Will Drumpf Jr be indicted for “attempted collusion”? :lmaoSorry, Darrin -- I missed where you actually stated your conspiracy theory.

Let's see it.

[RandomGuy]

Will Drumpf Jr be indicted for “attempted collusion”? :lmao

Given the nature of the charges already leveled against Manafort et al, and the web of financial crimes, bank fraud or money laundering of some sort will be more likely, akin to what is being leveled at Manafort.

Given the mini-Trumps aren't the brightest bulbs in the pack, and the shadiness of Trumps real-estate dealings, financial crimes seems vastly more likely, with a good possibility that those crimes will involve Russian money.

[RandomGuy]

Will Drumpf Jr be indicted for “attempted collusion”? :lmao


As a close business partner, Yohai was privy to many of Manafort’s financial dealings, according to the two people familiar with the matter and court filings in the bankruptcies of four Los Angeles properties in 2016. In addition to co-investing in California real estate, the two cooperated in getting loans for property deals in New York, Manafort’s indictments show.


Mueller sent a team of prosecutors to interview Yohai last June, asking him about Manafort’s relationship with Trump, his ties to Russian oligarchs, and his borrowing of tens of millions of dollars against properties in New York, Reuters reported in February, citing people with knowledge of the matter.

Repugs LOVE to refer to THEIR Watergate scandal

‘Bigger than Watergate’ :lol : Trump joins push by allies to expose role of an FBI source

President Trump’s allies are waging an increasingly aggressive campaign to undercut the Russia investigation by exposing the role of a top-secret FBI source.

The effort reached new heights Thursday as Trump alleged that an informant had improperly spied on his 2016 campaign

The dispute pits Trump and the Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee against the Justice Department and intelligence agencies,

The stakes are so high that the FBI has been working over the past two weeks to mitigate the potential damage if the source’s identity is revealed

The bureau is taking steps to protect other live investigations that the person has worked on and is trying to lessen any danger to associates if the informant’s identity becomes known

“The prior government did it, but the present government, for some reason I can’t figure out, is covering it up,” :lol

Giuliani said, adding that ( :lol there's a lot of shit Julie Annie can't figure out)

confirmation of an informant could render the Mueller investigation “completely illegitimate.” :lol wishful thinking :lol

A New York Times story (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/16/us/politics/crossfire-hurricane-trump-russia-fbi-mueller-investigation.html)published Wednesday about the beginnings of the Russia probe reported that

at least one government informant met several times with two former Trump campaign advisers, Carter Page and George Papadopoulos.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/bigger-than-watergate-trump-joins-push-by-allies-to-expose-an-fbi-source/2018/05/17/db211542-59ea-11e8-8836-a4a123c359ab_story.html?ncid=newsltushpmgnews__The MorningEmail__051818&noredirect=on&utm_term=.0ba2aef8b274

So the Repug talking point is that the FBI, based on BFI's targets' contacts with Russians, etc, having an FBI mole to figure out what was going on is illegal? :lol

the reverse is ALWAYS true: FBI putting a mole into Dems / goring the Dem ox, would be vehemently defended by Repugs as patriotic, "rule of law", etc :lol

Repugs KNOW their boy Trash is going down, so

they are panicking, desperately shotgunning for anything that will shut down Mueller's "law and order" bulldozer,

esp before the risk of Repugs losing the whore House is realized.

Trump suggests in tweet Justice Dept is 'out to frame' him

President Donald Trump suggested on Friday that the Justice Department spied on his 2016 campaign, quoting a Fox News anchor who said law enforcement is "out to frame him."

Trump tweeted: "Really bad stuff!" :lol Trash always so eloquent!

The suggestion seems intended to undercut the work by special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating Russian interference in the
2016 election.

Last week, the National Review raised the question of a possible FBI spy on Trump's campaign.

In his tweet, Trump quoted Fox Business anchor :lol

David Asman: "Apparently the DOJ put a Spy in the Trump Campaign.

This has never been done before and by any means necessary, they are out to frame Donald Trump for crimes he didn't commit."

