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?
Ahaha and….. the sh*%$@&t show continues!
Let’s raid her home…. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/10/democrat-maxine-waters-paid-daughter-81000-campaign-funds-fiscal-year-2021-bringing-grand-total-1-2-million-paid-since-2003/
“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.”
This will go well when it becomes well known that the FIB’s went to him for assistance previously.
As for getting the Assange treatment, the difference is Deripaska likely has sufficient money to mount a significant defense, and likely has been playing in the swamp long enough to call in some significant markers.
Or make it known to some that he knows where bodies are buried. I suspect Putin and the FSB would be more than happy to help as well.
Like the book Fauci was gonna write…what was the title? Something like ‘All the secrets I discovered working in the gubmint all my adult life’
FIFY Like the book Fauci was gonna write…what was the title? Something like ‘All the secrets I discovered
workingschmoozing in the gubmint all my adult life’I’m going to let out a yuge deep state secret.
The Fauci book didn’t happen because the ghost writer was Spooky, and he couldn’t stand the pompous little twit.
Deripaska is not an independent player, never was. He works for the Russian version of “Deep State.” All Russian billionaires, the so called “oligarchs” do. No exceptions.
I’m not saying he was, but the FIB’s have bitten off more than they can chew with him. He not only has his own resources such that he won’t be forced to hole up in an embassy for years, but I am sure the Russians will willingly assist to cause all kinds of hell for the FIB’s that they never in their wildest dreams thought of.
Vlad would likely help out his buddy just for fun, and to have a favor owed.
They obey Putin, but working for him is a bit misconstruing.
Here Putin calls the oligarchs “fuzzy cockroaches” and “greedy” with no care for social responsibility as he scolded them like school children for bringing production to a stop with their internal squabbles.
Putin asked Oleg Deripaska for his pen back after forcing him to sign a contract to improve worker benefits and get the plant online.
He threaten the oligarchs that if they didn’t get the plants up and running. he would.
So, not exactly business partners, more like stop thinking you have free rein to undermine social order on my watch.
This is why the west hates Putin. He put all the oligarchs on a leash. We would be well-advised to do the same here in the US.
Seems desperate messing with Oleg. Sure smells like panic for the Deep State. Hopefully it blows up in their face.
This will go well when it becomes well known that the FIB’s went to him for assistance previously.
Sorta like when they accused Carter Page of being as spy, when a few years prior he was on the payroll.
More differences from Assange, assuming Deripaska was not there yesterday. He is a billionaire with a number of powerful friends. If he is smart, which he seems to be, he probably has tapes, video, and written evidence of wrongdoing by many D.C. swamp creatures during the Russia hoax. I would not be shocked if he and, say John Solomon, who has interviewed him, came on a hugely watched prime time news show and spilled the beans.
Oleg is not in the USA and hasn’t been for years. He’d better hope he is not in a country currently with an extradition treaty with the USA.
Other reporting I read said the FBI walked out with flat rectangular boxes….the kind you would use for paintings.
Hunter wants his paintings back.
LOL. I debated about adding a Hunter crack to my comment, but I smoked it instead 🙂
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 Steeles sources for the dossier.
Accuse your enemy of what you, yourself, are guilty of. Now where have I heard THAT before?………………..
This may be a silly question, but why is there a video (2 1/2 hours) of this “raid” from RT (Russia TV)?
How many knew about this “raid” beforehand?
CNN apparently lost ‘this scoop’, as they weren’t camped out.
Instead, there is NBC — and RT?
Is anything the FBI does anymore NOT done for optics?
Honestly, I don’t have the time to watch/listen to FBI agents just standing around joking. It is obviously not that serious to them.
ALL optics. ALL theater.
Finding it very hard to feel sorry for or to apologize to Oleg Deripaska. If he really wanted to screw the FBI and help DT, he would have found a way. LET’S GO OLEG!
Deripaska, like any other oligarch, only does things for his own benefit. If someone else prospers as a result, then so be it, but it’s always going to be a “me first” attitude. There must not have been enough money to be made by giving the shaft to the FBI.
What makes Trump unique among the wealthy is that he was willing to sacrifice of himself for our benefit without regard to any gain he might see for himself. It cost him personally and financially to be President.
Agreed, so why tick Oleg off? Revenge can also be a powerful motivator. Unless, Oleg knew ahead of time and is going along with the theater???
Likely even Deripaska knew about the raid in advance.
It’s more likely Vlad knew about it and has a dozen different ways to help this thing blow right up in the corrupt DOJ’s face times ten
If the FBI finds a rope hanging in the closet it may be a nothingburger.
Did it look like a noose?
A garage door pull. I think the FIB was involved in that one too. So much water under the bridge on their domestic psyop operations it’s hard to keep it all straight these days.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
I noticed something in the video of Chris Wray being questioned by Tom Cotton. Wray is consulting something under the desk, either notes or more likely a cellphone. How did he get a phone on the floor and can the texts by FOIA’d?
There truly is no course of action to stop this Trump-Russia hoax freight train. The deep state is in total control and they will never relinquish it.
Our only recourse is to hope and pray that someday all of these jerks will die horrible deaths, hopefully sooner than later. It really is our only hope for justice, what little there may be, as all of them will die regardless of our prayers. Maybe history books will someday let the truth be known. But without the propaganda media’s confession, most Americans will never know the truth. I guess we must simply accept defeat.
Uh, no.
“Accept defeat” is not the correct answer.
Actually… it’s REALLY EASY to convict these losers…. The evidence is overwhelming against them. It really is. We just need an honest judge. Even a dishonest judge would have a really hard time letting most of these FBI, CIA, DOS scoundrels walk… because their crimes are so blatant.
If the media laid out this case to the American people– instead of suppressing it — 85%++ of the American people would totally see the BLATANT crimes committed by many in the US Govt… and demand their heads on a platter. SAME re the extensive, shocking nationwide election fraud.
The ONLY HAND that these govt criminals (& their conspiracy teams) have to play is censureship and suppression– HIDING the truth — from the American people. That suppression is working less and less and less. Eventually, the blinders will come off… and they are coming off. Millions if Americans now realize the shocking truth– our govt is crippled with corruption and even treason.
“The Media” is most definitely the biggest problem.
Maybe opening up a white flag business will take your mind off the situation. You seem like a natural?
Here’s a link that still up to Steele’s Dossier
I checked a few mins. ago.
it’s still up
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3259984-Trump-Intelligence-Allegations.html
Steele Dossier is still all over the internet. BUT, I tried to find it on Scribd and couldn’t. Figured John Solomon at least would have posted it there.
There were several hits, but when I went to them there was something else there, not the dossier.
Wonder if/why Scribd is scrubbing it
Show pipe. Pipe hung up to make it look like you’re doing something*

