THREAD: the DOJ & FBI are investigating Robert Mercer’s Cambridge Analytica and have sought to question former employees and the BANKS that handled its business‼️ 1/
Prosecutors have questioned potential witnesses in recent weeks, telling them that there is an “open investigation” into #CambridgeAnalytica and “associated U.S. persons.”🔥
US persons, meaning Robert & Rebekah Mercer and “Whiskey Steve” Bannon⁉️🤔 2/
🔥MERCER🔥
The US probe is focused on #CambridgeAnalytica’s **financial dealings**👉🏼investigators have reached out to the Cambridge Analytica’s BANKS.😎
Robert Mercer was the major financial backer, along with prior backer, Vincent Tchenguiz.🤨 3/
🔥One of the prosecutors is the assistant chief of the DOJ’s **securities and financial fraud** division, Brian Kidd, who is being assisted by FBI’s cybercrime team.😎 4/
DOJ prosecutor Kidd traveled to London this month w/another DOJ prosecutor and an FBI agent to interview Christopher Wylie, a former #CambridgeAnalytica employee.
If they’re paying to send *3 people* overseas, I can assure you that DOJ is clearly doing a deep colonoscopy‼️😎5/
NYTimes: “It was not clear whether the investigation is tied to the inquiry being led by Mueller.”
Yeah, right.🙄
Team🇺🇸Mueller questioned at least 2 Cambridge executives last December in DC‼️😎
🔥Repeat: Mueller questioned **at least 2 #CambridgeAnalytica executives** in DC last December.😎
Anyone want to guess who these people are⁉️ 7/
Most likely “suspects” for questioning **in the US** would be Robert & Rebekah Mercer and “Whiskey Steve” Bannon.😉 8/

The #CambridgeAnalytica employee, who anonymously leaked the info about the CA execs being interviewed, claims that Mueller’s inquiry appears to be “perfunctory.”🙄
Yeah, right. Just like the Fox”News” cult claims that Mueller’s #TrumpRussia🇷🇺probe is a “witch hunt.” 9/
UK investigators are examining a range of allegations, including whether CA employees sought to BRIBE foreign officials, destroyed evidence, hacked computers & violated Britain’s Data Protection Act.🔥 10/
Former #CambridgeAnalytica CEO Alexander Nix, Robert & Rebekah Mercer and others launched a new company, #Emerdata, in a rather obvious attempt to “re-brand” their SHADY cyber / political work.🤬 11/
#Emerdata includes Johnson Ko Chun Shun, a Hong Kong financier & partner of ERIK PRINCE.🤨
Ko & Prince run Frontier Services Group, bankrolled by Citic, a Chinese govt-owned group that employs kids of #China’s Communist Party’s elite families‼️🤬 12/
Have ZERO doubt, my friends. Mueller, along with a whole host of international warriors, are coming for these losers who sold our wonderful country for CASH.🤬
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.🤔
