She is sort of a celebrity and was a journo for News Corp (Murdoch) Heat Street (political muckraking rag paper where she published a lot of not so well-sourced gaffes apparently), so I take what she writes with a grain of salt (rightwing bent) but she seems to openly critique actions by Trump and Putin, and seems to be following the stories on Putin influence in the UK and Europe very closely.

Breitbart flipping HATES her, so that is saying something.

Proof that screenshot of flight info in tweet is in fact Dmitry Rybolovlev plane:

Owner: Dmitry Rybolovlev
Registration: M-KATE
Type: Airbus 319-133(CJ)
Year: 2012
Seats: 25
Value: US$ 90 million
Owners company: Ural Kali
More info: http://www.superyachtfan.com/yacht-anna.html
Dmitry Rybolovlev is the owner of an Airbus A319 business jet. Rybolovlev is a Russian billionaire. He controlled Uralkali, one of the world's largest producers of potash fertilizers. In 2010 Rybolovlev sold his shares in Uralkali for USD 6.5 billion to Suleiman Kerimov. In December 2011, Rybolovlev acquired two thirds of the French-side football club AS Monaco. Dmitry Evgenevich Rybolovlev is also the owner of a large yacht named Anna, his daughter.

http://www.private-jet-fan.com/russian_jet_owners.html

And 45's known dealing with him:

"In 2008 Ekaterina Rybolovlev's trust bought the 18 bedroom Maison de L'Amitié in Palm Beach, Florida, from the American businessman Donald Trump.[61][64] Amidst concerns during his campaign about rubbing shoulders with Russian officials, Trump has claimed that the sale of Maison de L'Amitié, which he purchased for $40 million and sold to Rybolovlev for $100 million, is the only dealing he has done with a Russian.[65]"

That he bought from Trump in 2008 for 100 million. Last year he got permission from city to tear down the house and presumably he is planning to build a new home there.

I previously posted that I didn't see what all the excitement is about since this guy has reason to be flying in to Palm Beach that don't necessarily involve Trump.

But I have since read that this guy is reported to be involved in the secretive 19.5 % deal by Rosneft oil mentioned in the Steele dossier. And now we find out that Trump and WH have known for weeks from Justice Dept. that Flynn's lying about phone call to Russian ambassador has been discovered and being investigated.

but pull the thread on this:




Apparently, his plane crossed paths with trump's three times during the campaign. (Click on the tweet. John Brownlow states they crossed paths in Las Vegas and Concord. Louise Mensch replies to tweet and adds Charlotte, NC.)

I've been following Louise Mensch for awhile, and I don't know what to make of her. She has, however, provided proof on twitter that trump and Rybolovev's planes have crossed paths a suspicious number of times.

24. As an aside, this is the Dan Scavino referenced further down the thread:

Playing golf with 45 and Abe


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Scavino




Scavino started with Trump from the very beginning, in June 2015. In October 2016, Trump appointed Scavino as director of social media for his presidential campaign. Scavino traveled for 18 months with the President, managing Trump's Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram social media platforms. In addition, Scavino managed his social platforms after creating the Trump train. Over the July 4, 2016 weekend, controversy arose when Trump's Twitter account posted an image selected by Scavino of Hillary Clinton with a text in the shape of a Star of David calling her the "Most Corrupt Candidate Ever"; said image had originally appeared on an anti-Semitic, white supremacist message board. Trump's team defended its use saying that the star was a "sheriff's badge", before eventually deleting it and posting a new picture with a circle replacing the star.[2]

After the campaign

On December 22, 2016 Scavino was announced to be White House Director of Social Media under President Donald Trump.[1]



Loyal to the end, that 45 is...
