SCOTUS Sides with Mystery Mueller Opponent, For Now
The unidentified foreign company who appears to have been locked in battle with Special Counsel Robert Mueller got a small victory over the weekend,
when the U.S. Supreme Court granted a stay against a lower court order holding them in contempt.
The case stems from a grand jury subpoena that the company is resisting,
claiming that doing so would violate the law of their home country.

Yes, yes... the DIA was running a super secret CI operation with a company named after.... their former Director

Rudy Giuliani is the fool for our time
Giuliani was dopey once again.
He had told CNN on Sunday that “no one signed” a letter of intent for Donald Trump to build a Moscow project.
On Tuesday, CNN obtained the letter — signed by Trump.
Giuliani, asked by the New York Daily News to explain himself, said, “I don’t think I said nobody signed it.”
Completing the reversal, he said “of course” Trump signed it: “How could you send it but nobody signed it?”
Giuliani is the fool for our time.
Occasionally he speaks accidental truths, but mostly he plays the clown.
He’s America’s crazy uncle at a time when, according to a Wired tally,
seven sets of prosecutors and investigators are pursuing at least 17 court cases involving Trump.
“Twitter allowed someone to invade my text with a disgusting anti-President message,” an alarmed Giuliani tweeted a few weeks ago,
calling Twitter “card-carrying anti-Trumpers.”
In fact, Giuliani had accidentally sabotaged his own tweet with a punctuation error — “G-20.In” — that automatically created a hyperlink to an Indian Web address.
all the funnier because he’s also Trump’s “cybersecurity adviser.”
The former New York mayor, 74, has long been a loose cannon,
asserting that there had not been any “successful Islamic terrorist attacks” during the George W. Bush administration,
saying Trump’s travel ban was a legal way to do a “Muslim ban,” and
predicting a “pretty big surprise” right before Comey reopened the Hillary Clinton email investigation.
Alternately ill-informed and indiscreet, he’s just the guy you’d want as your lawyer.
Trump’s lawyer in the spring by comparing FBI agents to “stormtroopers” and
later claiming a law-enforcement informant was a “spy.”
He pivoted from describing
Michael Cohen as “an honest, honorable lawyer”
who is “not going to lie”
to a “proven liar” who has “lied all his life.”
he would charge special counsel Robert Mueller’s office “with a lance” to defend Ivanka Trump, but
Jared Kushner is “disposable.”
Trump couldn’t be indicted as president even if he “shot” Comey.
undermined months of Trump’s “no collusion” claims by proclaiming instead that “collusion is not a crime.”
defended Trump on NBC’s “Meet the Press” by saying “truth isn’t truth.”
admitted publicly that the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting was held “for the purpose of getting information about Clinton,”
upending the official line that it was about adoption.
suggested guilt when he told the Daily Beast
“this was not a big crime” because “nobody got killed, nobody got robbed.”
he raised the possibility that associate Roger Stone gave Trump advance notice that WikiLeaks would release emails about Clinton stolen by Russia, saying “if” Stone had, “it’s not a crime.”
some Giuliani dopiness is an effort to divulge damaging information gently. But he often makes matters worse.
Giuliani announced that Trump reimbursed Cohen for hush money to a porn actress.
But he seemed baffled when told Cohen had claimed it was his own money: “He did?”
Retreating, Giuliani said Trump wasn’t told about the payments,
“but even if he was told, he wouldn’t have remembered it.”
Further backpedaling, Giuliani said, “I’m not an expert on the facts”
and issued a written statement “to clarify the views I expressed over the past few days.
etc, etc.

