First things first. I feel the need to apologize to Mr. Deripaska. It is an unfortunate situation to see Oleg Deripaska receiving the Julian Assange treatment. Yes, that is exactly what is happening today as the institutionally corrupt FBI and DOJ attempt to throw a bag over Deripaska, in order to cover up their previous operations.
That said, Oleg Deripaska is not stupid, he knows these players and knows exactly what game the corrupt U.S. officials are playing. It was transparently obvious over the past few days that something was happening in the background. The Fourth Branch of Government, intelligence apparatus, Dept of Justice, FBI, and media enablers -writ large- began conducting an information warfare operation.
It is not coincidental: (1) the collective media apparatus brought Chris Steele out of hiding for an ABC interview with George Stephanopoulos, and a rehabilitation of his Dossier effort; then (2) the intelligence apparatus began scrubbing the Dossier from public downloads; then (3) the FBI apparatus notifies the media in advance and shows up to raid the home of a central participant in the Dossier story line. There are no coincidences of this connective scale.
This is a full-blown propaganda operation carried out by the DC-based Fourth Branch of Government. These moves indicate a likelihood that John Durham is almost finished with the spray paint operation. Remember, Lisa Monaco is Deputy AG, and John Carlin is back in the DOJ-NSD position. Both of them participated in the illegal weaponization and political surveillance operations against candidate Trump (that involved Deripaska), and both are now central to the ongoing clean-up and cover-up operation.
DC is a horrible and abusive vehicle; rusted to the core with metastatic corruption. Bill Barr was the bondo application and John Durham is the spray paint. The clear objective is to cover-up the corruption from public view and giving Oleg Deripaska the Julian Assange treatment is one part of that process. The FBI is to Washington DC what the FSB represents to Moscow.
Today, FBI agents from DC’s main office as well as Washington Field Office (WFO) raided the home of Russian Billionaire Oleg Deripaska. This move comes just 36 hours after CTH outlined the risk that Deripaska represents to all of the corrupt DC officials who participated in the Trump-Russia attack scheme. {Go Deep}
VIA NBC – FBI agents on Tuesday swarmed the home of Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska in Washington, D.C., an agency spokesperson confirmed to NBC News.
The reason for their presence wasn’t immediately clear. The spokesperson said the agency is conducting “law enforcement activity at the home,” but wouldn’t elaborate.
The investigation is being led by federal investigators in New York City, according to two officials briefed on the matter. (read more)
The FBI told news outlets what they were doing in advance so the cameras could be present as part of the operation (similar to the Roger Stone raid). Unfortunately, most news consumers cannot see the script and performance that underpins the corrupt motive. [NBC News Segment Here] and below is a lengthy video of the entire raid:
.
Christopher Steele was actually a contracted employee of Deripaska, at least Deripaska was paying Chris Steele for some type of work in the U.K. Oleg Deripaska is a typically sketchy wealthy Russian with some quirky aspects to his humor. Oleg’s U.S. lawyer was a guy named Adam Waldman. You might remember that Adam Waldman was also the legal liaison between Chris Steele and SSCI Vice-Chairman Mark Warner {Go Deep}.
Adam Waldman is the connective tissue between Chris Steele, Oleg Deripaska and another name from the SSCI, former staffer Dan Jones. When Senator Chuck Grassley wanted to question the lawyer/lobbyist Adam Waldman, Waldman lied to avoid testimony {Go Deep}. Unfortunately it was a line of Senate query that was quickly dropped.
Oleg Deripaska was on his yacht in the summer of 2016 with a sketchy Russian sex/intelligence worker named Anastasia Vashukevich (27). [Both Pictured Left]
Vashukevich is the Belarusian woman who was being held in a prison in Thailand under charges of recruiting women to act as prostitutes and escorts. {Go Deep}
Ms. Vashukevich name surfaced early in 2018 when CNN claimed she had dirt on Trump and “tapes” of some sort relating to Deripaska and his activities with contacts around the 2016 election. [More Backstory]
In the height of the Trump-Russia madness, CNN sent Ivan Watson to Thailand to interview Ms. Vashukevich in the hopes that she could validate the “hookers” and “pee-tapes” material that was in the Steele Dossier. However, by the time CNN arrived, Anastasia changed her mind.
It turned out the recording Ms. Vashukevich was promoting/leveraging, was actually a recording of Oleg Deripaska; and, at his request she returned them to him.
FOX NEWS: […] Vashukevich told The Associated Press that she had turned over audio recordings to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, whose conversations about election interference she claimed to have taped.
She has said she provided “escort” services to Deripaska, who is close to Russian President Vladimir Putin and who has links to Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign manager now being tried in the United States on money laundering and other charges.
Speaking to an AP reporter in the courtroom in Pattaya, Vashukevich said she had promised Deripaska she would no longer speak on the matter, and that he had already promised her something in return for not making that evidence public. (read more)
The tapes Ms. Vashukevich was discussing at the time (trying to leverage her way out of jail) was a previous recording by Deripaska of a conversation between Oleg and his retained employee Christopher Steele about then presidential candidate Donald Trump. This is the conversation where Trump, Russian hookers and pee-tapes came up. Keep in mind, Oleg likely knew what Steele’s questions were for; Oleg knew what Chris Steele did for a living, and Oleg had a motive to snark at the entire operation and U.S. election.