3 Notable Things Giuliani Said During His Freewheeling Interview On CNN

1.) On FBI Director Chris Wray’s assertion that the Mueller probe is not a witch hunt: “He’s wrong,” Giuliani said. “I know more about the case than he does.” :lol

2.) On the FBI informant who reportedly met with Trump campaign officials in the run-up to the 2016 election: “I don’t know for sure, nor does the President, that there really was [an informant],” Giuliani said. “We’re told that.” :lol

3.) On Trump’s old accusation that former President Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower: “At one point, the President thought there was a wiretap,” said Giuliani. “We were never notified that he was on a tap,” he added, admitting that there has never been any proof of that claim. :lol

This is the first time (http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2017/mar/21/timeline-donald-trumps-false-wiretapping-charge/) that anyone on Trump’s team has admitted that Trump’s often-repeated smear of Obama was specious.

The Trump-Russia Conspiracy Is Getting Weird, Y’all. A HOLY SHIT Investigation Into WHAT THE FUCK?

Did you read Wonkette’s HILARIOUS BLOGTIMES POST about Donald Trump’s crazy-ass lawyer Marc Kasowitz and his maybe-drunk mean girl emails to somebody who emailed asking him to resign after seeing him on “The Rachel Maddow Show”? Have you been reading this week’s CRAZY NEWS about Donald Trump Jr. and his sexcellent conspiracy meeting with Russian lawyers, spies and hackers? Well, we’ve got a treat for you, because it turns out those two stories are connected!

As we’ve noted before, when Trump hired Kasowitz, it was reported he had BRAGGED to all his pals that he had “played a central role” in getting Donald Trump to fire New York U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara. At the time, it was just kind of a “Meh, maybe he’s just talkin’ shit” sort of thing. But maybe it wasn’t! In his career, Kasowitz, on top of being Donald Trump’s thug lawyer, has represented big state-owned Russian banks. Bharara, meanwhile, was investigating this HUGE case of Russian money laundering when he was fired.

Indeed, in May, a couple months after Trump fired Bharara, the U.S. government settled the case he had been working on all of a sudden, in a move that stunned EVERYONE:


he case aimed to expose how Russian mobsters allegedly stole $230 million and hid some of the cash in New York City real estate. Also sure to come up was the suspicious death of the Russian lawyer who exposed the alleged fraud, though US prosecutors weren’t alleging that the defendants were behind it.

… [L]ate Friday night, federal prosecutors in New York announced they settled the case with Prevezon, the company accused of buying up “high-end commercial space and luxury apartments” with laundered money.[…]

“What most concerns me is: Has there been any political pressure applied in this?” asked Louise Shelley, an illicit finance expert who was set to testify in support of the US government on Tuesday.



The lawyer who died? Sergei Magnitsky, the guy after whom the Magnitsky Act was named. The law was entirely designed to punish the Russians who let Magnitsky die/murdered Magnitsky in prison. In response to the Magnitsky Act, Russia banned Americans from adopting bouncy Russian babies. Heard anything about bouncy Russian babies this week? Us neither.

A whistle-blower in the case, Alexander Peripilichny, collapsed and died while out for a jog in 2012. He was 44. Another lawyer, Nikolai Gorokhov, who was representing the family of Sergei Magnitsky, “fell out a fourth floor window” in March of this year, THE VERY DAY BEFORE he was supposed to go to a Russian court and “present new evidence that he claims support Magnitsky’s findings of a far-reaching conspiracy to defraud the Russian taxpayer.” Back in 2015, Preet Bharara wrote a letter saying he was worried Russia would try to hurt Gorokhov.

Guess which Russian lawyer was fighting on THE OTHER SIDE of that case, representing Prevezon, the Russian company accused of all the money laundering? YOU’LL NEVER GUESS, so we’ll just tell you it was Natalia Veselnitskaya, the Russian lawyer lady who brought her Russian spy hacker pal to meet with Donald Trump Jr. in Trump Tower in June of 2016, CAN YOU EVEN BELIEVE IT? When the Prevezon case was settled, Veselnitskaya said it was “almost an apology from the [U.S.] government” for even bringing the case in the first place. What’s weird, though, besides how ALL OF THIS IS WEIRD, is that, as Kevin Drum notes at Mother Jones, before the case was suddenly settled, it was “not going well for Prevezon.”

Veselnitskaya is a crusader against the Magnitsky Act, and if you’ll remember, Trump Junior’s first explanation for his Russian meeting was that they talked about BOUNCY RUSSIAN BABIES, which Drum explains is basically code for talking about the Magnitsky Act.

