Our Perfect Political Storm

“Mayday, Mayday.., we’re going down, Mayday, Mayday.., anyone copy?, over.”
A self-imposed project to help me understand what the hell is going on!!!
This is a “work in progress” and about half of what I’ve accumulated (trying to find time to add it all.) Its like chasing rabbits running to holes. Come back on occasion as I’ll continue to post updated facts of “what the hell is going on.” Please draw you own conclusions, like good “informed” Americans should!
Don’t get your panties in a bunch losing sight of its content while noting it hasn’t been spell checked, proofed or alphabetized (yet) BUT note, it has been fully researched. Please doubt, deny, THEN CHECK this papers validity. Get off your butt and READ, RESEARCH yourself, its your Democracey too!
I’ve only sourced from what I consider are usually acceptable sources i.e. WSJ, Washington Post, NY Times, Meet the Press, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, C-Span, DOD files, FOIA docs, US Committee’s logs, etc. I also ref. many quality reads like “The Less You Know, The Better You Sleep” by Satter, “The Prize” by Vergin, and “Dark Money” by Mayer etc.
I’ve tried to stick to facts that mainly show ties that Trump, his administration, family, and business’s have with Putin’s Russia and other nasty lil critters.
I wont be focusing on this Administrations deregulation for profit maneuvers, nor its ability to govern (or not), or Its ability to be professional (or not) or its everyday domestic issues-handling, unless it runs concurrent and in support of the collusion of US factions ties w/Russia and other treasonous parties, and/or actions.
NOTE: a friend (Republican and Trump voter) asked me “did I or am I, doing a similar paper on Hillary? I stated “NO” “She didn’t win!” My ONLY concern is with “who is driving the bus NOW!” I don’t give a crap about parties or politics, I care about my countries Democracy or lack thereof.

This news comes on top of a December report in The Washington Post that Roth’s firm had put in a bid to rebuild the FBI’s headquarters, a deal that could be worth as much as $2 billion. In other words, Trump, mere days after promising to remove himself from his businesses, is instead ushering a longtime partner into his administration.

He also got good deals on a foreign Biotech firms stock and Senate committee states he undervalued his tocks in pharmaceutical companies to them and on IRS forms. He called a top US Health official trying to scuttle a rule which would hurt the firms prifits and dropped their share value (he also owned stock there) As it is now illegal for him to get campaing donations while servicing in the White House his wife Betty Price (State Rep) is now getting donations for campains instead.

Jan 24, 2017
Flynn lies to the FBI (a Felony offense) when interrogated that he never discussed Trump lifting sanctions (for Russia’s invasion of Crimea) w/Russian ambassador. In fact the FBI had been shriveling him and knew before hand he had. Thus the FBI knew he lied (again a Felony)
Flynn tells the Trump transition team (lead by Pence) on Jan 24 2017 weeks before he was hired by Trump that “he was under investigation.” Flynn knew this a month earlyer when the FBI told him he was under investigation.

Feb 13 2017
Gen. Flynn resigned/fired as our National Security Advisor after misleading key officials about the nature of his telecommunications with Russian diplomats. Flynn previously denied having any substantive conversations with Ambassador Sergey I. Kislyak, and Mr. Pence repeated that claim in television interviews. Pence consistently lies about “not being aware till now” of this fact. It will be proven in May that the Whitehouse KNEW Flynn had accepted monies from foreign entitles as their agent but didn’t care.
Feb 14 2017
It was announced that Trump campaign aides had repeated contacts w/senior Russian Intelligence officials over the past year, While Russia was attacking our country via are election process.

Deputy Dir of FBI (Andrew McCabe) goes to WH for private meeting with the WH Chief of Staff (Reince Priebus) he tells Priebus “I want you to know that the story in the NY Times (see Feb 14 above) is BS.” This is a borderline illegal act as the WH and it staff are in an ongoing FBI investigation for what may be treasonous acts and the FBI should not be “privately” discussing the case w/them. This compromises the investigation. It was PROVEN to have been an outright lie by the Deputy Dir of the FBI as later all of these allegations were acknowledged by not only our nations top law enforcement and intelligence agencies but several of our allies Intel agencies. FYI: The NYT expose’ has proved to be 100% grounded in fact so why did the FBI Deputy go to the WH and try to minimize the facts and reduce WH exposure? That “odd behavior” illegal behavior Deputy would become in May the Director of the FBI and head of its investigation into the WH/Trump/Russia issue!!!!???
The White House confirmed having contacted Congressman Nunes (Chairman of the House Intel Cmtte) and Sen. Burr (Chairman of the Senate Intel Cmtte) and “enlisted them” to contact other media representatives/reporters and “steer away and squash” the NY Times article where the Deputy Director of the FBI had been quoted to say was “BS.” (Article about the Trump staff having ongoing contact w/high ranking Russian Intel officers.) Again we have a serious compromise of an ongoing investigation where we see the party being investigated (WH) ordering the lead investigators (of the WH) to “squash” evidence presented to the public concerning illegalities KNOWN by the FBI/CIA/DEA already.

It was announced, British (GCHQ-like our NSA) and Dutch Intelligance had sent evidence to Obamas administratin (during the elections) that people on “Trumps campaing staff had attended meetings in European cities w/Russian officials close to Putin.” British spies were the first to spot Trump teams links w/Putin and sent the evidence to the US but we “just sat on it, doing nothing.”
Konstantin Kilimnik (Russina spy w/GRU) and close friends of Paul Manfort who has several business ties with him (see Aug 2016) tells openly Ukraine operatives “that he played a role in a move by Trumps representitives to dilute santions aganise Russian for their incursion into the Ukraine and to get the G”OP platform to stop providing lethal defensive weapons” to them against Russia.
March 9 2017
On FOX news, Pence lies. VP Mike Pence (who ran Trumps transition team) claims today it is the first time he has heard of any issues surround Gen Flynn’s issues. He denies any knowledge (multiple times w/to many sources) that he was ever aware of “Gen. Flynn’s” ties to Russian money, or other foreign activates as a agent. This is a blatant lie as he WAS the Head of Trumps Transition team at the time Flynn was shown to have been involved w/Turkey and Russia broadcast on ALL the news channels (right, left, and middle), plus his office had a hand-delivered letter and person-to-person briefing with Acting Attorney General Sally Yates concerning Flynn and that Congress had also sent a letter to his office sounding the alarm about Flynn. NOTE: DOJ also had an ongoing investigation underway on Flynn at the time.

Trump orders 46 US Prosecutors at the Justice Department, to tender their resignations immediately — including Preet Bharara, the United States attorney in Manhattan. This will be later shown to have probably been motivated by Bharara’s onging investigation into Trump and Trumps associates links and dubious business dealings with Russia and other anti-American organizations. (Mr. Trump and Jeff Sessions, had asked him about staying on, which the prosecutor said he expected to do until Bharara started intense investigions into Mr. Trump’s potiental violations of the emoluments clause of the Constitution, which bars federal officials from taking payments from foreign governments.)

Devin Nunes takes a phone call while sharing a ride with a staffer, after the call, he switches cars without telling his team where he’s going. He makes an unscheduled trip is to the White House, where he meets with one of his former staffers and a Mike Flynn aide, who provide Nunes with information about incidental collection of Trump and his associates. This information is believed to have been among other things a copy of the FISA warrant and report of Trumps former advisor Carter Page (a now-known agent for Russia)

Papadopoulous would turn up at least a dozen times in the 20,000 pages of documents the Trump campaign turned over to congressional committees investigation Tump/Russia connections. Papadopoulous’s input was a consistent effort to “set up meetings between the Trump camp and Russian leadership to help the Trump campaign.”

Devin Nunes holds a press conference in the Capitol building outlining “incidental collection” of Trump and associates, as well as their “unmasking,” Nunes says the reports came from FISA surveillance, Next, Nunes visits the White House to brief Trump on the intelligence reports. Directly after, he holds another press conference, this time on the White House lawn. The “Unmasking” is probably in ref to the Carter Pages FISA warrant survalience and not Trumps being “bugged” by Obama as he claimed. Nunes did not share his information with his colleagues prior to holding public press conferences. Schiff informed Nunes that, contrary to previous statements, “most of the names in the intercepted communications were in fact masked.”
Senator John McCain (R-Arizona)calls for a select committee to investigate Russia, saying that “no longer does the Congress have credibility to handle this alone.”

Nunes apologizes to his Intelligence Committee colleagues “in a generic way,” according to representative Jackie Speier (D-California), a fellow committee member. Nunes also tells the committee that they’ll see the documents on Friday. (This does not happen.)
Even thought Trump and is team are the focus of the House and Senates investigation, Nunes explains his rationale for briefing Trump on sensitive information: “I felt like I had a duty and obligation to tell him, because, as you know, he’s taking a lot of heat in the news media,” Nunes said. “I think to some degree there are some things he should look at to see whether, in fact, he thinks the collection was proper or not.” It is now known that the FISA he got from the White House and next day took to the White House (?) concerned Carter Page, not Trump.
March 24 2017
Nunes cancels a planned open Intelligence Committee hearing that was to feature former ODNI head James Clapper, former CIA director John Brennan, and former deputy attorney general Sally Yates. Schiff calls it an “attempt to choke off public info.” Separately, representative Eric Swalwell, a California Democrat who also sits on the Intelligence Committee, confirms that Nunes has not showed them the intelligence reports as promised, and “it looks like [Nunes is] running his own intelligence service at this point.”

March 27 2017
A Nunes spokesperson says Nunes met his source at the White House last week “in order to have proximity to a secure location where he could view the information provided by the source.” That’s apparently referring to a SCIF, a protected room used to share classified materials. But the need for a SCIF doesn’t explain the use of the White House; the Capitol building houses several of them and sits just 15 minutes away by car. That night Schiff officially calls on Nunes to recuse himself.
March 28 2017
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) colorfully derides Nunes as running an “Inspector Clouseau investigation,” Nunes declines to recues himself from the investigation. When pressed on Democrat concerns that he’s too close to Trump, Nunes responds that it “sounds like their problem.” House Speaker Paul Ryan also said he saw no reason for Nunes to step aside. Nunes shifts blame to the Democrats, saying: “We’re beginning to figure out who’s actually serious about the investigation because it appears like the Democrats aren’t really serious about this investigation.” Democrats on the panel respond by noting that it was Nunes who canceled a previously scheduled open panel scheduled with no explanation and no apparent intent to reschedule. This was to have included Sally Yates former “Attorney General” fired by Trump. She had key role that lead to Flynn’s being exposed and investigated and had warned Trump and his White House that Flynn was probably being blackmailed by Russia on Jan 26 2017.
Sally Yates and Brennan made clear their upcoming testimony to the committee would contradict official statements the White House had made. The White House responded they would consider Yates testimony would be held in violation of the presidential communcations privilege and possibly the deliberative process privilege (which the President owns) In essense Trumps WH was telling her she could not tell the committee that she had warned them (WH) about Gen Flynn in person because those conversations were “protected.”
March 29 2017
National Security Council senior director for intelligence Ezra Cohen-Watnick and White House national security lawyer Michael Ellis provided Nunes the intelligence documents, indicating a direct thread between the administration and the original news conference.

James Lankford R-OK a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee w/Cliftion Watts-FBI Special Agent express their belief that the Russian election cyber-attacks were so sucessful in part due to Trumps use of Russian Active Measures against his opponets (Clinton as one exp.)

Jared Kushner goes to Baghdad/Iraq from invitation by Joint Chiefs, yet US Sec of State hasn’t been there. Jarad has no quailifications for the position and it is beyound past eperience that our Sec. of State does not handle this. Jarad was accoumpanied by his ex-bodyguard Keith Schiller to represent the US at the table??? WH claims the US Onvoy for Middle East Peace doesn’t report to Sec of State but to Jared who is also lead for US meeting w/Chinese president at Mar-a-Lago Fl.

Bannon (publisher of a right wing news) removed from his position on the NSC “Principle Committee” Dan Coats and Gen Dunford w’ll be regulars there now. The White House says Bannon was in that position to “watch” Gen Flynn but that’s BS as Flynn had left a long time ago (6 wks), while Bannon stayed.
To date only 21 nominees have been confirmed of the 553 key administration positions that are still empty.

Donald Trump removes Stephen Bannon from National Security Council. A huge controversy arose when he (right wing publisher) was placed on the counsil as a “Principle” while the CIA Dir, Natl Intel Dir, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of staff were removed from it. They were reinstated after a long furrior about their removal in the first place.

CHINA-“Conflicts of Interest” – While Trump (Mr. “make America Frist” and “Hire Ameirca and Made in America) is meeting with China’s diplomates Ivanka Trump since Nov 8 2016 has had her appral brand has had 56 total shipments w/53 coming from Chinese ports and 3 from Singapore. She doesn’t appear to be following her husband’s rhetoric. This presents a very obvious conflict of interest w/China along with these serious issues:
- A Chinese Bank is a Trump tower renter paying $1.9 mil annualy renting 8 % of the building a year.
- This Bank of China is also a lender on a $1 bil. Mortage on another Trump owned building in Manhattan.
- Jared Kurshner (Trump son-in-law) opened talks with ANBANG Bank (Chinese Ins Co.) seeking a $400mil investment in a Manhattan Kurshner building.
- Less than 1 wk after Election China released a 10 yr stalled Trump tradmark in their country.
- Ross, Trumps Sec of Commerence, owns a stake in a Chinese shipping company (Diamond S. Shipping Co- Communist Gov officials own 9%)
Devin Nunes (Majority Leader of House Intellegence Committee) stepped down (because of probable need to subponed) from that positon on order of the House Ethics Committee. The Russian investigation by that committee will be taken over by three Republicans: Michael Conaway –R-Tx, Trey Gowdy-R-S.C., Tom Ronney Fl. Nunes states: “Several leftwing activist groups have filed accusations against me with the Office of Congressional Ethics. The charges are entirely false and politically motivated, and are being leveled just as the American people are beginning to learn the truth about the improper unmasking of the identities of U.S. citizens and other abuses of power. Despite the baselessness of the charges, I believe it is in the best interests of the House Intelligence Committee and the Congress for me to have Representative Mike Conaway, with assistance from Representatives Trey Gowdy and Tom Rooney, temporarily take charge of the Committee’s Russia investigation while the House Ethics Committee looks into this matter. I will continue to fulfill all my other responsibilities as Committee Chairman, and I am requesting to speak to the Ethics Committee at the earliest possible opportunity in order to expedite the dismissal of these false claims.”

Trump orders a 59 U.S. cruise missile strike on a Syrian military airfield in response to their gassing and killing 70 of their people. The missile strike was minor and more of a warning rather than a preemptive measure to reduice their capabilities.

