Based on interviews with ex-officials of the KGB, CIA, and FBI, it tells how a relatively insignificant targeting operation by the KGB roughly 40 years ago triggered a sequence of intel protocols leading to the cultivation of Donald Trump as a Russian asset. 2/
It tells, for the first time, how active measure operations by Russian intelligence were designed to disguise the origin of Trump’s ties to Russia./3 
It also tells how other operatives of team Trump had ties to Russian intelligence and how they participated in operations that were technically legal but were also part of larger operations. /4
It also tells the story of the rise of Trump’s Praetorian Guard, led by William Barr and a small but powerful right wing Catholic clerisy, some of whom had ties to Opus Dei, the secretive Catholic prelature with roots in fascist Spain. 5/
It tells how women with alleged ties to Russian intelligence joined Jeffrey Epstein's operation and used it to win access to powerful people in Silicon Valley. At the time, Putin had said that whoever is the leader in artificial intelligence “will become ruler of the world.” 6/
American Kompromat ties these threads together in a narrative that sets the stage for the next chapter in Russia’s alliance with right wing populists and their war against American democracy. /7
AMERICAN KOMPROMAT is coming January 26, and is available for pre-order now:bit.ly/AmericanKompro… #AmericanKompromat /8