“He broke me, Jim. Hold me.”
Oleg, the Russian winter is better weather than the septic DC Swamp anytime. You should have returned home.
I read the piece twice, and a few news articles. It’s my understanding that the FBI raided a homes or two owned by a billionaire but said billionaire was not one of the items found in the home.
If he’s a Putin pal and a billionaire, even better for him. And if Deripaska has dirt on the FBI and Dems, then Putin does too and there’s now more than one blackmailer possible.
Somehow, unlike Assange, I don’t think Mr. Deripaska will be troubled by the FBI and its allies.
Where is Deripaska?
I am guessing he is in Russia. He hasn’t been in the US for yrs and those were not his homes. They belonged to his relatives
Yes, it was a farce.
I like to know more about Adam Waldman. Can’t find much after Johnny Depps ex-wife Amber Heard (Waldman represented Depp) made derogatory charges about Waldman and it seems Twitter threw him off at some point in last year. He’s sort of an enigma.
And this from (medium.com)…
… “According to Foreign Agents Registration (FARA) papers filed June 29, 2018, Endeavor’s connection with Rusal/Deripaska ended April 5, 2018, one day before Deripaska was added to the sanctions list. Additionally, The Endeavor Law Firm has changed its address to the DC office of another firm that represented Deripaska via its London office.”
https://medium.com/@ninaandtito/its-official-adam-waldman-of-the-endeavor-law-firm-no-longer-represents-deripaska-s-rusal-641290015e93
He’s the SSCI’s Sussmann, a lawyer in the middle tasked with holding the keys of A/C privilege. He effectively blurs the line defining who is the client:
DNC/Joffe
SSCI/Deripaska
Same business model, different law firm.
Waldman, Deripaska gets interesting very quickly.
Leads to Vekselberg Blavatik, Rusal/Susal/Glencore and ultimately China…specifically Hunter’s partner CEFC.