Deripaska didn’t trust anyone related to intelligence operations in either the U.K or the U.S, and Deripaska had previously been burned by the FBI in 2009 after they asked for his help. {Go Deep}
In 2009 the FBI, then headed by Robert Mueller, requested the assistance of Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska in an operation to retrieve former FBI officer and CIA resource Robert Levinson who was captured in Iran two years earlier. The agent assigned to engage Deripaska was Andrew McCabe; the primary FBI need was financing and operational support. Deripaska spent around $25 million and would have succeeded except the U.S. State Department, then headed by Hillary Clinton, backed out.
In the summer of 2016, Steele was under retainer by Deripaska and also working for Fusion-GPS. In hindsight, the conversation was almost certainly part of the research Steele was doing for his Fusion-GPS assignment and assembly of the dossier into Trump. Oleg was an easy and obvious source, and Anastasia Vashukevich just happened to be with Oleg when the conversation took place. She snagged the tapes upon departure, she was busted in Thailand and tried to use the info to get out.
Keep in mind, in September of 2016 Andrew McCabe was Deputy Director of the FBI, when two FBI agents approached Deripaska in New York – asking for his help. The FBI request was for Deripaska to outline Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort as a tool of the Kremlin. Deripaska once hired Manafort as a political adviser and invested money with him in a business venture that went bad. Deripaska sued Manafort, alleging he stole money. However, according to a John Solomon article, despite Deripaska’s disposition toward Manafort, he viewed the FBI request as absurd. He laughed the FBI away, telling them: “You are trying to create something out of nothing.”
After Trump won the 2016 election, the entire apparatus of the U.S. intelligence system and DOJ turned on Deripaska because he now represented a risk {Go Deep}.
Now, watch this video of Tom Cotton asking FBI Director Chris Wray about Deripaska:
.
Byron York previously outlined new documents showing the communication between Trump Dossier author Christopher Steele and DOJ official Bruce Ohr.
Within the early 2016 discussions, Chris Steele appeared to be advocating to Bruce Ohr on behalf of Oleg Deripaska who was banned from travel into the U.S. by the State Department.
(Byron York) Emails in 2016 between former British spy Christopher Steele and Justice Department official Bruce Ohr suggest Steele was deeply concerned about the legal status of a Putin-linked Russian oligarch, and at times seemed to be advocating on the oligarch’s behalf, in the same time period Steele worked on collecting the Russia-related allegations against Donald Trump that came to be known as the Trump dossier. The emails show Steele and Ohr were in frequent contact, that they intermingled talk about Steele’s research and the oligarch’s affairs, and that Glenn Simpson, head of the dirt-digging group Fusion GPS that hired Steele to compile the dossier, was also part of the ongoing conversation. (more)
I strongly urge you to read the York article, because I’m going to expand on the Deripaska angle from the context of the reader understanding the relationship.
It is likely that Oleg’s 2016 entry into the U.S. was facilitated as part of a quid-pro-quo; either agreed in advance, or, more likely, planned by the DOJ/FBI for later use in their 2016 Trump operation; as evidenced in the September 2016 FBI request. Regardless of the planning aspect, billionaire Deripaska is connected to Chris Steele, a source for Chris Steele, and likely even the employer of Chris Steele.
The FBI used Oleg Deripaska (source), and Oleg Deripaska used the FBI (visa).
Here’s where it gets interesting….
In a May 2018 article, John Solomon reported that Deripaska wanted to testify to congress in 2017 without any immunity request, but was rebuked. Who blocked his testimony?
In 2017, Oleg Deripaska was represented in the U.S. by Adam Waldman. Mr. Waldman was also representing Christopher Steele, the author of the Dossier. Waldman was the liaison Senator Mark Warner (Senate Intelligence Committee Vice-Chairman) was using to try and set up a secret meeting with Christopher Steele. {Text Messages}
As you can see from the text messages (more here), the House Intelligence Committee wanted to interview Deripaska. However, based on their ongoing contact and relationship Deripaska’s lawyer, Adam Waldman, asks Senate Intelligence Committee Vice-Chair Mark Warner for feedback.
Oleg Deripaska was blocked from testifying to congress. Now, it was obviously not from the HPSCI (Nunes Committee), but rather by the Senate Intel Committee, via then Vice-Chair Senator Mark Warner. Oh yes, THAT Senator Mark Warner again.
Now, think about this…. Yes, with Oleg Deripaska in the picture there was indeed Russian meddling in the 2016 election; only, it wasn’t the type of meddling currently being sold. The FBI/DOJ were using Russian Deripaska to frame their Russian conspiracy narrative. It is almost a certainty that Deripaska was one of Chris Steele’s sources for the dossier.
Now, put yourself in Deripaska’s shoes and think about what happens AFTER candidate Donald Trump surprisingly wins the election.
All of a sudden Deripaska the asset becomes a risk to the corrupt Scheme Team (DOJ/FBI et al); especially as the DOJ/FBI then execute the “insurance policy” effort against Donald Trump…. and eventually enlist Robert Mueller.
It is entirely possible for a Russian to be blackmailing someone, but it ain’t Trump vulnerable to blackmail; it’s the conspiracy crew within the DOJ and FBI. Deripaska now has blackmail material on Comey, McCabe and crew.
After the 2017 (first year) failure of the “insurance policy”, it now seems more likely President Trump will outlive the soft coup. In May 2018, Oleg tells Waldman to call John Solomon and tell him the story from a perspective favorable to Deripaska.
