AMERICAN KOMPROMAT, my explosive new book on how the KGB cultivated Donald Trump, and much, much more, is out now, and getting raves from:
Author and former CIA operative Robert Baer, who calls it "a bombshell."
Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63 (Chairman of @Renew_Democracy), who recommends the book “to understand why the danger to American democracy is far from over.”

On Jan. 26, @DuttonBooks will publish my newest book, American Kompromat: How the KGB Cultivated Donald Trump, and Related Tales of Sex, Greed, Power, and Treachery.
Pre-order now: bit.ly/AmericanKompro… /1
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

2/As I reported in #HouseofTrump, FBI files asserted that Kislin was tied to the infamous Russian mobster Vyachslav Ivankov. Trump's ties to Kislin dated back to the late 70s when he bought 100s of TVs from him for the Grand Hyatt.
3/ Kislin's alleged ties to Russian Mafia notwithstanding, Trump got him to assist in issuing mortgages for condos in Trump World Tower
4/Kislin partner Tamir Sapir played a key role in bailing out Trump by partnering w Bayrock and helping fund the ill-fated Trump SoHo. Meanwhile, Kislin was a significant contributor to Giuliani who appted him to NYC's Economic Dev't Corp.

1/ It's worth remembering the entire context of McCarthy's remarks which @washingtonpost printed at the time. It shows that not only was McCarthy NOT joking, he was speaking in response to a series of events that began to reveal the corrupt core of the Trump-Russia scandal.
2/ As I write in #HouseofTrump, McCarthy's remarks came in June 2016, just 6 days after the Trump Tower meeting, and the same day the GOP House leadership had met Ukrainian PM Groysman, leading Paul Ryan to make the astonishing claim that the GOP was standing up to Russia.
3/ That's when McCarthy chimed in. McCarthy had a reputation for blurting out inconvenient truths, having said on Fox a key reason for Benghazi hearing was to drive down Hillary's poll numbers.

1/Given that he’s being charged with obstruction of justice, the optics are, shall we say, less than perfect.
2/ But right in line with his assertion that he could gun down someone on Fifth Ave and get away with it.
3/ His corruption has long taken place in plain sight.

It’s personally gratifying but politically horrifying to see that some stuff I wrote 15 years ago is still so relevant. @arapaho415
2/ Those articles were part of House of Bush, House of Saud. When it was published in 04, I gave a talk at Columbia and when I finished a man w a Russian accent came up to me and invited me to lunch.
3/ He was from the Russian consulate. What interested him in House of Bush was that it told the story of young Saudi billionaires arriving in US and how they clawed their way to the highest levels of power in the US-largely thru legal means.