When Marc Kasowitz was bragging about how he got Trump to fire Preet Bharara, he reportedly told Trump, “This guy is going to get you.” Wonder what he meant by that! What did Marc Kasowitz know, and when did he know it? We know Trump’s legal team knew about Junior’s Russian meeting weeks ago, but has Kasowitz been in the know for even longer than that?

Lawyer Who Met Don Jr. Was Key Player In High-Profile Money Laundering Case

https://dawm7kda6y2v0.cloudfront.net/uploads/2017/07/natalia-veselnitskaya-2-654x362-1669204.jpg

In July of 2016, Donald Trump, Jr. met a 42-year-old Russian attorney named Natalia Veselnitskaya who had promised him damaging information about then-candidate Hillary Clinton.

One of his father’s contacts, a music publicist named Rob Goldstone, had arranged the meeting as a favor to a client of his, the Azeri real estate developer and pop singer Emin.

Goldstone had worked with the Trumps on the 2013 Miss Universe pageant in Moscow.

There were other reasons to take the meeting, too:

Emin’s father, Aras Agalarov, is the 51st-richest man in Russia (https://www.forbes.com/profile/aras-agalarov/) and an instrumental figure in the President’s aborted foray into Russian real estate: the Moscow tower he tried—and failed—to erect.

Trump Jr. has said he knew absolutely nothing about Veselnitskaya before their meeting, not even her name.

She turned out to use the promise of information that could help his father’s campaign as a pretext to discuss reinstating a popular Russian-American adoption program, according to his version of events. What could be more harmless?

In fact, Veselnitskaya was already a key figure for the defense in one of the most notorious money-laundering scandals in recent memory,

encompassing $230 million in public funds

allegedly stolen from the Russians by a network of corrupt bureaucrats and

routed through ironclad Swiss bank accounts into real estate sales, including some in Manhattan.

And she was accused of lobbying U.S. officials for a Russian NGO that sought to overturn the Russian ban on U.S. adoptions, according to a complaint filed with the U.S. Justice Department and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA).

Clapper admitted the FBI “may have had someone who was talking to them in the campaign,” referring to President Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. He explained away the possibility of an FBI informant spying on the campaign as the bureau was trying to find out “what the Russians were doing to try to substantiate themselves in the campaign or influence or leverage it.”

Obama’s Director of National Intelligence then went on to say, “So, if there was someone that was observing that sort of thing, that’s a good thing.”

Uday was calling Fusion GPS to confirm he had been successfully set up.
but kindly asked them to hold off on releasing this info until 8 months after the election.

as a professional courtesy

[Spurminator]

Why do you think the information came "from inside the campaign"?

The F.B.I. obtained phone records and other documents using national security letters — a secret type of subpoena — officials said. And at least one government informant met several times with Mr. Page and Mr. Papadopoulos, current and former officials said. That has become a politically contentious point, with Mr. Trump’s allies questioning whether the F.B.I. was spying on the Trump campaign or trying to entrap campaign officials.

NYT a few days ago: “Trump is waging war and going to risk the life of an FBI informant”

NYT today: “The informant is Stefan Halper”

The informant, an American academic who teaches in Britain, made contact late that summer with one campaign adviser, George Papadopoulos, according to people familiar with the matter. He also met repeatedly in the ensuing months with the other aide, Carter Page, who was also under F.B.I. scrutiny for his ties to Russia.

The role of the informant is at the heart of the newest battle between top law enforcement officials and Mr. Trump’s congressional allies over the F.B.I.’s most politically charged investigations in decades. The lawmakers, who say they are concerned that federal investigators are abusing their authority, have demanded documents from the Justice Department about the informant.

Law enforcement officials have refused, saying that handing over the documents would imperil both the source’s anonymity and safety. The New York Times has learned the source’s identity but typically does not name informants to preserve their safety.

NYT: “Informants take great risks when working for intelligence services, Christopher A. Wray, the F.B.I. director, testified before Congress on Wednesday. Their identities must not be exposed, he said, hinting at congressional efforts to obtain the name of the source. “The day that we can’t protect human sources is the day the American people start becoming less safe.”


NYT: “The informant offered a $3,000 honorarium for the paper and a paid trip to London, where the two could meet and discuss the research project.