As the story is told, in 2017 Oleg was more than willing to testify to congress… likely laughing the entire time… but the corrupt participants within congress damned sure couldn’t let Deripaska testify. Enter corrupt SSCI Vice-Chairman Mark Warner:
Um, we’ve got a problem here Mark…
The Russians (Deripaska) really did have leverage and blackmail… but it wasn’t over Donald Trump. Factually, Oleg had blackmail on Comey, McCabe and the DOJ/FBI conspiracy crew. Oleg Deripaska must be kept away from congress and away from exposing the scheme.
Guess who else must be controlled and/or kept away from congress? Yup, Julian Assange. Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has evidence the Russians didn’t hack the DNC.
Between Deripaska’s first-hand knowledge of the DOJ/FBI work on both the Dossier and the DOJ/FBI intention for his use as a witness; and Julian Assange’s first-hand knowledge of who actually took the DNC email communication;… well, the entire Russian narrative could explode in their faces.
Control is needed. Control is a reaction to fear.
You can almost hear the corrupt U.S. Intelligence officials calling their U.K. GCHQ partners in Britain and yelling at them to do something, anything, and for the love of God, shut down Assange’s access to the internet STAT. Yeah, funny that.
Now, who moves into position to control Julian Assange?
Well, well, well…. Lookie here? Who dat? Apparently the SSCI wants to interview WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, in a closed session. Signed by none other than our corrupt-o-crats, former SSCI Chairman Richard Burr and Vice-Chair Mark Warner. Yeah, funny that.
Lest anyone need a reminder…. “The most corrupt part of Congress is the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI). The SSCI is the center of the deepest part of the Deep State swamp. The SSCI never, ever, E.V.E.R… does anything that does not protect and advance the self-interest of the corrupt Washington DC professional political class.” The SSCI enaables the Fourth Branch of Government.
Now do we see why the SSCI is the center of protecting the entire fraudulent apparatus?
It’s somewhat humorous to look at this Spygate fiasco from the perspective of Oleg Deripaska. He likely had lots of laughs with his Ruskie friends about these stoopid Amerikans, and how the intelligence apparatus of the United States of America is controlled by corrupt politicians trying to save themselves and the corrupt institutions.
The Russians, notorious for sowing discord, are being used as a shield from sunlight upon actions taken by U.S. own intelligence officers: James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Loretta Lynch, Sally Yates, John Brennan, James Clapper etc.
Think about it from the perspective of the DOJ/FBI conspiracy group reading how Oleg instructed Adam Waldman to present his story.
With Deripaska telling John Solomon (via Adam Waldman) how the FBI contacted him; the background of their prior collaborative relationship; and the likelihood of Deripaska giving information to Chris Steele for the dossier; the scheme team really, really, needed to double down on the Russian conspiracy narrative in case Oleg ever did testify to congress.
By doubling down on the Russian Collusion narrative, the conspirators created a ‘catch-22’ defense. They could/can claim Deripaska was/is giving disinformation in his version of events to support the interests of Russia and sewing chaos in America etc. And any Republican who would give Deripaska a platform to tell what happened in 2016 would be doing the bidding of Vladimir Putin. See how that works?
Throughout the Trump term in office, the DOJ, FBI and intelligence community protected themselves by impugning the motives of Oleg Deripaska, and diminishing his credibility under the auspices of Russian disinformation. However, with Trump out of office, the intent of those same DOJ and FBI officials shifts from impugning motives to putting a bag over Deripaska and keeping him locked down.
On the day after Mueller completed his investigation in April 2019, the FBI moved to arrest Julian Assange.
On the day after Chris Steele and ABC broadcast their Steele Dossier documentary, the FBI moves to raid Oleg Deripaska.
See how that works?
I don’t see anything showing Deripaska himself was there, or apprehended. Not sure what good a raid on his home does as I assume he’s not dumb enough to keep anythign criminal at his home in DC. Optics?
It’s propaganda. It doesn’t matter if he’s there. They’ll plant evidence or find something to try and undermine and discredit the guy so anything he says about their corrupt activities can be handwaved away.
Plant fabricated evidence of Trump-Russia collusion.
Except that “what he keeps at his home” is determined by…. the FBI!
We know them by now!
and the FBI cannot be trusted. Ask Kevin Clinesmith…
That’s an interesting point. What are they odds he knew in advance what they were planning to do and he disappeared himself not unlike Snowden?
I didn’t think he was allowed in the country?
Where there’s a demo-plot will, there’s always a sneaky way!
Another article said he doesn’t even own the home. Probably leasing it. It was all for show. Kabuki theater.
so jurisdiction is controlled on DC judge mafia soil
I hope Mr. Deripaska has hidden security cameras all over the place, filming these idiots fecklessly tromping through his house – then we can see them on youtube
Filming the FBI planting evidence.
With audio as well.
The answers to your observation may be related to the focus on the SUV.
The FBI appears to be looking for forensic evidence of just who may have recently been in the vehicle and thus, “Recently have communicated with Oleg Deripaska.”
This is all giving me the massive impression of ‘muh Russia’ redux.
I.E., the ability to insert whatever is ever required to advance a ‘Six ways to Sunday narrative.’
Let’s face it, the .f.b.i. still wants to get Trump. They still see a Trump Russia collusion…..didn’t Muller say he couldn’t find one? Thought that was the whole thing with the “get Trump” message……killery wanted to be the selected resident instead of bite-me.
The FBI wants to get everybody that supports Trump because they are American terrorist. Never give up the fight.
