Federal investigators are examining whether former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn met with senior Turkish officials just weeks before President Donald Trump's inauguration about a potential quid pro quo in which Flynn would be paid to carry out directives from Ankara secretly while in the White House, according to multiple people familiar with the investigation.
Investigators for Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russia's interference with the U.S. presidential election recently questioned witnesses about the alleged December 2016 meeting between Flynn and senior Turkish officials, two people knowledgeable with the interviews said. The questions were part of a line of inquiry regarding Flynn's lobbying efforts on behalf of Turkey.
Mueller's investigation into Flynn's potential deal with Turkey was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
Four people familiar with the investigation said Mueller is looking into whether Flynn discussed in the late December meeting orchestrating the return to Turkey of a chief rival of Turkish President Recep Erdogan who lives in the U.S. Additionally, three people familiar with the probe said investigators are examining whether Flynn and other participants discussed a way to free a Turkish-Iranian gold trader, Reza Zarrab, who is jailed in the U.S. Zarrab is facing federal charges that he helped Iran skirt U.S. sanctions.
Mueller is specifically examining whether the deal, if successful, would have led to millions of dollars in secret payments to Flynn, according to three sources familiar with the investigation.
Keep in mind this would mean that Michael Flynn was working for a payday from the Turkish government, to kidnap a dissident and spirit him out of the country, WHILE he was still working for the Trump campaign.
That is 50 shades of illegal right there.
Mueller is also taking a hard look at Flynn's son to see if he is also complicit in these negotiations.
Gee is there anybody who worked for the Trump campaign that was NOT secretly also working for a foreign government?
It looks like a good time to share this delightful video yet again as well.
I think the overall takeaway from all of this is that whatever members of the Trump campaign or White House accuse others of doing is definitely something that they themselves are doing.If Flynn gets indicted, the condition for his bail should include that this plays nonstop during his house arrest. pic.twitter.com/fddLfjVMYB— Brian Klaas (@brianklaas) November 5, 2017
Hope the military busts him to E-1 rank and takes away his pension and then gives him a dishonorable discharge.
ReplyDeleteFuck him and his son pizza boy.
Can they do that after he's retired?
DeleteSeems like we shouldn't have to pay for the pension of a foreign agent,traitor.

DeleteUnlike active duty pay, military retired/retainer pay cannot be garnished for commercial debts (i.e. credit cards, automobile loans, etc.) Military retirement pay can, however, be garnished for alimony, child support, IRS TAX LEVIES, and debts owed to the government (i.e. student loans, PX/BX Deferred Payment delinquencies, Officer/NCO Club payment delinquencies, etc.)"

ReplyDeleteRETURN? uh, no. It was a plot to kidnap. Plain and simple.
ReplyDeleteTrump and his administration are a cancer. Everything he touches turns malignant and putrid.
ReplyDeleteEven if Luther Strange mounts a write-in campaign, Trump has fucked himself. He deleted all support for Strange and endorsed and praised Moore after he won the primaries. Now Trump is stuck with a MOLESTER. He can't backtrack again and denounce MOLESTER Moore and go back to supporting Strange again.
Trump has fucked himself. Plus how ironic one sexual predator has to support another one. The Pussygrabber and the Teenybopper handler.
This Russian thing just keeps getting more interesting.
ReplyDeleteAccording to a new CNN report, the "Professor" that claimed he had dirt on Hillary Clinton and who met with George Papadopolous from the Trump campaign, has DISAPPEARED.
Professor Joseph Misfud has not been seen since 3 days after the FBI affidavit was unsealed.
So, where is he and who has him?
Curiouser and curiouser.

"U.S. antitrust regulators and AT&T Inc sparred on Wednesday over whether the wireless carrier would be required to sell Time Warner Inc's CNN cable network as a condition of approval of its deal to buy the media company."
"The dispute is the latest twist in a deal which took on broader political significance immediately after its inception in October 2016. U.S. President Donald Trump, a frequent critic of CNN, attacked the deal on the campaign trail last year, vowing that as president his Justice Department would block it. He has not commented on the transaction since taking office in January."

