[CARIIS]

now become clear that special counsel Robert S. Mueller III views at least some of them as important pieces of his sprawling investigation of Russian meddling in last year’s presidential campaign.



At least nine people in Trump’s orbit had contact with Russians during campaign and transition

Oh my God, I read it, now my eyes are crossed. I don't know that much about Carter Page, but there was a bunch of stuff in the hearing about him invoking the fifth amendment but only when it comes to providing documentation. He is suing some media outfit for defamation in the "dirty dossier" leak or whatever. He wouldn't answer anything clearly and I think it was Schiff who said stuff like "Well, Mr. Page, you certainly have a lot of conversations in passing..." Page just sounded super defensive and sketchy.

Sorry I'm not much help. He said that he had never met Donald Trump, which was really strange, and kept arguing the definition of "met." He said he may have met Gates once, emailed Paul Manafort once, had two email exchanges with Popadopalous, never met Jared, Ivanka, but had talked to Steve Bannon. He referred to himself as a volunteer and the senator questioning him said something like "well, were you going around knocking on doors or something?" LOL.

The main gist was he went to Russia in July (?) of 2016 and gave a speech. And they were trying to establish who he talked to and what they talked about. He also said he mentioned to Jeff Sessions in passing that he was about to go to Russia.

 

[CARIIS]

oh Carter

The transcript!

reading some of it --my friends after about the third congressional hearings with all these people (started with COmey) I learned - it does not matter ( which now all this time later has certainly proven itself - in terms of everything that is coming out) what the witness answers -- the data in any of them is their questions.

In Carter and Manaforts mess -- they had FISA court orders on them .

Every phone call, anything on any of there electronics is in possession of authorities.

That's the purpose of the FISA order - get permission to tap phones and computers and anything else.

It wont cut and paste so I am just doing it this way it is easier for me as opposed to remembering the names etc etc

so well pretend it is WS!

They have all his computer activities as it relates to being on WS!



Jut to make sure I understand Mr Carter you are stating you have never heard of a website called WS


THat is correct

Last week on MSNBC you mentioned that you might vagely recall something about WS

Well i may have seen it once

Mr Carter are you telling this committee that you never logged on to WS

I dont really thing i ever did ,but if I did I was not there long

Are you saying you have never been on WS, more than once , for durations of up to 5 hours in some instances

We maybe once i was on there for a bit but I did not post anything

Dr Carter are you telling this committee if you have never posted on this forum

Well I may have I cant really remember

Do you recall a member named XXXX

Vaguly
they have in front of them dates of login his posts duration on site members interacted with number of times he logged on everytime

!!


This dude know and says more than once than his rights have been violated for all his phone and computer activities being monitored!

WTH does he think is coming ??

So Bizarre

Carter Page Coordinated Russia Trip With Top Trump Campaign Officials
by Ken Dilanian, Julia Ainsley and Alex Moe

WASHINGTON — Former Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page, who has come under scrutiny in the investigation of Russian election interference, told a House committee that he sought permission for a July 2016 trip to Moscow from senior Trump campaign officials, and reported to other Trump officials about the trip when he returned.

It’s long been known that Page traveled to Moscow in July 2016, but he has said it was in his private capacity, unrelated to his role with the Trump campaign.

Page, whose sworn testimony was released Monday night, told the House Intelligence Committee last week that he sought permission to make the trip from campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, and also notified Hope Hicks, who is now the White House communications director.

Lewandowski told Page he was clear to go on the trip as long as the travel was not associated with his work on the campaign, Page told the committee...

The biggest bombshells in Carter Page’s Russia testimony to Congress
https://qz.com/1122098/trump-aide-carter-pages-russia-bombshells-in-congress-testimony/

The company linking Wilbur Ross to Putin cronies has a key role in Trump’s energy plan
https://qz.com/1120762/wilbur-rosss...-nvgs-plays-a-key-role-in-trumps-energy-plan/

Paradise Papers Wiki - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradise_Papers

According to the papers, United States Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross holds stakes in businesses which deal with Russian oligarchs Leonid Mikhelson and Gennady Timchenko who are subject to U.S. sanctions,[5] as well as Russian president Vladimir Putin's son-in-law Kirill Shamalov.[54] Other members of the Trump administration who appear in the documents include United States Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Gary D. Cohn, the director of the U.S. National Economic Council.[54] Overall, more than a dozen Trump cabinet members, major donors and advisers appear in the documents and are linked with offshore accounts. These include major donors Robert Mercer and Sheldon Adelson.[55][1]

The documents also revealed that Russian state organizations with ties to Putin pursued between 2009 and 2011 large investments in Facebook and Twitter via an intermediary—Russian-American entrepreneur Yuri Milner, who befriended Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg[56] and was a business associate of Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law.[57]

American singer Madonna, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, and former NATO supreme commander in Europe General Wesley Clark are also named in the papers.[58]

Commenting on the Paradise Papers leak, United States Senator and 2016 presidential candidate Bernie Sanders warned of "rapid movement toward international oligarchy", saying, "The Paradise Papers shows how these billionaires and multinational corporations get richer by hiding their wealth and profits and avoid paying their fair share of taxes."[59] The Democratic leader in the US Senate, Chuck Schumer, and the ranking Democratic member of the Senate finance committee, Ron Wyden, issued a joint statement accusing Republicans of "pushing a reform of the tax code that fails to close egregious loopholes revealed by the leaks."[59]

 

[cady]

No concrete evidence yet, just chatter, but let's pay attention to that unannounced junket that Kushner took to Saudi Arabia last week......He is buddies with the Crown Prince who just engineered the coup. I wonder if SA possibly bailed Kushner out of his financial problems..... I don't think anything as corrupt as that would slip under the Mueller radar, but Mueller and co. aren't leaky, so we'll have to hear it from investigative journalists. JMO ETA: He took a commercial flight, unannounced, presumably to appear to be on private business, but did WE the taxpayers pay for it?