The Defense Intelligence Agency report (in-house review) shows DIA could not locate any records of Gen Flynn seeking permission/approval to receive money from a foreign source. This report would go public on Apr. 27 2017 It also shows Flynn was warned to “Get permission” PRIOR to doing any such activity.
Trumps conflicts of interst: President Trump has reportedly sought security clearances for Kushner and Ivanka, who have taken on growing roles in his White House. For anyone else, a close personal relationship with the family (Dasha Zhukova wife of Putins strong arm man, Abramovich) of a top Putin confidant would present significant hurdles to obtaining security clearances, former high-ranking intelligence officials said, but political pressure to grant clearances to the president’s children would be likely to override any security concerns
The Atlantic publishes a list of business concernst that (are illegal by US and International by violating the violation of the Emoluments Clause, FCPA law etc.) would probably influence Trumps decision making while in office. Here are a few explained.
- Old Post Office Bldg. Hotel in Washington, D.C. opened Sept 2016. Forgin dignitaries are already staying there while in DC to curry favor w/the Trump Admisistration
- His Property in Azerbaijan ranks as among the most corrupt countries in the world, where the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Baku. His partners Anar Mammadov and Ziya Mammadov are notoriously corrupt and have long/strong relationships w/Iranian oligarchs. They are also linked to the Darvishis’s (tried to develop nukes for Iran)
- Trump Tower Penthouse NYC. Feb. 21 2017 $15.8 mil paid to Trump by China’s Xiao Yan Chen (Chen) for an appartment in the building. Chen owns Global Alliance Associates (
- Resort in the Dominican Republic-Trump Organization has had a contract with Ricardo and Fernando Hazoury, the brothers who own the Cap Cana Resort in the Dominican Republic. The president’s putative pick for his ambassador to the Dominican Republic only adds to the perception that Trump will intermingle business and politics in the country. Trump has picked Robin Bernstein, a campaign donor, business partner, and founding member of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club, to be his administration’s representative in the country. Bernstein and her husband Richard have been in business with the president and his company for decades through The Americas Group, a consulting and marketing firm focused on construction projects in Latin America and the Caribbean
- Chinese Trademark Trump had been seeking for more than 10 years was “magicaly approved” by a Chinese court AFTER his inaugeration. It prevents a bevy of unrelated entrepreneurs from applying it to a wide range of products, from toilets to clothing to condoms to explosives thus expanding Trump and his wifes “branding” and “retail outlet manufacturing capabilities.” (most of Trumps wifes retail line comes from China! So much for “Buy American.”)
- Meetings at Mar-a-Lago– one good exp. is the Feb 11, 2017 evening fiasco when Trump is shown discussing obtained intelligence on a N. Korea missile launch with the prime minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe (and other non-cleared parties in the room) without leaving the table , the president committed a breach of international-security protocol in a very public setting. The Trump Organization’s decision to double Mar-a-Lago’s initiation fees has led to valid accusations of profiteering, premised on the notion that people would be willing to pony up in the hopes of earning an audience with the commander-in-chief. The club doubled its initiation fees in January, from $100,000 to $200,000, and without a publicly available guest list and no word on what security protocols are in place, the possibility that somebody could be using a club membership to gain access to the president has led Democratic members of Congress to draft a bill specifically to mandate better disclosure of the goings-on at the venue.
- Defense Department Trump Tower Rental- the Pentagon is planning to lease space in Trump Tower in New York City to maintain close proximity to Trump should he choose to spend time there instead of Washington, D.C. the Secret Service’s decision to occupy two 3,000- to 5,000-square-foot floors of the building could cost taxpayers more than $3 million a year, a significant portion of which would be going to the Trump Organization, and, by extension, the president himself
- Eric Trumps Biz Trip to Punta del Este, Uruguay– Secret Service cost to taxpayers was approx. $100k for a Trump owned bussiness trip!!!
- Red Cross Ball– the organization operates under a federal charter as a “federal instrumentality … to carry out responsibilities delegated to [it] by the federal government.” The best-known of these duties include overseeing blood-donation drives and disaster-relief efforts; according to its website, it is also the Red Cross’s duty “to fulfill the provisions of the Geneva Convention” and “provide family communications and other forms of support to the U.S. military.” Further, the organization has a chairperson appointed by the president. It has come under scrutiny for how it handles its multi-billion-dollar budget
- Labor Dispute– Fall 2015 National Labor Relations Board found Trump and Ruffin in violation of federal law, over his hotel in Las Vegas. Now a simular action involving 40 employees at his DC Hotel has begun where the conflict of interest is with Trump president, he will be appointing new board members to fill vacancies on the NLRB agency’s panel. It is believed it will fall to the Supreme Court, to which Trump recently nominated Judge Neil Gorsuch, to render a final verdict. Trump has a long history of labor disputes w/the most recent one being announced 1/5/17 where DC-area contractors claim Trump owes them more than $3 million. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration OSHA oversees construction sites, and has fined the Trump Organization on multiple occasions for workplace-safety violations
- Trump US Expansion Plans (while being President) Eric Danziger, the CEO of Trump Hotels, said after a panel discussion in Los Angeles that the company is considering tripling the number of Trump-branded properties within the U.S. According to Danziger, “There are 26 major metropolitan areas in the U.S., and we’re in five. I don’t see any reason that we couldn’t be in all of them eventually.” Danziger listed Dallas, Seattle, Denver, and San Francisco as among the cities where the Trump Organization is looking to build in the near future
- New Trump Hotel in Vancouver– Trump International Hotel & Tower in Vancouver opened for business after Trump became pres. (Jan 25 2017) the Trump Organization leasing its branding to a third party, a real-estate company called the Holborn Group, which operates several luxury hotels throughout Canada. The Holborn Group is run by Joo Kim Tiah, the eldest son of one of the wealthiest families in Malaysia; several members of Tiah’s family business friends with the president’s two adult sons, Donald Jr. and Eric. Trump property influences his incentives when it comes to making policy, foreign or domestic:
- Reality-Television Show– Pres. Trump remains an executive producer on the series receiving a low five-figure salary for the position. Kellyanne Conway, clarified that he would be taking on his producing duties in his spare time. The conflict of interest issue was brought to light with companies like QVC – settled a $7.5 million suit regarding deceptive advertising (Melania, Trumps wife markets her inventory on that network) and Carnival Cruise who reached a $40 million settlement with the U.S. government over pollution in the Atlantic Ocean,) line plus Kawasaki ad relationship to our government.
- DAPL Pipeline– Its construction was finalized by Trump on Feb 7 2017 against EPA issues while Trump’s FEC filings, which remain the only public record of his finances, (because he refuses to post them like presidents before him) suggest he has incentives to greenlight the projects: According to financial-disclosure forms he filed in June 2015 and May 2016, Trump has owned stock in Energy Transfer Partners, the company seeking to build DAPL. The stock was worth between $500,001 and $1,000,000 in 2015 and between $15,001 and $50,000 in 2016 (falling due to the EPA freeze on the project.) Remember Trump announced his intention to intervene at the factory of the air-conditioner manufacturer Carrier in Indianapolis, and Trump’s filings list stock in Carrier’s parent company, United Technologies.
- HUD Grants– Trump owns HUD properties. Trump inherited from his dad (and made millions from) Starrett City, a 153-acre, 5,881-unit low-income housing development in Brooklyn. The development, receives substantial federal funding via HUD’s many programs designed to support low-income renters and homeowners. Trump could easily press for policies that would increase his profits from Starrett, most notably allowing for the sale of the complex, an action HUD blocked in 2007. There are other potiential Trump HUD properties but the American public may never know as he wont reliease his tax returns.
- Golf Course in Aberdeen– the Trump Organization will soon be moving forward with a multi-million dollar plan to expand its Aberdeen resort, including a new 450-room, five-star hotel and a second 18-hole golf course.
- Other Billionaire New York Real-Estate Developer– (see Jan 11, 2017 stops conflict of interests announcment) Trump meets with Steven Roth, a fellow New York-based billionaire real-estate developer, who is in charge of Vornado Realty Trust, an investment firm that co-owns two of Trump’s most valuable properties, one in Manhattan and one in San Francisco, and served as an economic adviser during the campaign. Trump, soon will name Roth and Richard LeFrak (New York-based billionaire real-estate developer), to oversee a council of 15 to 20 builders and engineers who will be carrying out the president’s $1 trillion infrastructure proposal, a situation which itself provides ripe opportunities for the pair to direct federal dollars toward projects from which they will financially benefit. This news comes on top of a December report in The Washington Post that Roth’s firm had put in a bid to rebuild the FBI’s headquarters, a deal that could be worth as much as $2 billion. In other words, Trump, mere days after promising to remove himself from his businesses, is instead ushering a longtime partner into his administration.
- Indonesian Politicians– Despite President Trump’s assurance he has stopped pursuing deals since the election, his namesake organization moved forward with a pair of projects in Indonesia. The two properties that will bear the Trump name, one overlooking a Hindu temple in Bali and the other abutting a theme park in West Java. Billionaire media mogul Hary Tanoesoedibjo (known in Indonesia as Hary Tanoe), hooked Trump with several top Indonesian politicians. One is Setya Novanto, the speaker of the country’s House of Representatives who temporarily lost his post for trying to extort $4 billion from the American mining company Freeport-McMoRan (a company which counts Carl Icahn, who will be serving as a special adviser in Trump’s administration, among its largest shareholders, and which has been frequently criticized by labor advocates and environmentalists). Another Pres. Trump association (which will probably backfire on the US) is Fadli Zon, the vice chairman of Indonesia’s House of Representatives, whose district includes one of the cities in which one of the Trump-branded properties will be built. Zon is associated with a political movement seeking to unseat and jail the current governor of Jakarta, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, (aka, Ahok), and has spoken at rallies against Ahok. The anti-Ahok movement is rooted partly in centuries of ethnic tension within the country: Ahok is both Christian, which has made him the target of attacks by hardline clerics claiming to represent Indonesia’s Muslim majority, and a member of the country’s historically oppressed Chinese minority, which was the target of a massacre in 1998. This is a predomenetly Islamic country and both Novanto and Zon have stood up for Trump, arguing that Trump’s hardline stance toward Muslim immigration was merely campaign rhetoric and not actually reflective of the president’s own beliefs, Trumps business dealings and friendship with Novanto and Zon could introduce major complications into the relationship between the our pres and the Indonesian, political leaders of the world’s largest Muslim country, not to mention a significant trade partner and an important ally in the South China Sea region.
- Emirati Businessman- At a New Year’s Eve celebration at Mar-a-Lago, Trump praised his Emirati business partner Hussain Sajwani and Sajwani’s family, saying, “The most beautiful people from Dubai are here tonight, and they’re seeing it and they love it.” Sajwani as a “billionaire developer in Dubai” who has “paid Trump millions of dollars to license the Trump name for golf courses in Dubai.” The United Arab Emirates has a questionable record on human rights; Human Rights Watch specifically states that the nation “uses its affluence to mask the government’s human-rights problems.” ickets to celebrate with the president at Mar-a-Lago, went for upwards of $500; the stated attendance of at least 800 people means that the Trump Organization made at least $400,000 off of ticket sales for the event.
- Virginia Vineyard– Trump owns, Trump Vineyard Estates and Winery in Charlottesville, Virginia, On December 23, the property requested temporary H-2A visas for twenty-nine foreign workers. The visas, which are administered by the Citizenship and Immigration Services wing of the Department of Homeland Security, allow businesses to temporarily hire foreign, unskilled workers provided that the employer proves that there are not enough domestic candidates to fulfill a one-time or seasonal shortage and that the hiring will not depress wages for U.S.-born employees. Trump, of course, appointed the current Secretary of Homeland Security, which gives Trump authority over the very department responsible for deciding whether to grant the visas that the vineyard has requested. The Trump Organization has long been a beneficiary of immigrant labor. From August 2015, nine companies of which Trump is the majority owner have requested at least 1,100 foreign visas since 2000. The majority of these requests were from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida, which has requested at least 787 foreign visas since 2006, including 70 applications in 2015. Since 2010, only 17 of the nearly 300 domestic applicants for positions at the Mar-a-Lago have been hired. The Trump Organization also famously may have benefited from illegal immigration: There is significant evidence that many of the Polish construction workers at the Trump Tower construction site in New York in 1980 were in the country illegally. In other words, Trump’s track record includes not just taking advantage of the very visa process he claims to abhor but also actually subverting existing law for his own profit
- Kuwaiti Event– Representatives from the Trump Organization pressured the ambassador of Kuwait to hold its embassy’s annual celebration of the country’s independence at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. The event, held annually on February 25, was originally scheduled to take place at the Four Seasons Hotel in Georgetown; the location was allegedly changed after members of the Trump Organization contacted the country’s ambassador.
- Carrier Deal– One of President Trump’s first major economic moves was the deal that he and Vice President Mike Pence struck with the air-conditioner manufacturer Carrier, which had planned to move 2,100 jobs from its Indiana plant to Mexico. Finalized on November 29, the compromise kept 730 of the plant’s jobs in Indiana in exchange for $7 million in tax breaks over 10 years. Trump holds stock in Carrier’s parent company, United Technologies. In 2014, his investment in the company was between $100,001 and $250,000
- Deutsche Bank Debt– Deutsche Bank, which “has led or participated in loans of at least $2.5 billion” to the president since 1996, with at least another $1 billion in loan commitments to Trump-affiliated companies; more than $300 million of those loans have come since 2012. The Justice Department is currently negotiating with Deutsche Bank regarding a preliminary settlement of $14 billion to resolve probes into allegedly misleading predatory lending practices in the leadup to the 2008 financial crisis. Fears that Trump may unduly consider his indebtedness to Deutsche Bank in deciding his administration’s policy toward the financial sector go beyond general anxiety about deregulatio
- Secret Service Detail- One example: Over the course of the campaign, the Secret Service, which traditionally pays for its own travel during elections, spent $2.74 million to fly on a plane owned by one of Trump’s own companies.
- Property in Georgia (the Country) – The completion of an embattled Trump-branded building in the former Soviet republic of Georgia is no longer on hold now that Trump has won. he property seems to be moving forward solely because Trump was elected suggests his various business interests around the world may play a role not only in his foreign policy but in how other countries seek to deal with the U.S. as well.
- That Hotel in Washington, D.C.- Multiple events since the election have made Trump’s lease on the hotel a central focus of discussions of his conflicts of interest, On November 29, Bahrain announced that it would be celebrating the anniversary of its king’s ascension to the throne at the hotel. Other events announced since the election include a Hannukah celebration co-hosted by the Embassy of Azerbaijan and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations and a reception for the conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation featuring Vice President Mike Pence as its keynote speaker. After his election a lobbying group with connections to the government of Saudi Arabia had booked a four-day stay at the hotel in Washington, D.C. And on March 13, the Turkish-American Business Council will be co-hosting its annual conference at the Trump International Hotel after a seven-year runat the Ritz-Carlton. The latter announcement is especially notable because the organization’s chairman, Ekim Alptekin, is involved in another of the Trump administration’s scandals: One of Alptekin’s companies, the apparent shell company Inovo BV, paid $530,000 to the former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn to lobby on behalf of the Turkish government, which prompted Flynn to register as a foreign agent shortly after he was ousted from the Trump administration for lying about his contacts with Russian agents while a member of the president’s transition team.
- That Argentinean Office Building– , the president’s first phone call with his Argentine counterpart Mauricio Macri included a discussion of the permit issues currently holding up construction of a new Trump-branded office building in Buenos. YY Development Group whose owner is Felipe Yaryura, one of Trump’s longtime associates, is in charge of Trump Tower Buenos Aires. The day after the phone call, the PanAm Post reported that YY Development Group had been approved to break ground in June 2017 Aires

Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant (that had been issued last summer) was leaked to Washington Post. Shows FBI had a FISA warrant to investigate Carter Page (former Trump adviser recruited by NY Russian spies: Igor Sporyshev, and Victor Podobny in 2016)
The NSC statement (Mar 29) now has Diven Nunes under investigation for having released (to and from the White House) In ref to Nunes statement on Apr 6th Republican and Democratic lawmakers after having reviewed the same documents that prompted the original Nunes allegations, Rice and others were found nothing “unusual or illegal.” Instead, the bipartisan consensus appears to be that Susan Rice was simply doing her job, and that no politically motivated attempts to unmask took place.
Office of Inspector General- (Dept of Defense) announces to Chairman Jason Chafffetz (R) from Utah- head of the House Oversight Committee (chairman) that “this office has initiated an investigation to determine whether Gen Flynn failed to obtain required approval prior to receiving any emolument from a foreign government.” Elijah Cummings (D) from Maryland w/Chaffetz request from DOD any and all docs showing that Flynn was “cleared” to have taken foreign money as their agent.

