Interesting Nov. 2016 tweet from woman who escorted Trump around Moscow in 2013

This was posted the day after Trump was elected:





English translation:



Waiting for a business lunch exactly 3 years ago 9/11/2013 Then they discussed real estate, Obama, the influence of social media, twitter @ realDonaldTrump




Alferova, along with her then-husband Artem Klyushin, were good friends with Aras and Emin Agalarov, who hosted the 2013 Miss Universe pageant in Moscow and who later arranged for the infamous June 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Don Jr, Jared and Paul Manafort.

Alferova and Klyushin (who is either an oligarch or connected with oligarchs, and also has connections with the Russian government) were constantly photographed at Trump's side while he was in Moscow.



Klyushin is also reportedly close with Konstantin Rykov, the Russian "troll master" and former parliamentarian for Putin's party who bragged on Facebook just days after the election about running a social media influence campaign for Trump utilizing Cambridge Analytica data.

Interesting how Alferova (who shortly after meeting Trump in Moscow in 2013 would begin pushing Trump as a presidential candidate long before he officially announced) points out "the influence of social media, twitter" when it comes to Trump, as well as noting that politics (i.e. President Obama) was a topic of discussion when Trump went to Moscow.

The little breadcrumbs these guys leave.....

Would you believe that this is all simply an amazing coincidence?

Follow up question:

Would Mueller believe this is an amazing coincidence?

Look so pale and sweaty?

He looks like he's seen a ghost. Maybe he thought Trump was one of the walking dead

If you mention his name on Twitter, or comment on a story about him, he'll add you as a follower.

I'm not joking.

Seth Abramson has discussed him, and then suddenly dozens of people who commented on Seth's posts have reported that he's started following them.

I'm thinking it's an attempt at intimidation.

Here's a story on this:

At the top of the first photo dated 9 November 2013 it reads: “Donald Trump is concerned about Obama again. I’m getting some work done.”

Interesting, the man is in Moscow for a beauty pageant yet he’s obsessing over Obama so much that his hosts are taking notice.
