Showing Original Post only (View all)You guys, the Abramson Steele Dossier thread gives the SMOKING GUN! It's not getting enough notice! [View all]
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/995853600554405889.htmlI know it's hard to follow, but please do follow it. Because it answers all the Russia questions and makes all the connections.
It has been posted here a few times, but I'm posting it again. Because it should become a bible to all of us!
Steele's dossier says Putin gave Trump a brokerage fee from the sale of 19% of RosneftRussia's oil giant. Today @MichaelAvenatti said a top agent of QIAwhich bought the Rosneft stockwas secretly at Trump Tower 48 hours after the sale.

2/ @MichaelAvenatti says the man belowmeeting with Michael Cohen and Michael Flynn at Trump Toweris Ahmed Al-Rumaihi, the head of Qatar Investments (a $100 billion division of sovereign wealth fund Qatar Investment Authority). QIA bought 19.5% of Rosneft on December 10, 2016.
3/ It has been assumed thatif the Steele Dossier's intel is accuratethe reason the Dossier says the Rosneft sale was of 19% but the amount of Rosneft bought was 19.5% is that the additional 0.5% was transferred to Trump as a brokerage fee. A 0.5% cut would be over $282 million.
4/ @MichaelAvenatti further directs our attention to a claim made by Al-Rumaihi to a third partyattested to under oath by that third partyto the effect that Al-Rumaihi had previously *successfully* bribed Michael Flynn, Trump's top national security advisor during the campaign.

And it goes on. In jaw dropping detail.
I can't figure out why this is not the big headline in every media source, and the lead story in every newscast!