Neither house belongs to Oleg. They belong to his relatives. It was reported that at one of the houses it appeared they were removing paintings
Also, Oleg hasn;t been in the USA for yrs. I assume he is home in Mother Russia
Deripaska is under US sanctions and has been for at least a few years. Deripaska had his boy Steel and Adam Waldman represent him to remove the sanctions. Enter the FBI/DOJ and dangle lifting sanctions in return for help in building the Orange man is a Russian asset narrative.
McCabe and Ohr met with Steel concerning lifting sanctions and flipping Deripaska to work with them.
This raid is probably under some concocted sanctions BS and will keep Deripaski from entering the country for fear of arrest. These guys know what they are doing. Always a few steps ahead.
So he will be convicted in absentia. The case will be sealed for national security reasons, which is how they hide behind corrupt practices. They call it a slap and seal. It’s a way to shut people up and never expose what is really going on.
These raids are a show. They don’t need evidence.
Deripaska’s homes on US soil are held in family members names.
Deripaska will never step foot on US soil again.
This is what the DoJ did to
Natalya Veselnitskaya. They charged her for not being a registered foreign agent and or money laundering. I can’t remember. Sound familiar?
I find myself pulling for the Russians over my own government. Never would have believed it.
At this point it would seem that Russia actually cares more for their people than our government does, so it makes sense to me.
No vax mandates either. Say what you will about how despicable Putin may or may not be, I’ve always thought he loves his country.
He does. He is a nationalist like Trump and the Globalists hate him. Search for the videos of Putin talking about his disdain for the NWO; I don’t think they’ve been scrubbed.
Yuup, he sure does….he loves his people (if they are faithful) also. He doesn’t look to fill up ALL the empty spaces with illegals.
Hate to admit the same. Putin makes more sense than Biden and company for sure. The USA looks like the USSR of my childhood with all the authoritarianism and deceitful state run media.
Literally! USSR 1976 => Get on a list, wait one year for a new car, accept whatever color they give you.
We used to shake our heads and laugh at that!
Dead on. And that’s so sad…
It is sad that this country has become that, although Americans have always presented themselves as being better than everyone else…..which is why most don’t care for us. Oh, they welcome us as visitors cause we have money to spend and they want the money, but mostly they don’t like Americans.
Could you imagine any Democrat ever sitting down with two hostile reporters like this and doing an unscripted unedited interview?
And at the end of the interview, this is what they concluded:
“YOU REALLY ARE ON THE SAME PAGE AS DONALD TRUMP” (@1:24:35)
I literally spit out my coffee when I heard that comment, here:
Two hours of pure “common sense” from Vladmir Putin.
If you have the time, it is really worth watching the whole thing, as it is about the battle about what “globalization” will look like in the coming decades. And Putin is on the side of the middle class, common sense and traditional values… verses a “woke”, corporate, big bank, “rules based order”, promulgated by progressive Democrats.
Fascinating responses by Putin. OTOH, very “telling” sideways smirks and glances between the two smug interviewers. Who did they believe they were fooling?
Putin really gets it (how leftwing these two idiots really are), near the end after they grill him with a series of questions about the role of religion in the culture, Putin notes they “must be detached from religion because it is 12:45 am Moscow Time” and they “continue to torture” him.
?. ?
The Body Language Ghost says you tell Putin speaks English. Why use a translator? Appear weak when you are strong.
How about considering that Putin speaks in Russian because he is far more articulate in his native tongue, has no desire to show off the extent (or limitations) of his foreign language skills, and finally, his own people will understand his responses better.
Ever seen the video where Putin is speaking to his own power elite and he just flat out says that the Western powers that be worship Satan? It’s in the middle of a rip roaring verbal take down of the state of the West.
Me too.
I am pulling for our government. The problem is, by the definition under the constitution, we don’t have a representative republic. We don’t have elected officials… they cheated to assume power. And they don’t act in the best interests of this country or its people.
I am pulling for the restoration of our government.
Absolutely!
I’m pulling for our Constitution and the former concept of “rule of law.” Neither of those are being followed or even respected by the current plutocrats running Washington DC.
when you have a selected resident breaking the law without ever being charged, what do we expect of the rest of his ‘crew’? Besides, those growing up in todays’ America are being taught and showed that it is OK to lie……Just hard to keep track of them all.
Putin also turning the screws on Europe with the Nordstream gas pipeline. This is a show worth getting the popcorn for.
That’s because “our government” is now actually external to the country. What used to be the Republic is now a collection of state governments and the Washington Kabuki Theatre Players.
The thing that’s interesting about Putin is that he’s smart, wily, has power and cunning at his command, and is not a globalist. He has to be making moves behind the scenes with the knowledge that those who engineered the hostile takeover of the US will come knocking at his door soon if he lets it come to that.
Agreed, and have for many years now.
My admiration for President Trump is off the charts.
The U.S. Government and the “ fourth branch” are pure evil.
What is to become of the U.S.A. now that a sizeable portion of its population distrusts its government, its politicians, its judiciary and its Law Enforcement Officers.
I for one refuse to recognize any politician here in Canada.
I am done..and free of the charade.
Cheers!
This is a tragedy. I can no longer support our law enforcement, the military, and pretty much the entire federal government has been acting like an enemy of the people…
The Russians aren’t threatening me.
How many weeks before Deripaska “commits accidental suicide” ?
Or will it be days?
Yeah, Putin has no reason to let this corruption be exposed he’d have way too much to lose if Trump were to be put in office as he rightfully should be. Won’t be shocked if he has already talked to Oleg or if he arranges for the guy to have an “accident”.
