💰Rick Gates, George Birnbaum & Psy Group

March 2016:

George Birnbaum (GOP operative) introduced Gates to Psy Group & to which he expressed interest in using it as a SocMed influence & manipulation tool, to try to sway Republican delegates toward Trump.
nytimes.com/2018/10/08/us/…
Birnbaum was a protégé of Arthur J. Finkelstein, & has spent years as a consultant working on behalf of candidates in foreign elections. In 1996, he helped Finkelstein engineer Netanyahu’s victory over Shimon Peres to become the PM of Israel.

After the hotel meeting with Mr. Gates in March 2016, Mr. Birnbaum worked directly with Psy-Group employees to refine the proposals for the Trump campaign.
nytimes.com/2018/10/08/us/…
Rick Gates, sought one proposal to use bogus personas to target and sway 5,000 delegates to the 2016 Republican National Convention by attacking Senator Ted Cruz of Texas
Another proposal describes opposition research and “complementary intelligence activities” about Mrs. Clinton and people close to her.
nytimes.com/2018/10/08/us/…
A third proposal by the company, Psy-Group, which is staffed by former Israeli intelligence operatives, sketched out a plan to help Trump by using social media to help expose or amplify division among rival campaigns and factions. #PsyGroup
nytimes.com/2018/10/08/us/…
The proposals, part of what Psy-Group called “Project Rome,” used code names to identify the players Trump was “Lion” & HRC was “Forest.” Cruz, who Trump campaign officials feared might lead a revolt over the Republican presidential nomination, was “Bear.”
nytimes.com/2018/10/08/us/…
📌In anticipation of the August 2016 Trump Tower meeting, Mr. Zamel asked Psy Group to prepare an updated version of the third proposal.
nytimes.com/2018/10/08/us/…
🔑Nader and Zamel have given differing accounts over whether Mr. Zamel ultimately carried out the Psy Group led social media effort to help the Trump campaign and why Nader paid him $2 million after the election. 🤔
nytimes.com/2018/10/08/us/…
📌In 2018 investigators presented a court order to the Israel Police and the Israeli Ministry of Justice to confiscate computers in Psy-Group’s former offices in Petah Tikva, east of Tel Aviv.

Stay tuned!

The biggest threat to our country today is the GOP

Trump & his coterie of criminals have done more in 2 years to weaken the US than the Soviet Union was able to achieve in decades

Nadler:’Very substantial evidence' Trump is 'guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors,'

Schiff: Trump is "essentially an unindicted co-conspirator" in the Cohen case and that SDNY may have to reopen its investigation into campaign finance violations after Trump leaves office, and DOJ "will have to weigh whether to indict the former president."

💰George Nader💰

George Nader, the disgraced & recently indicted child sex trafficker & child porn aficionado is in the thick of Team Trump global shenanigans from the notorious Seychelles meet to Qatar Blockade to Psy Group & more.

MAIN THREAD
Trump’s lack of prep’n for victory & disorganized transition created a vacuum that, as RU/ME sought out access & influence, was quickly filled by a number of people eager to portray themselves as access brokers or to generate personal biz opportunities.
nytimes.com/2019/04/20/us/…
But prior to the 2016elex in addition to RU’s efforts to influence the American electorate in favor of Trump, ME foreign actors also assisted w/ the SocMed influence ops to help Trump & harm Cruz/HRC.

Nader among others were key to these influence ops to swing the elex to Trump

Already indicted on multiple charges and facing the likelihood of superseding indictments, Rick Gates appears to be cooperating with special counsel Mueller in the #TrumpRussia investigation amp.cnn.com/cnn/2018/01/23…
Rick Gates worked for Tom Barrack, of the US-Russia nuclear scheme (upthread) literally until the day he was indicted
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
1 year ago today, Mike Flynn met privately in his West Wing office with FBI investigators interested in his communications with Kislyak, without a lawyer or the knowledge of Trump or WH officials.

Trump did not learn about the interview until 2 days later
