Putin Reportedly Close to Firing Giuliani



Putin allowed Trump to hire Giuliani in the first place because

“it’s important to let Trump think that he has some autonomy from time to time,”

but now the Russian President has apparently determined that “enough is enough.”

Putin is likely to replace Giuliani with a handpicked successor, Arkady Lubetkin, a criminal-defense attorney who has represented several prominent Russian Mob figures.

Putin initially theorized that the nonsensical nature of Giuliani’s utterances had to be chalked up to “an error in translation,”

After reading an official transcript of Giuliani’s statements, however, the Russian President was apparently “flabbergasted.”


“Pravda is not pravda?”

Putin reportedly said.

“What is this bull ?”

very literary. also entertaining/elucidiating RE: the nature of hybrid war, which is a war of minds to influence minds

Hybrid War Methods: Agents of Influence and Weaponizing Money

What do Satan, soccer, black cats, Russian Orthodox Patriarchs and judo wrestling have in common? Why do you need to care about the Russian literature? Indictments are only the cherry on top of this cake: layers go from the mob in Taj Mahal to weapons in Syria and into the depth of the human soul.

This article focuses on both aspects of a “psy-op:” psychological and operational and emphasizes the critical importance of creating a new way of thinking in response to the unconventional warfare. It includes:

→ The analysis of hidden messages behind the visuals of the website of Patten — Kilimnik joint business.

→ an introduction to the science of meaning-making.

→ A brief definition of a hybrid war with the focus on the mind war and psychology.

→ A case study of a hybrid war operation that includes ties between Manafort, Flynn, Cambridge Analytica, pro-Russian Ukrainian and Russian oligarchs and organized crime figures, and Putin and Trump’s close associates.

Means Mueller is ready to snatch souls and there is nothing on Earth Trump can do to stop it

I think it won't end soon -
but Mueller & Rosenstein have probably made plans for the evidence to be protected - even from the new AG - and probably will use the House's assistance to make sure the evidence is not buried by Trump and his henchmen.

I think Mueller also knows that the SDNY also have a plan that they will execute - on their own time.

Either way - criminals will be prosecuted.

[Winehole23]

Manafort had the sort of debts no honest man could pay, so he traded insider information from the Trump 2016 campaign and promised access to power.

Conflicts of interest make people vulnerable to such compromises.

A lot will become public soon. All the safeguards have left or are leaving. Mattis. Kelly. Now Rod. Because he knows it’s far too late to stop it and he wouldn’t be leaving if he didn’t trust Barr

Why was Trumps campaign manager passing along polling data to Russians?

[Winehole23]

Walls closing in and whatnot

how would you characterize Trump's campaign manager giving internal polling data to a Russian spy and promising an introduction to the candidate?

Wish I could agree here - but if Rosenstein trusts Barr -
USA is ed.

I don't see that - I think Rosenstein/Mueller are just as wary of Barr as they are of the other bag - whitaker.

Maybe those sealed indictments are why Rosenstein is comfortable stepping down. My feeling is that those sealed indictments are something not even Barr can mess with or maybe even get his hands on until they are unsealed - which by then will be too late to save Trump.

[Winehole23]

Team Trump is either waiting for the talking points RE: the latest news about Manafort to be issued or is ignoring it with the solemn dignity of the stricken.

We're currently at zero rebuttals.

Democrat’s will subpoena the report so in essence we will see it in some form

Barr would obviously do everything possible shut down Mueller and trash his reputation.

More incompetence. Trash's mafia can't even choose sycophantic henchmen

‘Knock it off’: Judge delivers scathing rebuke of ‘unprofessional’ lawyer for Mueller-indicted Russian firm


The attorneys representing Concord Management and Consulting,

the Russian firm indicted by special counsel Robert Mueller for conspiracy to defraud the United States during the 2016 election,

got a brutal smackdown from a Trump-appointed judge on Monday.

As reported by BuzzFeed News’ Zoe Tillman, Judge Dabney Friedrich gave Concord attorney Eric Dubelier a dressing down in court by

slamming his strategy as “unprofessional, inappropriate, and ineffective.”
In particular, the judge

faulted Dubelier for making a reference to the movie “Animal House” in his motion

to dismiss charges against his client, which she said was “undermining your credibility in this courthouse.”

The judge then told Dubelier to “knock it off.”

Last year,

Friedrich similarly shut down Concord’s effort to get Mueller’s probe declared unlawful

by asserting that the indictment of the firm was well within Mueller’s mandate as the special counsel investigating Russian election interference.
