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

Leonard Leo ally Tim Busch has sat on the board of EWTN, the world’s largest Catholic media network. EWTN explains here that the Catholic Church opposes abortion even if necessary to save the mother’s life. LEO stacked SCOTUS w/ Catholic hardliners. 1/ ewtn.com/catholicism/li…
Doug Wilson’s family publishing company published “The Case for Christian Nationalism,” which advocates an ethnically uniform nation ruled by a “Christian Prince.” Why is Tucker trying to normalize Wilson, Wilson’s network, & CN by omitting the most alarming parts? 1/
