ROSNEFT—It’s The #TrumpRussiaConspiracy that put Trump in office.
Eat it. Sleep it. Until you learn it.
Qatar bought Rosneft with a right of repurchase by Russia.
Why did that happen after the blockade?—
Ask Kushner.

2) ROSNEFT—Donnie’s Conspiracy
“Kushner received a massive and badly needed $184 million loan from Qatar after he backed a United States blockade against the country.”
@jonathanvankin
3) ROSNEFT—Donnie’s Conspiracy
“..Qatar was also a buyer in the Rosneft deal, in which the state-owned Russian oil mega-firm sold off 19.5 percent of its shares to a company owned in part by the government of Qatar..”
4) ROSNEFT—Donnie’s Conspiracy
Qatar has been “an ally in the United States war against Middle East terrorists, and where a crucial U.S. military base has been located since 2003.“
5) ROSNEFT—Donnie’s Conspiracy
“the Trump administration backed a Saudi Arabian blockade of the country — a move that was encouraged and supported by Kushner.”
@jonvankin
6) ROSNEFT—Donnie’s Conspiracy
“Just weeks before the blockade, Kushner’s family sought substantial financial backing from the Qatari government for the Kushner company’s financially strapped building at 666 5th Avenue..But the Qataris rejected the Kushner proposal.”
7) ROSNEFT—Donnie’s Conspiracy
“After the blockade, a Qatari-linked company, Apollo Group, granted the Kushners’ business the $184 million loan.”
8) ROSNEFT—Donnie’s Conspiracy
“...the funds for Kushner’s loan may be linked to the Rosneft deal — a deal that forms a key part of the dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele that outlines deep ties between Trump and Russia.”
@jonvankin
9) ROSNEFT—The Conspiracy
“The U.S. changes its political posture against Qatar at Kushner’s urging.... [Fortunately, no war resulted.]Several months later, the Qatar-backed Apollo Group delivers $184 million to Kushner.”
Vankin quoting Shugerman
10) “The dossier alleges that Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page brokered the deal with Rosneft, meeting with the company’s CEO Igor Sechin during a trip to Moscow in 2016 when Page was still a member of the campaign.”
@jonvankin
11) “The deal, according the allegations in the dossier, was tied to an agreement that funds from the sale would be secretly transferred to Trump in exchange for a pledge to ease economic sanctions on Russia.“
12)ROSNEFT—The Conspiracy
“And a short time after the Rosneft deal went through in December of 2016, Kushner held a clandestine meeting in Trump Tower with Sergey Gorkov, chair of Russia’s state-owned Vnesheconombank, also known as VE Bank..”
@jonvankin
13) ROSNEFT—The Conspiracy
“VE Bank is under U.S. sanctions and would be one of the Russian institutions and individuals who would benefit from an easing of those sanctions.”
@jonvankin
14) ROSNEFT—The Conspiracy
“Rosneft boss Igor Sechin, another close Putin associate, is also under U.S. sanctions. Page denies the allegations in the Steele Dossier that he met with Sechin and brokered the massive Rosneft deal..”
15) “The bottom line is that all this new Kushner news connects more dots in the Steele dossier’s core allegation: that there may have been a quid-pro-quo of Russian oil money for Trump policy change on sanctions.”
