    Russia-linked disgraced Trump campaign official brags he’s ‘helping shape’ US foreign policy

    http://www.rawstory.com/2017/06/russ...xlc4.twitter#…

    Paul Manafort, the former campaign chairman for Donald Trump and the target of an FBI probe into Russian election interference, has been telling potential clients that he’s still got access to the president.
    Manafort has recently told a Chinese construction magnate that he could persuade the Trump administration to support any deal they made together because he remains in contact with the president and his team despite the federal investigation of his campaign activity, reported Politico.
    He’s also reportedly working with a telecommunications firm seeking regulatory approval from governments in Asia and the Middle East, as well as an investment fund claiming links to the Chinese government, the website reported.
    “He’s going around telling people that he’s still talking to the president and — even more than that — that he is helping to shape Trump’s foreign policy,” said a lawyer involved in discussions with the Chinese builder.

    Crooked H destroyed phones w/ hammer, 'bleached' emails, & had husband meet w/AG days before she was cleared- & they talk about obstruction?

    #@realDonaldTrump

    Why is that Hillary Clintons family and Dems dealings with Russia are not looked at, but my non-dealings are?

    BTW..Trump should check for the preferred methods of destroying secured forms of media...ie computer harddrives and cell phones when no longer in use and data has been wiped clean....

    "degausing and THEN using a hammer".......

    Definition of how Putin uses "whataboutism"......when a topic it to hot for comfort Putin always does a "what about this" taking one completely off the topic that is causing discomformt...

    Trump is no different....nor are any of his WH Staff.....

    BESIDES Trump is President not Clinton.....

    Why did Bob Mueller hire Lisa Page, who's partnered w/ an FBI task force in Budapest, Hungary?

    So, McKay and Gay have ties to Paul Manafort & Rick Gates. Manafort & Gates are linked to Russian oligarchs Oleg Deripaska & Dmitry Firtash

    The Russian oligarch Deripaska has very close personal ties to Putin as does Firtash who is fighting in Austrian courts to not be sent to the US under money laundering charges....and criminal racketeering...

    Deripaska at first announced he would be willing to come and testify for Trump BUT suddenly has decided remaining in Moscow is "safer" legally speaking....

    AND the Session perjury saga just keeps on continuing onward and upward....

    He has claimed to have little "recollection" of meeting the Russian Ambassador for a third time.....ember" if had any other meetings with say Russian lobbyists....BUT there were no more than three times and he could not "remember" having any contacts with anyone else associated to Russia....

    THEN this from the UK....

    Lobbyist for Russian interests says he attended dinners hosted by Sessions

    Richard Burt contradicts Jeff Sessions’ testimony that he didn’t believe he had contacts with lobbyists working for Russian interests during Trump’s campaign

    Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein just issued an unusual statement basically telling people not to believe leaks.

    Response from social media journalists that have repeatedly BROKE stories weeks before MSM have now confirmed the exact same story....

    NOW really pay attention to the actual statement and who it is attributed to....AND notice that his signature is not on the statement....

    This was released by DoJ AND only attributed to Rosenstein.....

    What it should have been is a release from the US AG NOW some will argue that he is recused BUT if you listened to him he is recused from the investigation BUT not from leading DoJ and in this role this release should have come from Sessions BUT he tap danced so much that no one would probably pay attention to him..

    Response to the release from social media journalists..CALL us we can inform you that your release is actually false....

    More Bad News For Jared Kushner as Mueller Follows the Money...reported on by social media journalists literally three months ago
    Drip, drip, drip.

    BREAKING: Mike Pence's attorney's law firm helped Russian oil project get $14 billion in funding...social media pointed to this several weeks ago.

    Formal complaint to the NY Bar as the Trump lawyer is not affiliated with the DC Bar Association...reported first by social media and that days ago. As a lawyer you can only work in the Bar areas you are associated to....and Trumps lawyer is a long way from his home base NY.

    So reread the DoJ statement and ask in whose benefit this release supports and why was it released??

    Current US government also runs its own version of infowarfare...and actually close to the Russian style....

    NEW: the White House is now referring questions about a potential oval office recording device to outside counsel

    http://www.thedailybeast.com/team-tr...o-my-lawyer-10

    BUT WAIT.....Trump publicly stated at his Romanian visit press conference that "he would let us know soon" SO now it goes to his "lawyer" not quite exactly what he stated he was going to do....

    Senate has given him two weeks to provide any tapes if they exist...and that was addressed straight to Trump not his lawyer....

    TWO of the Trump nominated judicial nominees are really just alt right ie white nationalist bloggers....

    http://www.npr.org/2017/06/15/533014...ntent=20170615


    "The Case of the Bloviating Bloggers."

    California attorney Damien Schiff, nominated by President Trump for a seat on the U.S. Court of Federal Claims.
    Pacific Legal Foundation
    That might be an apt title for the mini-drama that took place Wednesday when two judicial nominees came before the Senate Judiciary Committee, among the first batch President Trump has sent to the Senate for confirmation.
    Trump has more than 130 judicial vacancies to fill on the federal courts. The number is unusually large because Republicans blocked dozens of Obama appointees — including uncontroversial ones — in the final years of the Democratic administration. And now the new administration is moving to fill the same seats that were kept open, sometimes for two and three years.
    At Wednesday's hearing, the two nominees found themselves trying to explain hundreds of their own blog posts, posts they admitted were "intemperate" and "political." The posts included material ranging from radical rants, to conspiracy theories and false allegations.
    (Deleted)
    In the unlikely event that Kennedy does vote against either or both of the blogging nominees, that still would leave the committee's Democrats one vote shy of blocking the nominations. And that assumes the Democrats, outnumbered 11 to 9 on the committee, all vote the same way.

    SC Mueller has been hiring some of the best Federal and State criminal prosecutors currently available.....

    Mueller team has hired investigators with expertise in Russian mafia cases

    Indications are now this investigation is wide ranging and deep and has been ongoing for over a year now at the FBI level....

    Jared Kushner's business interests are a major target of the investigation
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/ampht...8f_story.html#

    Eric J. is being investigated for his ties to a billionaire Latvian oligarch who had deep ties to a Mexican drug cartel that he is alleged to have been money laundering for.... and who Eric J was approaching to invest into the Trump business ventures....#

    HERE goes the next Trump FP failure.......

    Deeming Obama thaw with Cuba to be appeasement, Trump plans to reimpose travel and commercial limits.
    https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/15/u...ef=todayspaper

    By pandering to the local Cuba Miami Republican voters Trump proves again to global leaders the US FP cannot now be trusted and in the world of FP.....trust is a critical item in building any support alliance for a major crisis....

    BUT hey....."American First"..."MAGA"

    Ever notice just how Trump sidesteps "personal leadership responsibility"????

    The new US mini-surge in Afghanistan is owned fairly and squarely by the Pentagon - Trump told them to decide the troop numbers themselves

    REMEMBER Trump still owes the American people his "90 day plan on how to defeat IS and AQ"...JUST as he owes the US his "90 day plan on how to protect the US from cyber attacks"

    interesting that both SoS Tillerson and Trump want to water down the coming Congressional sanctions on Russia .......

    Senate sanctions on Russia target NordStream2 companies- could make pipeline too risky and expensive for Russia.
