THREAD:

I've reviewed Senate Intel's Vol. 5 report on Russian interference & am concerned something important was missed:

On 6/1/16, former Rep Bob McEwen & Rep Robert Aderholt met w/ two Manafort-connected Ukrainian oligarchs cited multiple times in the report. /1

@MarkWarner
These 6/1/16 meetings--not addressed in Senate Intel's report--were between Aderholt & Rinat Akhmetov (cited 28 times in the report) followed immediately by a meeting between Aderholt/McEwen & Borys Kolesnikov (cited 12 times in the report & Akhmetov's friend since childhood). /2
The reason these 6/1/16 meetings are important is b/c they occurred *shortly after* Gates & Manafort began sharing internal polling data w/ Konstantin Kilimnik.

Gates believed Kilmnik may have been sharing the polling data w/ Ukrainian oligarchs, incl. Akhmetov & Kolesnikov. /3
One matter at the heart of Senate Intel's inquiry was, why did Kilimnik want the Trump's internal polling data & what did he do with it after receiving it?

No definitive answer was ascertained.

But did Senate Intel ever question McEwen & Aderholt?

There would be reason to.../4
Former Ohio Rep Bob McEwen is the Executive Director of the Council for National Policy and, as my thread shows, has a close relationship with Trump and Pence.

He's not just some scrub who gets no love from T (... or P). /5 https://twitter.com/visionsurreal/status/1094042595003678720?s=19
Furthermore, there is *STRONG* evidence supporting Russians had a database of 191 MILLION American voter records tied to McEwen as far back as Nov 2015.

This would be the database discovered by @VickerySec in Dec 2015 belonging to United in Purpose. /6 https://twitter.com/visionsurreal/status/1197956771597475840?s=19
McEwen is a director of United in Purpose and, as reported by @jeffstone500 of @CyberScoopNews in Nov 2019, UiP's database appears it was offered for sale over now-incarcerated Russian hacker Aleksei Burkov's elite cybercrime forum in Nov 2015. /7 https://twitter.com/visionsurreal/status/1197957163571920899?s=19
Manafort keyed Kilimnik in on which states were the Trump campaign's targets.

Equipped with Trump's polling data and UiP's voter data on 191M, Russia would have had a good idea which Americans to target in which states with certain messaging based on their political leanings. /8
So, my question to you-- @MarkWarner of the Senate and @RepAdamSchiff of the House--is:

Knowing oligarchs Akhmetov & Kolesnikov are tied to Manafort and Kilimnik, have you brought in McEwen & Aderholt to question them on their respective meetings w/ these oligarchs on 6/1/16? /9x
Dear @MarkWarner & @RepAdamSchiff:

P.S. - Support for former Rep Bob McEwen and Rep Robert Aderholt meeting on 6/1/16 with Manafort-connected, pro-Russia Ukrainian oligarchs Rinat Akhmetov and Borys Kolesnikov is detailed thoroughly in this thread: https://twitter.com/visionsurreal/status/1094042595003678720?s=19
@threader_app - please compile, Gates PDF-style.
BONUS: Trump is with Bob McEwen's Council for National Policy today as we speak.

I'm telling you... McEwen is no scrub. He gets much love from T & P.
