House Committee on Oversight and Reform Report prepared for Chairman @RepCummings

Whistleblowers Raise Grave Concerns with Trump Administration’s Efforts to Transfer Sensitive Nuclear Technology to Saudi Arabia

assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5743…
Per whistleblowers Derek Harvey said during 1st week of Trump Admin decision to adopt IP3’s plan to develop dozens of nuclear power plants was made by Flynn during transition when he was IP3 advisor

WH staff agreed Harvey's directive could violate the law
assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5743…
Days after the inauguration IP3 officials sent docs directly to Flynn for Trump to approve including a draft Cabinet Memo stating Trump had appointed Tom Barrack as special rep

After Trump fired Flynn the plan continued w/Harvey, Tom Barrack & Rick Gates

IP3 leaders stated in letter: “agreements by President Trump and Mohammed bin Salman have established the framework for our unique opportunity to take the next steps with IP3 and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia” & referenced partnership to acquire Westinghouse

A striking part in report says Deputy Nat'l Security Advisor McFarland said Trump told Barrack he could lead implementation of Middle East Marshall Plan - but Trump said Barrack could not be paid for his role

Why?

A bit like Manafort working for free?

Jan 2018 Brookfield Business Partners, subsidiary of Brookfield Asset
Management, announced plans to buy Westinghouse Electric (part of IP3’s proposed consortium) for $4.6 billion

Brookfield Asset Management bailed out Kushner Cos 666 Fifth Ave property

‘They killed Jano’ - A year after Ján Kuciak’s murder, the price for investigating organized crime is still far too high. by @DrewOCCRP politico.eu/article/they-k…
Reporters like Ján Kuciak and Daphne Caruana Galizia "are not supposed to be killed for their work. It’s a breakdown of our values and social norms" "...reporting in an environment where this can happen is a little like painting a house when it is on fire"
politico.eu/article/they-k…
About 20-30 years ago, organized crime globalized with the help of the “criminal services industry” — the Western banks, law firms, registration agents, Golden Visa peddlers, business intelligence firms, hedge funds and lobbyists who service their needs.

The problem with enforcement of anti-corruption laws is that “officials rarely have the fortitude to go after big, well-connected targets like Manafort.” If he hadn’t joined the campaign he would have gotten away with all he’s done, by @FranklinFoer
theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
The immediate priority is pursuing justice related to the Trump-Russia investigation but wider systemic failures also need to be addressed as well
This piece by @DrewOCCRP highlights the systematic failures that enable criminal $ to flow to the west to be laundered with the help of established service partners - and the life and death risks to reporters who investigate these stories

💣BombShells💣

In May 2017 McCabe told the gang of Eight he had opened a counterintel investigation into Trump:

Nunes
McConnell
Ryan
Burr
Schiff
Pelosi
Schumer
Warner

Flynn’s efforts to transfer sensitive nuclear tech to SA (unlawful), & SCO fear Trump still considering it.
💣BombShells2💣

The company backing the nuclear plan, IP3 International, and its allies in the White House were working so closely that the company sent a draft memo to the former national security adviser, Flynn, to circulate just days after the inauguration.
💣BombShells3💣

Flynn had worked on the plan for IP3 during the Trump campaign, transition & continued to advocate for it in the WH.

Even after Mr. Flynn was fired officials on the NSC pushed ahead ignoring advice from NSC’s ethics counsel to cease work on the plan.

‼FINALLY a US official—Judge Sullivan—says to #Flynn what many have tip-toed around for years now:
—You were a foreign agent while serving as National Security Advisor to POTUS
—This undermines everything this flag stands for
—Arguably you sold your country out
—Is it TREASON?
Flynn cooperated but Trump doesn't call him a "rat." He even wishes him "Good Luck" in court. Also tweets he's worried about what Flynn has to say re "Russian Collusion." What's Trump gonna say now that Flynn delayed sentencing to cooperate some more & Judge brings up treason??

THREAD: the WaPo got an exclusive, inside view of Team🇺🇸Mueller.

After reading this, you’ll have NO DOUBT that Team🇷🇺Treason is going down‼️ 1/

washingtonpost.com/politics/insid…
Witnesses arrive SECRETLY via the loading dock. Security guards quickly wave the vehicle inside, then push a button that closes the garage door and shields the guest’s arrival from public view.🤨

👆🏼THIS👆🏼is why MUCH more has transpired than reported by the MSM‼️2/
Once inside, most witnesses are seated in a *windowless conference room* where two- and three-person teams of FBI agents & prosecutors rotate in & out, pressing them for answers.🤗

MUELLER himself often sits in the room, listening‼️ 3/
