistrat's 2015 Cyber Mercenaries scenario [which touched on Russia’s ‘Internet Research Group’ weaponizing social media to shape politics & hacking groups targeting US polling stations] mirrors material that Trump campaign's Rick Gates sought from Psy Group in Apr 2016.

1/ Psy-Group links to John Hannah who is an Arcanum leader:
Nov 18, 2018:
"'Mueller’s team has been looking into the communications and political dealings of John Hannah, the former Cheney adviser who later worked on Trump’s State Department transition team.' (con't)
@PortlusGlam @Agenthades1 @WendySiegelman 2/ ...This includes interactions w/Lebanese-American businessman & fixer George Nader, who brokered meetings between foreign dignitaries and team Trump, and Joel Zamel, a self-proclaimed social media guru with deep ties to Israeli intelligence.” (more...)

💣BOOM💣

Trump's deputy campaign chair Rick Gates solicited proposals (#felony) from Israeli firm Psy Group to create fake online personas, use social media manipulation & gather intel to help defeat @GOP primary opponents (@tedcruz) & @HillaryClinton🤨1/
nytimes.com/2018/10/08/us/…
Gates wasn't interested in Psy Group b/c other Trump aides oversaw social media. George Nader & Joel Zamel (Psy Group owner) met w/Don Jr & offered to help *THROW THE ELECTION* at an Aug'16 meeting arranged by Erik Prince‼️

Nader is COOPERATING.😎 2/

George Birnbaum (Arthur Finkelstein protégé/@GOP consultant who worked for Netanyahu & other Israeli officials) initially pitched Gates on using social media influence/manipulation to sway @GOP delegates toward Trump.🤨 3/

I've thought about this a lot and I'm gonna hedge my bets that George Nader was the one being spied on / FISA'd, whatever you want to call it, by the FBI, probably since he showed up in the United States inquiring on behalf of Sheikh al-Nahyan.
You may recall this article from May 19, 2018 in The New York Times.

"Trump Jr. and Other Aides Met With Gulf Emissary Offering Help to Win Election"

nytimes.com/2018/05/19/us/…
On August 3, 2016, George Nader, alongside Joel Zamel, met with Donald Trump, Jr. to offer their services to use Zamel's company, Psy-Group, with the election. The meeting was arranged by Erik Prince.