"On Wednesday afternoon, The New York Times, Politico and The Financial Times published reports declaring that the Department of Justice was holding up the deal. The stories, all posted within minutes of each other, indicated that the DOJ was considering forcing AT&T to sell off CNN as a condition for approval. CNBC and The New York Times indicated that the Justice Department had told AT&T it would have to sell off either DirecTV or the entire Turner broadcasting suite. But anonymous quotes to FT and Politico were more ominous: “The only reason you would divest CNN would be to kowtow to the president because he doesn’t like the coverage,” one source told Politico. “It would send a chilling message to every news organization in the country.” "
"The anti-monopoly movement in the United States is ascendent. Silicon Valley behemoths are targeting groups like the Open Markets Institute for a reason. But the fact that Trump has explicitly assailed just about every major media enterprise except Fox News and Breitbart makes him a uniquely terrible messenger for a gospel concerned with free speech."
People. People. Russia and USA will make a mess of it if they have to. The ULTRA rich who cry like bitches for tax breaks ARE Russians. OK. Watered down a few generations, but the MONEY is still here. That is ALL its about folks. $$$
DeleteMakes you wonder if Hillary and the state department were keeping an eye on Flynn for years, hence he would have another motive "to lock her up"

ReplyDelete"The gun control group led by former Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-Ariz.) is suing the Trump administration for failing to turn over documents that could show the National Rifle Association’s influence over President Donald Trump’s gun policies.
The Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence filed a lawsuit against the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives on Tuesday in the the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
The gun safety group is accusing ATF of refusing to respond to multiple Freedom of Information Act requests for documents relating to communications between administration officials and the NRA.
Specifically, Giffords’ group filed FOIA requests seeking any records relating to Trump administration policies on concealed carry reciprocity, gun silencers, bump stocks and assault weapon exports; evidence that Donald Trump Jr. improperly lobbied on behalf of gun manufacturing companies; communications between gun lobbying groups and senior administration officials following last month’s mass shooting in Las Vegas; and attempts by the NRA to review bump stock regulations in coordination with ATF."

And lastly, this:
Remember those servers in Georgia that were part of a hacking lawsuit and a few days after were wiped? Yeah, that's not over.
"This has been a tough year for those of us who believe in the sanctity of American institutions. We’re tired of corruption and are growing impatient at the intentional degradation of norms from the Trump administration and Congressional GOP. Many across the political spectrum wish there was a mechanism for the people to impeach the president directly, as our Representatives are choosing partisanship over accountability.
The great state of Georgia has been contending with its own corruption, incompetence and negligence from Secretary of State Brian Kemp, whose actions have undermined voting systems, election security and democracy in general. The difference at the state level, however, is that there is a mechanism by which the people can expel an elected official. And in Georgia there is a robust effort underway. A non-partisan group called A Voice For All Georgia has started a recall petition. And the success or failure of this effort has implications for all Americans.
According to John Ziegler, leader of A Voice For All Georgia’s recall effort: “In Georgia, the Secretary of State is responsible for the administration of secure, accessible, and fair elections. This responsibility isn’t a suggestion – it’s the fundamental job description. As voters, we should expect our votes to count and our information to be handled with integrity.”
But Ziegler says that Kemp has done the opposite. Here is a list of his alleged infractions and examples of gross negligence (links embedded). "

"In a shocking and telling move last week, the Assistant Attorney General of the State of Georgia announced that the AG’s office would not defend Kemp or the State in the “wiped server” lawsuit filed on July 3. "
"According to Ziegler, no Secretary of State from either political party has ever failed so tremendously or overtly in their role of ensuring free, fair and secure elections. “Brian Kemp is a failure without precedent. Georgians must act.”"
I'm a gun owner. I hunt. I go to the range. Why can't the NRA get it into their heads that anyone who is not in active service does not need an AR-15? I'm sick of the good guy with a gun arguments. I'm sick of the right to bear arms arguments. Do I have the right to buy a nuclear warhead under the second amendment? It's just for hunting... Jonathan Tourzan

“Look, I’m a bird hunter ― I love to wing-shoot,” McGraw said. “However, there is some common sense that’s necessary when it comes to gun control. They want to make it about the Second Amendment every time it’s brought up. It’s not about the Second Amendment.” "
