BUSTED: Rudy Giuliani caught undermining Trump sanctions against corruption in the Congo
The corruption surrounding President Donald Trump includes close allies lobbying the administration for foreign governments targeted by US sanctions,
Two leaders of Trump’s legal defense were featured in an article. Rudy Giuliani as Trump’s defense attorney and Alan Dershowitz, who frequently defends the administration on cable news.
“The Congolese officials at the reception posed for photos with Mr. Giuliani, and afterward there was some confusion about his connection to the lobbying effort,”
On Sunday, in text messages, Giuliani admitted negotiating a consulting deal in the Democratic Republican of Congo.
Giuliani said, “if I do it, it would only be security consulting” and not lobbying.
“Dershowitz also has a long history of representing clients in transnational legal matters, including sanctions,” The Times noted.
“Dershowitz is advising Dan Gertler, an Israeli billionaire
who was the target of sanctions by Washington last year for using his connections to [Joseph] Kabila, the Congolese president,
to facilitate what the Treasury Department called opaque and corrupt mining and oil deals.'”
Former Trump campaign aide Bryan Lanza has lobbied to delay sanctions against Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska.

Extremist, dominionist Christian indoctrination / Bible humping has fried Pence's brain, like it has for so many others.
Actually, I think Bible humping found little to work with between Pence's ears. An easy victim. Racist Indiana should be proud.
Happy trails to you, Genl K

Memo: FBI recommended Michael Flynn not have lawyer present during interview, did not warn of false statement consequences
Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, who arranged the bureau's interview with then-national security adviser Michael Flynn at the White House on Jan. 24, 2017 — the interview that ultimately led to Flynn's guilty plea on one count of making false statements — suggested Flynn not have a lawyer present at the session, according to newly-filed court do ents. In addition, FBI officials, along with the two agents who interviewed Flynn, decided specifically not to warn him that there would be penalties for making false statements because the agents wanted to ensure that Flynn was "relaxed" during the session.
The new information, drawn from McCabe's account of events plus the FBI agents' writeup of the interview — the so-called 302 report — is contained in a sentencing memo filed Tuesday by Flynn's defense team.
Citing McCabe's account, the sentencing memo says that shortly after noon on Jan. 24 — the fourth day of the new Trump administration — McCabe called Flynn on a secure phone in Flynn's West Wing office. The two men discussed business briefly and then McCabe said that he "felt that we needed to have two of our agents sit down" with Flynn to discuss Flynn's talks with Russian officials during the presidential transition.
McCabe, by his own account, urged Flynn to talk to the agents alone, without a lawyer present. "I explained that I thought the quickest way to get this done was to have a conversation between [Flynn] and the agents only," McCabe wrote. "I further stated that if LTG Flynn wished to include anyone else in the meeting, like the White House counsel for instance, that I would need to involve the Department of Justice. [Flynn] stated that this would not be necessary and agreed to meet with the agents without any additional participants."
Within two hours, the agents were in Flynn's office. According to the 302 report quoted in the Flynn sentencing do ent, the agents said Flynn was "relaxed and jocular" and offered the agents "a little tour" of his part of the White House.
"The agents did not provide Gen. Flynn with a warning of the penalties for making a false statement under 18 U.S.C. 1001 before, during, or after the interview," the Flynn memo says. According to the 302, before the interview, McCabe and other FBI officials "decided the agents would not warn Flynn that it was a crime to lie during an FBI interview because they wanted Flynn to be relaxed, and they were concerned that giving the warnings might adversely affect the rapport."
The agents had, of course, seen transcripts of Flynn's wiretapped conversations with Russian then-ambassador Sergey Kislyak. "Before the interview, FBI officials had also decided that if 'Flynn said he did not remember something they knew he said, they would use the exact words Flynn used ... to try to refresh his recollection. If Flynn still would not confirm what he said ... they would not confront him or talk him through it,'" the Flynn memo says, citing the FBI 302.
"One of the agents reported that Gen. Flynn was 'unguarded' during the interview and 'clearly saw the FBI agents as allies,'" the Flynn memo says, again citing the 302.
That is all the sentencing do ent contains about the interview itself. In a footnote, Flynn's lawyers noted that the government did not object to the quotations from the FBI 302 report.
In one striking detail, footnotes in the Flynn memo say the 302 report cited was dated Aug. 22, 2017 — nearly seven months after the Flynn interview. It is not clear why the report would be written so long after the interview itself.
The brief excerpts from the 302 used in the Flynn defense memo will likely spur more requests from Congress to see the original FBI do ents. Both House and Senate investigating committees have demanded that the Justice Department allow them to see the Flynn 302, but have so far been refused.
In the memo, Flynn's lawyers say that he made a "serious error in judgment" in the interview. Citing Flynn's distinguished 30-plus year record of service in the U.S. Army, they ask the judge to go along with special counsel Robert Mueller's recommendation that Flynn be spared any time in prison.
Flynn is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 18.

Mischaracterizing the Flynn lawyers brief - in the FIRST LINE! -
You idiot - here is what really happened and it was a BRILLIANT move from the FBI;
Comey described it all in his interview with Nicole Wallace...
Comey was the Director and they had gotten info on Flynn and decided they would need to speak to Flynn.
In a normal white house Comey says, they would have probably had a set of rules , a protocol to follow and white house counsel and a long chain of command to alert - but - he says - "this was the dysfunctional trump white house" so Comey said - ah what the heck I will just send a couple of agents over.
They called Flynn and he was in a jovial mood and seemed to be really open and even offered to show the agents around!
Two agents meet with Flynn and - THEY ADVISED HIM - "we can just chat - or if YOU'D LIKE - we can inform white house counsel and we can have a more formal mtg" - but Flynn waves them off and says no we can just chat.
So they did.
Then FLYNN LIED!!!!
Brilliant!
You idiot - Flynn was not under arrest - we are not questioning "miranda" rights - this was a courtesy/informal FBI interview which was voluntary and at any time Flynn could have had counsel present - but - HE DECLINED!
The FBI had no obligation to flash warning lights and make a big production and announce some ominous danger to Flynn by just talking and answering a few questions. Flynn - on the other hand - as the top level white house big shot - could have used common sense - and -
told the truth!
Like most of Trump team though - he LIED
The FBI did nothing wrong at all - unless you are a re ed cult conspiracy theorist who believes that the entire USA intelligence community became rotten on the day that dear leader was fraudulently elected and installed by Russia.
Brilliant move by Comey to be cool, send a couple of agents over (which the Flynn attorneys were more than happy to name - because they knew cult trump s would in their panties immediately) and obtain great intel without alerting/tipping off anyone.
Probably because Flynn was already guilty - did he just wave off the proper white house protocol because - like a criminal who is guilty - he thought he could just think on his feet and bull the FBI without anyone at the white house becoming alarmed.
FBI two steps ahead of the criminal traitors!

I suggest people look up that Comey/Nicole Wallace interview that aired this week - it has tons of info that connects MORE dots.
Wait, didn’t TSA say Hillary lied to the FBI? But now says Flynn didn’t and couldn’t have known? That lying was bad?
Just so I get this absolutely ing straight. A career military man did not know that lying to the FBI is bad?
