@AWeissmann_ book revealed Paul Manafort had been under federal investigation 4 times before Crossfire Hurricane.

Manafort was the focus of US investigators looking at Pakistani intelligence linkages in the US. Manafort was working with radical Jamaat-i-Islami figures. Image
scroll.in/latest/806852/…

Indian and French security officials told me they used to think Manafort worked for the CIA judging on his ability to cause headlines, but escape scrutiny.

He was working with an ISI front in Washington.

Why did Mueller's let him off the hook in 2011? Image
Ghulam Nabi Fai was a member of Jamaat-i-Islami, South Asia's premier fundamentalist outfit. Fai is a friend of Hizbul Mujahideen leader Syed Salahuddin.

Jamaat figures sheltered senior al-Qaeda leaders in Pakistan. Built jihad camps which Osama used.

Paul Manafort wasn't just acting as a lobbyist for an Pakistani ISI front in Washington DC.

He was getting involved in Pakistani scandals in France.

Manafort was involved in the Karachi Affair.

FBI and the CIA sitting on their hands again?
theintercept.com/2017/09/05/dec…

Why did the FBI do nothing about Paul Manafort getting involved in French political graft and inflaming tensions in Kashmir?

Was he being protected?

The Indian government accused Manafort of posing as a CNN journalist and notified Atlanta! ffs Image

Natasha "Fusion" Bertrand published an interesting article on foreign cooperation with US agencies investigating the Trump campaign in April17.

"In August- more than eight month after British officials were alerted to Trump-Russia contacts."

Jan16? Image
"It looks like the [US] agencies were asleep."

If British intelligence were talking about Trump figures talking to Russian intelligence figures in 2015 who were they talking about? Carter Page? Paul Manafort?

Natasha's and The Guardian source was Chris Steele. Image
Paul Wood knew that the pantomime began in Spring, but Peter Strzok and John Brennan have now moved the goalposts.

They say the fusions cells were setup in August 2016.

So, how much information was coming from Europe and when? Image

Remember when @Jim_Jordan and @MarkMeadows asked why two DOJ prosecutors Andrew Weissman and Zainab Ahmad had been liasing with Bruce Ohr on Steele dossier related matters in 2016?

Counterintelligence probe? Prosecutors read in on Steele dossier?
"In 2016, prior to the presidential election..." 🤔
Weissman and Ahmad had been told by Bruce Ohr that Christoper Steele (employed by the DNC) was desperate to prevent @realDonaldTrump from becoming President.

Ahmad had been plucked from New York and moved to headquarters in the Spring of 2016. Organised a conference for @Comey

For those who say Alexander Downer doesn't do spying.

When he was Australian High Commissioner to the UK.

MI5 complained he was still moonlighting for a Hakluyt, a private intelligence firm while in the role. A serious breach of diplomatic protocol.

news.com.au/world/britain-…
Downer doesn't mind breaking the rules. He's always been like that. Leading the charge for Australia to get involved in the Iraq invasion.
smh.com.au/national/downe…

Ever hear about his role in the Iraq Oil for Wheat scandal?

Dodgy Downer has been getting involved in lots of dubious schemes over the years.

Dropping a Trump foreign policy advisor into a an FBI sheetstorm is just another scandal to add to the list.

@simonamangiante transcripts to the House Intelligence Committee revealed serious wrongdoing by the London Centre of International Law Practice.

Nagi Idris and Joseph Misfud were encouraging Simona to embellish and lie on LCILP's behalf. Image
LCILP should have been the centre of the FBI and Special Counsel's probe just by looking at the congressional testimony. The fact it was staffed with Americans in a foreign capital should have raised alarm bells.

@RepSwalwell @RepAdamSchiff @DevinNunes Image
British allies at @guardian @peterjukes @carolecadwalla wanted Joseph Mifsud to be some kind of Russian connection to Brexit. The photo of him with @BorisJohnson a gift. It wasn't to be.

Mifsud fought for Malta to be in the EU. He thought Brexit would be a disaster for the UK. Image

LCILP directors Arvinder Sambei and Martin Polaine are experts in cterrorism and intel. They teach covert spying. It's on their website.

#DurhamReport work focuses on it. Polaine and Sambei claim they do intel work for the US State Department.
LCILP were doing intelligence work.

Polaine and Sambei train spies.

In 2014, the pair asked Mifsud if they could use the London Academy of Diplomacy to host training.

I've been told that Link Campus in Rome was also used as a venue once Mifsud joined LCILP.

Who was paying?
Did they use covert Special Investigative Means (SIMs)
against @simonamangiante and @GeorgePapa19?

According to Sambei and Polaine they have developed a new range of covert methods of handling informers and agents.

Sambei claims Papa is making it all up.

The London Centre of International Law Practice (LCILP) was a curious place.

Gary Born told The Washington Post he wasn't working there despite LCILP having an email address under his name.

Were LCILP commiting fraud?

The only real principles were Sambei, Idris and Dovey. ImageImage
lcilpenergy.org/2nd-annual-con…

Gary Born did attend and give a keynote address at an LCILP event. Why would he lie about an affiliation with LCILP?

The email address in his name?

Why was it pumped full of Americans?
Here is a photo of Arvinder Sambei at an LCILP event.

Why would LCILP lie about lawyers connected to them? Gary Born says he has no affiliation with them.

Were LCILP using and abusing those credentials for intelligence work? @simonamangiante @GeorgePapa19 Image