Paul Manafort (Trumps campaign mngr.) “retro-actively” resisters as a Foreign Agent THIS WAS PROVEN as of May 11 2017 to have been a lie. He claims he did but as of now has not. Manafort was forced to leave the Trump campaign after investigators in Kiev said they were investigating him for accepting more than $12.7 million in secret payments (routed through shell companies in Belize) from Yanukovych’s Party of Regions where he worked as a political consultant for the ousted Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovych, a pro-Russia figure who was driven from office. Gen Flynn (fired by Trump for Russian ties) is also filing “retro-actively” to be registered as a Foreign Agent.
Washington Post poll relesed shows Democrates more “issue” driven while Repulicans are more “Party” driven.

Reuters runs a article on a “soon to be” Trump advisor, Karl Icahn (billionaire oil refinery owner) who mysteriously had “shorted ” (bets prices will drop) biofuel credits on the stock-market (a never before, move considered extremely odd by leading market investors at the time.) Icahn’s company (CVR Energy stop price/value doubles and earls a windfall of $455 mil) See Dec 21 2016. Soon after Trump is elected President Icahn pushs for regulations to “lower” the value of biofuel credits.

Senate Intelligence Committee’s ongoing investigation into Trump-Russia connections is held, conducting witness interviews w/US Intell analysts. (Ones that produced the Jan. report on Russia swaying the presidential election toward Trump
Trump/Military dropped America’s biggest non-nuclear bomb (costs sixteen million dollars ea.) on one of the smallest militias it faces anywhere in the world. ISIS-K (Khorasan Province) is estimated to have only about seven hundred fighters in Afghanistan, It was said to have “targeted a system of tunnels and caves.” Critics point out success may also be short-term and relative in context of America’s longest war. Like the U.S. missile strike conducted this month against a Syrian military base, the military decision to use a super bomb in Afghanistan has only underscored the shallowness of U.S. political and diplomatic strategy enhanced by Trumps U-turns and flip-flps on Syria (talked about staying out of), Russia’s being a close friend, NATO (being obsolete), calling China a currency manipulator, and putting into place a Federal worker hiring freeze.

New FEC investigation starting due to the Trump Administration filing (public) its “Report on Donations Accepted” for its Inaugural with many errors and fraudulent donors (approx. 1,500 donations total.) This has become an potential ‘Hidden Money” issue for three reasons:
- Because Trumps inaugural which had less than ½ of the 2009’s attendance and paid performances yet received over twice the amount of donations than the 2009 one. $50 mil vs. $107 mil.)
- Because the residual money has “disappeared” w/no accounting for it after the event
- Many “DUBIOUS” donations/donors that show “buying influence” with the administration and Fraud (cover-up) on the form: i.e.
- $666,000 donated by R.W. Habboush in exchange for being allowed to attend a national security meeting where he presented NSC w/planes to improve political relations w/Venezuela. He also was allowed a private meeting w/Steve Bannon. Habboush’s asked for a lifting of U.S. sanctions on Venezuela, (same as lifting sanctions against Russia for their takeover of Crimea) for his company (Energy) to do business there.
- Venezuela’s state-run oil company also donated $500,000 of its own to Trump’s inauguration
- $25,000 from a “Katherine Johnson” (proven false name and address) as one example, there are many
When “confronted” by the FEC initially the Trump election committee that made the filing “apologized” for the mistakes and is retracting its filing and “going to re-file” the paperwork and resubmit.

Trump breach’s national security again when boasting to Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte about two U.S. nuclear submarines near North Korea. Adding further “We have a lot of firepower over there,” Top Pentagon officials were quoted saying that “it gives away the element of surprise — an irony given his repeated declarations during the campaign that the US announces far too many of its military plans when it comes to combating ISIS.”
Gen. Flynn’s “Turkish client” (who paid him over $600,000 for lobbying their interests) name was released today: Ekim Alptekin. Ekim Alptekin (Turkish biz friend of Putin’s) and Dmitri “David” Zaikin (Head of Siberian Energy Group and old Russian business friend of Putin) Both of them with their strong financial ties to Vladimir Putin created two Washington DC , fake, “Turkish” organizations to hire General Flynn to work for them:
- The Turkish Heritage Organization

New data released (from old media files) shows Siberian EnergyGroup (SEG) the ONLY 100% Russian owned (with 100% of its assets in Russia) oil & gas company traded on our NY Stock Exchange, back in early 2000’s was managed by it’s founder and CEO David Zalkin (sp) Note: it was under SEC investigation for fraud and closed its company, only to reopen years later as, again, the now SEG. It’s old CEO Daivd Zalkin is an old friend and business partner with Ekim Alptekin who is the man that recently paid Gen. Flynn over half a million dollars. Alptekin has a long history of working in Russia directly for Putin. Zalkin and Alptekin are connected via Washington DC non-profit groups This is the hottest lead (being followed by federal agencies) when following the money trial from Flynn’s being paid back to Putin’s power base.

Under pressure to “get to the bottom” of the Trump/Russia issue (Gen Flynn vetting issue), the Senate Intelligence Committee hires former “NSA top lawyer” April F. Doss. Republicans on the committee are fighting to stop this addition to help “spring-board” the investigation which to-date has done nothing. The White House responded again by saying “this office is unable to conduct a search for responsive documents.” Senate Intelligence Committee is considering subpoenaing the WH and using impeachment if there is no compliance. The chairman-Jason Chafffetz of that committee is arguing against that action even thought he pushed oversight to Clintons emails adamantly.
Evelyn Farkas (fmr. US Deputy Asst Sec of Defense for Russia,) states that Trump/White House should have had Gen Flynn “update” his security clearance form SF-86 when he was put on Trumps staff. Clearances are “Active” for 5 years, Flynn’s came due BEFORE the need for “vetting”. The issue is when he reapplied in Jan 2016 to keep his “Active,” he didn’t “update” his information on the form showing his “illegal” foreign agent status. Flynn became directly involved in the Trump campaign in Feb 2016. If the Trump administration did its job correctly they should have that “updated” security clearance and Flynn’s OPM financials (showing his “illegal” (as he did not get Army approval to be a foreign agent) to “Vet” from. The White House isn’t releasing Flynn paperwork because their either KNEW about his ties w/Russia (hence the 3 tiered investigations going on) and are trying to “cover it up” or “they didn’t vet him via incompetence in the first place,” breaking several rules of law in allowing top-level access to US affairs.
The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act is now following Jared Kushner because of his ties to a Mr. Steinmetz’s who is involved in a NYC current trial for bribery, money laundering and fraud surrounding an oil deal in Guiana Africa. Steinmetz is also under DOJ investigation for other issues. Kushner and Steinmetz’s family have been documented doing $188 mil NY area real-estate deals together. Steinmetz was Kushner’s financer and has been linked to corruption by our government since 2012 and has had one of their spokesmen imprisoned by the DOJ for money laundering and bribing an official to gain oil access to Guiana.. Kushner started doing business w/this group at the same time these actions were known in the legal and financial world.
Apr. 27 2007
The Defense Intelligence Agency released to the public, that they did not locate any records of Gen Flynn seeking permission/approval to receive money from a foreign source. Flynn had received multiple payments from Turkish govt. to represent their interests here in the US. The House Oversight Committee asks publicly why the WH and President are refusing to hand over paperwork concerning there “Hire” for a top-level security position and showing why the White House fired him. House Oversight Committee and its chairman-Jason Chafffetz (R) under pressure from his constituents and facing a uphill fight w/the White House he resigns and drops out of politics!
The Senate Intelligence Committees probe into the Trump Administrations ties w/Russia admits it has to date filed no document requests, Issued no subpoenas, has interviewed no key witness’s and have not hired and full-time staffers (the norm) to pursue this issue.
Clint Watts (fmr. FBI Special Agent) states “the fact Gen. Flynn filed a month ago for a retroactive Army waiver to act as a foreign agent to Turkey shows he did in fact, a. lie when he told the FBI/DOJ that he didn’t’ meet with and receive payment from foreign movements and b. due to Flynn’s signing of docs showing when he left the Army he knew he had to clear such activity with DOD prior to acting. The main concerns with Gen. Flynn are his not telling the truth about: number of contacts with foreign agents, not telling the truth about what he spoke to Russian officials about, His not requesting permission to take money as a foreign sources, his not disclosing foreign source income from at least 4 different sources (3 Russian and 1 Turkish – but believed by FBI to have been a “dummy” front for Russian money) He believes Putin has used (what he calls) willful idiots (Manfort, Flynn, Sessions, etc.) to influence Trump to make policy that benefits Russia and his interests.
Jeff Sessions lies –US Attorney General is asked (multiple times by several different sources) “How did Mike Flynn get through the vetting process at the White House and become the Presidents National Security Advisor?” He consistently responded: “its impossible to learn everything,” “they did the best they can on vetting but, hey its very complex and, you know, it’s a hard process,” “If it happened I’m not sure if its an impropriety or not.” This is a blatant lie as Flynn was shown to have been involved w/Turkey and Russia via broadcasts on ALL the news channels (right, left, and middle), plus the administration had a hand-delivered letter and person-to-person briefing with Acting Attorney General Sally Yates (who he replaced and must have been briefed on) concerning Flynn and that the Congress had also sent a letter to the Administration sounding the alarm about Flynn. NOTE: DOJ which is under Sessions preview also had an ongoing investigation underway on Flynn at the time. He KNOWS the WH and TRUMP were made aware and that it “didn’t not slip through the cracks.”

Alexei Anatolievich Navalny is again attacked (March last time) and hospitalized in Moscow (covered in green die)- “the man Vladimir Putin fears most” Russian lawyer, political and financial activist-arrested numerous times by Russian authorities.

Japanese cyber-security group Trend Micro announced the Russian hackers known as Pawn Storm or Fancy Bear APT28 –(thought by US spy agencies and private cyber-security firms to be an arm of Russian intelligence) had targeted Macron (Marine Le Pen’s political opposition for president) using exactly the same tactics employed against the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in the operation which US authorities believe helped sway the election in Trump’s favor. Macron’s campaign had been the target of at least five sophisticated cyber-attacks since January aimed at accessing sensitive data. “Emmanuel Macron is the only candidate in the French presidential campaign to be targeted,”
Marine Le Pen is Frances far-right, anti-immigration Front National (FN) leader w/known financial ties to Putin in support of her campaign).
Marine Le Pen wants France to leave both the EU and NATO, like Britain’s BREXIT which was supported by Steve Bannon using a his London Breitbart office and paper to sway the vote for them to pull out of the EU. Bannon is now involved w/Le Pen and her xx to open a Breitbart office in Paris. It is believed that Breitbart may already be there but covertly.
NBC announced it has a “proven source” w/hard evidence that the Trump Transaction team (VP Pence) and the White House (Trump and staff) did run a background check on Gen. Flynn and had an official “vetting” prior to his taking the position of National Security Advisor for Trump. The source states “Trump and staff were aware of Flynn’s having ties w/Turkey” but that the vetting had been done casually. They knew but hired him anyway and now deny having that knowledge.
Trump calls (claims it was a “great” and “very friendly” conversation) and invites Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte (mass murder) for a visit w/him at the White House so they can “discuse” US/Philipine alliance, which Trump says are now “very positive.” Last year Duterte called our president (Obama) a “son of a whore”. US State Dept. and our Natil. Sec Council claim they had no idea or previous knowledge of Trump’s impetuious move to breech normal US response to a brutal dicatator like Duterte and open the WH doors to a know violater of human rights (which the US usually stands up for.)

Trump has EPA remove decades of climent change data recorded from public access which has been recorded and stored since the 1950’s and paid for by US tax dollars. This costly and well documented data-base is used to support science ventures across the spectrum.

Republican’s in congress appear to be trying to “bottle up” the Russia/Trump investigation. Charles “Chuck” Grassley (R), head of the Senate Judiciary Committee attacks FBI director Comey and his methods’ of investigation and states he finds much of his “evidence” false and unreliable and attempts to undercut Comey’s upcoming testimony to the Senate Intelligence Investigation. Also Sen. Bob Corker (R) currently the chairman of the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations states, “We’re not going to do a Russia sanctions bill!” This bill was to both put Russia on notice and to punish Russia for having “hacked” into our political process during the elections. Sen. Corker – he is one of the top five Senators, who have received campaign contributions from the Koch empire via “Americans for Prosperity.” Corker is best known for having failed to properly disclose millions of dollars in income from real estate, hedge funds and other investments since entering the Senate in 2007 and more recent is the focus of the FBI and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission investigators, who looking at Chattanooga-based CBL & Associates Properties Inc. for fraud (which Coker is heavily invested in and is very close friends of its owners). Grassley – known to have had Koch brothers support during election periods, was a major obstruction of the Supreme Court nomination, and a strong, outspoken supporter of Jeff Sessions having not had contact w/the Russians (later it was proven Sessions had and had lied to Congress about those meetings.) We KNOW/Proven the Russian’s have hacked into our system and we KNOW/proven that several members of Trumps staff had direct contact with many nefarious and powerful Russian agents and we KNOW/proven that Putin “kills” to stay in power yet the Republicans “for some odd reason” want to drop/stall and be done with this investigation!
Reminder: Clint Watts (top counter-terrorism expert) when speaking to the Senate Intelligence Committee said, “Follow the Russian Dead Body’s” when asked how to best proceed to determine “links” between the Trump campaign and Russian entities.
The Dead Bodies were listed today in the media (all have ties to the Kremlin and hold information Putin’s Govt would not want out in public:
The list published a “mysterious rash of Russian deaths” w/Putin believed to have been behind them. 38 known victims of unsolved murders/suspicious deaths’ since 2014 (when Russia took part of the Ukraine.) There were10 high-profile critics of Putin, 7 diplomats’, 6 associates of Kremlin power brokers who had a falling-out w/Putin. Two of these appear to be connected to the “British spy, Steel dossier “ alleging connections between Trumps campaign staff and Kremlin officials. 12 were shot, stabbed or beaten to death, 6 were blown up, 10 died of dubious natural causes, 1 died of mysterious head injuries, 1 had an “accident” in a public bath, 1 hanged in his jail cell, 1 died after drinking his coffee, 6 had “cause of death- unknown.” A few dead are:
- Former member of Russian parliament gunned down (daytime) in Kiev,
- Russian ambassador to UN drops dead at work
- Russian backed commander from Donetsk (Ukraine) is blown up in an elevator
- Russian media executive found dead in his Wash DC hotel room.
May 3 2017
FBI Dir Comey spoke in front of the Senate Intel Committee saying he “was nauseated” that his actions toward Clinton just before the election and his releasing information that was proven untrue had caused the possible swaying of the election toward Trump and further “not talking” about the investigation that the FBI had ongoing surrounding the Trump election “pre-election” and its possible collusion w/Russian agents.
Charles “Chuck” Grassley (R), head of the Senate Judiciary Committee again attacks FBI director Comey for his use of MI6’s retired Russian count-Intel officer Christopher Steele dossier that has so far proven to be “spot on” in quality Intel. Steel’s past performance in helping the FBI has been labeled as “Stellar” (he was the key to the World Soccer Org bust a while back.)
May 4, 2017
FBI Director Comey and NSA Director Michael Rogers Testify behind closed doors at the House Intl Committee on the Russia/Trump issue today. Republicans have now openly taken the stance that Comey’s investigation is being performed “unfounded,” yet numerous evidence and proof have been shown to exist. Republicans are going so far to “hint” that Steel’s report is in fact a Russian “disinformation” maneuver. Also the Republicans on the Intel committee tried to get Susan Rice to also testify on Monday upcoming when Sally Yeates testifies so they can “muddy the water” and divert attention from Yeates informing the WH about Flynn’s’ Russian connections to Trumps unfounded lies about being “wire-tapped” by Clinton. Rice declined stating it was only meant to be a “diversion” from the true focus at the hearing.” She pointed out that “invitation” only came from the Republicans committee leaders and was not a bi-partisan offer.
May 5, 2017
France’s presidential campaign has been attacked exactly like our elections were by the same attackers (APT-28 a Russian Intel group “fancy bear”-web protocol shows this) and Emmanuel Macron’s party (opposition party to Marine LePen who is financed by Putin) has had many staffers emails “leaked” online just like the Clinton campaign did. Some of the data is “real” and from Macrons staffers BUT a large amount of “faux” docs was laced into it. It was done at 4 mins. to midnight when the News black out went into effect (so they couldn’t rebuttal pre-election.) France has a legal “Election News Blackout” law. (no one can post any news pre-election to attempt to alter it.)
Note: A French nationalist Le Pen (financed by Putin) wants to pull France from the EU and NATO and is a fascist, white-power backer. Her father is a violent racist and openly denies the holocaust existed.
Trumps WH is shown to have “warned” Gen. Flynn that he was being watched by the FBI and NSA weeks BEFORE being relieved of his duties in the WH. Further the head of Trumps national security council transition team is shown to have asked the Obama admin officials for a classified DIA profile of Kislyak (one of Flynn’s Russian contacts) prior to Trump entering the WH. They say it was “prepared for Flynn!” The WH hired him anyway w/full knowledge of his past payments and connections to Russia persons.
It was announced that only 1 of 57 senate confirmed nominees for the Pentagon has been placed in that position. All the other positions “not filled” are from either nominating people that are below substandard and denied by Congress or Trumps admin team hasn’t even gotten around to finding anyone to nominate.