Maybe the Big Guy was point for the entire Russia frame job?
I wonder if this fits into to the latest deception propaganda by the FIB? Via the gateway Pundit: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said he is hoping Republicans will steer clear of relitigating the bitter 2020 election and will instead focus on the flawed Biden administration in a bid to win in the 2022 midterm elections.
“I do think we need to be talking about the future and not the past,” McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, told reporters.
Today’s FBI is J Edgar Hoover on steroids.
“THUMB DRIVES MATTER”.
DEPLORABLE JEDI.
When are these yahoos going to start flipping on each other? It will be of such magnitude and epic proportion that it would cause a tidal wave the likes we’ve never seen before. It is past time…
Who you gonna flip to? An honest FBI agent? A US Attorney interested in taking down the Deep State? My impression is that any and every piece of evidence damning to the Deep State gets scarfed up by these same prosecutors and agents and locked away in a top secret evidence room. Along with Rosatom’s crimes while CIFIUS approved Uranium One, Burisma’s CEO’s money laundering operation, HRC’s server, email, destruction of evidence, Seth Rich’s laptop, Anthony Wiener’s laptop, Imran Alan’s laptop from that FL Congresswoman, Hunter’s laptop, his business partner’s laptop, Epstein’s videotapes, the four contractors running rampant 4th amendment violations under contract with our own intelligence agencies.
Will they seek justice, or silence or cover up the next piece of damning information?
Christopher Steele: Product of Corrupt FBI › American Greatness (amgreatness.com)
Christopher Steele is a symptom, not a cause, of what ails the FBI. The nation’s top law enforcement agency flagrantly involves itself in U.S. elections on behalf of the Democratic Party. By Julie Kelly
Rather than depict Steele accurately, Stephanopoulos and ABC News social media interns repeatedly describe Steele as an “ex-British spy” or “former intelligence officer” even though Steele left MI6, the UKs version of the CIA, in 2009 to start a consulting business. (That same year, Steele presented a report on Russia to President Obama.) Steele’s now-discredited dossier, which Stephanopoulos tries to portray as “raw intelligence,” was the basis not just for the entire Russian collusion hoax but also served as key evidence to support four illicit FISA applications to obtain warrants to spy on Donald Trump and his associates.
Stephanopoulos’ goal, of course, is to convince uninformed viewers—in other words, most of Stephanopoulos’ audience on any given day—that Steele was working in an official national security capacity instead of as a Democratic political operative paid by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee to dig up dirt on Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential race.
But Steele, many folks forget, also had another funder in 2016: the Federal Bureau of Investigation. …
But Christopher Steele is a symptom, not a cause, of what ails the FBI. The nation’s top law enforcement agency—by employing untrustworthy informants at taxpayer expense, peddling garbage documents throughout government agencies, and leaking classified information—flagrantly involves itself in U.S. elections on behalf of the Democratic Party. The concocted plot to “kidnap” Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer last year is the most recent example.”
ALL of them are as crooked as can be. Trump is an Angel compared to this bunch. He needs to watch his back.
I always figured he made a deal and the results sometimes annoy patriots who have no personal nor ideological allegiance to particular persons or politics. We see that here sometimes. One example more public was him getting booed at rallies over the vaccine.
If he did make a deal and sticks to it, his back is safe from the fourth branch because IMO that’s who the deal would be made with.
The Communists appear to be recycling the Russia narrative and my question is what are they attempting to distract us from this time? The J6 operation is falling apart and the bioweapon operation still has legs for now but also appears to have peaked and pushback is increasing daily. IDK, I guess for some this is exciting. I’d much rather not have the specter of oppression and death, not to mention all the lies, hypocrisy and greed, hanging over an otherwise fulfilling life in what was once the greatest nation on earth. Oh, well.

