RUs Hacked Burisma hoping to find X to hurt Biden & help Trump, the very same TeamTrump sought.

Yep, samesies as HRC & DNC hacks in 2016.

Once they had the emails, the RUs used trolls to spread & spin the material, & built an echo chamber to widen its effect.
🐻FancyBear2🐻

Then, as now, the Russian hackers from a military intelligence unit known formerly as the G.R.U., and to private researchers by the alias “Fancy Bear,” used so-called phishing emails that appear designed to steal usernames and passwords
🐻FancyBear3🐻

The Russian attacks on Burisma appear to be running parallel to an effort by Russian spies in Ukraine to dig up information in the analog world that could embarrass the Bidens

Trump authorized Soleimani's killing 7 months ago, with conditions.
🐻FancyBear4🐻

The timing raises new questions about the Trump adm’s stated justification for taking out Soleimani

The presidential directive in June came with the condition that Trump would have final signoff on any specific operation to kill Soleimani, officials said.
🐻FancyBear4🐻

After Iran shot down a U.S. drone in June, John Bolton, Trump's NatSec adviser at the time, urged Trump to retaliate by signing off on an operation to kill Soleimani, officials said.

SOS Mike Pompeo also wanted Trump to authorize the assassination.

New details about Soleimani killing further undercut Trump’s lies

Officials said the intel did not convincingly support the claim of an “imminent” threat.

This has been confirmed by at least one GOP senator briefed on the intelligence, along with many Democrats.
🐻FancyBear5🐻

When the American contractor was killed, the elimination of Soleimani was on the menu of options presented to Trump.

So was the elimination of Abdul Reza Shahlai, an Iranian commander in Yemen, but when that went awry, it was not disclosed.
🐻FancyBear6🐻

That’s apparently when Trump, his brain addled by Benghazi-itis — a desire to look tougher than former PBO did during the Benghazi attacks — ordered the killing of Soleimani, & Shahlai, even though the intel indicated that Iran didn’t intend to escalate.
🐻FancyBear7🐻

The law requires:

“An imminent threat is what you would need to justify taking an action in self-defense.”

“The threat must be so extreme & imminent that it would be unreasonable to seek the necessary approvals before taking action to defend the country.”

Trump Campaign Adviser George Nader Pleads Guilty to Child Porn, Sex Trafficking

Reminder: Nader met w/ Kush, Bannon & the Emirati crown prince. Thet sought to convince the Trump adm to sour on Qatar, a US ally, but an enemy to the Emiratis. #QatariBlockade
🐻FancyBear11🐻

The anti-Qatar Op was championed by Trump fundraiser Elliott Broidy.

Broidy, also the former finance chairman for the RNC, received a wire from Nader in April 2017 for a whopping $2.5 million from Nader’s company in the UAE.
🐻FancyBear12🐻

Also Nader was a key player in the January 2017 Seychelles meeting joined again by bin Zayed. But this time in attendance was Erik Prince, & Putin’s ally Kirill Dmitriev, head of Russia’s $10 billion sovereign wealth fund, the Russian Direct Investment Fund.
🐻FancyBear13🐻

January 2018, Nader was stopped by FBI agents at Dulles Int’l Airport.

They wanted to know more about meetings Nader arranged between members of Trump’s transition team & officials from the Kremlin.

Standby for incoming indictments. Broidy, Barrack, Ed Royce?