Sally Yeates testified about informing the White House (face to face w/White House Council Don McGan) that Gen. Flynn’s held ties to Russia PRIOR to his being installed into the WH. as the U.S. National Security Advisor. She claims her department felt it was such an emergency security issue that she didn’t wait for the form 302 (full investigation results) to be completed and needed to physically go to the WH to inform them ASAP. Remember she was fired from her position just two days after informing the President of this fact! She covered both his lying to the WH and Congress about his past activates, his failure to follow orders by the ARMY upon discharge to “file as a registered agent” and further she stated he had “underlying behavior” and conduct. It is a classified subject. James Clapper (former CIA dir.) testified that several European intelligence allies had provided our Intel agencies w/information to support Trump/Russia ties but that they were both too “sensitive and classified” to discuss in a open hearing. He also testified that his earlier statement concerning Trump/Russia ties that he “hadn’t seen any connections” was “OUT OF IGNORANCE” as he had not been informed nor involved w/the FBI’s ongoing collections of evidence in it’s investigation. He emphatically stated the WH and Trump couldn’t quote him “finding no evidence” as he himself had been duped and Clapper also told Sen. Gram he could not discuss his concerns of Trumps business’s holdings in Russia as it was sensitive and would impact the ongoing, investigation. Further Clapper refused to allow the Republicans (several) attempts during that hearing to shift the focus on “who leaked” these facts to the press rather than stay focused on this committees mail goal of seeking the relationship of Trumps team to Russian influences and meddling in our political systems operations.
FBI Director James Comey asks DOJ (Depty Attorney Gen. Mr. Rosenstein) for more resources to help accelerate the Trump/Russia inquiry. DOJ and Jeff Sessions deny he ever made that request.
FBI Director James Comey steps up Russia Probe and provids updates to top memebers of the Senate Intelligence Committee. He had shifted from a weekly briefing on the Trump connection to a daily one starting 3 weeks prior.
Trump told Vice President Pence and several senior aides (Reince Priebus, Stephen K. Bannon and Donald McGahn,) that he was ready to fire Comey. Trump summoned Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosensteinto the White House for a meeting, telling them to “find a reason why he was fireing him” as he could not admit it was for his dogged pursuit of the Trump/Russia investigation. Trump stated it was his belief that Comey was focusing too much on the Russia investigation rather than finding the cause of leaks to journalists
May 9 20017
Trump fires FBI Director James Comey who was supposed to testify again at the House Intelligence Committees hearings on Trump/Russia ties. Trump says he fired him on the advice of Attorney General Jeff Sessions who himself had to “recues” himself from being involved in the ongoing Russia/Trump (and also Hillary Clinton’s from a previous speech he made) investigation due to his known ties to Russia (and that subsequent investigation.) He (Sessions) has both recused himself from the investigation and then fired the person handling/leading that investigation, huh..,???? The craziness increases when DOJ announces they are firing Comey for “his miss-handling of the Secretary Clintons’ email investigation!” double-huh..,???? Why wait almost a year to fire him over an issue that Trump himself applauded back then??? (Sessions also had recused himself from any Hillary Clinton investigation.)
Comey’s firing is an ill-omen for those who are involved in and around the Trump/Russia investigation. First we see one wk after Trump taking office Sally Yates (Attn Gen) tells WH about Flynn’s connections/ties to Russia and warns them about letting him be the Nat’l Sec Advisor, She then gets fired. Yates had been considered to be a “straight shoot,” non-partisan, and strongly liked on both sides of the isle. Next we see Devin Nunes-head of House investigation cmte. looking into Trump/Russia ties, (right after FBI dir. Comey testified) goes nuts, running to WH late at night to get a “secret paper” from a former staffer for Gen. Flynn (Ezra Cohen-Watnick along w/Michael Ellis. The new Nat’l Sec. Advisor H.R. McMaster had tried to remove Watnick but was blocked by Trumps son-in-law Kushner who is himself under investigation,) and then go back to the WH (with media-coverage this time) and announce he has “new” information concerning the investigation. That “new info” was the paper the WH had given him before. Nunes then cancels the Sally Yates hearing, and by demand of both parties he was rightfully forced to recuse himself from being involved in that investigation. He is now under investigation by the House Ethics comte. himself. Next we see the House Oversight Cmte. look into Gen Flynn’s payments from foreign sources, and found extensive evidence Flynn was told to comply w/rules of law for such and had refused, accepting payments both secretly and illegally. These payments (4 were shown to have originated in Russia, w/1 routed through Turkey.) Trumps WH refused to hand over any documents about Flynn to the House Oversight Committee when asked. Committee head Jason Chaffetz “noted-up” and refused to “subpoena” the WH for the documents (which was very odd according to both parties representatives as that’s part of our Democratic systems “check and balance” powers.) Cheffetz then suddenly “quits” w/out notice, from both the head of that committee AND his position in congress!
Andrew McCabe is now the “Acting Director of the FBI.
The Senate Intelligence Committee announced sending a request to the Treasury Dept. “financial crimes unit” for information concerning Donald Trump or associates. The departments main concern is “international money laundering.”
May 10 2017
President Trump’s meets with the Russian foreign minister, Sergey V. Lavrov (connected to Gen. Flynn), in the Oval Office. The Russian press rep. (who also works for the Russian news agency Tasswas allowed to cover the event but not the American press who was denied access. Moscow aired many pictures and videos within minutes of the meeting but the WH “blacked out” any coverage here in the US.
Deputy Dir of FBI Andrew McCabe becomes the New Director of the FBI after Comey’s firing. McCabe is the person that lied to the WH (see Aug. 15 2017) about news showing ongoing contact between Trump associates and Russian top-level agents being BS and not to worry!
Multiple sources confirm the White House’s claims that it was the DOJ that recommended Pres. Trump fire the FBI Dir Comey was a lie and it was actually motivated by Trumps personal anger and frustration over the Trump/Russia investigation.
Trump announces he has hired a major DC law firm to represent him on Trump/Russia matters. Legal sources feel this might be a preparatory measure on his part for potential upcoming charges of “obstruction of Justice” (an impeachable offense.)
Gen Flynn was subpoenaed by the Senate Intel Cmte. He declined yesterday. Also subpoenas’ have been sent to his business partners and other associates.
Senate Intel Cmte states it has received from fired FBI director Comey evidence that is “alarming” concerning Trumps business ties to Russian interests; this fact was confirmed by Former CIA head James Clapper.
Sen. Wyden (Intelligence and Finance Cmte.) puts “hold” on Sigal Mandelkers nomination for Under Sec of the Treasury until the Treasury Department provides the Senate Intelligence Committee and Senate Finance Committees info and documents related to Russia and financial dealings w/ Trump and his associates.
May 11 2017
Trump tells Lester Holt on TV that Comey told him (Trump) that he was not under investigation. 3 times.
Trump in a live TV interview and by “tweets” states he fired Comey to basiclly end his investigation into Russia/Trump connections. He recants it was a DOJ decision and takes full responsibility. “Obstruction of Justice” is being talked about on the hill due to Trumps wordings.
Jeff Sessions (US Attorney Gen) is supposed to have been recused from any activity surrounding the Trump/Russia investigation yet he is openly involved in the firing of FBI director Comey motivated by this investigation. It appears Sessions has “un-recused” himself.
Paul Manafort (Trumps campaign mngr.) claims to have “retro-actively” registered as a Foreign Agent but that is found to be a lie. To this date his filing has yet to be entered??? Manaforts money trail is a “key” element being followed by the FBI/NSA in the ongoing investigation.
Sen. Amash (R) now backs a Bill supported by all Democrates to create an independent Russia Commission that was introduced in Feb. It would be a full-time, non-partisan commission.
NBC poll shows 54% of Americans see Trumps firing of Comey as “inappropriate” and 55% feel less confident that the Russian investigation will be conducted fairly. The poll also shows only 24% of Americans feel the firing was due to the Clinton email investigation.
May 12, 2017
Federal investigators ask Manafort for his Citizens Financial Group Inc. (Virginia) banking records to clairfy auditing issues as part of its prob in Russian influence into our election process.
Trump “tweets” an apparent threat to Comey when he states “He (Comey) better hope there was no recordings of the conversation at that dinner (referring to a dinner w/Trump back in Jan.) He (Trump) also “tweets” to the press that he may have to stop “press briefings” due to his staff being expected to be accurate on relaying information to the American people.
Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) of the Treasury Departments (combats money-laundering) announces it will be sharing its financial records w/the expanding Senate probe into possible money ties between Russia and Trump and his associates. Key quote of interest is “without these records the Senate committee wouldn’t be able to reach a conclusion on whether there was collusion between Trump, his associates and Russia during the campaign.” The focus seems to be Russian banks that have lent Trump money for business deals.
White House announces that Sen. John Cornyn (R) from Texas is in the running to be the new FBI Director. Cornyn is quoted as saying “I’ve heard what I think is a phony narrative that Trump did this (fire Comey) to squelch the investigation into Russia, which I don’t believe there’s any evidence of.” Dumb ass statement as Trump himself stated on live TV that he did in fact squash it for no other reason than he was “tired of hearing about the faux Russian investigation!”
May 15 2007
Trump is found to have leaked sensitive information (CODE WORD information which is higher than TOP SECRET) to the Russian Ambassador and Foreign minister at a WH meeting on May 10 2017. Intelligence officials (former and current) state that Trump shared more Intel w/Russia then we had shared w/our allies. It was confirmed that Trump met with Lavrov and Kislyak in the Oval Office in response to a personal request by Russia’s Putin.
While a US President can legally “declassify” any data they cannot “share” acquired data from non-US sources w/out their permission, which is a crime by international agreement. The data shared is believed to be easily ‘re-engineered” by Russia’s spy agencies to the point of putting its “source(s)” at risk. “Trump’s disclosures jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State”
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Deputy National Security adviser Dina Powell and National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster all claim this “leak” and that “This story is false,” “The story that came out tonight as reported is false,’’
See Jan 11-12 for reference: Trump meets (at the White House) w/Crown prince of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed al-Nahyan (MBZ nickname) MBZ had close ties to Putting and had arranged a secret meeting w/Trump rep Erik Price (Blackwater) and a Russian/Putin rep.

Trump meets at the White House w/ Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey’s president, w/poor human rights records running the country. Eddogan and the US have 4 issues: 1. They are a Nato ally of the US, but furious over our backing Kurdish fighters he claims are Turkish terrorists. 2. Erdogan survived a coup attempt, blaming Fethullah Gulen – a Turkish Islamist preacher who lives in exile in Pennsylvania that we wont extradite. 3. Trump is enamored w/abusive strong-man leaders like Erdogan (Also invited to WH were Egypt’s Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and Philippines leader Rodrigo Duterte who face human rights abuses.) 4. Erdogan is trying to “buy” Trump favors in exchange for allowing us to keep our base in S. Turkey. Note: Putin is investing over $1 billion into their partner Turkey.
May 16 2007
Early morning hours in response to Trump “leaking” intel to Russians, he “Tweets” he does not dispute that he might have provided enough details to reveal the source of the information and the manner in which it had been collected. His Tweets undercut the statements made by his advisers yesterday evening (Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson and General McMaster.) They stated Trumps talking w/Russians was “FALSE.” When next morning Trump himself confirmed took place.
Trump then followed up by defending his decision to share sensitive information about an Islamic State threat with Russian officials, saying it was his “absolute right” to do so in the interest of fighting terrorism. NSC spokesperson – Michael Anton is quoted as saying “The president can declassify anything he wants — just by saying it. There’s no formal process he needs to go through, but this is the kind of information that was so “highly classified” that it could subject anyone else to jail time.
Lt. Gen. McMaster, (Trumps National Security Adviser,) later tells reporters it had been “wholly appropriate” for Trump to share the information with the Russians and that he had not violated the expectations of the Middle Eastern ally that provided the intelligence. (Sergey V. Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister and Russian Ambassador Sergey I. Kislyak Lavrov –who is connected to Gen. Flynn and that investigation)
The Trump “leak” was considered dangerous enough that Trumps assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism, Thomas Bossert, placed calls to the directors of the CIA and the NSA, warning them of the Presidents leak to Sergey V. Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister and Sergey I. Kislyak Lavrov of highly classified information and that the WH was trying to do “damage control.” Bossert works for and reports to McMasters (National Security Adviser) so it was odd that McMasters states, “he doesn’t know why Bosser notified the CIA and NSA concerning Trumps leaking info to the Russian Ambassador and Foreign minister.
(NOTE: the US press were denied access to Trump oval office meeting in question, but the Russian press was, who later used it as “propaganda” against us. When discovered (Russia using their media clips in the WH meeting) Trump and the WH followed up that the Russians had “They Tricked Us!”???
Former CIA director David Cohen stated that “letting a Russian government photographer and his equipment into the Oval Office was a deadly serious matter.”
Bossert’s subordinates called for the “problematic portion” of Trump’s discussion (w/the Russians) to be stricken from internal memos and for the full transcript to be limited to a small circle of recipients. WH efforts to prevent sensitive details from being disseminated further or leaked were reveled.
NOTE: McMasters states, “this Trump sharing data w/Russians in the WH was a matter of national security” BUT, “Trumps leaking to the Russians at the WH meeting was not a matter of national security” ????? He contradicts himself.
It is discovered that Trumps “leak” concerned an Israeli ally and an ongoing operation against ISIS.
Confirmed by current FBI high ranking employees the media releases the existence of a memo generated by FBI Dir Comey (just before being fired) shows Trump telling Comey to “shut down” the federal investigation into Flynn and “I hope you can let this go”. Comey’s memo (shared w/other FBI ranking members) shows Comey told the president he could not do that. Comey was fired the next day. Instant response came back from both sides of the isle that if true, this would instigate an investigation into possible impeachment actions. Oversight committee chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) calls for memo to be given his committee and invites Comey to publicly testify.