‘The purchase of Donald Trump’:
New report details how Russian money poured in to save Trump’s businesses
Far from a business genius, Trump was largely a flop in business.
Trump’s repeated failures in the ’90s made him virtually radioactive to any American banks looking to fund new ventures.
Lenders were wary of trusting ... because Donald Trump’s businesses were consistently going belly up — most famously, the Trump Taj Mahal Casino in Atlantic City.
Donald Trump Jr. said at a New York conference: “In terms of high-end product influx into the US, Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets.”
“Well, we don’t rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia.”
Trump Organization‘s curious shift from
funding projects almost entirely with debt in the ’90s to employing large bushels of cash by the mid-2000s.
Michael Hirsch ... found significant corroboration for Trump’s reliance on foreign funds.
Multiple anonymous sources, former associates of the president, told Hirsch that
Trump especially used Russian funds when American sources ran dry.
Some of this, it seems, came in the form of direct real estate purchases.
Trump has even admitted to one major deal with a Russian, Dmitry Rybolovlev,
who is believed to be close to Putin. Rybolovlev bought a Palm Beach house from Trump
for $100 million — $60 million more than what the president had initially paid for it, .
This is a remarkably high profit for any such deal — in 2008, when the American real estate market was cratering.
“That deal delivered so much cash to Trump, it almost has to be seen as a campaign contribution, or the purchase of Donald Trump,”
this was not the only property Trump sold to a Russian national.
‘What else could I do in the world? I’ll just convince people to buy my brand.’
And the only people who were willing to buy it were tasteless Russians, people who like the absurd, ostentatious gold-leaf lifestyle he has
the Russian connection is also hiding in plain sight. In the early 2000s,
Trump started his comeback by partnering with the Bayrock Group, a financial firm run, in part, by Felix Sater.
Sater had pleaded to guilty to participating in a fraudulent scheme with the Russian mafia in the ’90s,
was a key player along with Michael Cohen is brokering a deal to build Trump Tower Moscow in 2016
those roads too sometimes appeared to lead back to Russia.
In 2017, real-estate developer Jody Kriss, whom Sater hired to help him run Bayrock, told Timothy O’Brien of Bloomberg what happened after an Icelandic compe or of the FL Group contacted him to invest in Bayrock.
When Kriss brought that offer to Sater and Arif, they told him that
the money behind Icelandic banks “was mostly Russian”—
and they had to take FL’s funds for deals with Trump because FL was “closer to [Vladimir] Putin,”
the FL Group invested $50 million in several Bayrock projects linked to Trump, including a development in Whitestone, Queens, and Trump SoHo in Manhattan.
FL Group dissolved in 2014.
Kriss told Bloomberg’s O’Brien that
he eventually left Bayrock because he became convinced that the firm was a front for money laundering.
All of these connections are almost certainly being scrutinized by
Special Counsel Robert Mueller,
federal prosecutors at the Southern District of New York, and
any of the other agencies investigating the president’s past.

All-American fraud? Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker's questionable résumé
Incompetent, unqualified, partisan, and fraudulent are some of the words associated with Donald Trump’s Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker, a man who appears to have been
handpicked to help thwart the special counsel investigation(s) into Donald Trump’s crime family.
From his sketchy work as an advisor to a Florida company currently fighting a $26 million settlement for defrauding customers to
his atypical rise to acting attorney general,
an appointment that may not even be cons utional.
he appears to have
lied about being named an Academic All-American
while playing football at the University of Iowa. From the Wall Street Journal:
Mr. Whitaker’s name doesn’t appear in the list of Academic All-Americans on the website of the organization
that bestows the annual honor, the College Sports Information Directors of America.
Another University of Iowa football player is on that list for 1992, the year that Mr. Whitaker has said he received the honor.
Barb Kowal, a spokeswoman for the awarding organization, also known as CoSIDA, said the group has no record that Mr. Whitaker was ever an Academic All-American.
Whitaker did ac ulate some academic honors, but he never achieved the All-American status.

Academic All-American doesn't know the difference between "selected as a finalist for Academic All-American honors" and "Academic All-American honoree"
I thought Academic All Americans were supposed to be smart guys.
If you aren't smart enough, then lie about it.

Argue with the cell phone data. Beotchhh
here's the dossier claim about the alleged Prague meeting:
"sources familiar blah blah blah..."Argue with the cell phone data. Beotchhh
During the same period, electronic eavesdropping by an Eastern European intel agency picked up a conversation among Russians, one of whom remarked that Cohen was in Prague.
The phone & surveillance data lend new credence to a key part of Steele dossier.
Both of the newly surfaced foreign electronic intelligence intercepts were shared with Special Counsel Robert Mueller, people familiar with the matter said.
