Broidy is being investigated for allegedly developing a plan to try to persuade the Trump government to extradite a Chinese dissident back to #China, a move sought by the Chinese president.🤨
The same guy Trump chillaxed with at Mar-a-Lago.🙄 3/
Apologies for the slow roll. I’m eating dinner while tweeting. Plus, this Broidy guy is *quite* the character.😉

Broidy is being probed for his/his wife’s attempt to make a $75 million deal w/Malaysian Jho Low if DOJ ended its investigation of #1MDB, a Malaysian gov’t fund👉🏼former Malaysian PM implicated for embezzling BILLIONS of dollars from the fund.🙄5/
👆🏼 Broidy’s partner in (alleged) crime, George Nader (another convicted felon for pedophilia-related crimes) is COOPERATING with federal prosecutors.😎 7/
🔥DOJ’s public integrity section — probes political & government #corruption — have sought documents related to Broidy’s business dealings, including details about Broidy’s work on behalf of and interactions w/Chinese & Malaysian officials.😎 8/
🔥“As part of their efforts, prosecutors have subpoenaed casino magnate Steve Wynn, the former #RNC finance chairman & longtime Trump friend, for copies of records and communications related to Broidy.”
Now, it’s clear why @realDonaldTrump has his recent meltdown.🧐 9/
🔥Now, there are **at least two #RNC finance chairs** implicated in federal CRIMINAL investigations (Broidy & Cohen).
Not to forget that a **third** #RNC finance chair, Steve Wynn, has been subpoenaed for his interactions with convicted felon Broidy.🙄 11/
Broidy’s alleged criminal nexus stretches far and wide & could implicate Trunp & the #GOPr beyond shady ties to the Middle East, and also to #Russia🇷🇺. 12/
“Broidy’s alleged efforts to push for [Chinese dissident] extradition came after Wynn separately helped deliver a message from the Xi government seeking to have the dissident returned to #China.” 13/
🔥“Wynn, who has contacts w/Chinese officials because of his business (casino) interests in Macau, *hand-delivered a letter to Trump* seeking Guo’s (the Chinese dissident) deportation.” 14/
Broidy is under investigation, Flynn & Gates rolled, Cohen is near-certain to cut a deal, and Wynn is “cooperating” w/a federal probe, plus Manafort, Stone (too many for 280™️) face likely #indictment.
Trump's deputy campaign chair Rick Gates solicited proposals (#felony) from Israeli firm Psy Group to create fake online personas, use social media manipulation & gather intel to help defeat @GOP primary opponents (@tedcruz) & @HillaryClinton🤨1/ nytimes.com/2018/10/08/us/…
Gates wasn't interested in Psy Group b/c other Trump aides oversaw social media. George Nader & Joel Zamel (Psy Group owner) met w/Don Jr & offered to help *THROW THE ELECTION* at an Aug'16 meeting arranged by Erik Prince‼️
George Birnbaum (Arthur Finkelstein protégé/@GOP consultant who worked for Netanyahu & other Israeli officials) initially pitched Gates on using social media influence/manipulation to sway @GOP delegates toward Trump.🤨 3/
🔥@GOP operative Peter Smith raised >$100,000 to pay #Russian🇷🇺hackers to find Clinton’s emails. 10 days after telling his story to the @WSJ, he committed suicide, yet a friend spoke w/him about a new project hours before his death & says he was “excited.” wsj.com/articles/gop-o…
Smith continued his quest for HRC’s emails *after* the US warned of #Russian🇷🇺interference & went to extraordinary lengths to ensure secrecy, communicating via saved DRAFT (unsent) emails in a shared Gmail account.🤨
🔥One sent email said the >$100k in donations were to be sent to a DC-based scholarship fund for **Russian students**👉🏼“This $100k total with the $50k received from you (Smith) will allow us to fund the Washington Scholarship Fund for the Russian students for the promised $150K.”
We Democrats realize that you are in a tough re-election battle, but backing #Kavanaugh only brings you more scorn from the @GOP and erodes your much-needed support from @TheDemocrats base.
Connie Chung to Dr. Ford: “I, too, was sexually assaulted—not 36 years ago but ~50 years ago. I kept my dirty little secret to myself. Silence for 5 decades...The exact date & year are fuzzy. But details of the event are vivid—forever seared in my memory.” washingtonpost.com/amphtml/opinio…
Connie Chung: “Christine, I, too, am terrified as I reveal this publicly. I can’t sleep. I can’t eat. Can you? If you can’t, I understand. I am frightened, I am scared, I can’t even cry.”😰
Chung: “I wish I could forget this truthful event, but I cannot because it is the truth. I am writing to you b/c I know that exact dates, exact years are insignificant. We remember exactly what happened to us & who did it to us. We remember the truth forever.”
Charles Ludington, a former varsity basketball player & friend of #Kavanaugh at @Yale plans to deliver a statement to the @FBI field office in Raleigh on Monday detailing **violent drunken behavior** by Kavanaugh in college. 1/
Ludington says #Kavanaugh initiated a fight that led to the ARREST of a friend: “When Brett got drunk, he was often belligerent & aggressive...” 2/
“On one of the last occasions I purposely socialized with Brett, I witnessed him respond to a semi-hostile remark, not by defusing the situation, but by throwing his beer in the man’s face and starting a fight that ended with one of our mutual friends in jail.”😳 3/
Rod Rosenstein suggested last year that he secretly record Trump to expose "chaos" consuming the administration & discussed recruiting cabinet members to invoke the #25thAmendment.
Will Trump use this as an excuse to fire Rosenstein⁉️
Rosenstein made his remarks about the #25thAmendment & secretly recording Trump in meetings & conversations w/other DOJ & FBI officials. Several people (briefed either on the events themselves or on memos written by FBI officials, including McCabe) described the episodes.🤨
Rosenstein reportedly told McCabe that he might be able to persuade Jeff Sessions & John Kelly to mount an effort to invoke the #25thAmendment.
All of these incidents allegedly occurred around the time that @Comey was fired. Rosenstein was very distressed & felt he was used.🤔
