@Tom_Winter noted Joseph Cinque presented Tao Liu an award

A 2013 story noted Joe Cinque presenting Trump an award - Scottish golf course named best in the world HT @MsMariaT

The doc describes Jackie Arnold drug trafficking org in TN and a larger $ laundering network linked to Qiyun Chen who was directed by Xizhi Li

Remember the 'mystery' state-owned bank that Mueller was investigating?

It was an Egyptian state-owned bank

Mueller team was trying to see if $ flowing through the bank backed millions Trump donated to his campaign

By @kpolantz @evanperez @jeremyherb

cnn.com/2020/10/14/pol…
I have to eat crow for joining the wild guessing game

Wonder if folks on the Mueller team were amused at the twitter speculation - and how far off base everyone was

Mueller's team tried to understand the $10 million contribution Trump gave his campaign 11 days before the 2016 election & the Trump campaign's ties to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi

At a 2019 G7 summit Trump said "Where's my favorite dictator?"

Russian GRU targeted Burisma and subsidaries such as Kub-Gas, co-owned by Burisma & Cub Energy, which is majority owned by Robert Bensh's Pelicourt

Trump's ex Energy Sect Perry suggested Burisma biz partner Bensh for Naftogaz board & he joined this year

Maybe MSM journalists can ask Trump admin why a business partner with Burisma was suggested to join Naftogaz board if associating with Burisma is so problematic...

I heard Robert Bensh was appointed in March 2020 through @ktskts11
