The repeated use of “fairy tale” & insistence on illogic & accusations of xenophobia (which make him & 🇷🇺 the victims) are veryo/fKlys6lBXL
But the biggest tell is this denial!
Milner knew he’d have been denied a BoD seat & thus sought to & succeeded in exerting other in6B7Sili0
Milner didn’t hide his influence—he publicized it—& noone was (too) resistant to letting him buy it despite thfortune.com/2010/10/04/fac…FdbLu
Between the Medvedev visit & Milner’s Silicon Valley pals’ various visits to Russia, to whom is any of this surprisiCLZg
What if young college drop-out Zuck needed the💰 & 🇷🇺 (like many journalists) saw Facebook’s propaganda potentiwired.com/2011/10/mf_mil…hCS0g
And Goldman Sachs is, yet again, a connective thread between Silicon Valley, Wall St, Putin & T-rump. Hope someone pulls on iQoDs
Oddest is that literally none of this—besides the specific bank—is news!
@katiezavadski “F---ing Sith Lord,” “Horrific Leakers,” & “Berserkazoid Craziness”: The Mooch Recalls His Brief Shining Fortnight at the Center of US Politics, by @WilliamCohanvanityfair.com/news/2018/02/t… Wish he’d been asked about🇷🇺sanctions, RDIF & if he now supports what he opposed at #WEF17?
This is something, coming from a guy who missed the birth of his child—& had his lawyer demand a paternity test?
Does suing CNN & forcing a journo to resign for accurate reporting have permanent benefits?
World chess body has Swiss bank accounts frozen after (Putin-linked) president is accused of links to ISIS oil deals telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/02/1… After @Kasparov63 failed to have him removed, maybe Team Spectre decided enough was enough—& this was the only way to take back the org?
As per ⬆️, an excellent post by @katiezavadski, examining RDIF & Dmietiev! And a great thread follows. Hope to see Scaramucci, Thiel & Goldman Sachs looped in, just in time for Davos!
@katiezavadski So T-rump, Scaramucci & Mnuchin are going to #WEF2018. What about Schwarzman, Bonderman, Black & or WEF Young Global Leaders Dmietriev & Thiel? Or Milner? Is there an RDIF reunion scheduled?
Also, out of curiousity, any chess tourneys or events scheduled?
@katiezavadski Wonder if Scaramucci can get another reporter canned for accurately reporting on what he said in public at #WEF, like he did last year? Or were his legal threats to CNN enough to prevent anyone from taking the risk? Are the Mooch & Thiel now press-proof?
