I was entertaining a hypothetical.
Change that subject just as fast as you can, Chris.
I was entertaining a hypothetical.
You clammed up fast on det one.
Actually you clammed up and changed the subject.
They won't be arrested for anything Rudy says.
Now try to change the subject again.
We're about halfway there. Trump has already given marching orders, repeatedly. For some reason, DOJ hesitates to do what he says.
What do you think is happening here?
and my guess is that DB's loan was Russian $100Ms, DB as money launderer
makes sense for DB to have acted as a middle man, DJT burned a lot of banks and a lot of investors in his time. what I don't get is why DB would allow DJT's alleged money laundering to be discovered under any cir stances.
I don't know when mighty DB's serious troubles started, but pocketing $50M or $100 for a Pootin-to-Trash passthru laundering fee might have looked like easy money.
Although DB got bailed out by US Treasury during the Banksters Great Depression, DB also got fined for laundering Russian money

Investigations into the leakers especially within the DOj/FBI. Congress would probably be on the chopping block as well. Don't forget about Huber, and Sessions doesn't leak anything. We wouldn't even know about Huber if Sessions didn't throw us a bone.
I will add Trump is manipulating the media with his negative tweets about Sessions. These guys are working lockstep.
Will they be arrested for things Rudy didn't say, or are you calling nothingburger on Ohr ?
Rudy said they committed crimes.
They won't be arrested for any crime Rudy said they committed.
Do you understand yet, Chris?
Yes or no.
I was just asking for some clarification with your usual innuendo.
Here's Why The FBI And Mueller Are Investigating "Su ious" Transactions By Russian Diplomats
The former Russian ambassador received a salary payment twice as large as past years, and bankers blocked a $150,000 withdrawal.
When BuzzFeed News reported earlier this year on dozens of su ious financial transactions by Russian diplomats living in Washington, Kremlin officials objected with ferocity. A Russian foreign ministry spokesperson denounced the news organization as a “tool of the American intelligence services” and insisted the transactions were purely run of the mill.
But new do ents show that American bank examiners delved deeper into the embassy's financial activity than was previously known — and reveal why
they flagged two of the transactions as su ious.
The first,
made just 10 days after the US presidential election in 2016, was a $120,000 lump-sum check to then-ambassador Sergey Kislyak that was twice as large as any payment he’d received in the previous two years.
The second,
just five days after President Donald Trump’s inauguration, was a blocked attempt to withdraw $150,000 in cash that a bank official feared was meant for Russians the US had just expelled from the country.
In their investigations into 2016 election interference, special counsel Robert Mueller and the FBI are scrutinizing the financial activity by the Russian embassy, according to three federal law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of the matter.
Last November, BuzzFeed News began revealing su ious embassy transactions, including a
$29,000 wire transfer to the embassy's US bank account to “finance election campaign of 2016”;
$325,000 in payments to the Russian Cultural Centre in Washington; and
$2.4 million paid to small home-improvement companies controlled by a Russian immigrant living in Virginia.
But former ambassador Kislyak looms over the Trump-Russia investigation.
After failing to disclose during his confirmation hearings a meeting with Kislyak, Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation.
Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law, discussed with Kislyak setting up a line of communication at the Russian Embassy.
And Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser, pleaded guilty last year to lying to the FBI about multiple calls to Kislyak during the transition.
In mid-2017, as US law enforcement stepped up its investigation of Russian interference, agents turned for help to Citibank, where the embassy was a customer. As bankers trawled through the embassy’s account and those of its diplomats, they hit upon a payment to Kislyak they found su ious.
Ten days after the election, the embassy cut a check to the former ambassador for $120,000.
The check was marked “payroll.” Kislyak deposited the money in his Citibank checking account,
then wired the funds to his account in Russia in two $60,000 installments.

what leakers? what got leaked?
Huber is a mini-Mueller. He'll write a report and make recommendations.
If you don't like what he says in the report, you can always say he was an Obama holdover, and line up the can for another kick.

The Butina/CPAC/NRA Oil Deal Is True To Form
“During her time in the United States, she surrounded herself not only with high-profile American conservatives but also with dubious characters who seemed bent on making a fast buck — and it was not always easy to tell one from the other.
Simple point: there’s no bright line.
They’re often the same people.
That’s why the Russians targeted them in the first place.
Across the board, in their efforts to infiltrate American politics by way of the conservative movement and the GOP, Russian efforts were based on a simple insight:
contemporary conservative politics is notoriously corrupt.
It is no accident that
President Trump now embodies the GOP and what now counts as conservatism.
His corruption, his addiction to the grift, does embody it.
I mean the often legal ways that contemporary conservative politics is dominated by efforts to sell extremism and victimology to conservative political consumers for huge financial returns.
It’s
why they focused so much attention on the NRA in the first place:
openness to corruption is always an indicator for openness to subversion.
The NRA, whatever its role in promoting gun extremism, is also a huge grifting operation.
The Russians knew and know just who they were dealing with.

Sorry, Huber is part of the cover up.
Uranium One BOOM lawyer said so on the Grecian Formula infomercial.
When's the last time you screeched about Uranium One, TSA?
that's not clear:
https://www.ajc.com/news/national/wh...ce-department/I am confident that Mr. Huber’s review will include a full, complete, and objective evaluation of these matters in a manner that is consistent with the law and the facts,” Sessions wrote. “I receive regular updates from Mr. Huber and upon the conclusion of his review, will receive his recommendations as to whether any matters not currently under investigation require further resources, or whether any merit the appointment of a Special Counsel.”
At best, it's an investigation to determine whether to actually investigate things that Fox News/Trump complained about.
TSA always overeggs the cus
