ROSNEFT—It’s The #TrumpRussiaConspiracy that put Trump in office.
Eat it. Sleep it. Until you learn it.
Qatar bought Rosneft with a right of repurchase by Russia.
Why did that happen after the blockade?—
Ask Kushner. inquisitr.com/4816117/jared-…
2) ROSNEFT—Donnie’s Conspiracy
“Kushner received a massive and badly needed $184 million loan from Qatar after he backed a United States blockade against the country.” @jonathanvankin
3) ROSNEFT—Donnie’s Conspiracy
“..Qatar was also a buyer in the Rosneft deal, in which the state-owned Russian oil mega-firm sold off 19.5 percent of its shares to a company owned in part by the government of Qatar..”
4) ROSNEFT—Donnie’s Conspiracy
Qatar has been “an ally in the United States war against Middle East terrorists, and where a crucial U.S. military base has been located since 2003.“
5) ROSNEFT—Donnie’s Conspiracy
“the Trump administration backed a Saudi Arabian blockade of the country — a move that was encouraged and supported by Kushner.” @jonvankin
6) ROSNEFT—Donnie’s Conspiracy
“Just weeks before the blockade, Kushner’s family sought substantial financial backing from the Qatari government for the Kushner company’s financially strapped building at 666 5th Avenue..But the Qataris rejected the Kushner proposal.”
7) ROSNEFT—Donnie’s Conspiracy
“After the blockade, a Qatari-linked company, Apollo Group, granted the Kushners’ business the $184 million loan.”
8) ROSNEFT—Donnie’s Conspiracy
“...the funds for Kushner’s loan may be linked to the Rosneft deal — a deal that forms a key part of the dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele that outlines deep ties between Trump and Russia.” @jonvankin
9) ROSNEFT—The Conspiracy
“The U.S. changes its political posture against Qatar at Kushner’s urging.... [Fortunately, no war resulted.]Several months later, the Qatar-backed Apollo Group delivers $184 million to Kushner.”
Vankin quoting Shugerman
10) “The dossier alleges that Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page brokered the deal with Rosneft, meeting with the company’s CEO Igor Sechin during a trip to Moscow in 2016 when Page was still a member of the campaign.” @jonvankin
11) “The deal, according the allegations in the dossier, was tied to an agreement that funds from the sale would be secretly transferred to Trump in exchange for a pledge to ease economic sanctions on Russia.“
12)ROSNEFT—The Conspiracy
“And a short time after the Rosneft deal went through in December of 2016, Kushner held a clandestine meeting in Trump Tower with Sergey Gorkov, chair of Russia’s state-owned Vnesheconombank, also known as VE Bank..” @jonvankin
13) ROSNEFT—The Conspiracy
“VE Bank is under U.S. sanctions and would be one of the Russian institutions and individuals who would benefit from an easing of those sanctions.” @jonvankin
14) ROSNEFT—The Conspiracy
“Rosneft boss Igor Sechin, another close Putin associate, is also under U.S. sanctions. Page denies the allegations in the Steele Dossier that he met with Sechin and brokered the massive Rosneft deal..”
15) “The bottom line is that all this new Kushner news connects more dots in the Steele dossier’s core allegation: that there may have been a quid-pro-quo of Russian oil money for Trump policy change on sanctions.” @jonvankin quoting Shugerman

Trump Knows Why Putin Wants Him To Declassify Our Intel Secrets About Sources And Methods.
Nunes gives cover to Trump by saying @GOP needs to see FBI efforts to “Frame” Trump and Russia.
But, Putin is FSB. He wants our Intel Agencies crippled.
2) Putin murders Western Intelligence Agents and Sources.
If Trump declassifies Sources, our overseas human assets will disappear or die.

Trump Dismantles FBI CounterIntelligence To The Benefit Of Vladimir Putin And FSB
“Trump has relentlessly attacked these FBI and Justice Department officials as dishonest “Democrats” engaged in a partisan “witch hunt” led by the special counsel.” theatlantic.com/amp/article/56…
2) “Trump’s latest obsession is with Bruce Ohr, a career Justice Department official who spent years investigating Russian organized crime and corruption—an expertise he shared with another Trump target named Christopher Steele...”
3)”Trump’s fixation with seeing Ohr ousted from the Justice Department could be perceived..as an attack on someone with deep knowledge of the shady characters..including Semion Mogilevich, the Russian mob boss, and Oleg Deripaska, a Russian aluminum magnate close to Putin..”
Socialism—
A name reserved for liberals and progressives by Republicans meant to be disparagingly disgusting because it includes welfare for poor people. Ignorantly, it gets confused with communism.
2) DemocraticSocialism—
A term mistakenly associated with Scandanavian countries because they have a form of welfare state within a complex economy. Bernie Sanders adopts this label to avoid being called socialist.
3) Nordic capitalism/social democracy—
A comprehensive welfare state& collective bargaining at nat’l level w/high percentage of workforce unionized,while being based on economic foundations of free market capitalism,w/higher standard of living than USA& people generally happier.
#IDedicateThisWeekTo Edgar Mowrer, Pulitzer Prize winning international and war correspondent, who warned the world about Hitler& Mussolini, at risk to himself.
He was a beacon of truth, when the free press was under attack.
As did Hitler, Trump would have called him Fake News.
"Like other newsmen, I was crazy to see all I could... we rented bicycles and pedaled eastward... eager to see what we could of the recent battlefields.... When we finally arrived, I realized with delight that we were at the headquarters of the French Fifth Army.”

“To the north we heard the faint roar of guns..Before we knew it,we were under arrest as spies. In answer to my insistence that we were free-born Americans w/papers,...the captain cursed me roundly. Next a major led us to courtyard& locked us up in separate sheds."

For Putin, Trump has betrayed America and executed a strategy to destroy The Alliance Of Western Liberal Democracies that have kept the peace for 70 years.
The Republican Party is co-opted due to corruption.
Attacks on our DOJ and @FBI serve Putin’s strategy to bury us.q
