Nader told investigators the #Seychelles meeting was set up IN ADVANCE so that a "representative of the Trump transition" could meet w/a #Russian🇷🇺emissary to discuss "future relations" btwn the countries.🤨 3/
Of course, Erik Prince LIED to the House Intel Cmte, when he testified that the #Seychelles meeting was a "chance encounter" and was not a planned discussion of US-#Russia🇷🇺 relations.🙄 4/
Prince told House Intel: “...one of the entourage says, ‘Hey, by the way, there’s this Russian guy that we’ve dealt with in the past. He’s here also to see someone from the Emirati delegation. And you should meet him, he’d be an interesting guy for you to know..."🤨 5/
Prince claims he travelled ALL THE WAY to the #Seychelles for a one-hour meeting w/the Emirates, then "just happened" to have an "unexpected" meeting w/Dmitriev, who runs the #Russian-state investment fund⁉️
Yeah, right.🙄 6/

Prince implausibly testified that the Emiratis somehow "just happened" to know that Dmitriev would "just happen" to be chilling in the bar after dinner.🙄 7/
Prince also implausibly claimed that he recognized Dmitriev by Googling him (i.e., no introduction was made), and that he didn't know that the Russian-state investment fund (RDIF) was under #sanctions.🤨 8/
Prince said he & Dmitriev "chatted on topics ranging from oil and commodity prices to how much his country wished for resumption of normal trade relations w/the USA.”
DING. DING. DING.🛎️
Although Prince denied it, they discussed #sanctions = "normal trade relations"‼️ 9/
🔥LIAR🔥
We *know* that Prince did NOT "just happen" to meet w/the Kremlin's representative in the #Seychelles, and he didn't just run into him at the bar, and they DID discuss #sanctions.
George Nader was THERE, and he's telling ALL to Mueller.😎 10/
Event better, although Nader’s witness account is considered key evidence — it is NOT the only evidence — about what transpired in the #Seychelles.😎
Although Prince had no "formal" role w/the Trump campaign or transition, according to people familiar with the #Seychelles meeting, Prince presented himself as an unofficial ENVOY for Trump to the high-ranking Emiratis who arranged his meeting w/the #Russian🇷🇺. 12/
Today's report offers *yet more* evidence of the MASSIVE #conspiracy between #Russia🇷🇺 and Trump for help in throwing the election in return for dropping #sanctions.
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.🤔
