Westinghouse worried that IP3 was taking over and removed them from the bid. IP3 joined a bid by Korean Electric Power Corp KEPCO to build the nuclear reactors in Saudi Arabia. IP3 held meetings in the White House and touted its "unique access" to Trump.
/3
About That:
Feb 26, '18: Westinghouse fires IP3 for being too pushy.
Mar 22 '18: IP3 investor explains the Saudis won't accept any deal that gives them less leeway than America gave Iran under the Obama agreement. Korea is in a better position to win the bid than Westinghouse.
/4
Mar 27 '18: IP3 meets with Dept of Energy & industry partners to discuss the Korean arrangement. DoE agrees to host Koreans the next week to discuss things.
So DoE Rick Perry signed off on building reactors in SA? 🧐
/5
Same Day: IP3 meets with Mr Gray from Defense Industrial Base to brief him on the Korea plan. Gray passes info on to National Security Council Asia.
How was this all happening without anyone from Congress knowing? 🥺OR WAS IT?
/6
June 15 '18: Adm Hewitt emails IP3 bigwigs to tell them the Dept of Energy says their messages are "resonating" but they also need to consider "integrated security" with any offer they propose.
Cold feet? Or an attempt to tamp this down? Or?
/7
Jul 26 '18: SR541 is a Senate bill that would require SA to agree to a 123 Gold Standard non-proliferation agreement.
Solomon says don't worry, key folks know this can't work and the bill won't pass the Senate floor.
WHO? Is #MoscowMitch in on the plan? 🧐
/8
IP3 continues to meet with Dept of State, Dept of Energy, Dept of Commerce to discuss the plan.
Aug 27 '18: Adm Hewitt emails NSC bigwigs arguing that insisting on holding SA & other countries to the Gold Standard will cost America all nuclear contracts ever in the world. 😰

/9
Oct 2 '18: Journalist Khashoggi is killed in Saudi consulate. Trump almost spills the beans on what exactly he wants to sell to Saudi Arabia, which is why he won't investigate the murder.
"They will buy --"
😱
/10
Adm Hewitt meets w/ Al Hammadi, CEO of Emirates Nuclear Energy Corp ENEC to discuss the Marshall Plan. Hammadi agrees to update IP3 on his talks with SA, their Minister of Energy, & Korea.
IP3 will act as broker between US govt and industry entities. $$$$$$$
/11
Dec '18: Sen Rubio & Markey table a bill requiring SA to admit guilt for Khashoggi murder b4 getting nuke deal. Adm Hewitt dismayed.
Need to discuss a "range of agreements" to get around the 123 Gold Standard requirement.
/12
ESCALATION.
Adm Hewitt sends "Draft letter to the POTUS" to nuke execs for feedback. Letter asks Trump to directly and clearly support their "Team USA" bid to build the two reactors with Korea.

/13
Gen Jack Keane (READ THIS: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Keane) meets with Trump and Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney. Trump asks for more info on the Marshall Plan.
WE KNOW HE KNOWS.
BOOM.
💥💥💥💥💥💥
/14
Ok, we're on the final stretch now. Only 5 pages left!
First: refill your ☕️
Then: look out the window for 30 seconds to rest your eyes.
Now: back to the Cummings Report! 😱
/15
2019: IP3 continues to try to profit from the transfer of American nuclear tech to Saudi Arabia. They are still meeting with industry execs, TRUMP himself, and even tried to meet with Bolton. 2017: NSC was advised to stop working with IP3 at all due to legal concerns.
/16
About That:
Feb 9 '19: Adm Hewitt says he was contacted by Trump's office to gather industry execs at the White House for a meeting. Sec State Pompeo, Sec Energy Perry will be there. To discuss the Marshall Plan.
Feb 12: Yes, they had the meeting.
/17
Adm Hewitt says this will be Military style campaign. Tries to meet Ambassador Bolton to involve the NSC, but Bolton's office refuses due to legal conflicts.
Gen Keane tells Larry Kudlow that they're partnering with Korea now, not Westinghouse.

/18
Apr 15 '19: news article explains the US-Korea deal and how it will get around the 123 Gold Standard. The nuke tech would be Korean, US would only be "assisting" with tech expertise and security.
LOL SURE JAN
Let me jump on my ROFLCOPTER here... 🚁
#CummingsReport
/19
June 25 '19 DoE Perry avoids question about requiring a 123 Agreement from SA before the Korea Deal goes through.
Dodgy little creep, isn't he?
/20
Hold on to your hats, here's the kicker!
Other nuclear industry execs have concerns that IP3 lacks expertise. They called IP3 the "THERANOS of the Nuclear Industry!"
(If you haven't read or heard the audible version of Bad Blood, I highly recommend it goodreads.com/book/show/3797…)
/21
About That:
Feb 16 '18: Nuke execs get letter about IP3 quarterly meeting. One emails his staff, saying his company isn't actually part of IP3, they're just attending meetings to keep an ear out for opportunities. IP3 has "questionable reputation."
/22
One nuclear company is mystified at IP3 plan, wants to know more details before getting involved.
Another exec wants to avoid association with IP3 entirely.
/23
When invited to that meeting with Trump and DoE Perry, many execs refused.
Watch closely: one doesn't like it because they "compete with Russia and China."
WHY did he think the IP3 plan would not compete with Russia and China? 🧐📌 (Am I mis-reading this?)
/24
Exec who calls IP3 the "Theranos of the Nuclear Industry" points out that Saudi Arabia has zero ability or desire to run reactors & US companies can't built a reactor abroad.
/25
Exec explains IP3's mission clearly: They just want to sell SECURITY SERVICES to countries with American reactors.
Hello, paging Erik Prince! 📞 Please pick up the Congressional Courtesy Phone nearest you!
ERIK PRINCE.
Remember the meeting in the Seychelles for "just a beer?"
/26
BONUS CONTENT: George Nader, adviser to UAE, sets up meeting with Prince and Kirill Dmitriev, CEO of Russian wealth fund. Dmitriev also meets Rick Gerson, Kushner's friend, gives him plan to "improve US - Russia relations," passed it to Bannon & Rexxon
