Trump -Russia, The Betrayal of America
It is apparent at this time that a conspiracy was underfoot to establish The Donald Trump New World Order. This is a list partial of American collaborators in that effort to get Donald Trump elected to be Petulant Dictator in Chief. According to the Mueller Report, there were ONE HUNDRED FORTY-TWO (142) known Trump-Russia contacts. Is that copasetic with a global political and military adversary? Is that normal for someone running to be Commander in Chief and President of The United States of America?
Donald Trump JR is still very active in the management of the Trump Corporation, although not in the White House, he overseas the Trump Properties and most importantly the financing of those properties. In 2017 he was once asked, that after six (6) Trump bankruptcies, the Atlantic its disasters and the refusal of any US bank to lend the Trump Organization any money, where was he getting the funding. His answer was, “The Russians have plenty of money (to lend for Trump projects).”
Jared Kushner requested From Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak a confidential backdoor channel to the Kremlin using the Russian Embassy as a conduit. Why? Was it for Syria? Then why wouldn’t the American Embassy in Moscow work? Was it for the Trump Moscow Tower, the tallest glass skyscraper in all of Russia? And on whose behalf was Jared making this request? Putin shot it down because he wanted to keep the inscription codes at Russian Embassy secret.
Michael Cohen is turning out to be a tarnished American hero, although it did not start out that way. Michael Cohen will go to jail for lying to Congress about the Moscow Trump Tower. However, this also indicates how important (and how profitable) the Moscow Trump Tower was to Donald Trump. Would that violate the US Constitution’s emoluments clause? Absolutely, Trump’s or the Trump Organization’s expected net profit was valued at approximately $300 million. Yes, Trump wanted the deal.
As for the rest of the ongoing testimony, I have only praise for his courage. Although he did make a misstatement in using the word “Never.” I believe that he is inn a new paradigm, separating himself from President Trump. However, in that moment, in words for self-preservation, he inquiring ever about a pardon. However, I still credit him hugely for shining a spotlight on crimes committed by Donald Trump. Crimes that would have been neatly disguised or obfuscated with more lies to protect the president. More on Michael Cohen in “The Laundromat”
Felix Sater. If someone you that little Felix Sater immigrated from Israel, you would probably think he is a synagog attending person. You would be incorrect. Jewish yes, but also a convicted for his mafia crimes and money laundering for the Bonanno crime syndicate. Felix Sater was also a managing director of the Real Estate Development Company the Bayrock Group. Founded by Russian born, US Turkey lobbyist Tevrik Arif in 1993.
Felix Sater is a childhood friend of Michael Cohen. They both are up in the same Brooklyn neighborhood. About three years ago, not long after Donald Trump announced his improbable bid for the White House, Felix Sater sensed a big opportunity. He contacted his childhood friend, Michael Cohen—then a lawyer and fixer for the Trump Organization. Michael Cohen had been working for more than a decade, to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. Donald Trump had long wanted to see the TRUMP name on a glitzy skyscraper in the Russia. Felix had connections. He was born in Moscow and left Russia when he was six years old for Israel, then immigrated to the US and moved to Brooklyn when he was eight years old. It is not known why his father left Russia and changed his last name, but his father, Mikhail Sheferovsky was a capo, a leader in the Russian mafia.
Slater, according to the New York Times, reportedly wrote or e-mailed Michael Cohen about his connections to Russian President Vladimir Putin, he claimed that he could get Putin’s attention for the construction of a Trump Tower in Moscow. —-If the deal could be pulled off, “Our boy can become president of the USA,” Slater wrote, according to the New York Times. Sater’s relationship with Trump has been well-known. As a real estate developer and managing direct for the Bayrock, LLC he had an office in Trump Tower. There is also a rumor (to be verified by the Trump Organizations tax returns) that the Trump Organization owed $560 million dollars to the Bayrock group.

Carter William Page is an American petroleum industry consultant and a former foreign-policy adviser to the Trump 2016 presidential campaign. The founder and managing partner of Global Energy Capital, and the sole proprietor of an investment fund and consulting company dealing with various Russian and Central Asian oil and gas businesses.
In 1998, Page joined the Eurasia Group a strategy consulting firm, but left three short months. In Ian Bremmer, president of Eurasia, recalled that Page's strong pro-Russian stance was "not a good fit" for the firm. Stephen Sestanovich of the same firm, stated that Page's foreign-policy views as having sympathy to Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s's criticisms of the United States. Over time, Page became increasingly critical of United States foreign policy toward Russia, and more supportive of Putin. Sound’s like a real Russian loyalist.
In August 2013, Page wrote, "Over the past half year, I have had the privilege to serve as an informal advisor to the staff of the Kremlin in preparation for their Presidency of the G-20 Summit next month, where energy issues will be a prominent point on the agenda.” Page testified that he had met with Russian government officials during this trip and had sent a post-meeting report via email to members of the Trump campaign. He also indicated that campaign co-chairman Sam Clovis had asked him to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) about his trip.
Elements of Page's testimony contradicted prior claims by Trump, Sessions, and others in the Trump administration. Lewandowski, who had previously denied knowing Page or meeting him during the campaign, said after Page's testimony that his memory was refreshed and acknowledged that he had been aware of Page's trip to Russia.
Page also testified that after delivering a commencement speech at the New Economic School n Moscow, he spoke briefly with one of the people in attendance, Arkady Dvorkovich, a Deputy Prime Minister in President Dimitry Medvedev’s cabinet, contradicting his previous statements not to have spoken to anyone connected with the Russian government. According to allegations in the documents Page, who lived in Moscow between 2004 and 2007, met a number of long term respected allies to President Vladimir Putin during a July 2016 trip to Russia.