White House replies, “this is not a truthful or accurate portrayal of the conversation between the president and Mr. Comey.”
Subpoenas (3) & Manafort. 1. To Manfort: It is documented that a new federal investigation subpoena has been issued to Paul Manafort (Trumps former campaign chairman who has yet to file for his FARA papers from having illegally be a “Agent” for other countries.) This subpoena is surrounding Manaforts loan ($3.5 mil.) made by his company Summerbreeze LLC against his home in Bridgehampton. 2. To Spruce Capital: This loan to Manaforts LLC using his home as collateral was made by Spruce Capital’s subsidiary SC3 co-owned by Joshua Crane a real estate partner of Donald Trump. Spruce is partially funded by Ukrainian-American real-estate magnate Alexander Rovt. (who tried to donate $10k to Trump on Election Day.) 3. To Citizens Financial Group Inc: (who gave a $2.7 mil loan to Manafort last summer)
Manafort is also being investigated by NY Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and Manhattan’
Law enforcement officials announce that both Flynn and Manfort are formally considered “subjects” of a criminal investigation. Remember Gen. Flynn’s attorney Robert Kelner has sought immunity for Flynn and stated, “he certainly has a story to tell, and he very much wants to tell it, should the circumstances permit.”
Trump has yet to release his “tapes” made where he Tweeted May 12, that “James Comey better hope that there are no “tapes” of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!”
Global cyber-attack under way is said to have all the earmarks of a N. Korea attack.

Feeling the FBI investigation may be imperiled (see may 12 notes) acting Attorney General Rob Rosenstein (because Jeff Sessions was recused), appointed former FBI Director Robert Mueller as Special Counsel to oversee the Russia/Trump investigation. United States National Intelligence Oversight committee– The “Gang of Eight”, was briefed about this appointment.
Robert Mueller –was a former Vietnam combat Marine earning the Bronze Star & Purple Heart. Took over FBI Sept. 4 2001 and on Sept. 11 took over and restructured the FBI in the biggest investigation in history: 9/11. He and Comey stood up to Bush and Cheney about not getting involved in legal war acts. He is respected both w/in the FBI and both political parties.
Flynn is known to have told the Trump transition teams lawyer Donald McGahn II (lead by Pence) on Jan 24 2017 weeks before he was hired by Trump that “he was under investigation.” Flynn new this, a month earlier when the FBI told him he was under investigation. Trump hires him anyway.
Virginia’s veteran espionage prosecutor Brandon Van Grack issued subpoenas for Turkish businessman Ekim Alptekin. He gave Mike Flynn $600,000 in a lobbying deal just before President Donald Trump picked him to be national security adviser. He has known business ties to Russia, including a 2009 aviation financing deal negotiated with Vladimir Putin. Alptekin, in recent years helped to coordinate Turkish lobbying in Washington with Dmitri “David” Zaikin, a Soviet-born former executive in Russian energy and mining companies who also has had dealings with Putin’s government
Vnesheconombank (Putin controlled Russian state bank) is discovered to have injected more money into the Trump Toronto Project, which is in financial trouble. This is the same bank Jared Kushner admits he did not mention (Omitted) on his security clearance forms as having a meeting w/ its head.
May 18 2017
Put into the FBI and congressional Trump/Russia investigations records today was a report showing there were at least 18 NEW undisclosed contacts with Russian sources to advisers of the Trump campaign. “Unmasked” on that report was Gen. Flynn’s name, Sergei Kislyak’s (Russia’s ambassador to US who attended the WH oval office private meeting on May 10th) and Viktor Medvedchuk (known as Putin’s best friend, “fixer” and human rights violator) showed 6 NEW undisclosed contacts as phone calls between the two Russians and Trump advisers (including Flynn) The remaining 12 NEW contacts (meetings/emails/calls etc.) are being held as “Classified.” January 15 2017,
VP Pence is shown on at least 6 public occasions (news shows and interviews) to have lied and stated “emphatically” there were NO contacts between Trump officials and Russian intelligence sources. Pence also lied publicly when he stated “Comey was not fired for heading the Trump/Russia investigation” as Pres. Trump himself (after Pence lied) on May 11th acknowledged he did in fact “fire Comey” for that reason. Also of investigation is why Pence after being told on several occasions by proven sources he allowed Flynn to remain at his political posting for 18 days after it was KNOWN that Flynn was a security risk w/conflicts of interest!
May 19 2017
2 US officials and the law enforcement investigation of the Russia/Trump campaign announce the existence of a yet unnamed, White House adviser “close to Trump” as a NEW “person of interest” in the Russian collusion probes.
The “OFFICIAL WH RECORD” shows Trump (quote) telling the Russian’s in his Oval Office (closed door/no press) meeting on May 10 that: “I just fired the head of the FBI… I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.” , “Firing ‘nut Job’ Comey eased pressure from the investigation” , “He was crazy, a real nut job,” end quote. Remember Trump has called Ted Cruze “lying Ted,” Sen. John McCain “not a war hero,” and Chuck Tod “sleepy eyes.” He has also called different women publicly “Fat. Pig. Dog. Slob. Disgusting animal and ‘beautiful pieces of ass’ and ‘you have to treat ’em like sluts’.” I try to stay neutral but for a President to say such things seems to be tarnishing our appearance around the globe. This is just a tip of the iceberg that is publicly available. Google it!

Another legal team member of Trumps Russia defense team is Jay Sekulow a religious right, defender of christen rights organizations.
June 17, 2017
VP Mike Pence hires a Virginia lawyer (former federal prosecutor Richard Cullen) for protection during the Trump/Russia investigation and states publicly “only guilty persons need to hire a criminal defense attorney is an unproven claim.”
June 18, 2017
VP Pence creates Political Action Committee (PAC) ahead of 2018 and 2020 elections possibly in prep for Trump leaving office. There are suspicions (will clarify later) that this is to provide him w/legal funds to pay his new attorney.

June 19 2017
Federal Attorneys Eastern District of Virginia office’s Grand Jury has issued subpoenas and both Manafort and Flynn cases. This office is usually handles FISA and Nat’l security issue cases. This investigation is headed up by Dana Boente (brief Attny Gen of US). Konstantin Kilimnik has his name on these subpoenas (Russian GRU-spy who has close ties to Manafort by running Pails office in Ukraine.)

Ron Widen (Sen. on Intel committee) releases (stops blocking) his hold on the Trump nominee for Treasury Sec. because the Financial Crimes Unit at the Treasury department has agreed to release its collected information/records relevant to the Trump/Russia investigation to the Senate Intel Committee. One of the “focus’s by the Crimes Unit at Treasury. was the “group of investors” in Trumps SOHO towers project with him. (Satar was an investor and former convicted criminal who partnered w/Trump)
RICO lawsuit against Felix Satar and his joint company (w/Trump) has been allowed to move forward concerning Trumps SOHO
project. This law suit (records) shows that Putin and Russian money was a major funding of this venture run by Trump and Satar.
CIA director Mike Pompeo CIA (sworn in 3 days before Sally Yates informed WH of Flynn Russia blackmail concerns) is shown to have been in the oval office with Director Coats when Trump asked them to “minimize” press coverage. CIA Dir. Pompeo “missed” the Congressional deadline to state whether that did in fact take place yet he is shown to have had full-knowledge of Yates (and others) warnings about Flynn. It was shown that in the 18 days Flynn was allowed to “stay on” after all notifications given the White House, Flynn was (now known to be involved w/Russian agents) allowed by Pompeo have (and viewed) top access to and attended Top-Secret memos, briefings and meetings on national security. Pompeo had seen the FBI and CIA transcripts of collaborations between Flynn and Russian Intel officers yet still let him be in on top-level security events.

