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
“As of three weeks ago, 172 of these individuals [pardoned by Trump] had pled guilty to assaulting law enforcement. By their own admission, they assaulted police. About 140 officers were injured, including Officer Brian Sicknick, who died the following day. Four officers who responded that day have since died by suicide.” 1/25/25 (Link in post 2.)

Trump has picked Paul Ingrassia to lead the Office of Special Counsel. As of 9 days ago, Ingrassia’s Instagram included a pinned photo of himself w/ self-professed “misogynist” Andrew Tate who has since been charged w/ rape & trafficking in the UK & who performed the Nazi salute on video (in apparent defense of Elon Musk). 1/
MAGA’s favorite White South African activist group—Afriforum—admitted last year that “there is no white genocide going on in South Africa.”
(In 2018, Afriforum had traveled to the US to discuss their claim that White South African farmers were being murdered due to their race. They have since hobnobbed with Tucker Carlson, Jack Posobiec, New Founding, CPAC, & NatCon.) 1/
The Center for Renewing America—founded by Trump’s OMB Director pick Russ Vought, a top architect of Project 2025—has *explicitly* said that it wants the federal govt to “eliminate” Obamacare’s life-saving Medicaid expansion. Here are some stats on the expansion. 1/ cbpp.org/research/healt…