Reminder, Paul Manafort was never charged with any crimes related to Oleg Deripaska regarding the 2016 election. Seems like a lot of blue anon people need to be reminded of that fact lol.
12:54 PM · Oct 19, 2021
Manafort and Stone have always been suspect imo.
Perhaps my suspicions relate to their partnership in lobbying firm BMSK? Perhaps it’s their founding partner, Charles Kelly? Maybe it’s the firm’s buyout by Burson Marsteller? Maybe it’s Burson Marstellers relationship with China since the 1980’s?…
Deripaska paying Fusion GPS and Orbis to get leverage on Manafort.
Vekselberg and Blavatnik paying Michael Cohen for who knows what?
That’s a few oligarchs.
What’s Deripaska’s relationship with Vekselberg and Blavatnik?
Involves Glencore, among other things.
I wish it were a Durham raid, and a sign of serious criminal charges.
However, no Durham raid is ever publicized and hardly ever even known about.
So, Sundance is likely spot on.
I’m just sick of our institutionalized corruption.
Perhaps, through this raid, the feds will uncover more salacious rumors about Trump that must be investigated. Can’t wait to read about the leaks.
Many years ago when radar was first invented. The Germans used small pieces of foil to confuse radar. Are we looking at our small pieces of foil?
All of my postings continue to show “Awaiting for approval”
Snoopy…I am sooooo sorry! I just pulled another four out of the bin. I’ve been through the blocklist, and I can’t find any of your relevant info on that list.

Steele’s defense of dossier collides with an avalanche of evidence to the contrary
https://justthenews.com/accountability/russia-and-ukraine-scandals/steeles-defense-dossier-collides-avalanche-evidence
I have a few comments / questions:
-It’s Oleg vs the Big Bad (corrupt) US Intel. Why doesn’t USI just take him (Oleg) out. You know, helicopter accident, etc.
-If US Intel has dirt and controls release on everyone, why did they let Burr dangle in the wind and go ultimately down?
-When is Waldman’s office getting raided? SOP, you know?
Neither house raided belongs to Oleg.
According to a Deripaska spokesperson, the homes belong to his relatives, NBC News reported. “The searches are being carried out on the basis of two court orders, connected to US sanctions,” the spokesperson told NBC News. “The houses do not belong to Mr. Deripaska.”
He hasn’t been in the USA for years. So, are they using Weissmann tactics to squeeze his family for something?

…”the likelihood of Deripaska giving information to Chris Steele for the dossier”…
Did Steele say one thing to Gaeta in Rome about the source of his information on Carter Page, and something different to the OIG?
More on the Deripaska, Manafort, Steele,Fusion GPS, Waldman relationships from La Cosa Jostra:
Very interesting that they were FBI from the NEW YORK office doing the raid in DC. I wonder what that is supposed to show.
Veteran DOJ prosecutor (22 years) now in private practice:

@shipwreckedcrew
“I would not DISCOUNT AT ALL the possibility that the SDNY investigation targeting Deripaska is meant as a warning signal to Durham akin to “Be careful who you expose and target because there are avenues to expose and target activity from the other side of the aisle.”
Tweet 2
“Durham likely has little insight into what the SDNY is working on. We believe Durham has some Dem. power players in his sights. The high political costs of the Biden DOJ trying to overtly limit his investigation is maybe leading to more oblique messages being sent.”
Tweet 3
“Whether that makes any difference to Durham or not remains to be seen. I expect leaks to the NYT and WaPo to begin shortly.”
I saw that earlier and said pffft…Oleg certainly has no dirt on Trump. He might have some dirt on some GOP peeps, but not Trump.
Unless Ship means Oleg has dirt on people Durham wants protected?
Ship is saying that the FBI and players on the inside, the ones who have everything to lose from Durham, are firing a warning shot at Durham. As Shipwrecked said- they are telling Durham “hey, we can go after people too”
I think this is another desperate power play by Biden’s people. Which we all know are Obama’s people, which are the same people tied to Clinton. Which are the same people who are causing the pain now.
I think desperate people are being desperate. My question is “About what though? About what?”
Because it appears as if there is no law in this country unless you are a plebe nobody. The “elites” have no worries….as proven by the lack of anything over the last 5-6 years.

When he took over he was just picking up an existing FBI investigation. At that point no one was investigating the FBI.
Durham isn’t going to use the FBI because management and case agents are subjects. I also read somewhere that he has a history of using Postal Inspectors.
IRS working w Durham???