July 7 2017
Trump at G-20 meeting and is found later to have held two secret meetings w/Putin. When asked what was talked about in these secret meetings Trump answered “We discussed RUSSIAN ADOPTIONS” ) see July 19 2017.
July 8 2017
Trump Jr. states his Russian meeting (during the elections) at Trump towers including Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort was a “spur of the moment” happenstance where adoption of Russian children was casually discussed. He would weeks later admit it was because he was promised “dirt” Russians had on Clinton to use against her and help his dad become president.
July 9 2017
Paul Manafort disclosed to congressional investigators that he had attended a meeting (during the election) organized by Donald Trump Jr w/a Russian Lawyer (he states Trump Jr said the Russians had damaging information on Clinton for them to use during the election to help Trump Sr. get elected.)
Congress asks Donald Trump Jr. to answer questions for its committee surrounding his knowledge of election issues and Russian involvement.
July 10 2017
Donald Trump Jrs lawyer (Alan S. Futerfas) says he was just hired today because Congress has asked Trump Jr. to attend a “committee session, not under oath.” Records do show Trump Jr had in fact hired a lawyer back on June 27 2017 before any need was shown.
The Trump White House “Office of the Press Secretary” (James Barady press briefing rm) 2:28 pm EDT. Starts makes a weird statement “The DNC actually coordinated opposition research w/the Ukrainian Embassy..,” This was ODD as there had been to date NO evidence of such ever happening THEN: “See July 12 below” which seems this was a coordinated and pre-planned counter-attack by the WH in response to the growing pressure on the Trump Administration surrounding the Russian investigation.
July 11 2017
Donald Trump Jr. releases an email-chain (due to investigation requests concerning his undisclosed meeting at Trump tower w/Russian agents/lawyer during the elections) One portion (June 3 2016) of the emails shows a British contact (Rob Goldstone-friend of Trumps and does extensive work in Russia) to Trump Jr, where he (publicist Goldstone-who had just flew in from Moscow) says “the Prosecutor of Russia” who is Putin’s Prosecutor General, Yury Chaika (a well known REAL hatchet-man for Putin) “offers to provide the Trump campaign w/ official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary.” Trump Jr has changed his story 4 times and initially saying the meeting was about adoption and finally admits it was w/a high-ranking Russian government attorney (Natalia Veselnitskaya-worked directly for Yury Chaika) and a Putin counter-intelligence officer (Rinat Akhmetshin) to discuss Russia providing a U.S. group w/Intel to be used in an American election against an opponent. Trump Jr via these emails has/is admitting to “Prior” knowledge to an illegal event (conspiring w/an enemy of the US.) Also there was Ike Kaveladze’ – who had been busted in the 90’s for money laundering over $1.4 BILLION Russian dollars into the US. He is the senior vice president at Crocus Group, the real estate development company run by Azerbaijani-Russian oligarch Aras Agalarov) and Emin Agalarov (another Azerbaijani-Russian) and Paul Manofort Jared Kushner were also there. https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/3892196/Donald-Trump-Jr-Email-Exchange.pdf
U.S. Intel Agencies show and overview of what they knew/know: By spring of 2015 CIA/NSA monitored conversations of Russian Government officials discussing associates of Donald Trump (BEFORE campaign began.) They were observing and reporting on numerous meetings and activates concerning Trump and associates. By spring of 2016 US intelligence officials, tipped off by counterparts in Europe confirmed suspicions about Russian meddling in our election process and were warned that Russian money was flowing into the presidential election. May 2016 US Intel intercepted Russian military officials discussing ways to spread damaging info on Clinton. We see around labor day US CIA had data on Russian hackers discussing hot to get emails from Clintons server and transmit them to Gen. Flynn. The CIA had accumulated so much Intel on the Russians (money infusions/faux info/probable “turning” of US Trump associates etc. that they turned it all over to the FBI, which started their investigation back then that eventually lead to Dir. Comey to go before Congress and be approached by Trump to “cease and desist,” then firing him when he didn’t.
July 12 2017
CYBER BERKUT started posting (3:02 am) on the Internet, “stolen Hillary Emails” showing Clinton had been in collusion w/Ukrainian cyber-techs working against the Trump campaign. NOTE: CYBER BERKUT (FBI and CIA have stated they are a known alter-ego of “FANCY BEAR” – the Russian military intelligence unit which hacked our US elections)
Starting right after CYBE BERKUTs post, for the next 5 days FOX news runs segments on “it wasn’t the Trump campaign that colluded w/Russian spy networks but rather the real collusion was that Hillary had used the Ukrainian cyber people (?) to snoop on Trump.” FOX had been “played” by the Russian hacking machine that interfered with our election process in late 2016.
July 14 2017
Pres. Trump approaches the RNC chair (Ronna Romney McDaniel) to ask them, the Republican Party, to pay for his legal fees during the investigation. He is attempting to hire an attorney and put him on as White House Staff. McDaniel states she doesn’t think that is even legal. It appears there is an issue w/the Trumps having adequate legal funding for protection against potential upcoming events.
July 15 2017
Leaders at the Kiev Ukrainian ruling political party (strong ties to Putin/Kremlin) have stated the $17 mil. Paul Manafort claims (at FBI questioning) he received from them (2012-13) for “U.S. political representation” is not true and that “his” money came from another source.
July 17 2017
NY District Attorneys office has issued a subpoena for Paul Manafort’s bank records. It seeks records from Federal Savings Bank in Chicago run by Steve Calk (member of Trumps Economic Advisory Panel) concerning dubious $16mil dollar loans issued in Nov (Trump election) and Jan (Trump inauguration) 2017 to Manafort and his wife. The bank is very small and Manaforts loans equaled ¼ of the banks entire $67 mil equity capital (which is one of the “red flags” that set off this investigation.) Mr. Calk is known to have asked to become Mr. Trumps Army Secretary.
Pres Trump warns Mueller and his investigators against delving into his business dealings. A few days later he would pushback (via is lawyer Sekulow) and make threats to shutdown Mueller’s investigation if the Special Councils focused on Trumps Georgia (country) hotel deal w/the Silk Road Group where $12 million of BTA stolen bank monies were laundered. Skeulow warns Mueller that investigating this deal would constitute “exceeding his investigations mandate and would be outside the scope of the legitimate inquiry.”
Donald Trump hired a lawyer (Alan S. Futerfas hired on June 27)) for the Russian investigation who is being paid for by the “Trump for Reelection” fund made up from public tax-free donations to the newly formed entity.
July 18 2017
Mueller’s Special Counsel has asked Ike Kaveladze (busted for having money laundered over $1.4 billion Russian dollars into the US in the 90s to be interviewed. IT IS KNOWN NOW THAT IKE WAS AT THE TRUMP JR TOWER MEETING.
It is released that Trump and Putin had held a SECOND private (undisclosed) talk at the G-20 summit (the 1st one was scheduled for 30 min. but lasted over 2.5 hrs) The Russian press jumped on the meeting and right after announced it on their public media sites/TV BUT the US did not and kept it quiet. Intel and propaganda specialists point out this was allowing Russia to twist the meeting into their viewpoint alone. Trump is quoted as saying “They talked about adoptions.” See July 8, 2017.
Russian Goals believed to be behind their interference w/US elections’
- Isolate the U.S.
- Fracture Western alliances
- Removal of U.S. Sanctions
- End the Magitsky Act
- Become the deciding power in Syria
- Inert the U.S. State Department
- Return of Diplomatic compounds in MD and NY
- Continue with less restrictions intelligence operability in the U.S.
Robert Mueller’s Special Council seeks Deutsche Bank records showing they were the only Bank that would lend to Donald Trump after his string of bankruptcies (casino’s and hotels) in the 1990’s. This is the same bank now under investigation by the Federal Gov. for known Russian money laundering and has already paid hundreds of millions of dollars in fines to the US for previous money laundering convictions, and it is the bank that recently lent Kushner $285 million to buy real-estate from a known Russian money laundering firm. (see Nov. 2008, this report)
Walter Shaw director of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE) resigns out of protest to the Trump Administration’s overt breach of ethics and protocol and the lack of Congressional support for such.
July 19 2017
Pres Trump in a NYT interview makes a VERY ODD statement about his meeting in the oval office w/Russian diplomats (see May 10 2017). “It was not a long conversation, but it was, you know, could be 15 minutes. Just talked about things. Actually, it was very interesting, we talked about adoption.” This is ODD as it’s now known to be a “code” word used when discussing US/Russian sanctions and subsequent election meddling (see Aug. 24 2017 TRUMP JR TOWER MEETING MEMBERS)
Paul Manafort is shown (his 2016 financial records) that he was in debt for $17 million to “pro-Russian” interests just before he took over Trumps presidential campaign in March 2016. The money he owed was to Ivan Fursin (see July 20 2016 findings) The other Putin puppet he owed money to was Russian oligarch, Oleg B. Deripaska (Alum industry magnet) see June 2005 and 2006 in this report. Manafort worked for Oleg getting paid on one occasion $10 million to promote Putin and Russian policies here in the U.S. Manafort is accused by Oleg to have stolen $19 million from their joint venture in 2014 called “Black Sea Cable” and hiding it in the Cayman Islands. NOTE: fright after Trump earns the nomination, w/Manafort becoming his campaign manager Oleg Deripaska stops pursuing the his legal actions to get the $19 million Manafort owes him!!! MANAFORT TAKES THE TRUMP JOB WITHOUT A SALARY! Which is odd as he owes millions of dollars to two powerful Russian/Putin oligarchs.
Trump slams Jeff Sessions for recusing himself from the Russia/Trump investigation, then Rob Rosenstein surrounding failure to block the Special Councils investigations
July 20 2017
A 2011 RICO lawsuit filed in NYC against ???? Surrounding a scheme where Putin’s oil company Gaszprom, colluides with the Ukraine top government officials to launder money to those officials. Russia sold a “middle-man” Russian gas cheap and the Ukrainian leaders bought it an overpriced rate and pocketing the profits. The “middle-men” were Dmitry Firtash and Ivan Fursin where their profits were laundered here in the U.S. via a real-estate deals with an American partner “Paul Manafort “ This laundered money was then used to finance pro-Putin Ukraine politicians. Eventually the Putin bought government in Ukraine was over-thrown. One example was a Manafort-Firtash and Brad Zackson (Fred Trumps right-hand man.) $850 m NYC purchase of the Drake hotel.
Mueller announces that he is expanding his probe to Trumps business transactions siting issues like Trump selling apartments in his buildings to Russians, his involvement in a NY SoHo development w/Russian partners, the 2013 Miss Universe pageant in Moscow and Trumps sale of a Florida mansion to a Russian oligarch in 2008 for double the value of the property. Mueller is also investigating the foundation for why Trump owes hundreds of millions of dollars to Deutsche Bank in relationship to their financial “money laundering” recent convictions in NYC.
The investigators state the Deutsh Bank subpoenas (for Trump loan records) were triggered due to “Trumps very poor loan rating, yet qualifying and getting a $300 plus million loan from them.
Trumps lawyers instantly respond in a Washington Post interview by openly discussing “the presidents ability of pardoning powers for both his aides, family members, and himself.” His lawyers threatened to shut down the investigation if Mueller pursues Trumps financial records and they worry that “this could spread into the scrutinizing many years of Trumps deal-making. “ Trump told his aides “he was disturbed Mueller would be able to access several years of his tax returns.”
Mueller requests records from a past criminal tax evasion inquiry into Manafort.
Trumps legal teams spokesman (lawyer- Mark Corello) resigns.
July 21 2017
Marc Kasowitz, Trumps personal attorney quits and is replaced by John Dowd a white-collar crime lawyer.
Trumps pushback (via Sekulow) and potential threats to shutdown Mueller’s investigation IS linked to the Special Councils focus on Trumps George hotel deal w/the Silk Road Group where $12 million of BTA stolen bank monies were laundered. Skeulow warns Mueller that investigating this deal would constitute “exceeding his investigations mandate and would be outside the scope of the legitimate inquiry.”
Sekulow also says “…real-estate transactions in Palm Beach several years ago, in our view, this is far outside the scope of a legitimate investigation.”
Released to the public, information that U.S. Intelligence intercepts (of Sergey Kislyak’s, Russian ambassador, on two occasions, to his superiors in Moscow) show Jeff Sessions discussed Trump campaign-related matters and policy issues important to Moscow with Russian ambassador during the 2016 presidential race. Sessions denied it several times and lead to his recusal from any Russian/Trump investigations. “Sessions and Kislyak had substantive discussions on matters including Trumps position on Russia-elated issues and prospects for US/Russia relations in the Trump administration. “
Jared Kushner’s security clearance has come under question again concerning misleading and contradicting statements on his form (repeated non-disclosures) it was pointed out that this would include not only him but also his wife’s (Trumps daughter Ivanka) contacts w/Foreign agents. It was also announced today by the investigators that Jared and Ivanka had withheld assets and salaries/severances totaling more than $2.5 million on their financial filings.
President Trump bypasses the next-in-line (Mis Finleson- has a tough ethics background) and designates David J. Apol as acting director of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE), which determines “illegalities” and “recommends actions” against such. Apol is well known to be very “pro-Trump” and amendable to their wish’s and shown by his first task in office: “signing off of the Kushner’s “most recent revised” financial disclosure report. According to staff members at the Office of Government Ethics, Mr. Apol has advocated consulting with the White House before he issues certain policies — like one establishing rules related to legal defense funds that some Trump administration officials are setting up. He also wants to check with the White House before the office sends letters to members of Congress who have raised questions about White House ethics matters.
Chuck Grassley (Senate Judiciary Chairman) cancels Trump Jr. and Manafort committee testifying to an “unknown” future date.
Glenn Simpson (Fusion GPS founder,) was subpoenaed because he declined to attend testifying voluntarily. Grassley has been a BIG “pushback” person against the findings of the Fusion dossier whose allegations will be shown in the near future to be well founded. See Aug 22 2017 in this paper.
July 24 2017
Pres Trump again attacks Jeff Sessions and talks about “Sessions possibly lying to congress about Russian contacts.”
A third (and different) story about Jared Kushner’s failure to fill out his security form mentioning ALL Russian contacts was made known today by him. Jared Kushner admits there were additional contacts w/Russians during the election process that he had omitted. (April 2016). The first version given a few weeks ago was because VEB Bank (Russian/Putin controlled bank) admitted to investigators holding a series of meetings w/Kushner concerning business strategies. Next the White House stepped in and stated that wasn’t the reason but rather it was because Kushner was the ‘soon-to-be” Presidential advisor and was assigned the task of meeting what the bank (?) as a US diplomatic. Now today Kushner states it was “because Mr. Gorkov was so insistent and he (Jared) wanted to help by setting up a direct line between Putin and Trump Sr. Either way Kushner failed to list these REQUIRED filings of foreign contact w/Russians on his security application.
Electronic records were found during the Trump/Russia investigation to confirm a sustained relationship between a server registered to the Trump Organization and two servers registered to Alfa Bank (large Russian Bank w/close ties to Putin.) In October 2016 Hope Hicks, Trump campaign spokesperson, denied any communication or relationship with this or any other Russian entity. Brian Benczkowski (Trumps nominee to lead the DOJ criminal division) who is supposed to appear in front of the Senate tomorrow to be confirmed for that position Is found today to have previously represented ALPHA BANK (Putin’s bank) and had “push-backed” that there were any dubious issues w/those data-transfers between the Trump organization and ALPHA.
Christopher Wray, Trumps nomination (which passed in the Judiciary Committee and awaits the Senates full vote) for FBI director. It was exposed today that Wray had represented Christie during the Bridge-gate scandal paid for by the NJ public BUT had in fact been Christie’s personal attorney years before and up to that event BILLING the NJ tax payers all that time. Wray stayed on the taxpayers dole long after Bridgate ended. The structuring of the retention agreement and payments were such that over the 4 years it would never raise any focus to the fact. Christies cell phone used in the case was sought but it had been held by Wray and the beginning of the expose’ of this misuse of public funds. (2014-2017 for a billing rate of $2 million.)
July 25 2017
Again Pres Trump ridicules Jeff Sessions for having recued himself from the Trump/Russian Investigation.
Paul Manafort testifies before congress (closed doors)
July 26 2017
Paul Manafort’s home is raided by the FBI (search and seizure type) in pre-dawn hours w/out warning.
Special Investigators have sought cooperation from Manafot’s son-in-law in hopes of pressuring him (Manafort) to cooperate.
DOJ announces that Demytro Fritash, Paul Manaforts business associate (who he owns millions to) is a Top-Tier Russian mobster.
U.S. Justice Department is trying to extradite Firtash (Montfort’s partner and who Manafort owes millions to) for payments of laundered money in excess of $19.5 million in bribes in India and Andhra Pradish to mine titanium to sell to the U.S. aircraft manufacture BOEING. DOJ states some of that Bribe money was earmarked for U.S. individuals.
Brian Benczkowski is President Donald Trump’s nominee for Attorney General of the Criminal Division of the United States Department of Justice.- Today he disclosed to Congress that he started to represented Putin’s Alfa Bank (Russian bank connected to the Trump organization during the elections.) this year RIGHT after leaving Trumps transition team. He stayed working for ALFA until June 6th when he was nominated by Trump!

- Andrew McCabe—Trump openly attacking him
- James Baker—now under a DOJ criminal investigation ????
- Jim Rybicki
- David Bowdich
- Carl Ghattas
House Republicans call for a second special counsel to investigate Clinton, Comey and Lynch. This is a group from the House Judiciary committee who has totally ignored the entire Trump/Russian investigation and effectively “killed” it when Nunes pulled his bizarre WH stunt see Feb 15 & 17 and Mar 11 2017 this report.
Side note: ODD BEHAVIOR: Anthony Scaramucci (SH spokesman) goes bonkers on Reince Priebus and Steve Bannon at the White House in a unbelievable tirade of profanity. This falls in line with Trumps lawyer Marc Kasowitz making public profane remarks two weeks earlier and then Trumps other lawyer John Dowd publicly cursing out people a week later???
July 30 2917
Putin retaliates to US congressional sanctions (that Trump was forced to sign by congress begrudgingly) by ordering us to cut our Russian staff by 755 personnel. On Aug 2 Russian prime minister, Dmitry Medvedev states “The Trump administration has shown its total weakness by haneing over executive power to Congress in the most humiliating way.”

Trump Jr releases emails showing background of his Trump Tower meeting w/Russians. They show the meeting was arranged to provide the Trump camp Russian illegally hacked information to aide Trump to win the presidency and that the meeting was not about Adopting Russian Kids which was Trump Jr’s original story. This lie concerning the purpose of the meeting was today proven to have originated from the President himself when he dictated it on Air Force One while returning from Germany on July 8. Pres Trumps dictated statement said to tell the press “Trump Jr. was there to primarily discuss a program about the adoption of Russian Children.” The special counsel is investigating if this is to be seen as a presidential direct involved cover-up.
Chief of Staff Kelly fires Comm Dir Scaramucci after his foul mouth rant in public.

FOX NEWS reporter admits fabricating bizzar “Seth Rich Story” and “Clinton behind the Russian hack.” This story got so much traction w/Trump supporters that NPR took FOX to court where they admitted to its falsness. Fox admintted that it was designed to shit the blame from Russia and help put to bed speculation that President Trump colluded w/Russia. Pres Trump and Sean Spicer wanted the FOX article to run immedeatly upon being briefed by two FOX represetives. Maleia Zimerman was the main FOX news story fabricator who claims she was told by upper FOX management to run the story.

Both Pres Trump and Sec. of State Rex Tillerson verbally speak out about their displeasure w/the Sanctions Bill which “spanks Russia” for both illegal country take-over’s in the recent past and their interfering with out elections. Tillerson stated he wants to cut the funding of the Global Engagement Center at the State Dept.. McCain and Schumer were outraged when Tillersons office stated (RC Hammond) “the money is unwelcome because any extra funding for programs to counter Russian media influence would anger Moscow” McCain and Chuck Schumer respond: “this Administration favors Russian interests more than US ones” and worry Trumps Administration will cut budgets to the $80 m. to counter ISIS & Russian propaganda that Obama, created with a bi-Partisan measure (w/Sens. Portman & Murphy) called “Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act” w/adding an $80 m. budget infusion to that program, in response to Russia’s’ attacks during our election process (Dec. 23 2016). This activated the Global Engagement Center (State Dept.) w/80 employees that were responsible for fighting terrorists groups online like ISIS. This law expanded the departments mission to countering also “State Sponsored Campaigns against the U.S.” I.e. Russia’s attacks. This all fell under the Annual Defense Policy Bill.
HR McMasters fires Cohen-Watnick and “finishes cleaning house” at the National Security Council. In March Gen. McMasters tried to fire Ezra Cohen-Watnick the senior director for intelligence programs (hired by Gen Flynn who is being investigated for possible Treasonous activates against the US) but was blocked by Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner.
Trump expressed frustration today that his advisers cannot figure out how the US can help American businesses get “mineral rights” in Afghanistan. Intelligence agencies and policy think-tanks have warned this “taking” of a countries resources during a occupation would undermine and destroy all credibility with both its people and world governments for the actual reason we are there “to fight the terrorists that caused 9/11 and its after effects.
In response to the FOX NEWS claims that Russian hacking was done by a murdered DNC member, not the Trump/Russian faction, Rod Wheeler (FOX NEWS reporter) states FOX’s story was “to shift the blame from Russia and help put to bed speculation that President Trump colluded w/Russia.” A lawsuit has ensued claiming that the White House was involved w/Sean Spicer and Ed Butowsky getting President Trumps “go ahead” to run the story even thought there was no evidence or backing for it.
Trump campaign turned over to George Hartmann (Senate Judiciary Cmtee. spokesman per Grassley’s request,) 20,000 documents they have concerning the Russia/Election probe. The public will not be aware of this till Aug. 8.
Aug. 3 2017
Mueller’s Special Counsel takes the next step in bringing criminal charges by impaneling Washington DC Grand Jury in Russian/Trump probe started by the FBI the summer prior to Trumps election. It also started issuing subpoenas from this DC base today. It had been run solely in the Eastern Virginia District when means there are now to Federal districts handing potential Grand Juries. Mueller used the fact that the Presidency and took up residence at the White House (DC) and many of the potential cries would have occurred in the District (i.e. lying on forms and to federal agents) to move the venue there. Mueller’s Special Counsel took over the Flynn and Manafort Investigations and later the Kushner, Trump Jr ones.
Trumps legal team makes bizarre response to Mueller’s Grand Jury move. Johan Dowd, Ty Cobb, and Jay Sekulow, all state “… we have no reason to believe President Trump is under investigation.”
Michael Flynn discloses new income and consulting roles today (ties to a data firm and transition pay) He reports earning $28,000 from Trump presidential transition and $5,000 plus as a consultant to a group planning to build nuclear power plants across the Middle East and $140,00 plus for consulting to Minneapolis based NJK. While is “6 mos.” late corrected filing added only about another $175,000 to his total earnings, it is its “source” that he was trying to hid, not the amount. His previous filed earnings were for $1.3 m. Flynn had also consulted for SCL Group; a Virginia-based company related to Cambridge Analytica, (largely behind the Brexit campaign of Britain leaving the EU,) is funded by Robert Mercer and was the data mining and analysis firm that worked with Trump’s campaign. Flynn was vice chairman at GreenZone Systems, a tech firm funded by NJK headed by Bijan Kian (on Trump’s national security transition team and former director of the U.S. Export-Import Bank), a business partner in Flynn Intel Group, which is now under scrutiny by federal and congressional investigators for its role in research and lobbying for a Turkish businessman Kamil Ekim Alptekin) who is tied to the government of Turkey and probably a “front” for Russian money laundering.
NOTE: Alptekin worked closely with Ukraine-born businessman Dmitri “David” Zaikan and both men have negotiated business deals with Vladimir Putin’s government. It is believed that Alptekin, in essence “recruited” Flynn to have access to the Trump Administration to gain an easier time of achieving his goals under Trump than what he got under Barack Obama. David Zaikin made Russian energy deals, advised Eastern European parties, brokered condos at Toronto’s Trump Tower, and teamed up with the man who hired Michael Flynn. Zaikin has a long track record of partnering with powerful Russian businesspeople and government officials, mostly involving energy and mining deals. More recently, Zaikin has done political work in Eastern Europe, advising parties in Albania and Macedonia that have drifted toward the Kremlin. Zaikin also has business connections to Trump. Working at a real estate agency in Toronto in the 2000s, Zaikin brokered sales in one of the city’s new high-rises: the Trump International Hotel and Tower. Perhaps coincidentally, Zaikin was also close with a Russian woman who was the exclusive agent for one of Trump’s Florida developments and who was branded “Trump’s Russian hand’’

