Cadre, a real estate startup partly-owned by Jared Kushner, is seeking an investment of at least $100 million from a private fund backed by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
N.B. This story is from May, 2018, and my tweet should have been more precise: "Cadre *sought* an investment of at least $100 million from a Saudi and UAE-backed fund."
The deal never came to fruition. But in the current news cycle in which the public is paying closer attention to deal-making involving politicians and their relatives, it's germane.

Trump presides over an administration tainted by political, financial and legal opportunism and malfeasance, and l’affaire Ukraine offers heightened examples. But the men who stick out in the scandal had some Trump in them before joining the White House: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
Why did Pompeo wait two weeks to publicly acknowledge he participated in what Trump has described as the “perfect call” to Zelensky in July?
Why did Barr’s Justice Department opt not to consider criminal charges stemming from the July phone call even though the CIA reportedly requested as much?

So the CIA says it made a criminal referral on the whistleblower's complaint to DOJ? And was mystified why Barr's agency only looked at it as a possible campaign finance violation--and (in the spirit of "no obstruction" from the Mueller probe) moved on? nbcnews.com/politics/trump…
Either Elwood, the CIA's general counsel, is disingenuous, at a minimum, or Barr's folks may have been bad actors and ran interference for the White House. Whichever it is, neither is good.
When Elwood and Eisenberg spoke with DOJ, no one on the phone had seen the whistleblower's formal complaint, which had been submitted two days before and was still a secret.

***"The issue of campaign finance law was not part of their deliberations, the officials said."***

Trump’s zeal for conspiracy theories — just a flicker until he embraced birtherism in 2011 — has boomeranged on him in Ukraine and left him mired in an impeachment inquiry: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
"One of the telling aspects of Trump’s turn to sprawling conspiracy theorizing eight years ago, and his subsequent immersion in it, is that it’s one of the few signature pieces of his current repertoire that isn’t a throwback."
Charles Coughlin, the anti-Semitic “radio priest” of the '30s, and Joseph McCarthy, who used TV to stoke the '50s red scare, exemplified Hofstadter’s thinking. Trump, who’s used social media and Fox News’s talk shows to propagate conspiracies, stands squarely on their shoulders.

💰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
