THREAD 8 pages 701-800 of the 966 page Senate Intelligence Committee’s #Volume5 counterintelligence report into Russian interference. Wow! These 100 pages are a break the glass moment. Israel? Just, just wow. Please read this report for yourself and draw your own conclusions.
Pg 702 Continuing in the PsyOps vein, we’re introduced to a name you should know for many, all bad, reasons. George Nader set up a meeting in the Seychelles in attempt to create a back channel to the Russians using UAE and Secy Ed DeVos’ brother a Erik Prince. That’s not all... 
Nader has been convicted of child trafficking and pornography. This is the kind of man the president had working to get him elected and working to create a secure, discreet channel to speak with Putin. You can read this tweet 1000 times and it never gets better.
Because PsyOps was like the Cambridge Analytica for Israel, and George Nader was working on behalf of the UAE, isn’t it time to question Kushner’s activities in Israel? His relationship to Bibi, proximity to data, UAE, peace deal without Palestinians. Media, pull this string.
Pg 706 Beware the bots. An ‘avatar army’? You’ve seen this. If you were all of a sudden followed by Instagram models, Pepe frogs, bald eagles with flag backgrounds, or ‘people’ with handles like @ Jenny8675309, those were and are bots for trump.
The above can’t be overstated. This is how online influence campaigns work. They flood your timelines with propaganda. They want to create a buzz about hot topic issues to sow discontent, disinformation, soften the electorate and divide Americans. This is a coordinated attack.
Pg 714 We see an online campaign of misinformation in action. They created and wrote the narrative, they distributed it to their network of influencer ‘avatar army’ for dissemination and saw it pay dividends at the time they hoped to.
We should not lose sight of Michael Flynn’s involvement in these undertakings. He may be going through the court system for lying to the FBI, but he has never been charged for the underlying crimes he may have committed that promoted his lies to begin with. #Volume5
Pg 716 Remember back on page 702 when I said those things about George Nader? You do not have to take my word for it. These are things the Republican lead Senate Committee are saying based on the evidence. Based on what they can prove.
Pg 717 We begin to transition into what a post election world looks like. From the first moment, the committee outlines just how vulnerable this underprepared and disorganized incoming administration left us and our security.
Naive sheep who found themselves in a wolves den.
Naive sheep who found themselves in a wolves den.
Pg 727 goes along with page 726 where Kushner is having a meeting with Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak, the same one Flynn was caught with on the phone, about meeting a banker (Gorkov). But the bank was sanctioned. Kushner said in his testimony he was unaware of this.
Here is the exchange related to Gorkov and VEB Bank on page 29 of Jared Kushner’s testimony. Kushner did state he accepted gifts and reported them. FWIW, Title 31 Part 501 sub part D outlines the penalties of the trading with the enemy act (TWEA).
Pg 729 Back to #Volume5 again, these are not my musings but to offer something amusing in an otherwise depressing thread, Jared finally got dirt.
Pg 743 Erik Prince chose not to cooperate with the committee. Through all 743 pages so far we have seen a pattern of non compliance with subpoenas and witnesses pleading the 5th. Instead, we’re gaslit at every turn. It’s as if they’re hiding something or covering something up.
Pg 754 A guy, Bob Forseman, wants a meeting with Bannon who just helped get a president elected and within minutes he has a job in the administration because he’s fluent in Russian and know Mark Burnett? Then Bannon sends you to NSA Mike Flynn? Is this inept or diabolical?
Ambassador to Russia @McFaul introduces Jared Cohen to Jared Kushner. Cohen then recommends Foresman to Bannon who sends him to Michael Flynn. It might be interesting for him to add some color to these pages. #Volume5
This all doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Why was Bannon so eager to make this newly minted willing to do anything guy the new deputy chief of mission in UKRAINE? From the jump they wanted to remove Marie Yovanovich, you may remember her from impeachment proceedings.
Pg758 Foresman is introduced to Kushner, who then introduces him to Kerimov who launders money through the sale of villas. Villas are real estate right? Kushner is part real estate, trump is part real estate. Is this thing on? Seriously, we need Presidential Crimes Commission.
Pg 763 Shows a memo from a Russian interlocutor discussing Mike Pence. The highlight on this page may make it clear this was not Pence’s example, but it sure is on someone’s mind. Kind of like their goal all along of eliminating (sanctions) Magnitsky Act by executive order!
Pg 767 A reminder, just yesterday the DC Circuit Court denied the DOJ’s motion to compel Judge Sullivan to dismiss the case against Mike Flynn. You may also recall the Attorney General Bill Barr wants to drop the charges after Flynn plead guilty to them. Twice.
Pg 778 You will recall the Republicans hair on fire about ‘Unmasking’. During the lead up to the vote in the UN about the US stance on Israeli settlements our Ambassador found a fly in the ointment. They wanted to know which US Person was undermining our stance. It was Flynn.
Pg 787 The beginning of the beginning of the end of Mike Flynn. His lies spelled out, the reason Sally Yates went to the WH with concerns about the National Security Advisor being in a position of being blackmailed by the Russians.
Damn. That 100 pages was a firehose of backdealing, corruption, and shady deals with shady people. #Volume5 is almost done here troops. After this one, I need a silk wood shower. Thanks for reading.
