@anaphoristand @j2dumfounded @PortlusGlam @jayrosen_nyu Let's start with unmitigated corruption.
#WhistleblowerGate [WBG] <Thread>:
1/ Why did DJT [henceforth #Trumputin] fire DNI Coats via tweet on *Sunday* [Jul 28 2019], just 3 days before calling Putin [Wednesday, Jul 31]? (more...)

@anaphoristand @j2dumfounded @PortlusGlam @jayrosen_nyu 2/ DNI Coats followed up with his resignation letter after this tweet⤵️: (more...)

@anaphoristand @j2dumfounded @PortlusGlam @jayrosen_nyu 3/ Friday, Aug 2, 2019, US pulls out of INF:
"The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) was signed by US President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in 1987." (more...)

@anaphoristand @j2dumfounded @PortlusGlam @jayrosen_nyu 4/ But something happened between Jul 28 (Sunday-Coats fired) and WH call to Putin (Jul 31), two days before US withdrawal from INF (Aug 2), and that was this on Jul 29, 2019 (Monday): more...

@anaphoristand @j2dumfounded @PortlusGlam @jayrosen_nyu 5/ During the last week of July/first week of August, #Trumputin had no idea that a whistleblower would file a complaint re: Ukraine🇺🇦 on Aug 12. Seems likely that WH would have gotten a heads up about the 2nd interim report on IP3 #corruption though (see previous tweet). more...

@anaphoristand @j2dumfounded @PortlusGlam @jayrosen_nyu 6/ Before there was #WhistleblowerGate, there was #IP3Gate.
Not only did the WH stonewall (i.e., provided NO info) to this investigation, neither did:
Commerce (Wilbur Ross)
Defense (Mattis)
Energy (Rick Perry)
State (Rexxon/Pompeo)
Treasury (Mnuchin)

@anaphoristand @j2dumfounded @PortlusGlam @jayrosen_nyu 7/ So much corruption documented in the 50-page 2nd interim #IP3gate report. After Toshiba filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy for Westinghouse on Mar 29, 2017⤵️, Tom Barrack and KSA🇸🇦attempted to buy Westinghouse. (more...)
Excellent article⤵️, Apr 4, 2017:

@anaphoristand @j2dumfounded @PortlusGlam @jayrosen_nyu 8/ #Trumputin "will meet w/Chinese President Xi Jinping🇨🇳 for the first time at his Mar-a-Lago resort in FL on Thurs [Apr 6 2017] and Friday [Apr 7 2017]. A second official said the Trump administration is preparing for Westinghouse’s bankruptcy to come up in the talks." (more)

@anaphoristand @j2dumfounded @PortlusGlam @jayrosen_nyu 9/ "Any bid by Chinese🇨🇳 investors would require approval by a panel known as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. [CFIUS], which reviews foreign acquisitions of U.S. companies for national security risks. (con't)

@anaphoristand @j2dumfounded @PortlusGlam @jayrosen_nyu 10/ ...Mnuchin chairs the panel. The cmte, which includes the secretaries of the Treasury, Energy, Defense, State & Commerce depts*, can impose changes to transactions or, in rare cases, recommend to the president that they be blocked."
*ALL OF WHICH ARE IMPLICATED IN #IP3report.

@anaphoristand @j2dumfounded @PortlusGlam @jayrosen_nyu 11/ Two months later, in Jun 2017, Qatar🇶🇦 blockade happened. Mentioning this because Qatar🇶🇦 bailed out Kushner from 666 property in 2018, and has major stake in Westinghouse now. #QatarOutfoxedTomBarrack (more...)

@anaphoristand @j2dumfounded @PortlusGlam @jayrosen_nyu 12/ Apr 6, 2018:
"Japan's🇯🇵 Toshiba announced today that it has completed the sale to Brookfield of its shareholding in Toshiba Nuclear Energy Holdings (US) Inc - the indirect holding company of Westinghouse Electric Company." (more...)

@anaphoristand @j2dumfounded @PortlusGlam @jayrosen_nyu 13/ Page 20, #IP3 2nd interim report:
"a key component of Mr. Barrack’s plan was the purchase of Westinghouse Electric Company—the only U.S. manufacturer of large-scale nuclear reactors—using significant Saudi🇸🇦 and Emirati🇦🇪 capital, but with enough U.S. ownership... (con't)

@anaphoristand @j2dumfounded @PortlusGlam @jayrosen_nyu 14/ ...to bypass scrutiny from the Cmte on Foreign Investment in the US. (CFIUS)."
So Tom Barrack loses out in bid for Westinghouse using Saudi🇸🇦 and Emirati🇦🇪 money, while Qatar🇶🇦 winds up w/a stake in both Westinghouse and Kushner. (more)

@anaphoristand @j2dumfounded @PortlusGlam @jayrosen_nyu 15/ So much in the 2nd interim IP3 report that I could do a Seth Abramson-length thread (but I won't LOL). However, jawdroppingly unbelievable:
Dec 8, 2015, Alan Dunn: 'When we described how the architecture of the project is intended to align Saudi🇸🇦, US and Russian🇷🇺 (con't)

@anaphoristand @j2dumfounded @PortlusGlam @jayrosen_nyu 16/ ...on many important issues for the 👉80 year life of the project👈, Amb. Abdullah🇸🇦 showed keen interest.' Mr. Copson forwarded the email to other ACU officials and advisors, including General Flynn."
Pretty sure #Trumputin wanted new DNI to conceal this depraved corruption.