“I understand that this is rather sudden but thought that given your expertise it might be of interest to you,” the informant wrote in a message to Mr. Papadopoulos, sent on Sept. 2, 2016.

Mr. Papadopoulos accepted the offer and arrived in London two weeks later, where he met for several days with the academic and one of his assistants, a young woman.”

[Winehole23]

four decades ago, Halper was responsible for a long-forgotten spying scandal involving the 1980 election (https://www.nytimes.com/1983/07/07/us/reagan-aides-describe-operation-to-gather-inside-data-on-carter.html), in which the Reagan campaign – using CIA officials managed by Halper, reportedly under the direction of former CIA Director and then-Vice-Presidential candidate George H.W. Bush – got caught running a spying operation from inside the Carter administration. The plot involved CIA operatives passing classified information about Carter’s foreign policy to Reagan campaign officials in order to ensure the Reagan campaign knew of any foreign policy decisions that Carter was considering.

[DarrinS]

https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/05/clinton-email-trump-russia-probes-justice-department-double-standards/

NYT Reveals Another Don Jr. Trump Tower Meeting: Gulf Emissary Reportedly Offered Help to Win Election


The emissary, George Nader, told Donald Trump Jr. that the crown princes who led Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates were eager to help his father win election as president.

The social media specialist, Joel Zamel, extolled his company’s ability to give an edge to a political campaign;

by that time, the firm had already drawn up a multimillion-dollar proposal for a social media manipulation effort to help elect Mr. Trump.

The company, which employed several Israeli former intelligence officers, specialized in collecting information and shaping opinion through social media.


Trump Jr. reportedly “responded approvingly” and Nader had met with other Trump campaign officials like Jared Kushner,

though the Timesnotes “it is unclear whether such a proposal was executed, and the details of who commissioned it remain in dispute.”

[Pavlov]

So the FBI has a lifelong Republican check out the following guy employed by the Trump campaign:

1) A guy who has been recruited by Russians before and is suspected of tipping the Russians off that the FBI was investigating that. He also has many Russian contacts and appears eager to do business in Russia.

2) Two guys that are leveraged out the ass to a Russian oligarch and worked as an agent for a pro-Russian government in the Ukraine. The two had been laundering money and defrauding banks for years.

3) A guy who someone else had put on their radar because he looked alarmingly cozy with a Russian woman at an ex-spy summit that was later embroiled in a Russian espionage scandal. This guy also worked as a foreign agent for Turkey, made a paid speech for RT and apparently was planning to kidnap a Trukish national in the United States to return him to Turkey.

And Dennisonistas just think they should have all been left alone.

Former federal prosecutor has advice for Roger Stone: ‘Start thinking about what’s going to happen when you get charged’

Two of Roger Stone’s close associates have now been subpoenaed (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-mueller-subpoena-exclusive/exclusive-special-counsel-subpoenas-another-stone-aide-in-russia-probe-sources-idUSKCN1IJ2MV) and asked to talk about the notorious operative’s work on the 2016 campaign.

Stone himself is still going on cable to deny everything —

he now says the DNC hack he’s accused of knowing about through Russian hackers never even happened (https://www.rawstory.com/2018/05/watch-roger-stone-pulls-tricks-fox-news-interview-denies-dnc-hack-even-happened/).

What does it mean that Stone himself has not yet been called to speak with special prosecutor Robert Mueller?



Nothing good, said two attorneys who went on MSNBC as legal analysts.

“It’s evidence of a methodical approach by Mueller and his prosecutors,” said attorney Lisa Green (https://twitter.com/lisagreen_law). “You want to gather a lot of evidence and work up the chain.”

The Stone matter is at the heart of the original intent, Hill said.

Former U.S. Associate Attorney Daniel Goldman (https://twitter.com/danielsgoldman) who worked in the Southern District of New York office, offered his advice to Stone.

“You need to start thinking about what’s going to happen when you get charged,” he said.

The fact that Stone has not been called while his associates have is an indicator that Stone may simply be indicted before he’s even interviewed

, Goldman said.

“You don’t want to be the last person they speak to,”

he said, telling Stone to go to Mueller and come clean lest they reach out to him right before indictment or,

“they don’t reach out to you, they just charge you.”

