Why did UK Russian Ambassador discuss Sen Jeff Sessions role in cabinet w/ Arron Banks (Brexit)?
The ambassador, Alexander Udod is a "suspected Russian intelligence officer."
As things unfold Brexit is showing many of the same parallels as the election here in the US.
About Jeff Sessions:

In August, Mr. Banks had lunch with the Russian ambassador and discussed the Trump campaign. At their lunch after Mr. Trumps victory in November, the two men discussed what role Jeff Sessions, then a senator, might play in the cabinet, according to people who have reviewed the records of his emails.

Here's the original story @ilyamarritz and I did in March 2017 in which we puzzle over the name "John Hannah" Turns out its formed from Manafort's middle name and then-business partner Rick Davis's middle name "John" and "Hannah"

Understanding that name "John Hannah," and the way it linked Manafort and Davis, who the AP had just reported, had a contract with Deripaska, was a major clue that Manafort's New York real estate deals were worth looking into.
NEW: Special counsel eyeing Russians granted unusual access to Trump inauguration parties - ABC News
https://twitter.com/ABCInvestigates/status/1012361593122951175
Several billionaires with deep ties to Russia attended exclusive, invitation-only receptions during Donald Trumps inauguration festivities, guest lists obtained by ABC News show.
These powerful businessmen, who amassed their fortunes following the collapse of the Soviet Union -- including one who has since been since been sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department -- were ushered into events typically reserved for top donors and close political allies and were given unprecedented access to Trumps inner circle.
Their presence has attracted the interest of federal investigators probing Russian efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election, three sources with knowledge of the matter said.
Matthew Olsen, a former senior national security official who now serves as an ABC News consultant, said their presence at inaugural events is very concerning.

Fuck these Republican traitors for selling our Democracy.
Wait a minute! Justice Kennedy, Thiel, the Kushners, 666 5th Ave, & Deutsche Bank?

This seems really quite awkward.
(Again, the FBI arrested a state Supreme Court justice last week. Your position will not protect you if your conduct crosses a line.)
Justin Kennedy is doing some very interesting financing in interesting places, apparently with Peter Thiel.

Guys. Um. I'm beginning to think that maybe Kennedy wasn't alone in his decision to retire. But that's me. 🤣😎 </>
NEW -- Erik Prince oversaw projects w/Russian arms dealer & partner Dmitriy Streshinskiy in Azerbaija
https://twitter.com/meekwire/status/1011268517591740416
Special Counsel Robert Mueller is digging deeper into Trump ally and Blackwater founder Erik Prince, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the matter.
Prince, Americas most famous private military contractor, acknowledged last week that he cooperated with Muellers investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election after falling under scrutiny amid questions about an alleged effort to establish a backchannel between the Trump administration and the Kremlin, something Prince has vehemently denied.
ABC News has since learned that Mueller is also reviewing Princes communications. In response to questions from ABC News, a spokesperson for Prince released a statement noting that Prince has provided Mueller with total access to his phone and computer.
As Mr. Prince told the Daily Beast he has spoken voluntarily with Congress and also cooperated completely with the Special Counsels investigation, including by providing them total access to his phones and computer, the spokesperson said. Mr. Prince has a lot of opinions about the various investigations, but there is no question that they are important and serious, and so Mr. Prince will keep his opinions to himself for now and to let the investigators do their work. All we will add is that much of the reporting and speculation about Mr. Prince in the media is inaccurate, and we are confident that when the investigators have finished their work, we will be able to put these distractions to the side.
