At House Intel hearing on Putin's playbook @RepSpeier asked about Austria's Raiffeisen Bank & Russia - Raiffeisen funded Trump Toronto deal w/$310 mil & never pursued repayment

Heather Conley from @CSIS noted how often Austrian banks & energy cos appeared in research on Russia
Most reporting onTrump's Toronto deal focused on loan made to Trump's partner Alex Shnaider by VEB, but in June 2017 I noted initial funding for Trump Toronto was from Raiffeisen RZB which did significant business w/Dmitry Firtash (& reportedly Mogilevich)
Here's @RepSpeier asking about Austria's Raiffeisen Bank & Russia - and pointing out that Raiffeisen funded Trump Toronto deal w/$310 mil & Raiffeisen didn't pursue repayment (RZB did very few deals in North America, and loan terms were very unusual)

#Trump campaign #BradPascale in #Romania makes me ponder a few questions:
🤔
-Using trip to influence US Romania emigrant voters?
-Purpose is to offer #socialmedia manipulation advice for #EU May vote?
-Perfect opportunity to meet with other election manipulators in the region?

Could Romanian media influence Romanian American voters?
As Romanian immigrants in America steadily increase, the population of Romanian voters might be heavily influenced by the strong ties to political and religious opinions held by leaders in Romania.

This will not be easy to explain away. A sex trafficker has presidential access. Does she have biz deals in China (a pipeline)? Does she have biz w/Trump family (Ivanka and her “spas” trademarks)?
I’m reading that she sold the spa(s) away to another woman in 2013, yet on social media posts prior to the sale, it was evident that women were being trafficked out of the location that the bust occurred, during the time she was owner.

This morning, I woke with a fire in my belly, aching with the loss of our elders. Furious with the knowledge that our data has been weaponized, our deepest fears and biases have been harvested, sorted, reseeded by hostile nation states who conspire to harm fellow Americans. 1/
They target us. They create propaganda and memes to coerce us to dehumanize one another. They fund the platforms that KNOW but are silent. They run the PR firms and lobbyists that NORMALIZE and PROMOTE micro-targeted campaigns with OUR DATA. They obfuscate their role. 2/
The world is complex, but journalists must not intentionally obscure what they know. So, as I scanned the headlines of the @nytimes this morning, where did I land? A PR fluff piece for none other than Brad PARSCALE.
I knew, just KNEW who had to have written it.

Can you guess? 3/

50 million Facebook profiles harvested for Cambridge Analytica. Psych prof/developer Aleksandr Kogan accessed 270k FB users' data w his app, then collected their friends' data…& sold it all to Trump's data firm which used it to target ads in 2016 election theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…
FB 2018: "We learned a psychology professor at the University of Cambridge named Dr. Aleksandr Kogan lied to us…by passing data from an app…using Facebook Login to SCL/Cambridge Analytica, a firm that does political, government… military work around the globe." FB knew in 2015

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full

#Trump used the same trick as George W did in Florida. By removing voters of color in 28 states, Trump supposedly won the electoral college.