2 House Intelligence Committee Republican staffers travel to London to find/talk to Britain’s MI-6 operative/spy (Christopher Steele’s) who had compiled the “Dossier” which is alleged to have laid out the “dirt” Putin/Russia has on Trump. Of interest neither the House Intel committee Republicans did not tell their fellow Democrats on the panel, or the Senate Intel Committee or Mueller’s special counsel investigators about this pursuit of Steele.
Aug 6 2017
Adam Shiff confirms he didn’t know nor none of the Democrat’s didn’t know AND Congressman Mike Connaway (head of house Committee) didn’t know about the two Republican staffers being sent to England to find Christopher Steele.
Aug. 7 2017
the 2 House Intelligence Committee Republican staffers travel to London to find spy Christopher Steele’s were found out to have been sent by a long standing aide to Devin Nunes (who had stonewalled the house investigation into the Trump/Russia matter) Nunes was supposedly recused from being involved in this investigation last March and who is under a House Ethics committee investigation for his actions. Behind closed intel doors it is being discussed that Trump had asked Nunes to attempt to locate Steele for “self-serving” purposes.
Sec. of State, Rex Tillerson announces our steps against Russia’s throwing out our diplomats on July 30th. That will make our response over 5 weeks late/past the event???
Special Counsel requests Flynn documents from the White House for Russia probe.
Huh??? Trumps Mar-a-Lago resort has asked the Labor Department for permission to hire 70 “non-US resident” un-skilled foreign laborers for staff on H2 visas. This is odd as the resort only ran a 2 day add, buried in the back, in small print for labor and they had to apply by Fax? Ironically took place on “Made in American” week and when Steven Miller at the White house unveiled the administrations new immigration plan which cracks down on US companies being able to hire foreign workers. Sorry this was to weird a fact so had to include it.
Putin announces pursuing a Russian cyber-economic system similar to “Bit-Coin” (crypto-currency.) Reasons stated by the CIA are: due to “sanctions” (like the ones our Congress just put in place, which Trump and his administration were opposed to) as they make it harder for Putin’s oligarchy to evade sanctions and to launder money and “buy” influence overtly (conventional bribing/cohesion/money laundering etc.) The Russians threatened imprisonment for crypto-currency use up to a year ago but with our U.S. sanctioning has caused them to rethink its use. Dmitri Kovtun, (former Russian agent believed to have assassinated Alexander Litvinenko by plutonium 210 poising for his attempts to expose Russian high level corruption) was documented saying at a conference “this crypto-currency sounds like an excellent method to get around sanctions.”
Aug. 8 2017
We learn that on Aug. 2 the Trump campaign turned over 20,000 documents to the Senate Judiciary Committee in the Russia/election probe.
Side-note: DIA announces, again (See Apr 2013) that N. Korea has ability to Nuke US. N. Korea says it will fire missile at Guam if the US doesn’t’ back down on threats. Intel feels they MAY have that capability
Aug 9 2017
Trump announces two US Attorney appointments, both of which are “key” appointment locations for the Trump/Russia investigation. For the Eastern District of New York – Edward McNally (Involved in US corruption case, supposedly being relieved of legal debt in exchange for ‘testimony” supporting a huge state run scam causing several deaths involving 75 people that received prison time including the Governor. He is also a partner in Marc Kasowitz’s firm, who is Trumps personal lawyer) and for the Southern District of New York (Prêt Bharara’s old job see Apr 2014 and March 10, 2017) – Geoffrey Berman (law partner w/Rudy Giuliani) The White House usually lets a state’s senators recommend US attorney candidates See: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-04-28/trump-s-top-candidate-for-n-y-prosecutor-angered-chicago-feds
Cuba (a Russian Ally) found to have been targeting US diplomats in Havana using “sound waves to cause permanent hearing loss”
We learn today about the FBI’s raid on the Manafort home on July 26
Aug 10 2017
Paul Manafort drops his old legal team for that of Kevin Downing & Richard Hibey. Kevin Downing– a former DOJ prosecutor and senior litigation counsel for Tax evasions and fraud, Bank Secrecy act violations, Foreign corrupt practices act, mortgage fraud, tax shelters, Illegal crossborder banking, financial fraud cases and congressional investigations. Richard Hibey-famous as a spy lawyer who did the CIA Clare George case in 1992 and got George a “pardon” just weeks after his conviction.
Oddly Johan Dowd (Trumps personal lawyer) this came after Trump had stated he had little interaction w/Manafort in the past, so why then would Trumps “PERSONAL” lawyer be tweeting criticisms at 3:48am about Mueller’s raid for information on the Trump/Russia probe making statements like “this extraordinary invasive tool was employed for its shock value to try to intimidate Mr. Manafort and bring him to his knees (he says needs by mistake.) Dowd also says “extraordinary invasive” and a “gross abuse” of the judicial process. “seized privileged and confidential materials prepared for Mr. Manafort by his counsel to aid in his cooperation w/the congressional committees.” I have to ask why is Trumps personal lawyer doing the job for Manafort’s lawyer(s) (Kevin Downing & Richard Hibey). Dowd further stats he would call for a “motion to suppress the fruits of that search.” Intel suggests that because Manafort pled the 5th and refused to answer direct questions to the committee (July 25) that the investigation body was forced to get a warrant to get documents before they could be destroyed
Global Bank(s) subpoenas issued by Mueller’s Special Council for Manafort’s account(s) information and records of transactions and for his companies and long time business partner Rick Gates (involved in all Manaforts’ deals and Cayman offshore money launderings. Mueller has also sought out the Putin linked Ukrainian oligarch (name forthcoming.)
Trumps response to Putin’s throwing out 755 of our diplomats from Russia was to ‘Thank him” so he “could cute back on US State Dept. payroll, which with his actually “gutting” of the State Dept. seems to be a honest reply. Trump also followed up by stating that “there is no real reason for them (US diplomats) to go back? Of ALL the places in the world we need diplomats it seems to me to be Russia!. To date there are over 11 pages of “Job openings” at the State Dept. all with a “no-nomination” tag (shows no one is even being considered at this point.)
Aug 11 10`7
NYC tax records show Trump back in the 80’s (1986) had cheated the city out of $2.8 million owed for a real-estate deal where Trump bought the bankrupt Commodore Hotel to remodel and the City joint ventured w/him supplying tax breaks in exchange for profits to be used to stall NYC itself from going into bankruptcy. The investigation that ensued showed Trump had used two sets of books to cover-up the money he failed to pay the city per agreement. The Special Council is investigating this and other business dealings over the last 12 years (and of his family members) to like with his mounting debt as “cause” for having potentially gotten involved with Putin oligarchs and being used/coerced for payment to those debts. To cause: Trump was found to have used $258,000 of his 501c3 charity to settle legal problems in 2008 and its uses to “gifting” to Florida’s attorney general. His non-profit is so entangled in illegal actions that the NY Attorney General wont let him (he tried) to dissolve the foundation until the investigation is over.
Aug 12 2017
All Military Branch Chiefs (US Navy-Richardson, USMC-Neller US Army-Milley, US Air force -Goldfein, Nat’l Guard-Lengyel) condemn Trumps speech surrounding racial issues in Charlottesville Va.
Pres Trumps father, an outspoken bigot (Fed Trump) is shown (1927-March Brooklyn Daily Eagle, press pictures of that day) as a KKK Klansman (he was one of 1,000) marching with “Black Shirts” (Hitler Nazi supporters) into Queens NYC. 7 KKK members were arrested that day with Fred Trump (Donald’s dad) being one of them. Again this is recorded in several papers of that day.
Aug 13, 2017
Mueller announces he wants to interview Reince Priebus about is knowledge during the campaign, its transition period and after when he went to the White House w/Trump.
Aug 14 2017
Jared Kushner’s lawyer quit as his Russia/Trump defense lawyer today (Jamie Garelic-sp). Pres Trump is hiring Ty Cobb for legal advice on this matter
Group of lawyers filed suit against the Trump campaign for “Accepting Russian procured and Using Illegally gained and stolen private Information during the elections and the subsequent publication online.” This is in part a maneuver to subpoena and use “discovery” to get hidden collaboration and documents that would eventually be used in other criminal investigations taking place. The suit uses examples of Russia’s MO of using domestic locals as Intel insertion points (i.e. Possibilities that Manafort was turned by Konstantin Kilimnk, Flynn turned by Sergei Kislyak, Kushner & Trump Jr turned by Rinat Akhmetshin etc.)
Aug 15 2017
Ike Kaveladze was found out to have been the 8th person at the Trump Jr. Tower meeting with the Russian counter-intelligence agent, the Russian high level prosecutors office attorney, Trump Jr. Jared Kushner, Paul Manafort and two others. Kaveladze was found guilty of Russian money laundering here in the US in the 1990’s as the founder/owner of IBC (International Business Creations), which created businesses for Russians trying to launder money here. They made 236 bank accounts for 2000 businesses. and eventually feel under congressional investigation for money laundering by creating US businesses for Russian entities. (Moscow people trying to move money out of Russia) The founder admitted he obtained over 50 CitiBank credit cards for moving Russian dollars to the US. He also stated using the Commercial Bank of San Fran. for the same purpose. Both banks were fined and the Ca one shut down. Between them they laundered for Russian and East Europeans more than $1.4 billion into the US. The final congressional report stated that this was the POSTER CHILD for how to launder money in the US.
Beny Steinmetz (mining billionaire) gets arrested in Israeli for crimes including Fraud, breach of trust, money laundering and forging documents. . Jared Kushner and his company have done hundreds of millions of dollars in 2012 deals in downtown Manhattan NY with his long time friend Billionaire Beny Steinmetz who has now come under scrutiny by law enforcement authorities in four countries for issues like bribery and money-laundering. Kushner used financing from Steinmetz for those 2012 NYC real-estate deals and records show he (Jared) is still in debt to Beny for hundreds of millions of dollars. Intel shows that the Kushner NYC project may have been one of the warrants “listed” money-laundering scams. More to come but NOTE Mueller’s Special Council is looking into that matter with support from the Israeli government.
Jay Sekulow (Trump private lawyer) states ANY real-estate deals of Trumps are outside of the Special Councils legitimate inquiry.
Aug 16 2017
The FBIs lead of its counter-espionage dept. investigator Peter Strzok, was removed as the lead investigator for Trump/Russia investigation w/no apparent reason. He was given a position in the Human Resources HR department??? He had overseen the FBI’s Hillary email investigation who’s handling is now under DOJ’s Office of Inspector Generals as an investigation.
The FBI Trump/Russia investigation announces it has a Ukraine malware expert (online alias of “Profexer”) whose software/code was used by the Russians willing to work with them. This would be the first Russian-side material witness the Muller investigation would have access to.
Trump disbands his business advisory council in light of several members quitting in protest for his remarks about racial actives in Charlottesville Va.
Aug 18 2017
Steve Bannon fired after a year’s service by running and organizing Trumps campaign and then his subsequent title as head advisor to the President.
Carl Icon quits (Billionaire) the Trump administration today behind an US investigation (criminal) to his “conflicts of interest” while in office. Also Special asst to the President Julia Hann left and the White Houses Liaison director also quit. In under 8 mos. 10 key Trump administration people have been fired of left, 6 cabinet nominees have failed, and a dozen other lesser-known position holders have also gone.
Erik Prince (Mercenary group “Blackwater”) had a scheduled private meeting at Camp David today w/Trump, Pence and other military specialists) to discuss taking over US military interests in Afghanistan for $10 billion/yr. Steve Bannon was the “initiator” and organizer of his proposal for such a venture. Prince’s entry was blocked by HR McMasters who would not allow him access. Princes sister is Trumps second highest campaign contributor/supporter (after Robert Mercer- Bannons boss) and his pick for Education Sec. NOTE: Use “FIND” function to see all of Princes dubious and illegal actives in this paper.
Rex Tillerson, Carter Page, Paul Manafort, General Flynn, Jeff Sessions and George Papadopoulos were unique choices by Trump to head “key” positions in his Administration as none of them were known by or close to Trump prior to their coming on board. These four have only one common denominator (other than not being known by Trump prior to coming to office) is they all have direct ties with Russia and the Kremlin. Steven Bannon (and Kelly Ann Conway) was also an “unknown” to Trump until installed early into his campaign by Billionaire Mercer ($13.4 mil.)
NOTE: Mercer (Trumps main campaign supporter by both managers Bannon (from Mercers Breitbart) and Conway and buy money $13.4 million owns a $10 mil stake in a subsidiary of SCL Group which specializes in “election management strategies” and “messaging and information operations”, refined over 25 years in places like Afghanistan and Pakistan. The military knows it as “psyops” – psychological operations. (Mass propaganda that works by acting on people’s emotions, which is a MO of both Bannon and Trump.)
Aug 21, 2017
Erik Prince (Trump financial supporter and friend, founder of Blackwater Inc.- a mercenary army contractor and whose sister is Betsy Devoss is Trumps Education secretary) was denied by the Joint Chiefs and McMasters to be bid on Afghanistan’s war contracts. (Prince wanted $10 billion/yr to “take over the war effort.”) Erik Prince is confirmed to have a secret meeting in the Seychelles with a Russian close to the Kremlin and Prince is under U.S. investigation for deals w/China and Libya.
Aug 22, 2017
Trump and McConnell now in “open conflict.” This was seen publicly after their Aug 9ths “profane phone shouting match over two issues “Failure to defeat Obama Care” and “McConnell’s failure to impede the Russian investigation to protect Trump was announced. Senate majority leaders (Mitch McConnell) former Chief of Staff and lobbyist Billy Piper, is quoted as stating, “If Trump doesn’t back off Oconnell and other Republicans, he will face impeachment.” Trumps “Tweets” against McConnell all start on that Aug 9th date.
Trumps slamming of Mitch McConnell over the last few weeks is said by Republicans sources (who were briefed by Mitch on that conversation) to have been instigated by McConnell’s “not doing enough” when asked by Trump to protect him by derailing the Russian Investigations being conducted by U.S. Senate committees
Mitch McConnell states he “doubts Trump can save the Presidency” and “states he refuses to protect Trump from those investigations into Russian Interference..,” The US Code Title 18, Part I, Chpt 73 sec 1505 (Obstruction of Justice) was quoted according to Republican sources briefed on the event.
Trump is in Phoenix Az. is tonight using a “rally” (according to Republican sources) to undermine Arizona’s two Republican Senators (McCain & Flake,) the states Republican Gov. and its Democratic Mayor as a means to “get back at McConnell for not “protecting him” against the Russian Investigation. Trump has and is endorsing Kelli Wards (R) candidacy, which Mitch McConnell is against. McConnell is hosting a Republican fund raiser ((Aug 25th in Ky) to fight her campaign in Arizona’s upcoming elections next year. Also McConnell started using his PAC today to finance “heavy smear ads” against Ward.
10 hr “closed door- voluntary “ – testimony by Fusion GPS Research group’s founder, Glenn Simpson to the Senate Judiciary Committee where he provided the “Steele Dossier” with over 40,000 documents directly relating to the Russian interference into our election process in 2016 and aiding Trump to win the presidency. Fusion commissioned the report from the British MI6 officer Christopher Steele. Steele who just announced that he has been meeting w/the US FBI and provided them with the names of all his sources for ALL the allegations cited w/in it. Summary/claims of the “Dossier” is that: Trump and his campaign “knowingly” colluded w/Russians for support, That this collusion was the end product of over a years relationship w/Russia to put Trump into the White House, and the exchange of political information and strong financial ties w/Putin and his oligarchs.
Richard Ben-Veniste (Watergate prosecutor and 9/11 commission member) calls Simpsons “Dossier” w/released source names a “Roadmap” for ALL Trump/Russia investigations. Levy, Cunningham & Muse have requested the Senate Committee release the transcripts (make public) of today’s 10 hr. Simpson testimony. They are the legal representatives of Fusion GPS therefore the Senate committee has the legal right to now release the testimony to the public. The committees chairman Sen. Grassley when asked stated, “He wasn’t sure about letting the public have the days transcripts but didn’t see an issue with it and that the committee would have to vote on it.”
Ryan Zinkey (Sec. of Dept of Interior, appointed by Trump) is under investigation for attempting to intimidate Alaskan senators to change Lisa Murkowski vote on Obama Care.
Carl Icahn (Advisor of Regulations appointed by Trump) and owner of CVR Energy is under DOJ investigation for manipulating biofuel credits value on the stock market generating a company windfall of $455 million. (Scott Pruit EPA director appointed by Trump is also believed to have helped pass this regulation causing the profit.) Carl Ichan started to “short” these credits just before accepting Trumps offer to “join his team.” The White House, its administration and Ichan himself all DENY he every worked as an advisor to Pres Trump yet the Trump transition team announced “in writing” (press statement) on Dec 21, 2016 that Carl Icahn (Trumps richest advisor/donor during the campaign) will be his Advisor for Regulatory reform.
Aug 23 2017
Today Rick Wilson- a major Republican strategist states he heard through his own network, in July 2016 about the private investigation (MI6 “Dossier”) supporting Russia/Trump election interferences. Wilson was the first to publish this news around Halloween last year. “Leaked news” early Jan 2017 that Obama had also received a brief of this “Dossier from a MI6 agent” just before leaving office. “Buzzfeed” got a hold of this doc and shared it w/the public on Jan 10th. It was mentioned yesterday and reaffirmed today that the Dossier was compiled by a very reputable agency in the intelligence business called Fusion GPS. Fusion hired a former top MI6 agent use his and other Intel agency contacts to investigate Russian/Trump connections. Three main allegations were A. Russia had cultivated direct contact and support for Donald Trump becoming president for over 5 years. B. Moscow and the Kremlin had been feeding Trump and his team oppositional intelligence and maintained a regular flow of Intel to aide him for years. C. Russia was behind the leaks from the DNC and used WikiLeaks as a “cutout” to have plausible deniability in their release to aide Trump wins the election. This was stated to have been with Trumps and his campaigns full knowledge of its use prior to release. Jan 11th Wilson acknowledges this documents existence and potential validity.
Fusion GPS has to date offered ALL investigative US agencies complete “unredacted” copies of their report WITH over 40,000 collaborating documents and list of ALL sources and their names/contact info and calls it a ROADMAP for investigators as all the data has been compiled for them w/cited evidence provided. Fusion GPS states it “stands behind its findings 100% and that their investigations results are airtight. Fusions founder Glenn Simpson has already given these supporting documents for the original “Dossier” compiled by agent Steele to the Senate committee yesterday.
Copy of redacted Fusion GPS report can be found at: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3259984-Trump-Intelligence-Allegations.html
Trump is known to have contacted at least 3 republican senators this month venting frustration over Russia/campaign issues. One was Senate Foreign Relations chairman Bob Corker expressing displeasure w/Russian sanctioning bill and tried to talk Corker out of it. Trump was also recorded contacting Sen. Thom Tillis on Aug 7 complaining about the Mueller bill (Bill prevents Trump from firing Mueller during his investigation of Trump and his staff during the campaign)
Aug. 24, 2017
New information was released about Rinat Akhmetshin today. Akhmetshin is one of the 8 KNOWN participants’ at the Trump Tower meeting w/Manofort, Kushner and Trump Jr. It is now known that US and friendly Intel sources who are spyware-trackers on finding Russian spyware in key programs engineered faux docs for it to “pickup” and “send back to its origin” BUT where designed to feedback the location of that source when stolen. The hacks/malware had originated from a known “DC FIXER” named Mr. Kerimov (a Putin “FIXER” from Moscow who is known to use computer espionage to steal data and attack enemies of Putin.) who has been hired by Akhmtshin on numerous occasions when Putin needs to “reach out” to Russians and others out of his favor living in the US.
Kushner Companies hires a Crisis Manager (Eric Wachter of Finsbury who specializes in communications relating to crisis and issues management.) Jared was documented having sold “$500,000 Investor Visa’s” to wealthy Chinese, which the US has fined them for doing. Their Manhattan flagship building is piled in mounting debt due to a failed deal for cash infusions that feel with shadowy Chinese high-ranking politicians. He also known to have had a meeting w/a Russian backed international development bank where he tried to get financing for his troubled $1.8 billion purchase of his 666 Fifth Ave. building.
Kushner is also known to have received a $285 million loan from Deutsche Bank (who is currently under investigation by the Federal Gov. for known Russian money laundering.) This “loan” paid out to Kushner just before Election Day. He did not report this on his financial disclosure. He says he used this money to buy property from a Russian oligarch (whose firm has been cited for money-laundering) known as “the King of Diamonds” Lev Leviev (a close friend of Putin’s.) Lev Leviev is a business partner of the Russian-owned company Prevezon Holdings that was at the center of a multimillion-dollar lawsuit launched in New York. Under the leadership of US attorney Preet Bharara, who was fired by Trump in March, prosecutors pursued Prevezon for allegedly attempting to use Manhattan real estate deals to launder money stolen from the Russian treasury.
Kushner companies has done hundreds of millions of dollars of business w/Israeli Billionaire Beny Steinmetz who is also being investigated for doing illegal business (bribery and money laundering) in the U.S. and 3 other countries.
Known Members of the Trump JR. Tower Meeting on June 9th 2016
FACTS This meeting was “supposed” to have been surrounding “Russian children adoptions.” The meeting was held just AFTER the DNC had been hacked. It was just BEFORE the DNC stolen info was released. Leaking was first done by Guccifer 2.0 then DC Leaks and finally the full weponization of data came out one month later WikiLeaks.
- RUSSIAN CYBER HACKER “FIXER” – Rinat Akhmetshin– a known Russian/former Soviet counter-intelligence officer operating as a “Fixer” for Putin in the U.S. who uses advanced cyber-hacking as a weapon.
- RUSSIAN MONEY LAUNDERER – Ike Kaveladze – Congress exposed him for laundering over $1.4 Billion Russian dollars here in the U.S. back in the 90s
- RUSSIAN HIGH RANKING ATTORNEY – Natalia Veselnitskaya-works directly for Russian Chief Prosecutor Yury Chaika, Putin’s infamous “hatch man” w/many murdered/missing/imprisoned people attributed to his position.
- RUSSIAN BUSINESS & PUTIN GO BETWEEN (deal broker) – Rob Goldstone– long time friend of the Trumps and long time Russian businessman operating out of Moscow and living in Britain.
- TRANSLATOR – Anatoli Samochornov – a U.S. citizen working as a “for hire” licensed Translator
- TARGET – Donald Trump Jr. – Presidents son, w/obvious close access to him
- TARGET – Paul Manafort – At that time he was Trumps campaign manager w/ “now known” illegal money ties to Russia
- TARGET – Jared Kushner – Presidents Son-in-law, holding huge financial debt (mostly due to his Manhattan bldg.)
Trump has put Wilber Ross (Commerce Sec) in charge of investigating and appropriating if investment opportunities exists Afghanistan’s huge mineral reserves. This helps explain in part why Erik Price was brought in to “bid” on taking over the war (as contractors) from the U.S. military for $10 billion annually.
Aug 25 2017
New subpoenas issued by the Special Council in Russia/Trump investigation surrounding Mike Flynn and Paul Manaford. Porter Smith???
Sergei Gorka – Trumps Deputy Assistant and Trumps “non-qualified” Terrorism Advisor who couldn’t pass the security clearance, resigned.
Gary Cohn – Trumps White House Economic Advisor resigns today in protest to the presidents handling of Charlottesville Va.
Trump pardons Sheriff Arpaio (known bigot) who was convicted for contempt of court violating Latinos rights in Arizona.
Aug 28 2017
It was made public today that VTB Bank which Putin owns the controlling interest in 60.9%, was committed to financing Trumps “Trump Tower” project in Moscow. This was a Russian business deal Trump was running DURING THE CAMPAIGN (over 5 mos. with the signing by Trump to “go forward with the project” taking place Oct. 15th). We can see this “connection” when remembering Trumps voicing numerous supportive comments about Putin, and setting himself apart from his Republican Rivals for nomination, all the while claiming he “had to deals, never had any deals, and wasn’t planning on any future deals with Russia!”
4 Russian Banking firms Trump has had contact with before, during and after his election, Vnesheconom bank (VEB) a Putin controlled “slush-fund” operation having been involved w/Carter Page/spy event and meeting w/Jared Kushner in Oct., Alfa Bank a private Moscow based bank, tied to Trumps office at Trump Tower via cyber-traffic trails & SberBank who Trumps personal lead lawyer-Marc Kasowitz is also a lawyer for in a NY Federal case. NOTE: the US has sanctions against for operations in Crimea. And finally VTB Bank (an arm of the Russian Gov. who owns 60.9 percent of its voting shares,) which is also sanctioned by the U.S. for Crimea involvement.
Deutsche Bank is another dubious Trump bank relationship as they are under federal indictment for money laundering for Russian entities AND Trump owes them hundred of millions of dollars . Which is odd as Trumps “borrowing” ability was zero from all other banking sources “except them” due to his multiple defaults in both real-estate ventures and failed business startups and Trump had even filed lawsuits against them for his not having paid them back??!!! This is under Mueller investigation now.
Note: Trumps Justice Department’s criminal division nominee Brian A. Benczkowski, helped Russia’s Alfa Bank investigate whether its computer servers contacted the Trump Organization. A serious “conflict of interest” due to the ongoing investigation of Trump/Russia issues.
Trumps former lawyer Michael Cohen handed over (after being subpoena by the House Intel Cmt.) Trump Organization emails
Trump associates boasted (found in the documents turned over to the House by Cohen) that the Moscow business deal “will get Donald Elected!” Michael Cohen (Trumps lawyer at the time) says he discussed the Moscow project with Trump 3 times. Cohen says he wrote to Putin’s spokesman Dmitri Peskoc asking for help w/the Moscow Trump Tower project in Jan 2016.
Felix Sater (use “find” function to see his history in this paper) was also involved in the Trump Tower Moscow deal. He’s very dirty and a known mobster. He was in 2003-2015 (and beyond) a close business partner and friend to Trump AND was a Trump campaign member and behind the scenes advisor during the elections (carried a Trump campaign business card stating such.)
Felix Sater is “on record” in an email to Trumps lawyer Michael Cohen on 11/3/15 titled “Putin/Trump” saying “our boy” meaning Trump “can become president of the USA and we can engineer it. I will get all of Putins team to buy in on this. I will manage the process.” He also states “Michel, I arranged for Ivanka to sit in Putin’s private chair at his desk and office in the Kremlin. I know how to play it, and we will get this done.” Ivanka Trump when questioned today about having “sat in Putin’s chair” stated “that during the 2006 trip she took a brief tour of Red Square and the Kremlin as a tourist.” She stated it is possible she sat in Mr. Putin’s chair.”