@shipwreckedcrew
“I didn’t think about IRS Crim. They are most logical agency to be working with Durham.”
Durham using Postal investigators?
I think he is using the Postables. They just released a new movie on Hallmark.
Time for the FBI Rand and file to do what they do best. Cover up any criminal action and destroy all evidence.
Sanctions in place from 2018 don’t allow him to own property in the states, so properties in LLC, another article said he’s never lived there… the Fibber’s Bureau of Indoctrination is a vindictive, dumpster fire.
And when asked anything by any of this, the DOJ will answer, “I can’t comment on an ongoing investigation”
Sundance thank you. Outstanding. Please please watch your back and get this out as an historical spy thriller.
It is heartening that so many elected Republican representatives in DC are trying to do something to halt the complete Fascist takeover of America. Oh wait, they’re not.
Can you fit Andrew McCabe’s civil action settlement with USDOJ into this timeline? Small town.
Why do I keep hoping that this bubble will burst to reveal all the corrupt infection inside…..
The FIB and DS -want- Russia to get involved and defend Oleg. It doesn’t matter the nature of the dirt Oleg may have on the DS/FIB, all they want is the optics of Russia coming to the aid of ‘the guy’ involved in ‘Muh Russia’. The news morons will blast it all over as ‘Proof Putin wants to help Trump! Putin comes to aid of shady oligarch who was central figure in the Russian-collusion scandal!’
All they want is to blurt out ‘Trump, Russia, Collusion’ 24/7 again… it never mattered if it was true or had any factual basis then, why would it matter if it still doesn’t. Whatever real news comes out of this, it will be memory-holed anyway.
Unfortunately for the MSM and these idiots in government- too many Americans are aware there was no “russia russia russi.” Not enough but more now than previously. But, there’s a big problem- Trump’s not President, FJB is holding that post at the current moment….
And , they fail to understand that the smell of crap in the room, that wretched odor they can’t cover up…and they can’t hide it because it’s too prominent. It’s really hard to hide that shit stain of a fraud FJB….you can’t hide something that ripe no matter how hard they try. And, that will be their downfall.
Wow. I don’t wonder why Mark horse face Warner would be biting his fingernails to the quick in the last photo of his handshake with Comey? His pinkey’s are all red and even inflamed. Hmmmm. I guess that even knuckle dragging traitors have something to worry about.
I have a question; why now?
It seems to me the have everything they want/need now. All four branches of government are under their control. The media is not going to hold anyone in DC accountable. Why would they be covering their tracks now.
Unless this is another one of those; lets change the topic moments.
American Gestapo is just playing chess here. They don’t control this guy. They need a sham case indefinitely under seal. Kept ready to be rolled out if non compliance is detected.
with this raid, are they going in and removing and destroying all evidence?
…or placing in a long, dark, obscure, in plain site, secure warehouse, along with a hunter laptop, election miscounting computer code, 20 thousand emails, flight 800 information, jfk info, etc….?
The evidence can be helpful for instance,
by miss planting it / connecting it to anyone else of their choosing,
to coerce someone, to do something unnatural, untrue. It is what the nefarious do…
(insatiably because, someone corruptingly, might want to use the current information as future leverage on someone, or something – not to actually, lawfully, resolve corrupt problems? It’s like a dog that chases it tail, it is circular, it repeats …
usually at taxpayer’s wasteful expenses.
So, miss based on empty promises, or catchy miss titles to miss sell a notion, the corrupters want more money…and more…)
Being a part of those kind of untrusting, corruptive neighbors is not something to envy (having to look over their shoulders to see whom may be trying to get them …and / or to be selling one’s soul to evils as miss protection etc…..
That (corruptive networking) is not pursuing meaningful, happiness, nor genuinely loving thy neighbor imho)
love thy neighbors : )
Yes, but word is that they still didn’t touch Hunter’s laptop which had flashing neon lights and arrows pointing right at it.
Deripaska responds?

I am going to continue to regard the Durham glass as half full.
I’m reading the dossier now. Anyone with half a brain would know it is completely contrived.
The idea that Putin would want to embarrass the FBI is laughable. If he ever fell for the original media contrivance that Trump was a pushover, he got over it fast. Now Putin and all our other enemies love Uncle Joe and want to see him “lead” for many years, if it keeps Trump out of office!
Please allow me to condense a thought down that has me screaming inside.
è In 2009 the FBI, 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. ß
They left Robert Levinson to the Iranians! McCabe and Killery’s State Dept…. Soulless Evil
… and Deripaska’s billions won’t save him.
Amazing detail. Thank you. Seems like forever ago…
