Turkish Government Hires FBI Director’s Longtime Friend For Work On Mystery ‘Legal Matter’
The Daily Caller ^ | 12/26/2017 12:09 PM | Chuck Ross

The Turkish government has hired FBI Director Christopher Wray’s longtime friend and former law partner Andrew C. Hruska to work on an unspecified proposal to the Justice Department, according to newly filed government documents.

Hruska, a partner at the law firm King & Spalding, recently registered as a foreign agent of Turkey, according to documents released by the Justice Department on Saturday.

The filings state that King & Spalding, where Wray worked until taking the FBI job, was hired “to prepare and present a proposal to the U.S. Department of Justice for cooperation between the governments of the United States and Turkey regarding the handling of a U.S. legal matter.”

Hruska and FBI Director Wray have known each other for 45 years. Are very close friends.

But the connection of people with influence in the U.S. and the Turkish Government seems to draw some large salaries. Usually that is because of big problems.

Did Flynn have a Turkish connection?

The Muslims are probably going to demand the FBI go after Americans who tell the truth about Islam.

It’s been a goal of the OIC for decades.

Indeed, as SoS Hillary at one point crowed about helping to advance this trash at the UN.

Maybe it's because we stubbornly refuse to enact sharia law...

I believe that when Flynn filed belatedly as ‘foreign agent’, Turkey was named as a country represented by his consulting firm.

This always goes back to that expatriate cleric in PA.

Indications are that Flynn was trying to arrange for Gulen’s transfer to Turkey, where he would likely be executed.

(FreeBeacon 12/12/17) :" Both Rubin and Fuller have been vocal critics of Erdogan's, often publicly highlighting his widespread corruption.
Rubin, in particular, has been in constant conflict with Erdogan, who once filed a lawsuit against the former Pentagon official in a bid to silence him.
The Turkish prosecutors office has issued arrest warrants for both Rubin and Fuller. "

I'll bet it is an extradition attempt by Erdogan to secure Rubin and Fuller for charges in Turkey.
Who else would know the necessary legal techniques and chicanery , other than an experienced former Washington 'insider' lawyer who knows what wheels to grease ?

Well, he may be a fine gent, but he needs to go somewhere else. Like hole up in some Ecuadorian embassy. Don’t need this scrap.

I doubt there’s any good guys in this at all. I believe Flynn lied to Pence about representing foreign interests. Half of DC drepresents foreign interests, but lying about it to the VP acting in behalf of the President should get you booted.

from the article...

“The Turkish government made another high-profile connection to Trumpworld last year. In Aug. 2016, a Turkish businessman who operates a trade group controlled by the government signed a $600,000 contract with retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn. (RELATED: Michael Flynn Is Lobbying For Turkish Businessman)

“The aim of the project was to develop a media campaign against Fethullah Gulen, a Muslim cleric living in exile in the U.S. Erdogan has accused Gulen, his former ally, of orchestrating a failed coup attempt that left more than 250 people dead in Ankara and Istanbul in July 2016.”

There was a show on PBS last night supposedly about the truth of the Crusades. It featured supposedly Francis of Assisi and some other dude. I could not get past the huge list of muslin donors. Put the two together - PBS and huge list of muslin donors and I gotta call it quits.

Muslims pretend the Crusades were horrible examples of naked aggression when the truth is that the Crusades were a tepid at best response to centuries of Islamic aggression that destroyed a prosperous North Africa and engaged in ceaseless piracy, raiding and wars of expansion.

Dr. Bill Warner catalogues the number of jihad vs. crusades and it is something like 500 to 12. (I don’t know the exact number but I am sure you catch my drift.) The aggressors were and always will be the muslins.

This could be an attempt to cover Erdogan’s own butt, for his widespread public corruption, and his racket for personal profit from violating sanctions on Iran.

President Trump recently signed an Executive Order providing emergency powers to the Secretary of the Treasury to immediately freeze assets of those found profiting from public corruption, or engaging in human rights abuses. Anyone who gets added to the list can have their assets frozen without warning.

Thanks for comments.
