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
👀The Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy has published an article by A3P attorney Josh Hammer, Timon Cline, & Yoram Hazony. It calls on SCOTUS to reverse the 1947 Everson case, which held that the Establishment Clause applies to states & requires church-state separation. 1/
While we were distracted, Trump appointed Josh Craddock—who recently signed a letter urging the DOJ to use the Comstock Act to curtail abortion pill distribution—to serve as Deputy Assistant AG in the DOJ’s OLC. Don’t worry. He probly won’t do much until *after* the midterms… 1/

Houraney “recalls encountering Epstein at Mar-a-Lago in Jan 1993” & says “Trump asked him to organise a party” w/ “some of his pageant’s finalists…[A]fter an hour at the party, Houraney says, there seemed to be only one other guest: Epstein.” 3/14/20 1/
ICYMI, during the 2016 presidential campaign, “Epstein invited [Peter] Thiel and [Thomas] Barrack to separate meetings with Vitaly Churkin, Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations. **** Thiel, who had several interactions with Epstein starting in 2014, according to the documents, said his Oct 2016 meeting with Epstein & Churkin featured ‘nothing memorable.’
‘I was rather naive,’ Thiel said in an interview, ‘and I didn’t think enough about what Epstein’s agenda might have been.’ Barrack, founder of Colony Capital and a longtime Trump ally, declined to comment.” 1/ archive.is/2023.09.03-150…
Tulsi’s report seems to me like an attempt to distract. As I detailed on Medium, Obama stated in Dec 2016 that, “We have not seen evidence of machines being tampered with *** That doesn’t mean that we find every single potential probe of every single voting machine across the country. But we paid a lot of attention to it. We worked with state election officials, etc. And we feel confident that that didn’t occur.” 1/
If anything, I felt that Obama and others provided false assurances to the public about the legitimacy of Trump’s win in 2016. I explained my concerns in detail here. 3/ jennycohn1.medium.com/why-have-so-ma…
A whistleblower alleged that staff of Palantir—co-founded by Facebook investor/director Peter Thiel—had worked w/ Cambridge Analytica (CA) on the FB data it acquired. But a Palantir spokesperson claimed Palantir never had a relationship w/ CA & never worked on its data. 5/2018 1/
