All info in thread above is available on Senator Feinstein's website below, I created thread so letters are searchable on twitter - there are also some interesting/new names within the letters (possible future threads to come:) /END
feinstein.senate.gov/public/index.c…
Footnote 1: interesting item in letters to Michael Caputo, Phillip Griffin, Frank Mermoud is inclusion of Viktor Vekselberg w/Manafort, Kilimnik & Deripaska - there's been a lot of coverage of Vekselberg's ties to Wilbur Ross Bank of Cyprus, not much (yet) on his ties to Manafort
Footnote 2: several letters (Bannon, McGahn, Kellogg, Stephen Miller, Spicer) request info related to Jan 12, 2017 David Ignatius Washington Post story "Why did Obama dawdle on Russia's hacking" - I'm curious why this story is identified specifically

Good analysis & context on letters Sen Feinstein sent out from @Alt_Spicerlies

Two stories today about UAE selling off two huge NYC real estate investments

One story is about Abu Dhabi government fund & Tishman Speyer putting the Chrysler Building on the market - Abu Dhabi Investment Council had paid $800 million for a 90% stake
therealdeal.com/2019/01/09/abu…
And a majority stake in 330 Madison Ave owned by the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority is heading to the sales market at pricing expected to reach nearly $1 billion
nypost.com/2019/01/08/mos…
I don't know that these two sales have any significance, but the size of the deals seems notable and worth keeping an eye on.

Manafort intended for polling data to go to Ukrainian oligarchs Serhiy Lyovochkin & Rinat Akhmetov - Manafort wrote in an August '16 email he expected $2.4 million payment in Nov 2016 for work done in Ukraine - from backers including Lyovochkin & Akhmetov
cnn.com/2019/01/09/pol…
In addition to hiring Paul Manafort in Ukraine and working together for over a decade, Rinat Akhmetov has several business ties with Alex Shnaider who was Donald Trump's partner in developing the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Toronto
In '09 Alex Shnaider & Eduard Shyfrin's company Midland Resources sold Ukrainian Zaporizhstal steel mill for $850 mil in '09 financed by VEB, $40mil from sale was earmarked for Trump Toronto & @tomburgis reported $50 mil penalty was owed to Rinat Akhmetov

Yesterday's indictment is a major signal that we're nearing the end of the #TrumpRussia prologue.

I interviewed @Mimirocah1 about the story which she said indicates that "prosecutors are putting the pieces together."

I agree.

Here's my $0.02.

Why is Natalia Veselnitskaya's link to the Kremlin so important?

1 - SDNY provides Mueller with apolitical evidence sent from the target that predates all investigations.
2 - Proves Don Jr. met a Kremlin Agent
3 - Burns the Russian prosecution against @Billbrowder

2/
Natalia Veselnitskaya had been working on the Prevezon case for years, but in 2014 she involved herself drafting of the official response to the DoJ's invocation of a treaty for legal assistance.

She sent the evidence that she worked with the Kremlin to SDNY prosecutors.

Senator Feinstein is unhinged.
Senator Dianne Feinstein has enjoyed YEARS (decades, even) of disrupting and interfering with American legislative processes.
Senator Feinstein leaves a trail of corruption, misconduct, and political bias.
[Thread]
2. Feinstein has a record of voting against Conservative Supreme Court nominations:
John Roberts
Samuel Alito
Neil Gorsuch

And now, she's attacking Brett Kavanaugh with a vengeance unseen in American history.
3. Senator Dianne Feinstein is using her Senate position as a means to subvert the Confirmation of a Supreme Court Justice through a false allegation that Judge Brett Kavanaugh has a sordid sexual past from his high school days, 30+ years ago.

Thread: On Chinese Spying in the US

1. Most of my past threads on the Chinese plan for world domination (there are MANY rolled up for reading!) have focused on economic aspects, i.e., One Belt, One Road (OBOR) and “Made in China 2025.”
2. In some of those threads, I touched on other aspects, including the astonishing improvement in their military and space capabilities, theft of US intellectual property, corruption/capturing of US politicians, and use of influence agents in American cultural institutions.
3. I also did a thread on Chinese economic espionage and cyber spying which laid out their overall goals and objectives.
