As you read this story, imagine it was Barack Obama at the center of this story and not Donald Trump. And imagine how every right-wing network and publication would be all over it. And rightfully so, because it is incredibly suspicious.
Police in Québec, Canada are investigating a shooting outside a hotel that injured Valeriy Tarasenko, an entrepreneur with ties to a woman who posed as an heiress to the Rothschild fortune to infiltrate Donald Trumps Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach.
Police were called on Friday about a shooting outside of a hotel in Estérel, Quebec. Radio-Canada reported that three people opened fire on three others in the parking lot, before quickly leaving in a black SUV.
In the months before the shooting, Mr. Tarasenko met with the FBI and turned over a host of documents and photos tied to an investigation into Ms. Yashchyshyn, her trips to the former presidents estate, and businesses she formed two with Mr. Tarasenko over the past seven years, records and interviews show.
So yeah, thats not good. Man helps the FBI, and then the man ends up getting shot by three men who escape in a black SUV. And those files dont necessarily pertain just to his partner, they could be files she scooped up in Mar-a-Lago itself. Speculating, this woman fits the perfect profile of a spy. She speaks Russian. She is a Ukrainian but some Ukrainians were more loyal to Russia than Ukraine. There are a lot of moving parts here and the Tarasenkos injuries are grievous enough that he wasnt shot as a message to him. They were trying to kill him (At least, thats by far the most rational explanation.) This is just soooo
something is going on.

(21,578 posts)right now over the stolen documents. Pressure from the FBI, DOJ, and district court, plus Agent Orange's penchant for vengeance are enough for him to retaliate in an attempt to kill. Russians would not have failed. The killers in this case do not look like the Russian caliber of professionals. Who else would do it?
Post #25 is also a possibility.

(70,567 posts)A man shot near a lakeside hotel in the Laurentians on Friday and linked to a fake heiress who gained access to former U.S. president Donald Trump at his Florida estate was once described by his wifes step-father as being involved in some unclear activities.
Valeriy Tarasenko, who is about to turn 45, survived the shooting, which occurred in Estérel, about 95 kilometres north of Montreal. However, the suspect or suspects in what has been described as a targeted shooting are still at large, the Sûreté du Québec reported on Saturday.
We have nothing more to say than its a 44-year-old man who was injured, his life is not in danger and an investigation is underway, SQ Sgt. Marythé Bolduc said. The police would not say, for example, if they have leads on the suspect or suspects, whether Tarasenko was, as initially reported, shot in the hotels parking lot and whether Tarasenko was accompanied at the time of the shooting.
snip
Tarasenko is a former associate of Inna Yashchyshyn, who made international headlines this year after it was revealed she had gained access to Trump and members of his inner circle at his Mar-a-Lago estate by pretending to be a Rothschild family heiress. A picture taken of her next to the former president on his golf course was widely published.

Good God in Butter Donald Trump was and still an active Russian agent .... So the phony Rothschild woman was
@ Merde a Logo picking up or scanning our nation's top secrets to take back to a (suspected) Russian agent
Valeriy Tarasenko who then took that information back to Putin and once she was compromised Putin started
doing some clean up work. Or maybe the faux Rothschild was working for the FSB/Putin and Tarasenko told the
FBI about her and Putin needed him gone.

(63,220 posts)When I asked why, in my town, suspects are routinely jailed pending trial for much less serious crimes, I'm told that this doesn't happen.
The most important thing is that we never doubt or question The System. The System is pure and good and above reproach, even as Trump stampedes around the country from Klan rally to Klan rally, poisoning potential jury pools and whipping his kkkultists into a frenzy.
At least we have The System.

(63,220 posts)Perhaps you can explain to me Biden's role in the process.
Whatever else can be said about the various investigations, it is nevertheless factually true that much lesser offenders are routinely charged and jailed, and they don't get to lead the DoJ on a months-long wild goose chase.
But Trump? "Sorry to inconvenience you, sir!"

(20,726 posts)My 1st 2 questions:
1. Who fooled the asshat? Who told him she was a rothchild? Why did he believe it?
2. Why would a Rothchild heiress wanna be within 20 miles of a failed, soon-to-be-indicted casino gangster?

(86,765 posts)Make it look like ineptitude when it was something much different. She was alleged to have that identity, in case of inquiry, she's a spy. She probably went to shithole-by-the-sea to retrieve something and transported it to wherever. That an associate had information to offer to the FBI is interesting and his role is unclear other than his cooperation and assassination attempt.
So it would be interesting if some of the missing documents were included in what was shared to the FBI, could that be the point where the indictment is approved? I feel that DOJ is waiting for something, besides the election, so I am watching for something big.

Inna Yashchyshyn, a Russian-speaking Ukrainian immigrant who was identified by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project over the summer for posing as Anna de Rothschild at Mar-a-Lago.
Tarasenko, who was born in Ukraine and raised in Moscow, told the Post-Gazette and OCCRP that he had hired Yashchyshyn in 2014 to live in his Miami condo and watch his two daughters while he traveled on business.
The FBI, according to the report, has been looking into a Miami charity, United Hearts of Mercy, Yashchyshyn launched in 2015 and carries the same name as a non-profit founded by Tarasenko in Canada in 2010.
According to a statement by the charitys accountant that was turned over to the FBI, the charity, established to collect money for impoverished children, was in fact a front for organized crime.
