Special Counsel Issues 1st Indictments

Here is what some have testified to about Fusion GPS, in various trials and to our congressional investigation:


In July, Browder appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee, where he testified that Prevezon “hired Glenn Simpson of the firm Fusion GPS to conduct a smear campaign against me and Sergei Magnitsky. . . . He contacted a number of major newspapers and other publications to spread false information that Sergei Magnitsky was not murdered, was not a whistleblower and was instead a criminal.” As a former Wall Street Journal reporter, Simpson had extensive contacts with his former media colleagues he could use to spread anti-Magnitsky propaganda.

In an interview with me, Browder alleged that “Glenn Simpson was trying, on behalf of the Putin regime, to cover up the murder of Sergei Magnitsky, knowingly lying to journalists in Washington to write false stories. . . . Natalia Veselnitskaya hired him to lie, and Natalia Veselnitskaya was working for Putin. So it’s pretty clear to me that this was a major Putin operation.” (In a statement, Fusion GPS counsel Joshua Levy strongly denied Browder’s claims..


Earlier this year, Browder filed a complaint with the Justice Department accusing Fusion GPS and others involved in the anti-Magnitsky campaign of unlawfully lobbying on behalf of Russian interests in violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act. In a letter to the department, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) wrote, “The issue is of particular concern to the Committee given that when Fusion GPS reportedly was acting as an unregistered agent of Russian interests, it appears to have been simultaneously overseeing the creation of the unsubstantiated dossier of allegations of a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russians.”

So all of you can roll your eyes and call it all a conspiracy theory. But in my opinion, this Fusion GPS group is very shady and untrustworthy. JMO
 
That is all speculation and opinion.

I might ask, do you think the many, many contacts that the Trump campaign had with Russians is just coincidence? And that all of them 'just forgot'? All of them?

Trump hired a lot of people who had done business with russians. Hilary did as well. Her people have had many contacts with Russians as well, It is an international global network we live in these days.

Many of this meetings were innocent. Some probably were not. But that does not mean that Trump himself had any nefarious associations with the Russians. I think many Russian operatives were reaching out, trying to make contacts and connections. But they did the same to Hilary's camp. And she was working with them and paying the Russians for dirt on Trump. So it's even, imo.
 
What I see are the Republicans desperately trying to scramble and find any nebulous connection to Hillary and Russians, while there are dozens of documented meetings and contacts between Trump's campaign and Russia, which Trump fans completely ignore.
 
Michael Flynn's attorney, Robert Kelner, was seen walking into Mueller's Washington DC offices this morning, according to ABC News. Kelner declined any comment.
 
It was Flynn attorney, Robert Kelner, who wrote back in March that Flynn "has a story to tell.."
 
We can now move on from the 17 agencies Russia interference myth that gets stated over and over:

WASHINGTON (AP) — In stories published April 6, June 2, June 26 and June 29, The Associated Press reported that all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies have agreed that Russia tried to influence the 2016 election to benefit Donald Trump. That assessment was based on information collected by three agencies — the FBI, CIA and National Security Agency — and published by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which represents all U.S. intelligence agencies. Not all 17 intelligence agencies were involved in reaching the assessment.

So what? It is the consensus of the U.S. intelligence agencies. Trump and Putin both have disagreed with the findings. Strange. And why won't Trump implement the sanctions against Russia passed by congress this summer? Kompromat?

I think that Flynn would be wise to save his son and get out from under the bigger charges that he will have around meeting with foreign countries without disclosing. This will be eye opening to read an indictment on Flynn.
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/mich...mbers-special-counsels-team/story?id=51412187

"Sources familiar with the Flynn investigation have told ABC News the retired lieutenant general has felt increased pressure since prosecutors began focusing attention on his son, Michael G. Flynn, who worked as part of the Flynn Intel Group, the consulting firm founded by the elder Flynn, a former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency. Michael G. Flynn also traveled with his father to Russia in 2015 for his now famous appearance at a Moscow dinner where he sat next to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Democrats in Congress have told ABC News they forwarded information to the Mueller team alleging that Michael T. Flynn illegally concealed more than a dozen foreign contacts and overseas trips during the process of renewing his security clearances."
 
Flynn and son were facing possible state charges of tax evasion, money laundering, even kidnapping that couldn't be pardoned by Trump.
 
Why was the FBI investigating Russian interference in the election and possible collusion with the Trump campaign according to Comey before he was fired? I see one of your sources for looney conspiracy theory is Fox, Fox Business. Fox gave us looney Seth Rich conspiracy. Now Fox has been pushing debunked Uranium One conspiracy.

