Lev Parnas maxed out donations to both Pete Sessions, and ......

Kevin McCarthy.

whee!
checking PACs next ;)
nytimes.com/2019/10/10/us/…
Note: McCarthy did not receive a direct contribution from Fruhman, so it seems he's not Congressman 1.

Joe Wilson is still a sitting rep, and Rick Scott is a senator, so...

it looks like Pete Sessions is going to have a rocky launch for a 2020 TX-17 run.

It's kind of crazy that there are no records availalble for the Protect the House PAC on the FEC website in the 2018 cycle...

when there is at least SOME data available on non-govt run OpenSecrets.

opensecrets.org/jfc/donors.php…
The Parman Capital Group refund from 2019 is especially interesting.
LOTS of fun stuff on the Parman Capital Group OpenSecrets profile:

Like a $339,000 contribution to the RNC in 2018...
opensecrets.org/orgs/recips.ph…
And contributions to individual candidates from 2018

ps @Tom_Winter - Parman Capital Group is good fun!

opensecrets.org/orgs/recips.ph…
@Tom_Winter And, of course, ongoing contributions to the RNC, NRCC, state parties....

And Ted Cruz.
@Tom_Winter And LOL, looks like the 2018 cycle data just became available for the Protect the House PAC...

fec.gov/data/committee…
Lots of fun big-ticket donors, but nothing from Fruhman or Parnas directly yet.

Sheldon Adelson, Robert Mercer, Palmer Luckey, VanDerSloots + McInerneies...

fec.gov/data/receipts/…
OH - Strike that.

Here's "Igor Furman" 😈

Looks like it's time to fire up an elasticsearch instance, if anybody has the time.
And remind me - where have I seen "Import Export Group" before?
This recent FEC complaint also seems relevant.

Here's another org linked to Fruman/"Furman"'s address

Alro Enterprises LLC
VIF Management Inc
It seems @mrspanstreppon was all up in the Frumans' business last summer.

( if you don't follow her, you're missing out on ALL the receipts )

@mrspanstreppon She tracked down the Import Export Group too.

I'm done here :)

aside from one last thing, before I go get some coffee...

Look at the contributions made by Fruman and Parnas to the RNC and other national committees.

That's where the big story is going to be, methinks.

and now.....
one more....

And don't forget that these two mooks were the same guys that tried to broker their own Ukraine LNG deal while 'investigating' Joe Biden.

Three things I want to see from the 2020 candidates:

a) addressing the growing wealth inequalities - not just "because billionaires," but because of organized crime and predatory practices... and using meaningful tax code, enforcement and penalties to mitigate, incl.
b) ensuring that any and all profits from products are forfeited when those products' core functionality or regulatory approval relies on criminal activity, privacy violations, or other forms of fraud;
c) taking new approaches to old problems that haven't been solved yet through a modern-day brain trust - a Presidential incubator that citizens can apply to for financial and operational support for solutions to big problems that don't fit squarely into existing funding programs.

FWIW: I strongly suggest that anyone promoting their work through appearances via RT, Sputnik, or other Russian media operations is not someone whose content is worth sharing.

So please - if you don't want a block, don't share MintPress links in my threads.
There's bound to be some truth to whatever they're spinning - because that's how disinfo works.

They gain your trust with true statements, then gradually steer you towards whatever narrative they're pushing.

@ericgarland - any x-refs to share?
And note: I'm not a fan of Israel's policy positions in the least - but I'm very hesitant to encourage laypersons to follow these threads themselves due to the risk of adoption of weaponized anti-semitic threads that aid Russia in their own denials of culpability.

RFI: what are the top-level threads that need to be tracked in a comprehensive timeline linked to figure out WTAF, in part, to develop explanatory + probabilistic models of what acts are distraction/deflection/intentional acts on behalf of foreign powers/etc.
and to identify patterns of linguistic tells among Trumpologists to predict the etiology of their Trumpologism.
obvs I have much more than listed here, but trying to make sure I'm not missing anything.

i.e.
indiv Trump tweets
Epstein everything
DNC breach/SMARTech timeline
2004 OH election fraud
Everything in this list

‼️Giuliani Under Counterintelligence Probe

The counterintelligence probe indicates that FBI and criminal prosecutors in Manhattan are looking at a broader set of issues related to Giuliani, Trump's personal attorney, than has been previously reported.

cnn.com/2019/10/16/pol…
The counterintel probe hinges in part on whether a foreign influence op was trying to take advantage of Giuliani's business ties in Ukraine & with wealthy foreigners to make inroads with the WH (Firtash?), according to one person briefed on the matter.

cnn.com/2019/10/16/pol…
🔑Giuliani’s henchmen Parnas & Fruman are also on the radar with regard to possible counterintelligence issues.

Looks like a Lev Parnas started campaign donations in 2016. Gave more than $100K, most in the week just before the election. Recent recipients are Pete Sessions and @GOPLeader
Here are the McCarthy and Sessions donations: docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/fecimg…
docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/fecimg…
@GOPLeader Similar donation tale for an Igor Fruman. Donation history starts in 2018. Lots of Trump and NRSC. More than $20,000 to Rick Scott and Scott's Victory Fund. Joe Wilson got the max $5,400.
Scott: docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/fecimg…
Wilson: docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/fecimg…
@GOPLeader McCarthy spox says contributions were related to Protect the House, a fundraising committee McCarthy helped form. "The deception documented in today's indictment has no place in our country and as a result, McCarthy plans to donate amounts received to a local charity."

New York Times report from May on Biden, Ukraine and Burisma Holdings:

"No evidence has surfaced that the former vice president intentionally tried to help his son by pressing for the prosecutor general’s dismissal.”

nytimes.com/2019/05/01/us/…
NYT - Hunter Biden was warned by associates who had experience in Ukraine to stay away from Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma Holdings, who had worked in the government of former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych.

nytimes.com/2019/05/01/us/…
Zlochevsky faced multiple internal/external investigations for money laundering, Yanukovych-era corruption, tax evasion and the granting of gas licenses.

It is unclear if/how seriously Ukraine’s fmr. prosecutor general Viktor Shokin investigated Burisma.

Thread:

In February, Buttigieg was saying Medicare for All is the "compromise position", "center of the debate" since it's a public payer & private doctors.

Now, he's running attack ads against Warren & Bernie because Medicare for All is “polarizing”, & “dictates” to Americans
In Feb, Buttigieg argued that a "very disciplined right wing message machine" caricatured Obamacare as left wing.

Now, he's joining the disciplined insurance industry message machine to characterize his Dem competitors as authoritarian, with attack ads.

In April, New York Times reported that Pete Buttigieg attended dinners with billionaire financier and megadonor Bernard Schwartz where 'how to stop Bernie' was a topic of conversation.
