Who is Joel Zamel, the Australian-Israeli linked to Mueller’s Trump Probe? His company Psy-Group engaged in private intelligence gathering work, while Wikistrat was contracted by the UAE to conduct war game scenarios on the political situation in Yemen haaretz.com/israel-news/.p…
in December 2016, Nader utilized a third company “linked” to Zamel, called WhiteKnight based in the Philippines and reportedly bought from them “a presentation demonstrating the impact of social media campaigns on Mr. Trump’s electoral victory.” haaretz.com/israel-news/.p…

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

1) @GeorgePapa19 interview @dbongino sounded like a similar story told in Mbz-Nader Set-up 1 of 3 which begs the question....Who is Joel Zamal? @BenKTallmadge @CarrollQuigley1 @almostjingo @wynterklaus @JusticeOIG
2) According to the #FailingNewYorkTimes Joel Zamal is 🇦🇺Entrepreneur tied to Wikistrat linked to George Nader. NYT failed to mention 🇦🇺🇮🇱Australian-Israeli Entrepeneur ALSO tied to #PSYGroup
nytimes.com/2018/04/04/us/…
3) Not disclosing #PSYGroup is incredibly damning seeing what their expertise are....Just what you need to make some #RussiaRussiaRussia @JusticOIG

Trump's deputy campaign chair Rick Gates solicited proposals from Israeli company Psy-Group to create fake online identities and use social media manipulation to help Trump defeat Republican primary opponents & Hillary Clinton.
by @MarkMazzettiNYT #Maddow nyti.ms/2E6xgmD
Psy-Group, which is owned by Joel Zamel [who met with Don Jr in AUG 2016] and staffed by former Israeli intelligence operatives, proposed using social media to amplify division among rival campaigns and factions to help Trump defeat Cruz & Clinton.
#Maddow
Aug 3, 2016: Joel Zamel pitched Don Jr a plan to get Trump elected in a meeting arranged by Erik Prince. Zamel's firm, Psy-Group, offers services like "honey traps" & social media manipulation to influence campaigns [just like Cambridge Analytica].

🛑BREAKING🛑

THREAD: Mueller is probing #Wikistrat (a consulting firm founded by Joel Zamel & Daniel Green in Israel) for their work for the #UAE, as Mueller continues to investigate FOREIGN influence in DC.🤨

UAE means George NADER is involved.🤔 1/

wsj.com/articles/muell…
Wikistrats' Zamel "informally met" w/Team🇺🇸Mueller👉🏼asked about his business relationship w/Nader, who's a top adviser to UAE Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed & also was close w/Team🇷🇺Trump.

Zamel’s relationship w/Nader is “arms’ length.”🙄2/

Team🇺🇸Mueller also asked Zamel about his work, including for "certain clients," but the ultimate target of this line of inquiry is "unknown."🤔

If it involves the UAE, then you can bet that Secretary of Everything, Jared KUSHNER, likely is part of this inquiry.😉 3/