Judge issues gag order in Manafort-Gates case

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/judge-issues-gag-order-in-manafort-gates-case/

https://www.politico.com/story/2017/11/08/gag-order-issued-in-manafort-gates-case-244691

U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson's directive released Wednesday doesn't ban such statements outright, but prohibits any remarks that "pose a substantial likelihood of material prejudice to this case."

"This is a criminal trial, and it's not a public relations campaign," the judge warned.

Jackson offered both defendants and the government a chance to weigh in about the order before she issued it. No one did.

I've heard a lot of them are leaving but it's helpful to see it in a chart like that. Thanks.

Already, at least 25 Republicans have announced they are retiring, running for another office or resigning outright. They're leaving from all over the map, from southern New Jersey to southern New Mexico.

The FLynn stuff is really smoking!!!

Mueller is seeing witnesses all next week about Flynn

and Mr FLynn goes directly back to


the oval office !!

Serious serious stuff coming!!

Our true spy story expands -- there is some speculation that he may be cooperating because like with the hard to spell guy no indictment has yet happened - but a lot of folks are being subpoenaed for the grand jury !!

Apparently FLynn was gonna get 15 million bucks to get some guy kidnapped and returned to Turkey.

Talk about criminals-- good lord.

What a collection of folks -- it is incredible.

Mueller Probing Possible Deal Between Turks, Flynn During Presidential Transition

Mueller bringing in his son is also significant if Flynn needs a roaring push to start chatting with Mueller. Quickly! If not already happening!

Flynn in a heap of trouble. And these are folks who are used to money - not prison- so Mr Mueller may need to expand his waiting room for all those chatting mouths!

It is interesting to watch how a brilliant prosecutor organizes all these things!

MSNBC!

Just incredible.......................................

 

[CARIIS]

Msnbc

forgot there was a Sept meeting about all this by the FBI back then they were gonna go for like extradition.

Then in Dec in moved into the 15 million dollar bribe deal

 

[simba16]

Best bet for next indictments: Former Security Advisor Michael Flynn and his son. MSNBC, ÇNN, and the Wall Street Journal are all reporting on this bizarre scheme for Flynn to "kidnap" a Muslim cleric in return for a 15 million dollar payoff from the Turkish government. Mueller's grand jury reportedly listening to the evidence throughout the next week.:jail:

Donald Trump Jr. released his conversation with WikiLeaks — but it might not prove his innocence


Here t are some....in all their glory -- increible

https://www.theatlantic.com/politic...ween-donald-trump-jr-and-wikileaks/545738/tid bits

(imo what every American should want is know what happened with our last election - regardless of affiliation - the truth)

[FONT=&quot]messages were turned over to Congress as part of that body’s various ongoing investigations into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential campaign.
[/FONT][FONT=&quot]WikiLeaks made a series of increasingly bold requests, including asking for Trump’s tax returns,[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Jr. mostly ignored the frequent messages from WikiLeaks what is fascinating is how invested Putin was in getting Trump in (sanctions)

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Jr. responded to WikiLeaks. “Off the record I don’t know who that is, but I’ll ask around

[/FONT][FONT=&quot] stakes for the Trump family, however, are high.

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]on the same day that Trump Jr. received the first message from WikiLeaks, he emailed other senior officials with the Trump campaign, including Steve Bannon, Kellyanne Conway, Brad Parscale, and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, telling them WikiLeaks had made contact. Kushner then forwarded the email to campaign communications staffer Hope

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]October 3, 2016, WikiLeaks wrote again. “Hiya, it’d be great if you guys could comment on/push this story,” WikiLeaks suggested,

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]“Already did that earlier today,” Trump Jr. responded

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Two minutes later, Trump Jr. wrote again, asking, “What’s behind this Wednesday leak I keep reading about?”

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]messaged Trump Jr. “Hey Donald, great to see you and your dad talking about our publications,” WikiLeaks wrote

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]“Strongly suggest your dad tweets this link [/FONT][FONT=&quot]help Trump’s followers dig through the trove of stolen documents and find stories. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Two days later, on October 14, 2016, Trump Jr. [/FONT][video=twitter;786923210512142336]https://twitter.com/DonaldJTrumpJr/status/786923210512142336[/video][FONT=&quot] out the link WikiLeaks had provided him.

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]“Hey Don. We have an unusual idea,” WikiLeaks wrote on October 21, 2016. “Leak us one or more of your father’s tax returns.

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]“If we publish them it will dramatically improve the perception of our impartiality,” [/FONT][FONT=&quot]means that the vast amount of stuff that we are publishing on Clinton will have much higher impact, because it won’t be perceived as coming from a ‘pro-Trump’ ‘pro-Russia’ source

[/FONT][FONT=&quot] same for any other negative stuff (documents, recordings) that you think has a decent chance of coming out. Let us put it out.”

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]November 8, 2016. “Hi Don if your father ‘loses’ we think it is much more interesting if he DOES NOT conceed [sic] and spends time CHALLENGING the media

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]three days after [/FONT]The New York Times[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]broke the story[FONT=&quot] about Trump Jr.’s June 2016 meeting with Natalia Veselnitskaya.....[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Hi Don. Sorry to hear about your problems,” WikiLeaks wrote. “We have an idea that may help a little. We are VERY interested in confidentially obtaining and publishing a copy of the email(s) cited in the New York Times today,

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]We think this is strongly in your interest,” WikiLeaks went on. .....convince Trump Jr. to turn over his father’s tax returns, ........[/FONT][FONT=&quot]beautifully confounding.”
