Anton Lunyk is a Russian ..... And he got a 9 second phone call from the White House on 1/6/21





Russian-speaking immigrant from New York was arrested for participating in the storming of the Capitol

https://newyork.forumdaily.com/en/russkoyazychnogo-immigranta-iz-nyu-jorka-arestovali-za-uchastie-v-shturme-kapitoliya/

According to court documents, Lunyk was arrested after a student who attended college with him saw a screenshot of a video of the storming of the Capitol posted on Twitter by the New York Post. This guy also provided law enforcement officers with the suspect's phone number and Instagram account information.

The tweet of the publication was about the white nationalist Tim Gionet, who was streaming the storming of the Capitol; Lunyk could be seen in the background of his recording.

*******
Tell me again that there was no connection between Trump and Russia.

Just remember this thread

September 22, 2022

Happy thread ... "Trump is 100% responsible for "the professional fees and expenses."

Trump is 100% responsible for "the professional fees and expenses of the Special Master and any
professionals, support staff, and expert consultants engaged at the Special Master's request,"
Cannon ruled.

I think Judge Dearie salary is already being paid but Trump is on the hook for everything else.

Guess who was never sued for 1/4 of a billion $s?




BTW A.G. James dropped the hammer today. Sued for 1/4 of a billion $s, the Trump organization
will no longer be able to do business in NY State, Don Jr, Eric, and Princess McPlastic are in the shit
house too, the IRS was put on notice about the Trump organization, and so was the DoJ (SDNY).

11:30 AM: Newsweek, Letitia James' 'Major Announcement' Prompts Trump Fraud Lawsuit Speculation

Donny's really bad week is about to get worse. A.G. James' civil case against Don, his family, and
the Trump organization might be the end of his doing business in NY State.

********
New York Attorney General Letitia James announced she will make a "major announcement" on Wednesday morning, prompting speculation she is due to give an update on her investigation into Donald Trump's business affairs.

The teasing of the "major announcement" has led to many people predicting that James will reveal new details on her long-running civil probe into alleged tax fraud at The Trump Organization, or launch a civil suit against the former president.

snip
James' office is looking at allegations The Trump Organization exaggerated the value of a number of assets and properties to obtain better loans and other financial benefits.
snip

Donald Trump has frequently denied any wrongdoing, calling the investigation into his businesses a "witch hunt," and accusing James, who is Black, of being "racist" towards him.

There is speculation that the announcement from James will be related to recent reports that the New York attorney general's office rejected Trump's lawyer's offer of a settlement with regards to the investigation, and James is preparing to launch a lawsuit alleging fraud against the former president.

*******

Trump plead the 5th 440 times when he was questioned by Ms. James office last spring about these issues
and in a civil case taking the 5th can be seen as a guilty plea.

So did DeSantis use federal C-19 relief funds via the Florida DOT to fund the planes, the phony ...

.... brochures that promised the Venezuelans $, jobs, housing, and help with immigration, and
to pay for the couple (coyotes) who lied to the Venezuelans to get them on the planes?

That has to break some kind of law or laws.

"Earlier surveys showed that about half of Venezuelans in the U.S. live in Florida."

DeSantis' use of those Venezuelans might very well have cost him the election.
I have seen stories that even the Cuban population in Florida is pissed off too.

I hope Christ is running spots in Spanish on Spanish radio & TV and social media sites.

"From 2010 to 2019, the Venezuelan population in the U.S. increased 126 percent to 540,000, more by far than people with roots in any other nation. The top three nations are Latin American, but Guatemala is a distant No. 2 at 49 percent growth followed by No. 3 Honduras at 47 percent.

Earlier surveys showed that about half of Venezuelans in the U.S. live in Florida."

Didn't DeSantis use money from FDOT (that $ was from the federal government and it was supposed to have been
for C-19 relief)to not only pay for the charter planes but for the couple that recruited the Venezuelans with lies about
jobs, housing and help with immigration? The people of Florida should hear that story too.
