THREAD
It’s A Good Time To Review Trump’s Russian Connections; His Oligarch Friends; The Steele Dossier Validity; The Rosneft Oil Deal; The Qatari Connection; The Putin Connection; The Trump Campaign Connection; And Quid Pro Quo Laid Out By @grantstern A Year Ago.

1) Evidence Tends To Prove Trump And His Campaign Brokered A Deal In Which Russia Sold A Piece Of State Owned Rosneft Oil Co To The Qatari Emir Bypassing Sanctions And Paying Them A Commission.

2) “The Trump Russia Dossier describes a massive privatization deal to deliver a chunk of the state-owned Rosneft Oil company to Qatar and also a secret buyer in the Cayman Islands.”

3) “Donald Trump and Russia conducted the transaction in three phases; Phase 1 began in early 2016 with a meeting of the minds at The Mayflower Hotel to start the deal and a due diligence period”

4) “Phase 2 began just before the Republican National Convention and continued through Election Day, and Phase 3 happened after Trump’s shocking win and concluding just days before Buzzfeed published the bombshell dossier describing the deal.”

5) “The end result allowed Russia to trade stolen emails to help Trump’s election campaign (and that of many Republican Congressmen),in exchange for help circumventing American sanctions to transact the sale of Rosneft,which Putin desperately needed to finance his budget deficit.

6) “The Rosneft transaction also purportedly sent a $500 million dollar brokerage fee to Carter Page, or perhaps the Trump Organization.”

7) “Four Ambassadors convened at The Mayflower Hotel, who represent the three countries definitely involved in the Rosneft privatization deal: Italy, Russia, Singapore, and also the Philippines.
They all attended Donald Trump’s foreign policy campaign speech.”

8) “From the look of events, starting in July, a massive international oil privatization transaction began, and it was concluded in early January, right around the time the Electoral College certified Donald Trump as America’s 45th President.”

9) “Oil-rich Gulf Arab nation of Qatar was the end buyer of a massive stake in the Russian, state-run oil company Rosneft’s privatization deal.”

10) “Carter Page met w/Rosneft in December to assist w/the deal,and he’s on the record admitting it but claims he didn’t meet Igor Sechin.. A mighty brokerage fee to one of the Trump campaign advisors, Moscow-based investment banker Carter Page,is highlighted in Steele’s report.”

11) “Five hundred million dollars is a lot of money, and conceivably, many members of the Trump Organization, or family, could be involved in a deal of that scope.
What is most unusual about the sale is that Qatar is on the opposite sides of the Syrian war from Russia.”

12) “However, friendship between Donald Trump and the Qatari state-run airline who paid him anywhere from $19,000–100,000 a month in rent since 2008, must run deep.”

13) “Six countries are known to have participated in the massive privatization deal of Russia’s jewel, its state-run oil company, which left the end ownership of the stake impenetrable, and a purchase price of roughly $10.7 billion dollars”

14) “Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin had already spent $5 billion dollars to buy out a foreign stake in Bashneft, another massive Russian oil partnership, whose oligarch was compromised, and charged (as Putin often does) with criminal offenses.”

15) “Nineteen and a half percent of Rosneft’s stock was agreed to be transferred on December 7th, before the board was informed of the transaction’s terms only after it took place.”

16) “The Trump Watchdog indicates that the Walkers law firm is linked to Trump economic advisor Steven Schwartzman [Blackstone] because they own the Intertrust Group, who provided the Singapore holding company.
The shell company owned by Intertrust Group was renamed QHG Holdings”

17) “The end game for Russia was to funnel at least $5 billion dollars of new capital into state coffers to staunch some of the red ink expected to plague Putin’s budgets going into his 2018 elections, and through at least 2020..while tiptoeing past American financial sanctions.”

18) “..Qatar never publicly confirmed how much it contributed to the deal or size of stake it bought,Glencore& Rosneft say it contributed 2.5 billion euros.Along w/300 million from Glencore& 5.2 billion loaned by Intesa [Italian bank], that leaves shortfall of 2.2 billion euros.”

19)”Trump has stakes in 4 companies that appear to be tied in business in (Qatar)...Qatar Airways, has leased an office in Manhattan’s Trump Tower since 2008. Ivanka Trump told Hotelier Middle East in 2015 that the Trump Hotel Collection was eyeing opportunities in Qatar.”

20)”At the heart of the Dossier’s disclosures is the Russian goal of ending economic sanctions,some of which specifically target Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin, who was Putin’s top deputy in government service just a few short years ago”

21)”...Trump’s lawyer and a group of his Ukrainian family connections and lawmakers, and the notorious Felix Sater appeared with a “peace plan” that would’ve accomplished the end of sanctions.”

22)”One of the ‘peacemakers,’ a Ukrainian relative of Trump’s trusted lawyer Michael Cohen, has already perished under mysterious circumstances since then.
If America lifts sanctions against the Putin regime, then the value of Russia’s public oil companies stands to skyrocket.”

23)”Wikileaks involvement to assist Russia in Trump’s campaign is a cornerstone of the dossier’s claims; it was seen as essential for Putin and Russia to maintain plausible deniability for political interference.”

24)”..new factual data shows that the anti-secrecy organization switched to their web hosting to use a Russian DNS server right before releasing the most damaging email material during last year’s elections.”
