So the #Brexit folks (@danarohrabacher's friend, Farage, and Wigmore) were doing the exact same thing that the Trump fam and surrounding #MAGAs were doing. Not surprised one bit. No doubt the real story is much worse. (Murdoch owns The Times.)

h/t @profcarroll

"Arron Banks, the millionaire businessman who helped fund Brexit, had three meetings with the RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR 🇷🇺 to Britain — raising explosive questions about attempts by Moscow to influence the referendum result."

"Emails by Banks and his sidekick Andy Wigmore, shown to The Sunday Times [TO RUPERT MURDOCH'S PEEPS], reveal an extensive web of links between Banks’s Leave.EU campaign and Russian 🇷🇺officials."

The emails, "...show they made repeated contact with [RUSSIAN 🇷🇺] officials to discuss business opportunities and issues of mutual interest throughout the referendum campaign and its aftermath." 😬🙄

"In his book on the referendum, The Bad Boys of Brexit, and in another public statement, Banks claimed to have had only one meeting with Putin’s envoy Alexander Yakovenko, in September 2015."

THEY LIE.

"But today The Sunday Times can reveal that the pair also had lunch w/the [RU 🇷🇺] ambo JUST THREE DAYS after they and...FARAGE visited US pres DONALD TRUMP in NY in 11/16." 🔥🔥🔥

DOES ANYONE W/TWO BRAIN CELLS THINK RUPERT MURDOCH DID NOT KNOW THIS? 😁

"Last night Banks admitted that he handed over telephone numbers for MEMBERS OF TRUMP'S TRANSITION TEAM to RUSSIAN 🇷🇺 officials."

HOLY SH*T BALLS! 🤣💩

"Trump...stunned the world yesterday by calling for Russia to be readmitted to the G7 group of nations."

HMM, YA THINK RUPY CALLED TRUMP AND TOLD HIM THIS STORY WAS GONNA DROP? 🙄😁 HURRY QUICK, CALL FOR 🇷🇺BACKUP! 💩

What do you think, @ericgarland ?🤔🤨😏

"The 40K EMAILS were obtained by the journalist Isabel Oakeshott, Banks’s ghostwriter on The Bad Boys of Brexit. She is now writing a book w/Lord Ashcroft, a former treasurer of the Conserv Party, that covers RU 🇷🇺 “hybrid warfare” techniques to influence western politics." ...

In case you don't know, Lord Ashcroft is SHADY AF.

Here's Lord Ashcroft, w/Nigel Farage, in DC 1/19/17. DAY BEFORE TRUMP'S INAUGURATION.

Yup. Right out in the open. CONSPIRIN' and sh*t. 🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽

Back to Rupert Murdoch's The Times piece (cuz it's his):

"She [the journalist working on Lordy Ashcroft's book] came fwd after her emails were “HACKED”....

OMG THIS IS SO FUCKING FUNNY!! 🤣😂 Turnabout is fair play! 🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽

The EMAILS, "...have now been passed to the House of Commons digital, culture, media and sport select committee, which is investigating RUSSIAN 🇷🇺 attempts to influence western politics w/FAKE NEWS."

While US Congressional Rs sit, castrated....😠

"The Sunday Times has also seen a 2,000-word account of the meetings written by Wigmore and has conducted several interviews/Banks."

Several interviews. Told ya. THEY SIT ON STORIES. Good thing he did not end up like Peter Smith. 🙄

"Last night Banks downplayed the significance of the meetings and denied that RU 🇷🇺 officials sought to influence his Leave.EU referendum campaign."

I'LL BET. 😁🤦🏽‍♀️😏

"But the revelations are likely to TRIGGER FRESH INVESTIGATIONS by the Electoral Commission and MPs into the conduct of the referendum and the extent of Russian influence."

🤣😂🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽

Think your name came up in any of those e-mails, @DanaRohrabacher ?
<eot>

Coordinatin'? Conspirin', perhaps? 🤣😏🖕🏽