No, Putin didn’t have a problem with Trump. Many times, Trump did note that it would be good for our nations to be friends.
It is the American Deep State, Fourth Column, Globalists and Wall Street that are aligned against Putin.
I agree 110%. IMO Putin was willing to negotiate with DJT on issues of his country’s interests. But unfortunately it never even got off to a start.
So true.
I think so, too – we need to and should be friends with Russia –
and who was it worrying if we would be friends with Russia?
To me, the PRC/CCP is the obvious answer
You forgot the left wingers and the msm. That would be a catastrophic for them.
Putin has it out for Soros, with good reason. Soros shorted the ruble and caused a horrific contraction of the Russian economy. That was when Russians were having no choice but to drop their kids off to orphanages.
BTW, Putin stopped the trafficking- oh excuse me, orphan adoption – of Russian kids. Probably for good reasons there too.
Soros did the same with the UK while they were in the European Exchange Rate Mechanism, the precursor to the Euro.
Then Chancellor Norman Lamont thought he could outlast him. Interest rates sky rocketed overnight to 21%. When that happened the UK bowed out. That was Soros playing chicken with the British government. He won and cashed in.
He has been trying to get it done even here for many years. Just not finding it as easy as it was in the past. After all, he is older,and slower, and not as UP on things like he was….things change faster then he can keep up, but he is still trying.
Putin?!, how about Hilary and Obama? McStain is gone, so there is no problem there. Question, is there a Ukraine connection here? Remember Joseph Cofer Black? McStain and Rommey’s buddy?
Hunter Biden resigned from Burisma this April. Zlochevsky’s company, incorporated in Cyprus of course, now enjoys the support of former CIA counter-terrorism coordinator Cofer Black
I hope he doesn’t fall out of a helicopter.
please no, I pray to dear God to protect him – and Julian Assange as well –
Start clearing a new plot in HRC’s rose garden! Always room for one more!
More like how many weeks before FBI Director Wray comes down with polonium poisioning.
“Keep in mind, in September of 2016 Andrew McCabe was Deputy Director of the FBI, when two FBI agents approached Deripaska in New York – asking for his help.” The depth of Deep State corruption seems to have no bottom.
I really don’t understand why Barr and Durham felt any need to continue seeking to prosecute anyone.
It isn’t as if half the nation is following Durham’s actions, so small have they been.
In other words, there seems to be no need for a paint job when the cover-up had already succeeded in covering up and other things were now in the news.
Right?
Of course, a small advantage is that with midterms coming up and candidates for POTUS likely to stick out their heads after the midterms, the part of the nation that already hates Trump gets to say that they saw on ABC with George S a guy who said there really might be pee tapes.
BFD on all counts.
If you don’t paint over the bondo, you leave room for rust. It’s all about CYA.
Think about it this way: They have applied about 20 coats of various colors of heavy primer. All they are doing now is putting a single color on the primer to make it all look the same.
It is a lot easier to control someone from a jail cell than from that someone’s townhouse.
This is not about prosecution. It is about making sure that people who know things cannot reveal what they know.
The investigation is the coverup. By having an active investigation ongoing no other agency or individual can investigate anyone or anything connected to it. It protects anyone involved and the agencies from FOIA or anything else. They just throw out a little tidbit that so and so is “close to releasing a report” of some kind and it effectively blocks everything. Total protection for total corruption.
An active investigation by a Special Council is the firewall against Congressional oversight and FOIA.
Well Sundance, your apology is reasonable given your Christian qualities and deep understanding of the issues he faced.
Derapska and you have done nothing wrong in this matter – he, laughing at the FIB ‘s preposterous suggestion, that he help them frame DJT and you piecing the facts together to reveal the whole truth to the world.
This episode, like so many, helps us separate the good guys from the bad. Lesko Brandon and F**k Chris Wray
Chris Wray thinks overthrowing our government is funny. Probably had a real belly laugh after Parkland and Vegas.
I’d take the word of Deripaska and Putin over Wray and Clinton any day.
Me too!
yes!
And remembering those idiotic-looking FBI agents wandering around the home of the San Bernardino shooters and how they left things there –
Deripaska comes down with Covid-19 in 3,2,1…. Ven-ti-late, Ven-ti-late (in my best Dr. Who Dalek imitation).
Then, “it’s too late Jim, he’s dead”!
Cut scene and we are done!
No way in hell –
Oleg, keep safe!
CYA! Move along.
So, did ABC coordinate airing the interview with the FBI? And NBC got the rights to cover the raid? Wonder who will show up on 60 minutes soon? Fox has to get some crumbs, too.
Looking at that tweet makes me reflect back on what Sundance always said about the Dossier having to be protected at all costs, because that’s the central (and most likely the only) document they used to gain FISA warrants and justification for the Mueller Special Counsel.
Now that the Alfa Bank Trump/ Russian server link story has collapsed and been exposed by Durham for the fraud it was, that only leaves two main pillars remaining of the “Russian collusion operation”.
The three pillars of Russiagate:
Alfa Bank Trump/ Russian server link(Durham)The frantic attempt to rehabilitate Steele’s credibility is a frantic attempt to rehabilitate the Steele Dossier itself, which lies at the heart of the FBI/DOJ fraudulent justification for spying, and is probably their worst criminal activity that leaves them vulnerable to legal exposure. Are they mounting a public PR campaign in the interest of self-preservation?
Don’t forget “Time” magazine! Maybe Thomas Friedman and George Stephanopoulos can do another side piece like they did about assassinating Saddam Hussein in the November 24, 1997 issue.
