Just me and Kilimnik (through his Twitter alias, which the SIC revealed to be @PBaranenko) chatting in 2019 about the polling data he got from Manafort. Seems I struck a nerve. 1/
I did not realize he was Kilimnik until someone pointed it out to me. 2/
Thread by @carolecadwalla about the content of that polling data. 3/
In April 2019, Mike Flynn DMd me after I posted about his receiving a handwritten note re lifting the sanctions that Obama had put on Russia re it’s invasion and annexation of Crimea and election interference.
Oddly defensive, yes? 4/
Maybe we’ll hear more about that soon too. (I have no inside scoop. Just odd that I, of all people, triggered both of these guys.) 5/

7/ From April 2015 to June 2016, Flynn served as an “advisor” for ACU Strategic Partners, which was promoting a plan to work with Russia to build nuclear reactors in the Middle East, according to his latest financial disclosure form. oversight.house.gov/sites/democrat…
8/ On November 16, 2016, Alex Copson, the managing partner of ACU, and ACU Counsel Donald Gross circulated a briefing memo entitled “TRUMP/PUTIN ME Marshall plan CONCEPT.” It stated that “ACU team members [are] highly engaged with key Trump Admin members.”
9/ The document said that ACU [Where Flynn worked] had secured the cooperation of a Ukrainian nuclear company & that this approach wld ‘require Ukraine to support lifting US & EU sanctions on Russia in line w/ the highest foreign policy priority of the incoming Trump admin...’”
14/ Backers of a U.S.-Russian plan to build nuclear reactors across the Middle East bragged after the U.S. election they had backing from…Michael Flynn for a project that required lifting sanctions on Russia, documents reviewed by Reuters show. 12/1/17 reuters.com/article/us-usa…
19/ I think this article is suggesting that Flynn’s plan could have been a covert means for Saudi Arabia to acquire the nuclear material necessary to build nuclear weapons. 😳
20/ I don’t know whether this was Flynn’s plan. But if it were, it would explain why he got nervous with me poking around his reported receipt of a hand delivered letter about lifting sanctions on Russia, one of the components of the deal.
25/ Mike Flynn trying to give Saudi Arabia (where most 911 terrorists came from) nuclear material reminds me of how his colleague, Steve Bannon, created Trump’s Muslim ban, which made an exception for Saudi Arabia. @jhpohlmanWriting
I read the Trump-backed voter suppression bill, the so-called “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Here’s my summary. Please tell your Senators to vote NO on this abomination: 202-224-3121. TY. 1/
You can read the Trump-backed “Save America Act” for yourself here. This bill expands upon the original so-called “SAVE Act”. 2/ congress.gov/119/bills/hr72…
3/ Here’s a link to the Brennan Center’s July 2025 report warning about the problems with both the SAVE System and the Social Security Number database when used to purge voters from the voter rolls, as would occur under the “Save America Act”. Everyone should read it. brennancenter.org/our-work/resea…
The SAVE America Act’s list of approved citizenship documentation is at the top. Marriage certificates are *not* included, effectively disenfranchising many of the 69M women whose last names don’t match their birth certificates (not an issue for those who buy expensive passports or have “Enhanced Drivers Licenses” that do match) 1/
The GOP’s “SAVE America Act” has a list of approved citizenship documentation for voters. It includes Real IDs that “indicate citizenship,” which misleads bc most Real IDs *don’t* indicate citizenship & thus won’t suffice.
The list also does *not* include marriage certificates, effectively disenfranchising many of the 69M women whose last names don’t match their birth certificates (not an issue for those w/ passports or Enhanced Drivers Licenses that do match). #NoOnSAVE #ProtectOurVotes 1/
Rs are using public confusion over Real ID to advance their deceptive Save America Act. In reality, for most voters, a Real ID will *not* suffice to prove citizenship under the Act—even if they presented a birth certificate to get it. Tell ur Senators #NoOnSAVE. 202-224-3121 1/
The GOP’s “SAVE Act” has a list of approved citizenship documentation for voters. It includes Real IDs that “indicate citizenship,” which is highly misleading bc most REAL IDs *don’t* indicate citizenship, per the DHS.
The list also does *not* include marriage certificates, effectively disenfranchising many of the 69M women whose last names don’t match their birth certificates (not an issue for those w/ passports or Enhanced Drivers Licenses that do match). #NoOnSAVE #ProtectOurVotes 1/
Most Real IDs do *not* prove citizenship. (EDLs, which are available in only 5 states are an exception) The GOP’s “SAVE” Act thus misleads when it says voters can prove citizenship w/ “ID issued consistent w/ the reqmts of…REAL ID…that indicates the applicant is a citizen…” 1/