Special Counsel Mueller has issued subpoenas for Paul Manafort’s lawyer Melissa Laurenza (w/Akin Gump Law Firm) for documents and testimony and a subpoena was issued for Jason Maloni – Manafort’s spokesman.
July 25 Manafort went before the Senate Intelligence committee turning over notes from the Trump Tower meeting w/Russians. The next day (July 26) the FBI runs an early morning raid on Manafort’s home and was said to have taken place because Mueller was unhappy that Manafort was handing over Docs to the Senate committee. (Manafort states the docs he gave the Senate were not ones that Mueller had asked for.) It is felt Mueller was “blindsided” by Manaforts turning up at the Senate.

Steele dossier summary:
- Trumps inner circle of Michael Cohen and Carter Page were in collusion w/Russian officials to exchange “services” to help Trump
- Claims there is an “extensive conspiracy” between Trump’s campaign team and the Kremlin. The plot was sanctioned at the “highest level” and involved Russian diplomatic staff based in the US. It adds that Russia was behind the hack of Democratic National Committee (DNC) emails and released them to WikiLeaks for reasons of “plausible deniability”. The dossier says information went in both directions: Trump’s team used moles within the DNC as well as hackers in the US and Russia. The report claims that the Trump campaign fed back to Moscow details on Russian oligarchs living in the US and their families.
- It says that in return for hacking the Democrats, Trump agreed not to mention Russia’s covert invasion of Ukraine. The issued would be “sidelined”. Instead, Trump would focus on US/Nato defence commitments in the Baltics and eastern Europe. The aim: “to deflect attention away from Ukraine, a priority for PUTIN who needed to cauterise the subject”.
- The dossier says that Trump was offered “various sweetener business deals” by the Kremlin,
- Russian spies put together compromising dossiers on both Clinton and Trump, the dossier says. The Clinton one was innocuous and mostly included bugged conversations.

It says Russia’s FSB spy agency obtained compromising sexual material – kompromat – from the hotel suite. “FSB has compromised TRUMP through his activities in Moscow sufficiently to be able to blackmail him,” it says.