I wish Hans would post his stuff to GETTR too. I don’t do TWITTER or FACEBOOK.
Here is what do know with absolute certainty – if the FBI is raiding a home or business it is for the sole and express purpose of covering up FBI corruption or to harass a patriot. Often both. There is absolutely no other reason for the existence of the FBI.
Another Lifetime TV Original: FBI Raids of the Rich and Famous
The FIB was there to steal anything that could cause Steele discomfort.
Or plant evidence to cause Trump discomfort.
I knew when I read Sundance’s recent essay on this subject that there were going to be big repercussions. More people read this site than we imagine and as someone who’s an avid online reader and information hound, I can tell you than many of the top writers and newsies in other media are using Sundance’s material without attribution.
As far as Derry Pasta- he is a super wealthy dude and if he is stupid enough to be hanging around the shit hole of Washington D.C. then he deserves whatever happens to him.
Right now there about 500 innocent American citizens who are being tortured to death in a DC jail for the crime of supporting our President Trump. None of them are millionaires or billionaires and it remains to be seen how many will get out alive.
Derry had his chance. No apologies necessary in my book.
Great work as always StE!
, I can tell you than many of the top writers and newsies in other media are using Sundance’s material without attribution.
True dat! I see Sundance’s influence in a lot of place. I would be nice if credit was attributed but just getting the word out is a good thing.
Mycroft- I think that Sundance is so far above everyone else that he probably doesn’t care about attributions. His patriotism and love of Country just shine through his work.
Agreed! Is why I simply said it would be nice 🙂
They are caught. We know it. They know it.
The desperation is palpable.
They can move the chess pieces to stall for time, but the game is already finished.
Doesn’t seem like it, but rationally, it’s the only possibility.
If there were no potential trouble ahead for them, would they schedule an interview with Stephanopoulus? Would they stage a “raid” of Deripaska?
But…if they thought they had no hope to avoid accountability, would they do either of these things?
They clearly think they have a chance. But increasingly it seems like their only chance is to pique us into violent rebellion so they can go all Terror War against us and burn all the institutions down. Which is indeed about as desperate a strategy as you can get.
Oh dear, is that a noose made of bed sheets in a cell that I see, or perhaps a sudden death from COVID…
I was just talking about Deripaska in the Steele thread, because I figured this was the next shoe to drop in Durham’s investigation. Deripaska was an honorary member of Crossfire Hurricane as an FBI CI since 2013 handled by Michael Gaeta. Not to mention his history with McCabe and Ohr going back to NY Eurasian crime desk. I pointed out Deripaska’s ties to Steele, Waldman, SSCI, McCain, Joffe, Fusion GPS, Kilimnik, Manafort — and the moderator wouldn’t post my comment.
If Steele and ABC conducted a pre-emptively media campaign, then both Steele and ABC knew the investigation was about to do something; and almost certainly will know whatever it may do in the future.
If some entity began pre-empetively hurling the Dossier into the memory hole, that entity knew the investigation was about to do something; and almost certainly will know whatever it may do in the future.
If that is the case, then Steele, ABC, and the entity have sources (leakers) collaborating from within the Durham investigation.
If that is the case, then what does that say about the integrity of the Durham investigation?
Loose ends are being tightened. That is all.
“sources (leakers) collaborating from within the Durham investigation. integrity of the Durham investigation?
Not necessarily. All are in a small club, and we’re not. All know each other and the same with their lawyers.
Think they don’t talk after coming out of a Durham GJ or sit-down question time. Any not out speaking to the press are hoping they are not in the crosshairs yet.
For future reference, Oleg Deripaska didn’t kill himself.
Why put Andrew McCabe back in the spotlight? That doesn’t make sense if the Durham report is just spray paint.
The use of McCabe was to show how he was harmed by the evil Trump/Putin regime. He has now been rightfully restored to that honorable institution, the FBI and the DOJ.
In other words, he and them did nothing wrong. Trump was guilty and got away with it.
what if – Durham was good with McCabe having his pension restored, all is hunky-dory – now see what McCabe does next and others, too – maybe they relaxed, maybe they celebrated, maybe loose lips are sinking ships
do they walk into something and can’t find their way back out – now the ABC interview by Stephanopoulos of Steele was hubris which now tastes like chalk?
Which is why they had to expunge his record … because he did “nothing” despite what the IG report proved.
It’s a signal to the rest of the rats to stay calm, and stay quiet. They can’t afford a stampede right now.
It would be quite helpful if Deripeska had various “trip wires” and audio/visual recording devices that he could see and record remotely in real time as the activities commenced and throughout the intrusion. It would be nice if these little bits are then shared with the public of what was happening.
Please tell me someone with these resources has some security (independent of state electric sources, etc) and ability to record.
That’s what I’m thinking too. One doesn’t become a Russian oligarch billionaire during Putin’s reign without knowing how the game is played. He could take this whole thing down, if he plays it right. Maybe I’ve watched too many movies. Maybe I’m looking for an unlikely hero to emerge. Regardless, I’m rooting for him.
Who is giving Russia more, Trump or the Democrats?
The Commie Democrats. When Pres. Trump won 2016, the Russia Russia Russia BS started….Russia is evil, Russians are evil, Putin is evil. ….
Then photos are published of various DemoCrap politicians having dinner parties with Deripaska and other dubious Russian nationals.
Wasn’t John McCain 2016 birthday bash on Deripaska’s yacht?