Real Clear Politics and Washington Times are conservative rags as well. ;) Not exactly known for being credible. :)
 
WASHINGTON — President Trump said on Thursday that only “three or four” of the United States’ 17 intelligence agencies had concluded that Russia interfered in the presidential election — a statement that while technically accurate, is misleading and suggests widespread dissent among American intelligence agencies when none has emerged.

The “three or four” agencies referred to by Mr. Trump are the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, the F.B.I. and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, all of which determined that Russia interfered in the election. Their work was compiled into a report, and a declassified version was released on Jan. 6 by the director of national intelligence. It said that all four agencies had “high confidence” that Russian spies had tried to interfere in the election on the orders of President Vladimir V. Putin.

The reason the views of only those four intelligence agencies, not all 17, were included in the assessment is simple: They were the ones tracking and analyzing the Russian campaign. The rest were doing other work.

Well, TMAN, thanks for the clarification. The four major agencies that released the declassified report was a compilation.

Now that we have that detail sorted out, the findings, the bottom line is the same: Russian spies had tried to interfere in the election on the orders of President Vladimir V. Putin.

Ah, the frantic waving of shiny objects... ;) It's amazing that any of the Trump co-conspirators can manage to get to and from all of their Russian dalliances given their affliction of intermittent memory loss. :)

Just like they probably have done for the last 50 years, and like we have done in other countries. I wonder why Barrack Obama did not do anything stop this interference. In good news, there is no evidence any results would have changed and Hillary still lost, because of her terrible campaign. Lets hope this Mueller investigation has just as much interests in ALL people who were involved with Russia, including many Democrat lobbyists. I wish this investigation were more transparent, and someone could review why Mueller makes certain choices on who to investigate. Who knows, maybe we could have another special counsel investigating Mueller, just to make sure everything is kosher with his choices on who to pursue. I see no reason why Mueller should not be accountable to some scruity too, right? We need check and balances on everyone, including the President and Special Counsel.
 
"When reached Monday, Kelner declined to comment on the nature of his morning visit to Mueller’s offices in Washington, D.C."



"The alleged omissions could be a serious matter — and not just for Flynn. While Cummings said intentionally omitting foreign contacts when applying for security clearance can carry a five-year prison term, he acknowledged that penalties are rarely so severe. The leverage the alleged transgressions provide, however, could prove useful to prosecutors seeking to use the threat of prosecution to compel Flynn’s assistance in the broader investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign."

"Former FBI Director James Comey provided a window into that strategy during his three hours of testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee earlier this year."

“There is always a possibility if you have a criminal case against someone and you bring them in, squeeze them, flip them, [that] they give you information about something else,” Comey said.?

We have no idea what would have happened without interference. The only checks and balances needed are on those in power who are bad actors. Let's get some sunlight on all of this. I hope we all are prepared for the truth. We can handle the truth all around. I am not sure why President Obama and Hillary Clinton need to be a part of the narrative as they are not under investigation. I am pretty sure that Mueller will go for whoever has done wrong. I kind of like that about him and his team.

I agree, and while the U.S. agencies were investigating interference themselves, it became clear with the hacking of the DNC & Podesta, which side was slated for a take down. The timing of Wikileaks, the lies about contact with Wikileaks is a red flag. Also, why is it so many in trump's circle, in his campaign lied, omitted their contacts and connections, omitted documents, never filed as a foreign agent, with a foreign adversary, over and over again? -So, General Flynn, who trump was warned about got Carte Blanche to national security briefings. Trump fired Yates, Comey, because of Flynn, until his hand was forced. And, Manafort and papodolous lied, too. So, what will Flynn do?

I am confident that we'll get answers. So are the house and senate intelligence committees overseeing this investigation.

And I think a larger question to consider is that while yes, foreign meddling is not new, a campaign aligning and advantaging themselves with a foreign adversary in a U.S. Election is a very serious crime, as is obstruction of same.

I hope you're right. I can't help but have suspicions as to his ultimate allegiances. A defining characteristic of his party is party over country. I really want to believe that in the end he'll block out all of the noise and party influence and maintain the integrity of the investigation. Fingers crossed, but I'm having a hard time being even cautiously optimistic.

We have to remember that Mueller makes no choices. He follows the money. That simple. Grand juries have been meeting (starting it Va district for MONTHS)

It is the grand juries that issue the indictments.

We also need to recall that since last March Flynn made it clear he would tell all if given immunity

“General Flynn certainly has a story to tell, and he very much wants to tell it.” That statement by the attorney for President Trump’s former national security adviser

Mueller and his superb team collect the info and present it to jurors who then decide.

Things are rocking and rolling right along...............
