So lets say this wasnt kremlin approved but lower people trying to curry favor with putin.. In my mind..there is no doubt they were implying chaika in that email.
So what do you think the fallout will be since the whole thing blew up..especially since so many people here are trying to pin this on U.S...which would mean russian players possibly turned ..putin has to be wondering
The President didn’t send *any* US Attorney nominees to the Senate until a month ago. The case would have been handled 100% by Obama appointees and career people.
Sessions would likely have known little about the case. The DAG, who does the actual coordination of prosecution, had only been in office a few weeks. Cases aren’t settled that fast. This would have been a Sally Yates/Lynch decision.

you make a valid point
just another example of how polluted the swamp is.
Good to see you on again my friend.
Judge Bharara was also involved in the Halkbank in Turkey. Erdogan and family oil money gold deal?

I know that NY is a money/banking center, but it this a coincidence or are they possibly connected politically?
Time has a cover of Don Jr. From a purely media perspective its creative. ...but they should have done similar with hillary
You said it! Mueller and his swamp things are the powder keg looking for any spark at all. It’s coming, no doubt about it.
So, when is the DOJ going to shop for a friendly judge (like the left does) and prosecute actual espionage and "collusion"?
Ron Dellums name over and over with this whole thing.

That was just some BS to secure the meeting, IMO. It seems tehre is a sort of Oligarch tax in Russia. In exchange for the goverment looking the other way at the Oligarch’s corruption they are expected to do work on behalf of the Russian government. It’s been widely reported that Putin hates the Magnitsky act. So that an Oligarch would be campaigning against it shouldn’t be a surprise.

I agree it was BS..notice the guy isnt named. I just meant In terms of being implicated. He has to be mad about that
Foreign policy site has up an article saying this escapade is a throw back to the Wild East days
AND NOW it comes out she had an expired visa? That Loretta Lynch allowed her to stay illegally to entrap Trump?
Good point. $6 million seems an awfully small settlement if DoJ had evidence for a $230 million crime; they definitely did not want to go to court. My guess is the original charges were contrived to gain leverage over this Russian businessman. Once Trump emerged as a candidate and was targeted, DoJ recognized the opportunity they had developed, settling for a low amount he’d rather pay than hassle with it, plus providing some “services” via an attorney known to GPS Fusion and Obama’s Ambassador to Russia. N.V. said her reason for entering the US was to work on the money-laundering case. Quite true if setting up Trump was the key to the settlement.
I'm glad you posted this, because I thought I was nuts for thinking this was the case. This would go a long way toward explaining why Trump's won the election mainly by winning Rust Belt states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin that weren't even considered "swing states" by most prognosticators heading into Election Day. I've speculated that the surveillance of the Trump campaign picked up a bunch of phone conversations and e-mail traffic with staged arguments between senior campaign staffers over why their candidate was holding so many rallies in states where he didn't have a chance in hell of winning. LOL.
I don't know how the "Trump private security" caught the surveillance, unless the Feds were using something inside the building that was detected in a sweep of bugs and other listening devices. It was probably just as likely that they got wind of this through a mole inside the FBI, NSA or U.S. Justice Department.
Thanks for clarifying that. I stand corrected on it. I read the general description of the two dollar amounts without realizing that it could have been much more complex than that.
One of the things you'll notice about the media coverage of these events over the last six months is that they tend to present things as "bombshells" (even if they later end up amending or retracting the story because they got key facts wrong). I believe this is done for three reasons, and the third one probably plays a bigger role in it than anyone realizes:
1. It generates ratings and readership.
2. It attempts to discredit the Trump administration.
3. It establishes an immediate perception of potential wrongdoing in the public eye, which provides a retroactive justification for invasive and potentially illegal surveillance methods conducted on the Trump team by the Obama administration.
All that you say is true.
That’s why there needs to be some investigation of the FISA warrants and documents concerning Susan Rice’s activities in unmasking. That they are hiding those in storage for the yet to be built Obama Presidential Library tells you how damning they must be.
Along that line, I have to ask: In this day and age, what US government documents are only in original form and not available digitally somewhere on government computers? How can anyone say with a straight face that documents from the last administration are sequestered in a box somewhere, so they can’t be looked at?