With lot’s of swampy guests.
my thoughts too!
Let’s see, Assange, Epstein, McAfee all supposedly had tripwires, and so far – nothing.
So not really expecting any from this Deripaska person, but then again, maybe he will finally realize tripwires should be activated before he goes down, keep the powers that be wondering if there is more, even more damaging information out there that if they don’t stop pursuing, even framing him, could come back to haunt them.
It is to laugh that the FBLie will actually find anything of use. We’re talking about a high level Russian oligarch. One who is used to dealing with these kinds of actors.
Additionally, he will most likely have set the stage for them to make fools of themselves, again.
Most assuredly, there will be manufactured evidence, as that’s the only kind they will find in his home.
secret cameras recording FBI agents planting things in his house, that would be good
He’s a Russian. He’s an old school Russian at that. He was probably watching the whole time, taping it.
Now wouldn’t that just be delicious.
I think you’ve hit a nerve there, Sundance. Keep up the good work. You’re a treasure.
Manafort was negotiating a deal with the Ecuadorian President to kidnap Assange from the embassy.
The fbi doing what it does best, show off their thespian skills. Theatrics and sloppy performances, is what the agency is known for.
Sundance, I hope you’ll forgive the impertinence of a long-standing admirer of your incredible work…and this IS a rhetorical question only. Your indepth knowledge and dot connecting, complete with dates, names, etc, leads me in my more idle moments to ponder upon what your day job used to be.
I’m always agog when you post an explanation of the spiders web which entangles all the corrupt players involved in the various nefarious activities, which have nothing to do with the legitimate running of our government.
With a few admirable exceptions, our “journalist” class could certainly learn from a masterclass taught by you.
Makes one wonder doesn’t it.
Oh yes it does!
“I don’t always use the FBI to overthrow the government.
But when I do, couldn’t we do better than Joe Biden, lame botas Imbécil!”
There seems to be an ongoing criminal conspiracy by Deep state Mafia under Monaco and Wray, Same as the old Club. It’s really not surprising. Piglosi is trying to further the cause by using IRS jackboot thugs on everyone too.
Too bad there are no “white hats” in DC….sad that all federal agencies are more corrupt than any 3rd world country could ever dream of. Heartbreaking.
Amen! I have wondered the same! There were thousands involved in the massive fraudulent 2020 elections and not one whistleblower has come forward? Not one has a guilty conscience shows how low we have sunk as culture. We have reached Gomorrah!
Whistleblowers HAVE come forward. There was one at the post office and another was a truck driver carrying blank ballots.
There were hundreds of people who gave affidavit testimony.
Law enforcement does nothing. And the news media reports none of it.
We don’t live in the United States that we’ve been imagining.
“Sloshing Towards Gomorrah” – Bork
Slouching Towards Gomorrah – Bork . It appears to me we’ve arrived there such has America’s culture deteriorated!
Always keep in mind that the intelligence oversight committees have Republican representatives on them. The Democrats were allowed by the Republicans to run interference for the IC and Mueller. Of all the parties involved in the coup d’etat, it is the GOP that is the most guilty.
UniParty, the GOPe side, however they are ALL (UniParty members) guilty.
Wayne’s paraphrase- “And the Lord said to me, ‘Faithless demonrats have proved themselves more righteous than treacherous Rinos'” – Jeremiah 3:11
Where are the armored vehicles, helicopters, armored agents with real assault weapons. I guess they are just for 71 yr. old man and his wife, not for a Russian who I feel sure has an impressive security force. Oh snap, I forgot they are looking for domestic terrorist parents, what was I thinking.
Oh Boy!!! This must be giving the Trusty Planners a massive wet dream.
Stealth Elf, Miller Time, Barr, Figment of Imagination Durham, finally dropping the hammer on the bad guys. /S
They are still very afraid of Trump. They are scrubbing the evidence away, probably planting ‘exculpatory’ evidence, so that any future investigation will not find a trace of what really happened.
they should read “MacBeth”
Right?! Dude never thought Birnham Wood would march and became arrogant and reckless until the day when…
And so it is that Donald Trump continues to live rent-free in these people’s heads!
Yes, they have absolutely nothing to offer anyone. But they remain obsessed as to who they think that they must oppose.
I keep saying the same thing. He literally broke all of them mentally and emotionally. And they have never recovered.
I’ll bet before Pencil neck goes to bed each night, he prays to whatever dark gods he worships, for just one more real, for sure, guaranteed smoking gun that Trump colluded with the Rooshians.
> The FBI is to Washington DC what the FSB represents to Moscow.
Man that’s pretty harsh.
Truth hurts. And it’s the truth.
Sadly, it has turned into that.
The real question is what are the FIB deflecting from or covering up NOW? Time tells all.
Yeah, this feels like the opening act of the next play. We have only seen the first few lines
To be blunt, no one cares anymore about any of this now. It’s all about our jabs, our hospitals, our lives, our schools.
It is important though for Sundance to continue to document for the future for when people bring out the guillotines. (Funny, couldn’t get autocorrect to help me with the spelling of that word and google wouldn’t bring it up without great difficulty.Someone doesn’t like that word)
The coup conspirators must be punished.
I care.
This was a coup, an active, well planned and carried out coup against not only a candidate for the United States of America, but then a sitting President of the United States of America and thus against the citizens and very Constitution and form of government of the United States of America – by enemies domestic.
And until everyone is rounded up and jailed if not executed for treason the coup is ongoing.
