State Dept official Andrea Thompson, in charge of US arms control negotiations with Moscow, didn't disclose that she & her husband had years-long friendship with Paul Erickson, ex boyfriend of convicted unregistered Russian agent Maria Butina by @joshrogin washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
Paul Erickson officiated June 2017 wedding of Andrea Thompson undersecretary of state for arms control & international security affairs and took $100,000 from her husband - Thompson never disclosed these ties to her superiors until approached by @joshrogin
Thompson should have disclosed these connections voluntarily, since she holds top security clearances & worked for decades as a US intelligence officer... failure to report the info was an intelligence vulnerability that could have been used against her

Oleg Deripaska was a client of USG, a London security firm run by Walter Soriano, the target of a Senate Intelligence Committee subpoena, according to a court filing by Israeli investigative journalist Raviv Drucker. the7eye.org.il/327991
Roman Ambramovich was also a client. According to Drucker, USG provided them with services in legal disputes with other businessmen or when they were under criminal investigation.
At times, Drucker claims, this work was done through subcontractors, while carrying out "sophisticated surveillance, information gathering and data acquisition by various technological means, such as eavesdropping, hacking, and so on."
