Putin has the IOUs.

As if owing Deripaska and the oligarchs that pass for Russian kleptocracy billions is nothing.

And what DID they talk about without translators, aides or witnesses?



Bet it wasn’t Putin’s golf game.

"You're sending it to Mar-a-Lago or wherever."



I’d like to know the whomever.



“If you’re the president of the United States, you can declassify just by saying it’s declassified — even by thinking about it,” Trump said. “Because you’re sending it to Mar-a-Lago or wherever you’re sending it. There doesn’t have to be a process. There can be a process, but there doesn’t have to be.”

They're co-conspirators.

“We don’t do business with American banks. We get all the funding we need from Russia.”

Fascist much?

Retired Top FBI Counterintelligence Official Worked With Ex Russian Intelligence Officer Close to Deripaska, Foreign Agent Paperwork Reveals

Sergey Shestakov, a former senior Soviet official, registered as a Foreign Agent for a top aide to Oleg Deripaska.

A former senior Soviet Foreign Ministry official in the U.S. filed as a Foreign Agent for a top aide to Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska, who has been described by the U.S. Senate as a key figure in the Kremlin’s malign influence operations.

The paperwork filed under the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA) has raised numerous concerns from experts who have noted that the aide, Yevgenyi (Evgeny, Evgeniy) Fokin, has reportedly been flagged by the FBI as a former senior Russian intelligence official.

In addition, the filing raises questions about the involvement of a former senior FBI counterintelligence official who reportedly connected Fokin to a law firm and business intelligence consultants.

The FARA filing was first publicly spotted by Wendy Siegelman, an independent investigative journalist.

The Foreign Agent filing

On Nov. 29, 2021, Sergey Shestakov, the former Soviet diplomat, registered as a Foreign Agent for Fokin, the alleged former senior Russian intelligence official.

Though the filing is scarce on details, Shestakov stated that he enlisted Charles F. McGonigal, the FBI’s former top counterintelligence official in New York, to connect Fokin to the law firm Kobre & Kim as well as “business intelligence consultants” Spectrum Risk Solutions.

“Mr. Fokin has contacted me seeking professional assistance in the US, which have resulted in the retention of the law firm of Kobre & Kim and later and separately the business intelligence consultants Spectrum Risk Solutions,” Shestakov stated. “I acted in hope that my assistance would result in a facilitation fee from the US entities retained, and I have received such fees.”

Capehart went out of his way to disparage Bernie in 2016

Wrote Sanders was not taking parts in important civil rights demonstrations while a student at UChicago.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

'It's pretty disturbing': Videos show Trump taking boxes to other golf properties

It’s pretty disturbing’: Videos show Trump aides taking suspicious boxes to other golf properties

Travis Gettys
Raw Story, September 12, 2022

Online videos have prompted new calls to search Donald Trump's other properties for classified materials, but investigators may not have enough evidence yet to obtain a warrant.

The FBI searched Mar-a-Lago last month and seized boxes of top-secret documents, and videos that circulated over the weekend raised suspicions that other materials may have been carted to other properties owned by the former president.

However, NBC News correspondent Ken Dilanian told "Morning Joe" that's not enough to trigger a search.

Obviously, we don't know the inner workings of this investigation, but what's required is more than just a theory that some evidence might be at a place," Dilanian said. "They need actual hard evidence and in the case of this Mar-a-Lago search, they had witnesses who were telling them that not only was there classified information there, but that they were misled, they were lied to essentially by the Trump side, and that's all blacked out in the affidavit, but we're aware that it exists, and they used that to go to a judge and say, 'Judge, we need to do a search.'"