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/05/former-federal-prosecutor-advice-roger-stone-start-thinking-whats-going-happen-get-charged/

Stone has been a Repug nasty, dirty, shit-stain-on-America trickster for decades. It would hilarious to see him prison, finally.

The NRA is Holding the Smoking Gun that Connects Trump to Russia

the NRA was hosting an exhibit for a Russian arms manufacturing company. This revelation would raise the eyebrows of anyone concerned with the influence Russia is having on our electoral politics.

Russia wasn’t trying to establish an independent relationship with the Trump Administration. They already had a working relationship with the Trump family through business ties and corporate ventures.

When emails surfaced showing that Russian adversaries were attempting to set up a back channel with the Trump Administration through the NRA, the goal was to take a pre-exiting GOP-Russian political back-channel and connect it to the Trump Administration.

The NRA hosted TulAmmo because it was a way to connect the Trump Administration, the GOP, the NRA, and Russia under one roof. As under this roof, Trump, Pence, sanctioned Russian entities, members of the GOP, and members of the NRA could come together to exchange intelligence, negotiate agreements, and bypass sanctions. Under this roof, Russia and the GOP could connect with the Trump Administration to advance their federal agenda — despite the illegalities of doing so.

2015: The NRA & Russia Continue to Collaborate Post-Sanctions

In 2015, a year after Rostec and Rogozin were placed on sanctions, photos emerged showing prominent members of the NRA and the GOP meeting with the recently sanctioned Dmitri Rogozin and a number of other Russian adversaries in Moscow.

The GOP and the NRA Send Go-Betweens to Moscow

The most prominent political figures that agreed to fly to Moscow to meet with Rogozin and members of his network were former NRA presidents Pete Brownell and David Keene, as well as NRA spokesperson and GOP operative Sheriff David A. Clarke.

But His Emails!: 2016 and Two Attempts to Establish a Trump-Russia Back-Channel

In 2017, two emails from 2016 surfaced that showed at least as many attempts were made to connect Russia to the Trump Administration through the NRA.

The New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/03/us/politics/trump-putin-russia-nra-campaign.html) reported that “a deputy governor of the Russian central bank and key figure in Mr. Putin’s United Russia party, was instructed to make contact with the Trump campaign.”

This deputy governor was Alexander Torshin. A second email was sent directly from the NRA to the Trump campaign through Maria Butina’s business partner and former head of the NRA, Paul Erickson.

Email 1: Rick Clay’s “Backdoor Overture and Invite”

Email 2: Paul Erickson’s “Kremlin Connection”

Despite Mueller’s investigation into the ties between the Trump Campaign and the sanctions placed on Russia by the US Treasury Department, though, the NRA\GOP channel that connects Trump and Russia remains open.

Not only does it remain open, but it grows stronger. It also grows more careless.

The NRA’s Reckless Invitation Provides an Opportunity for Action

The inclusion of TulAmmo at the NRA’s 2018 Annual Convention, and the attendance of Russia state operative Alexey Solovov signals that the NRA, the GOP, and the Trump administration are still serving as a coordinated network working together to shift political behavior in the United States through Congress and the White House.

This relationship also signals that the attempts made by the GOP and the NRA to connect their pre-established political back channels to the Trump Administration were successful, and all targeted entities are complying with requests.

An investigation should also be launched into the financial relationship between the NRA’s Golden Ring of Freedom Club and the Trump Administration’s America First Action SuperPAC.

Special attention should be placed on the relationship between David A. Clarke, Joe Gregory, and Aleksander Torshin.

If money is flowing from sanctioned Russian entities, through the NRA’s Golden Ring of Freedom Club and into the pockets of the Trump Administration

Finally, there are many plays that the Russians may be paying into through the GOP and the NRA. There is evidence that

one of the most significant pay for play scandals involves the White House’s position on gun control policy via Donald Trump himself.

Prior to forming a relationship with the NRA, Donald Trump was known to be pro-gun control. His position changed during his bid for the Presidency.

I was wrong.

I thought Repugs, years ago, were enamored of, and praising autocrat, murderer, man-spreading WHITE Pootin to disrespect, insult Democrat leg-crossing BLACK Obama.

It seems like Pootin has been compromising into treason both the hyper-patriot NRA and Repugs for many years, totally independent of Obama.