Anastasia you bad bad bad naughty girl. Come here and get your spanking!
The FBI working on their coverup?
I wonder how much of Deripaska’s stuff will be given the five-finger discount treatment by the FBI. They seem to have a penchant for seizing things then demanding the owners prove how they got them.
But Oleg is still pretty rich, and he’s Russian.
There is NO love between Putin and the Corrupt DC at this point, so he might have a good laugh, have a meeting with Oleg and ask him to release the information. Heck, Putin himself might pay for the release of information.
Think about that. Putin has a fellow Russian Oligarch that can bring down a big bunch of the American Government and he is safe in his own country. This is not like the poor guy Assange in London.
I think the morons in DC are living in a glass house and are behaving with both fear and arrogance. It would not be hard for the likes of Putin to throw a house sized brick through their windows.
I would agree. Putin can see an opportunity to hurt the FBI by allowing the dirt to be put in the sunshine. Why create disinformation when disclosing the truth is easier?
I was thinking the same thing a little while ago. How much dirt do you think Putin has on the Hilderbeast, Joe Biden and his son? Wouldn’t it be something that it would be a Russian who takes them down.
We know by Hunter’s own admission that Putin has an entire laptop of him doing crazy —- with a bunch of Russian whores.
If revelation of information comes via Putin or his cohorts then the media and politicians from both sides of the aisle will say – see! those Russians are at it again! Fake news!
Really hope that we discover a better mouse trap is being triggered that the Left won’t see coming.
The only thing systemic in this country is massive political corruption and it all starts/emanates from Washington DC! The Constitutional Republic our Founders gifted We The People has become a corrupt globalist oligarchy run by the wealthy few for the wealthy few! I pray that We The People can restore this country to its founding but each day that goes by more and more destruction and corrupt is revealed and nothing seems to happen! God help us! Hosanna! Godspeed Sundance!
How long does it take for the FBI to plant kiddie porn?
The corrupt don’t bondo and paint something just to cover it up. They bondo and paint to get rid of it. I hope whatever they’re getting rid of doesn’t take President Trump. If the news media start selling Russia against Trump then I am going to get very worried.
What is “Durham”?
Well, I haven’t read the article, but my flyover take is….nothing the FBI does is to help good US citizens, so them raiding Deripaska has to be some kind of self-defense move.
Bastagees….
Deripaska doesn’t live there. When was the last time he visited the United States?
Guys -this is not a real investigation no matter who conducted it, Durham or FBI-NSD. Unless they planted and found something, this was just another PR stunt to advance a false narrative.
Just to be clear, an FBI lawyer got caught falsifying evidence DOJ/FBI presented to a federal judge in order to fraudulently obtain a warrant on Carter Page and Trump. So everything is possible and FBI should never be trusted.
and was rewarded by having his law license restored, which evidences durham, court and legal profession complicity.
” They could/can claim Deripaska was/is giving disinformation in his version of events to support the interests of Russia and sewing chaos in America etc.”
But here’s what’s wrong with that line of thinking: If Deripaska was giving false information in the name of Putin, it was Hillary and the Democrats, along with the FBI and CIA who were pushing that narrative and helping Putin. I don’t think the Deep State would push a narrative that would make them look bad!
The FBI is full on Stasi at this point. It is not a law enforcement agency and has not been for a very long time, it is a political thuggery arm of the democrat party and global elites. It must be dismantled.
Didn’t know Deripaska lived in the US.
Deripaska’s primary residence is in Moscow. I think he has a home in Cyprus, too.
I guess trust the plan is back from FBI’s Q. They need us back watching Fox and listening to RINOs saying everything we want to hear so we vote for them again. Same sh!t, different day.
That boat sailed Kleen.
Let’s hope.
Sailed with the Kraken waving from the lido deck.
Or, The FBI suddenly finds the P tapes during the raid (that they planted) and voila the msm crows that Chris Steele was right.
It’s easy to find and film a trump look alike and biden gets revenge for Hunter tapes. That would tie up the news more than COVID.
Oh man, would my blood boil over — My heart bleeds daily for the horrific treatment PDJT and his family receive 24/7. Let’s all continue to pray for his strength and good health.
If that’s the case, then their propaganda is effective.
Don’t get mad or you’ll give the Olegs something to laugh about.
Please pray for those that have already fallen in our struggle for liberty.
“Very many and very meritorious were the worthy patriots who assisted in bringing back our government to its republican tack. To preserve it in that will require unremitting vigilance.”
–Thomas Jefferson to William T. Barry, 1822
Except everybody knows what a germophobe Trump is. No way would he risk an encounter with an unknown Russian prostitute.
Very good. Magagandists have to be quick on their feet and counter with obvious absurdities.
A variation on this theme, that not only includes the absurdity, but a counter-theme, is very effective.
In this way, competing propaganda is not just neutralized, but a gift to be exploited if properly understood.
A general statement re: propaganda. YMMV. My opinion only. 🙂
“My old job at the State Department was what people used to joke as the chief propagandist...I’m not against propaganda. Every country does it, and they have to do it to their own population. And I don’t necessarily think it’s that awful.” – Richard Stengel, USoS for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs 2014-2016
(Stengel named by Lesko Brandon presidential transition related to the U.S. Agency for Global Media.)
and then Oleg splashes wonderful videos from hidden security cameras WATCHING FBI planting said pee-pee tape . . .
Vivid imaginations. I like that. Now who has a Photoshop skills — let’s out FBLie to FBLie.
