THREAD: George Nader, the Lebanese-American who arranged the #Seychelles meeting, has been granted IMMUNITY by Mueller in exchange for his cooperation w/Mueller‼️
Buh-bye, Erik Prince & the rest of Team🇷🇺Treason‼️😎 1/
Nader ARRANGED the #Seychelles meeting *in advance* btwn Erik Prince & #Russian🇷🇺oligarch Kirill Dmitriev to arrange the secret backchannel btwn Trump & Putin.🤨
Nader also ATTENDED.🤗
So much for Prince’s “chance meeting in the bar” LIE‼️🙄 2/

Nader worked for worked for *more than a year* to turn Elliott BROIDY (a top #RNC & Trump fundraiser) into “an instrument of influence” on TRUMP for the rulers of Saudi Arabia & the UAE‼️ 3/

Mueller now has *hundreds of pages of correspondence* btwn Nader and Broidy that reveal “an active effort to cultivate Trump” on behalf of #SaudiArabia and the UAE.🤨4/
Nader and Elliott Broidy pushed the WH to fire Rexxon, be more “confrontational” w/Iran & Qatar, and repeatedly pressed Trump to meet privately outside the WH w/UAE’s leader.🤔
Rexxon WAS fired, and Trump has been tough toward both Iran and Qatar.🤨 5/
As if bribery wasn’t enough, Nader also kissed Broidy’s butt, telling him “how well you handle Chairman,” a reference to Trump, and told Broidy that he advised the rulers of Saudi Arabia & UAE about “the Pivotal Indispensable Magical Role you are playing to help them.”🤢🤮 8/
NYTimes *saw* documents showing Nader’s cultivation of Broidy👉🏼shows how Saudi Arabia & UAE sought to *BUY* influence w/Trump.🤨
We already *knew* from the #RussianLawyer🇷🇺meeting that Trump was “open for business” w/#Russia. Now, we have evidence of MORE #corruption.🤬 9/
🔥Nader was called back from abroad to testify AGAIN.🤨
Mueller already asked about Nader’s contacts w/top WH officials & about his role in ILLEGALLY funneling UAE money to Trump’s campaign👉🏼Mueller likely is probing the *role of foreign money in the Trump administration*. 10/
🔥This NEW evidence shows that Nader also served as intermediary for Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman (MbS), who met w/Trump YESTERDAY at the beginning of a US tour to meet w/political & business leaders.🤨
Documents — emails, business proposals & contracts — were provided by an “anonymous group” critical of Broidy’s advocacy of US foreign policies in the Middle East.😎
Meaning: #Qatar👉🏼target of crippling economic blockade by Saudis/UAE.🤨 13/

NYTimes showed Broidy copies od his emails. Broidy claimed he couldn’t confirm their authenticity b/c they were only printouts & not the original emails.🙄
Broidy’s spokesman believes the emails were stolen by hackers working for Qatar.😎 14/
Early in Trump‘s reign of terror, Broidy & Nader were gleeful about their successful effort to block a top Pentagon position for Anne Patterson, a former ambassador to #Egypt whom the Emiratis and Saudis have long criticized.😳
THEY SOLD OUR COUNTRY FOR CASH‼️🤬 15/
#SHOCKER: Trump has sided w/Saudi Arabia & UAE against his own corrupt Cabinet — including against #Qatar.🙄
Trump also is more hawkish toward #Iran than either his Cabinet or Obama, threatening to “rip up” the Iran nuclear deal.🤨 16/
Broidy emailed Nader a spreadsheet outlining a proposed DC lobbying & PR campaign against Qatar & the Muslim Brotherhood in #Egypt. The proposed total cost was $12.7 million.
Broidy’s pals claim the plan was drafted by a 3rd party & only some provisions were carried out.🙄 17/
Nader paid Broidy $2.7 million for “consulting, marketing & other advisory services” to help pay for conferences at 2 DC think tanks that heavily criticized #Qatar & the Muslim Brotherhood.🤨
No matter your political views, this is #corruption‼️🤬 18/

These think tanks either PROHIBITED donations from foreign governments that are not democracies or barred donations from all foreign governments, so Nader’s role as an adviser to the UAE may have raised concerns had he donated directly.🤨
Wanna guess what they did⁉️ 19/
They LAUNDERED the cash, of course.🙄
Nader’s payment was made by an UAE-based company he controlled (GS Investments) to a shady Vancouver firm (Xieman International) controlled by Broidy.🤨 20/

This scam was SO profitable for Broidy that documents appear to show a possible agreement to share the profits w/Nader for his business w/theSaudis & Emiratis👉🏼shows Nader’s integral role in helping Broidy negotiate for the lucrative security contracts.🤨 21/
Broidy says Nader “is not a shareholder, officer, director or employee of any of my companies. He has not been paid any origination fee or any other fees in connection with these matters.”
Just like Trump w/#Russia, we want to know how Nader bankrolled Broidy‼️😎 22/
As Broidy prepared to meet w/Trump, Nader pressed him to line up a private meeting *outside the WH* btwn Trump & the UAE leader of the United Arab Emirates, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed (MbZ), whom he referred to as “Friend.”🤨 23/
*Just 6 days later*, Broidy did EXACTLY that👉🏼repeatedly pressed Trump to meet w/UAE’s MbZ in a “quiet” setting *outside the WH* — perhaps in NY or NJ — according to a detailed report on the meeting that Broidy sent to Nader shortly afterward.🤨
NSA McMaster *blocked* Broidy’s CORRUPT request for the “offsite” UAE meet.😎
Broidy’s memo to Nader about his Trump meeting on Oct 6 reported that he .*personally urged Trump to fire Rexxon*, whom the Saudis and Emiratis saw as insufficiently tough on Iran & Qatar.🤨 26/
I am NO fan of Rexxon AT ALL, but it is MUCH MORE concerning that Trump allowed our country to be PURCHASED by the highest bidder for his affections‼️🤬 27/

Nader planned to attend a gala at Mar-a-Lago to celebrate the anniversary of Trump’s inauguration, and he & Broidy were considering a trip to Saudi Arabia to try to sell a $650 million contract w/Broidy’s security company.🤢🤮 28/
Friends, this saga of a story is YUGE for multiple reasons. Nader *clearly* can testify about Erik Prince’s role in arranging the illicit backchannel btwn Putin & Trump in the #Seychelles b/c HE WAS THERE‼️ 30/
Nader also has LOTS of dirt on how Trump was *easily* bought off w/promIses of DONATIONS by one of the BIGGEST #Republican fundraisers in exchange for manipulating US foreign policy‼️🤬 31/
This is also HORRIBLE news for Team🇷🇺Trump because Nader arranged and ATTENDED the #Seychelles meeting to arrange the secret backchannel btwn Trump and Putin, where dropping #sanctions was discussed‼️
“If it’s what you say, I love it.”🤣 33/
Bad news: Trump was “open for business” with ANY country willing to pay.🤬
Good news: Team🇺🇸Mueller is rolling up ALL of these CORRUPT crooks, and has MULTIPLE cooperating witnesses‼️🤗
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.🤔
