1/ NEW: It has now been confirmed that attorneys from Mueller's office are involved in the super-secret subpoena battle involving a state-owned company from Country A. A new unsealed court filing shows Meisler and Ahmad are handling the case. This is big! -

2/ I have long thought that the company is the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA). It meets all the clues we have so far: it has a US office, it does substantial business in the US, it's state owned, and foreign. My first clue was that Ahmad was working on the case... - 12:42 AM EST 2 Feb 2019
3/ She speaks Arabic and she worked on the Flynn case. A head of QIA, Al-Rumaihi met with Flynn Jr. and Cohen in trump tower in 12/16, and we have photo evidence of that. Al-Rumaihi bragged a year later that he had bribed the Trump administration in a deposition... - 12:42 AM EST 2 Feb 2019
4/ You see, Al-Rumaihi was being sued by Ice Cube's company for $1.2B for failing to fund a new basketball league, and in a court filing, Ice Cube's partner said Al-Rumaihi asked him to tell Bannon that QIA would fund Breitbart since the Mercers dumped him. - 12:42 AM EST 2 Feb 2019
5/ When Ice Cube's partner refused, Al-Rumaihi said "Everyone does it! Do you think Flynn turned down our money?" Anyhow, the Steele dossier says there was a plan to sell 19% of Rosneft to generate a commission for Trump to lift Obama's sanctions. Dec 1 2016, Kush and Flynn ... - 12:42 AM EST 1 Feb 2019
6/ Tried to set up a backchannel to Russia. Then six days later, QIA and GLENCORE buy 19% of Rosneft. 5 days later, Al-Rumaihi meets with Cohen and Flynn at Trump tower. AND GET THIS SHIT: it was confirmed this week that the firm representing the company from country A is... - 12:43 AM EST 2 Feb 2019
7/ Alston & Bird, and while it's true they have represented many Russians in the past, I found out they also represented GLENCORE in the past: Glencore is a Swiss morning company that managed the sale of Rosneft to Qatar. The owner of Rosneft was Sechin, who Carter Page is said - 12:43 AM EST 2 Feb 2019
8/ to have met with during one of his Moscow trips. BUT HERES THE NEW THING!! The other Mueller lawyer on this case is Meisler, and he's the guy who worked on Manafort's case. Manafort was pitched to the Trump campaign by Tom Barrack. AND GET THIS... - 12:43 AM EST 2 Feb 2019
9/ Barrack is being investigated for his fishy deals with QIA. Shortly before the election, Barrack called for a "radical historic shift in the US outreach to the Arab world" and the "brilliant young leaders in UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar." And IF COURSE - 12:43 AM EST 1 Feb 2019
10/ we know how much money Qatar has given to Kush, bailing him out of the Albatross known as 666 5th Ave, where - incidentally - Manafort met with Kilimnik to give his private briefings used to pay his debt to Oleg Deripaska who just had his sanctions lifted by the GOP. - 12:43 AM EST 1 Feb 2019
11/ So for all those reasons, I'm sticking with QATAR INVESTMENT AUTHORITY ("QIA") Which is what I think is hidden under that redaction in this week's court filing. END

PS: I could be TOTALLY WRONG. This is all complete speculation based on a handful of facts. AKA Super Space Beans. I know nothing. But I love guessing <3 -
