Putin/GRU seem to have new talking points for GOP:

Indicted sanctioned Russian agent Andrii Derkach (helped Giuliani find dirt on Biden) shares 'new evidence' in soon to be released video w/Simona Mangiante Papadopoulos (wife of exTrump advisor George convicted for lying to FBI) Image
In 2020 Andrii Derkach worked closely with Giuliani to smear Biden.

Derkach is the son of a KGB officer and he was schooled at a KGB academy in Moscow and later became a pro-Russia Ukrainian lawmaker

Derkach aided Erik Prince and Andrey Artemenko (aka Kuchma) in Ukraine in 2020

An Ex-Blackwater employee tied to Erik Prince provided security for Giuliani In Ukraine

A March DNI report said "Putin had purview over the activities of Andriy Derkach"

I created this chart showing the network around Artemenko (Kuchma), Giuliani, Prince, Derkach, Firtash and others - who were working to dig up dirt on Biden in Ukraine in 2020



newstracs.com/andrii-artemen…
An Apr 2020 FARA filing showed that Andy Kuchma (aka Artemenko) & Nabil Bader were hired to represent Andrii Derkach - later indicted, sanctioned as Russian Agent

Andy (Artemenko) Kuchma's company Airtrans is part of Erik Prince's Frontier Resource Group
Derkach also played a key role helping Russia attack Ukraine

@RUSI_org reported Derkach was paid $3-4 million monthly by the GRU to create private security networks and help Russian forces when they attacked Ukraine 2022-2023



static.rusi.org/202303-SR-Unco…
As @leesgirl9 noted here are a few of the folks tagged by Simona Mangiante Papadopoulos to follow the 'new evidence' from Derkach - Rudy Giuliani, Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz, Tucker Carlson, Roger Stone, Chanel Rion, Dinesh D'Souza, Elise Stafanik, Eric Trump

I can't believe how little the media reported that Giuliani and Erik Prince associate Russian agent Derkach was paid $3-4 million PER MONTH by GRU to help Russia attack Ukraine

I hope coverage of his new Biden smear campaign mentions this detail

Brad Parscale (digital director for Trump's 2016 campaign and campaign manager in 2020) is now working for the Trump 2024 campaign, has many ties to Texas billionaire Tim Dunn - and to a company piloting technology to detect school shooters.

My latest:

In 2017 Parscale sold his business to Cloud Commerce, now renamed AiAdvertising (AIAD), for $9 mil.

TX billionaire Tim Dunn's Hexagon Partners recently invested $5mil in AIAD and designated Donald Trump Jr's close pal Tom Hicks Jr. as a board director

AiAdvertising's new board director Tom Hicks Jr. was involved in discussions with Giuliani pal Lev Parnas and the Ukraine pressure campaign to disseminate damaging information on Biden before the 2020 election

Before any of the criminal trials, Trump is scheduled for a civil trial in New York in October.

Attorney general, Letitia James, seeks to bar Trump and three of his children from leading the Trump Organization and to pay a fine of around $250 million.

nytimes.com/2023/08/30/nyr…
AG James says fraud is so pervasive a trial is not needed for the court to rule:

“Based on the undisputed evidence, no trial is required for the court to determine that defendants presented grossly and materially inflated asset values,” the filing said.

nytimes.com/2023/08/30/nyr…
"Trump’s lawyers, in their own motion, argued that the entire case should be thrown out, relying in large part on a recent appellate court decision that appeared as if it could significantly narrow the scope of the case because of a legal time limit."
