Kushner/Brookfield bailout update, Flynn edition:
@WendySiegelman (linked here) and I have been two of the people focusing the closest on the Brookfield bailout of Kushner 666 5th Ave.
Beyond Qatar's link, why would Brookfield bail out Kushner?
We are learning more from Flynn. 1/

2/ Last week, Qatar officials were scrambling to @reuters with the utterly disingenuous claim that its bailout of Kushner through Brookfield was "unwitting." I wondered if Qataris knew something was going to break. Maybe it was the Flynn news today?

3/ A timeline, drawing from the House Oversight Report for @RepCummings, linking Flynn, Kushner, Westinghouse, and Brookfield:
"Whistleblowers Raise Grave Concerns w/ Trump Administration’s Efforts to Transfer Sensitive Nuclear Technology to Saudi Arabia"
assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5743…

4/ "Whistleblowers provided new information about IP3 International, a
private company that has assembled a consortium of U.S. companies to build nuclear plants in Saudi Arabia. IP3’s only project to date is the Saudi nuclear plan."
Flynn visited Saudi for IP3 in 2015.

5/ "A key proponent of this nuclear effort was General Michael Flynn, who described himself in filings as an “advisor” to a subsidiary of IP3, IronBridge Group Inc., from June to Dec 2016—at the same time he was serving as Donald Trump’s national security advisor."

6/ "According to whistleblowers, Flynn continued to advocate for the adoption of the IP3 plan during the transition and after he joined the White House..."
Another key proponent of this effort was Thomas Barrack, Trump’s personal friend & Chair of his Inaugural Committee."

7/ "Barrack...opened communications w/ UAE/Saudi, recommended Manafort as campaign manager—and then tried to arrange a
secret meeting between Manafort and MBS.
24% of the $7B raised by Barrack since Trump won the nomination “has come from UAE or Saudi.”
That's almost $2B.
WOW.

8/ "Derek Harvey, Sr Director for Middle East at the National Security Council stated during the first week of administration that the decision to adopt IP3’s nuclear plan... to develop “dozens of nuclear power plants” had
already been made by Flynn - while he was advising IP3."

9/ "Career staff warned that any transfer of nuclear technology must comply with the Atomic Energy Act. Harvey..ignored these warnings. One senior political official stated that the proposal was “not a business plan,” but rather “a scheme for these generals to make some money.”

10/ "Days after the inauguration, IP3 officials sent documents directly to Flynn for Trump to approve, including a draft Cabinet Memo stating that Trump had appointed Barrack to implement the plan."
Trump was forced to fire Flynn Feb. 2017, but Harvey maintained contact w/ Flynn.

11/ More than 5 confirm that Harvey stated on March 2, 2017: “I speak with Michael Flynn every night.”
"A career NSC staffer who joined a call with RICK GATES, BARRACK, and Harvey [said Harvey] was trying to promote the IP3 plan 'so that Jared KUSHNER can present it to [Trump]."

12/ Pausing my House report summary w/ a reminder:
On inauguration day, Flynn texted business partners that a plan to build nuclear reactors in Middle East was "good to go."
Because Obama's sanctions would be "ripped up," according to whistleblower.
politico.com/story/2017/12/…

13/ Russia/Saudi/Trump quid pro quo comes into focus:
"The whistleblower said [business partner] gushed that Trump's inauguration was 'the best day of my life' b/c it meant his company's effort to create a U.S.-Russia energy partnership in the Middle East...was moving forward."

14/ March 14, 2017:
Trump met with MBS in Oval Office w/ KUSHNER, “discussed opportunities for U.S. companies to invest in Saudi"... potentially more than $200 billion in investments.
Senior Official 1 stated to NSC staff: “What the hell is going on?”

15/ Then it gets interesting with Westinghouse and Brookfield:
March 17, 2017:
IP3 leaders McFarlane, General Keane, Rear Admiral Hewitt, & General
Alexander signed a letter to MBS on this agreement, referenced a “partnership to acquire WESTINGHOUSE between IP3 and Saudi Arabia."

16/ Westinghouse is a major nuclear power company that is struggling through bankruptcy (filing Ch. 11 in 2017).
Brookfield acquired Westinghouse in Jan 2018.
Brookfield bailed out Kushner in May 2018, closing on 666 5th Ave just before Kushners owed $1.2B balloon payment.

17/ Tellingly, the House Report actually connects these dots between the Flynn/Russia Saudi conspiracy, Brookfield, Kushner, and the 666 bailout in its own timeline. The House Oversight lawyers are on it: h/t @WendySiegelman

https://twitter.com/WendySiegelman/status/1097909931225894917

18/ "In Feb 2018, it was reported: 'Administration is considering permitting Saudi to enrich and reprocess uranium as part of a deal that would allow Westinghouse and other American companies to build nuclear reactors.”
1 month after Brookfield bought Westinghouse.

19/ Now dig deeper on that Feb 2018 report:
"Administration is mulling whether to ease [regs] as a way to help Westinghouse and other corps win Saudi contracts. Saudi plans to construct 16 nuclear reactors over next 20-25 years at a cost of more than $80B"
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

20/ Energy Sec Perry pushed Westinghouse on MBS the same month its new owner Brookfield bailed out Kushner:
May 9, 2018, Perry lobbies Saudi "to use Westinghouse to construct its reactors: 'We tried to really drive home to MBS. You have to use Westinghouse.”
Cc: @KarenAttiah

21/ Sept 26, 2018, Sec Perry reportedly stated Saudi "recently made a decision that keeps U.S. businesses—foremost Westinghouse Electric Co.—in the mix for what could ultimately become a market worth tens of billions.”
"FOREMOST WESTINGHOUSE."
(And foremost Brookfield/Kushner?)

22/ The bombshell takeaway is huge:
The House Oversight Committee is showing it has the goods from whistleblowers potentially to connect
FLYNN 🔥
⬇️
Russia/Saudi/UAE nuclear/sanctions conspiracy
⬇️
Westinghouse
⬇️
Brookfield
⬇️
KUSHNER
💥

23/ Now review the dots I was connecting a year ago from the Steele Dossier, Rosneft, and Kushner pushing a military blockade by Saudi/UAE against Qatar in 2017, followed by a $184M loan by Qatar-backed Apollo, and then his 666 Brookfield bailout:
