ICYMI: As part of MBS's effort to silence critics, a troll farm in Riyadh smothers voices of dissidents, harassing them on twitter. MBS advisor & “troll master” al-Qahtani [involved in Khashoggi’s murder] was the strategist behind the operation.

Michael Cohen's opening statement: "[TRUMP] was a presidential candidate who knew that Roger Stone was talking with Julian Assange about a WikiLeaks drop of Democratic National Committee emails."

via @politico HT @kylegriffin1 #Maddow politi.co/2H267Ry
Michael Cohen: "In Jul 2016, days before the DNC, I was in Trump’s office...Trump put Roger Stone on speakerphone. Stone told Trump that he'd just gotten off the phone with Julian Assange and in a days, there'd be a massive dump of emails damaging to Clinton’s campaign."

Mr. Trump responded by stating to the effect of “wouldn’t that be great.”

SCOOP: Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, in House testimony, will make public some of Trump’s private financial statements and recount how Trump lied about his net worth to avoid paying property taxes.
by @rebeccaballhaus #Maddow on.wsj.com/2H41Pch
Cohen will provide documentation of his reimbursement for the $130,000 Clifford hush payment, which he received in monthly installments throughout 2017. Trump signed some of the hush money reimbursement checks to Cohen –– AFTER becoming president.

WATCH: @JohnBrennan on @Maddow says he expects to see indictment(s) of Trump’s immediate family as Mueller’s final act.

Hoping he's right, @Kris_Sacrebleu, @HoarseWisperer. 🙏
"Wouldn't it be the coolest thing if Mueller released a major indictment on the 45th anniversary of U.S. v. Mitchell, the Watergate indictment?"

Why yes, @Delavegalaw, it certainly would!

How the Saudis Made Jeff Bezos Public Enemy #1 thedailybeast.com/how-the-saudis… via @thedailybeast
There's mounting evidence that the de facto ruler of KSA has been trying to punish Bezos in retribution for the fierce coverage by his newspaper, The Washington Post, of the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
“Along with a team of independent Arab experts and activists around the world, I have been closely monitoring the actions of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman —commonly referred to as MBS—since his rise in 2015—and specifically, his well-oiled online propaganda machine.”

Same #Saudi regime that has imprisoned without charge women’s rights activists since May and tortured them, including via water boarding. Same Saudi regime whose counter extremism agency made a public service announcement conflating feminism with terrorism. It’s not about “first”
This is typical #Saudi regime MO. #Saudi Arabia subjects women to a form of gender apartheid that requires all girls and women to have a male guardian that controls almost every aspect of their life. It’s not about “first.”
This same “first woman ambassador” like all #Saudi women has a male guardian. It could be her father, husband, brother and even son. It’s not about “first.”

Israeli spyware Pegasus, purchased by Saudi for $55M last year, "allows customers to secretly listen to calls, record keystrokes, read messages & track internet history on targeted phone; use phone’s microphone camera as surveillance devices." #Bezos

nyti.ms/2zF5KrF
"Because of those sweepingly invasive capabilities, Israel classifies the spyware as a weapon. The company must obtain approval from the Defense Ministry for its sale to foreign governments. Saudi Arabia paid $55 million last year for its use, according to Israeli news reports."
Who hated Khashoggi, threatening to "use a bullet" on him? Saudi prince MBS

Where did Khashoggi work? The Washington Post.

Who owns The Washington Post? Jeff #Bezos

Whose cell phone was hacked, leading to blackmail attempt by Trump toadie David Pecker & AMI? Jeff Bezos

In 1995, Jeff Bezos’ parents took a $250,000 gamble on his fledgling startup

One IPO and 3 splits later, his parents’ stake could be worth almost $30 billion today. That would make them wealthier than Microsoft Corp. co-founder Paul Allen

[2] I am NOT saying #Bezos committed insider trading

But I AM saying that grandfather LP #Gise was a director at the AEC (Atomic Energy Commission) and key person to approve and fund ARPA , from which #ARPAnet evolved , and now #Amazon is the largest cloud provider on Earth
[3] Dont believe me? Search this for "Gise" (or LP Gise).

Glad #Saudi troll farms & their connection to Saudi regime have been studied. I’ve experienced plenty attacks for my writing on women’s issues in #Saudi & my opposition to #Yemen war: 1 of most coordinated came after #Jamalkhashoggi shared 1 of my articles nytimes.com/2018/10/20/us/…
In February, #JamalKhashoggi kindly shared the Arabic version of an oped I wrote for Washington Post about #MosqueMeToo which I started for Muslim women to talk about sexual harassment and assault in Sacred spaces, including Hajj in Makkah, #Saudi Arabia
Immediately after Jamal shared my column, i was inundated with one of the worst and most coordinated attacks by #Saudi regime trolls I have ever experienced. For days. It was a window into how much shit he and other Saudis who are critical got and continue to get.

1/ The #Saudi kidnapping of #Khashoggi reminds me of the kidnapping of #Hariri. It is meant to embarrass the other party, this time the gov of #Turkey, and provoke a diplomatic crisis. This is drug Cartel methods. It has no other goal than to assert power over the other.
2/ However, resorting to these methods to assert power in the political and international affairs sphere is always a sign of weakness and a sign of a power in crisis. #SaudiArabia