It is alleged that Page met Igor Sechin, a Russian energy executive, and discussed lifting western sanctions imposed in response to the 2013 Ukrainian crisis. While Page denied a meeting with Sechin, the Trump-Russia dossier alleges that Sechin offered Page the brokerage fee from the sale of up to nineteen (19%) percent of Rosneft, a Russian oil company, if he worked to roll back #Magnitsky Act, economic sanctions that had been imposed on Russia and several oligarchs. It also alleges that Page confirmed, on Trump's "full authority", that this was Trump's intent. If true this would be conspiracy. Who is this guy?
The application also alleges that Page met with Igor Divyekin, a Russian intelligence operative, and discussed compromising material on Hillary Clinton. Again conspiracy.
George Papadopoulos, was a foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign. He lied to federal investigators about his meeting and converstions with a Russian professor linked possibly to the Russian political hierarchy, perhaps even to Putin. According to the statement of offense filed with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, the professor told Papadopoulos that the Russians had negative information Hillary Clinton in the form of "thousands of emails” while he was working for the Trump presidential campaign.
The unnamed professor also introduced Papadopoulos to other Russian contacts, including the Russian national connected to that government's ministry of foreign affairs. Most likely an FSB or GRU agent.
Papadopolous pleaded guilty to the charges on Oct. 5, 2017
Roger Stone, is known as a self aggrandizing blowhard. He is accused of having contacted Julian Assange in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London (where Julian is evading rape charges from Sweden). He allegedly called Donald Trump who put him on speakerphone and shared that Wikileaks was to have a huge dump of Hillary Clinton emails in three days. I believe there was a telephone call, but I do not believe that Roger Stone spoke with Julian Assange. Stone also was alleged to have contacted by email with the Russian hacker Guccifer 2.0 (GRU?). Remember, Roger Stone is all about puffing his own self importance. However, he did obtain this Wikileaks dump of emails information several days in advance and called Donald Trump in his office.
Erik Prince, an associate of President Donald Trump, acknowledged for the first time last week that he attended a meeting at Trump Tower in August 2016 with top Trump campaign officials and others embroiled in the Russia investigation.
The New York Times first reported the meeting last May. Citing several people with knowledge of the gathering, the report said it was convened "primarily to offer help to the Trump team [in winning the election], and it forged relationships between [the individuals who attended the meeting] and Trump insiders that would develop over the coming months — past the election and well into President Trump's first year in office."
According to The Times, the meeting was attended by Prince; Donald Trump Jr.; Stephen Miller, a White House policy adviser; George Nader, an emissary for Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates; and Joel Zamel, an Israeli social-media specialist.
Prince testified before the House Intelligence Committee in November 2017 as part of the panel's ongoing investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia during the 2016 election. He did not disclose the August 2016 Trump Tower meeting to the committee, according to a transcript of his testimony.
Prince acknowledged the meeting for the first time when Al Jazeera's Mehdi Hasan asked him about it.
The United Arab Emirates arranged a secret meeting in January between Blackwater founder Erik Prince and a Russian close to President Vladimir Putin as part of an apparent effort to establish a back-channel line of communication between Moscow and President-elect Donald Trump, according to U.S., European and Arab officials.
The meeting took place around Jan. 11 — nine days before Trump’s inauguration — in the Seychelles islands in the Indian Ocean, officials said. Though the full agenda remains unclear, the UAE agreed to broker the meeting in part to explore whether Russia could be persuaded to curtail its relationship with Iran, including in Syria, a Trump administration objective that would be likely to require major concessions to Moscow on U.S. sanctions.
Though Prince had no formal role with the Trump campaign or transition team, he presented himself as an unofficial envoy for Trump to high-ranking Emiratis involved in setting up his meeting with the Putin confidant, according to the officials, who did not identify the Russian.
Prince was an avid supporter of Trump. After the Republican convention, he contributed $250,000 to Trump’s campaign, the national party and a pro-Trump super PAC led by GOP mega-donor Rebekah Mercer, records show. He has ties to people in Trump’s circle, including Stephen K. Bannon, now serving as the president’s chief strategist and senior counselor. (Prince’s sister Betsy DeVos serves as education secretary in the Trump administration. DeVos, an hier to the Amway fortune, contributed $4,000,00 to the Trump campaign). Prince was also observed in the Trump transition offices in New York in December.
A witness in the Russia investigation has testified that Trump associate Erik Prince helped arrange a 2017 meeting in the Seychelles islands with a Kremlin ally as part of an effort to establish a backchannel of communication between the US and Russia, and to discuss US-Russia relations under the Trump administration.
The revelation appears to contradict Prince's testimony before the House Intelligence Committee last year, when he told the panel his meeting with the Kremlin ally, Russian investor Kirill Dmitriev, happened by chance.
The unnamed witness' testimony also comes amid reports that George Nader, an adviser to the Emirati crown prince who attended the Seychelles meeting on behalf of the United Arab Emirates, is cooperating with Mueller and testified before a grand jury earlier this year.
Apparently a two page document was exchanged between Kiril Dmitriev, Putin’s unofficial Russian envoy and Eric Prince. It allegedly contained notes from Vladimir Putin to now President Trump. Supposedly a list of favors he wished such a lifting of the Russian sanctions, particularly the Maginski Act, for the role Russia took in helping to support Trump’s election to President of the USA. Per White House unsubstantiated information this document was then handed by Eric Prince to Jared Kushner for the President’s purview.
