Regarding my Reply #1056:
Per Seth Abramson (see also his book "Proof of Collusion"): "Kushner says no to Zamel, sends him to Trump Jr.; Trump Jr. says yes to Zamel, sends him to UAE/Saudi Arabia for payment; Zamel coordinates with Cambridge Analytica, and UAE/Russia coordinate. Bannon, Flynn, Prince, Nader, and Trump Jr. all remain involved.", see also the two attached documents by Seth Abramson and the following related linked article:
Title: "The Dark Truth About Cambridge Analytica’s Ties to Trumpworld"
https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/05/the-dark-truth-about-cambridge-analyticas-ties-to-trumpworldExtract: "A partnership between an Israeli entrepreneur and the Mercer-backed analytics firm may connect two key threads in Robert Mueller’s investigation.
According to The Wall Street Journal, in mid-December 2016, Cambridge Analytica inked a business agreement with Psy-Group, an Israeli company that employed several former Israeli intelligence officials and aimed to shape public opinion through social media. Sources told the Journal that the agreement “outlines a partnership whereby the two firms could cooperate on a case-by-case basis to provide intelligence and social-media services,” and was designed in part to help both companies win government contracts—a potentially lucrative avenue, now that their preferred candidate was in office.

In a video published by British broadcaster Channel 4, former Cambridge Analytica C.E.O. Alexander Nix is overheard explaining tactics his firm had employed, including using bribes and prostitutes to entrap political opponents. “We use some British companies, we use some Israeli companies,” he said in the video, appearing to refer to Psy-Group. “From Israel. Very effective in intelligence gathering.” (Nix, who was fired from the firm in March, has since said he regretted his role in the video, and Cambridge Analytica has said it did not employ the methods he discussed.)
Nor is this the first time Zamel’s name has been mentioned in connection with the Trump campaign. Three months before the 2016 election, a second group convened at Trump Tower to meet with Donald Trump Jr. Those in attendance included George Nader, an emissary for crown princes from both the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia; Blackwater founder Erik Prince; and Zamel. Per The New York Times, Zamel talked up Psy-Group, claiming the company could give Trump “an edge” in his campaign—by that time, his firm had reportedly “drawn up a multi-million-dollar proposal for a social-media manipulation effort to help elect Mr. Trump.” (A lawyer for Zamel said he was not involved in the U.S. election.) The meeting has reportedly drawn the attention of Robert Mueller, whose probe appears to have expanded to encompass any and all foreign influence in the Trump campaign, in addition to potential Russian influence.
It remains unclear whether Zamel’s proposal was ever executed, but after the election, Nader paid Zamel up to $2 million for reasons that are still murky. Zamel has met with Mueller’s team, though his lawyer told the Journal that his client is “not a target” of the special counsel’s investigation. His company’s partnership with Cambridge Analytica may raise more questions than it answers. But at the very least, it begins to illuminate how the Trump Campaign and Psy-Group fit together after that pivotal day at Trump Tower."
