Assange made excuses to refusing Russian govt. dirt

In 2014, the BBC and other news outlets reported on the cache, which revealed details about Russian military and intelligence involvement in Ukraine. However, the information from that hack was less than half the data that later became available in 2016, when Assange turned it down "We had several leaks sent to Wikileaks, including the Russian hack. It would have exposed Russian activities and showrn WikiLeaks was not controlled by Russian security services," the source who provided the messages wrote to FP. "Many Wikileaks staff and volunteers or their families suffered at the hands of Russian corruption and cruelty, we were sure Wıkıleaks would release it. Assange gave excuse after excuse."

Felix Sater and Paul Manafort are coordinating with Feds

Sater and Manafort together would pose a deadly threat to Trump's presidency if they testify that Russian money in his businesses led to information being exchanged with Russian intelligence. This is exactly the relationshipan 'exchange running between them for at least eight years'that the former MI6 officer Christopher Steele described in his 'dossier". At a news conference this week at his New Jersey golf club, the President bizarrely asserted that the Steele dossier had been paid for by Russia in order to damage him. This is the latest twist in Trump's response to the dossier, which began with flat denials in January that he had been filmed by Russian intelligence with prostitutes in a Moscow hotel room.

Emma Best confirms Wikileaks and Guccifer 2.0 coordinated Podesta Leaks

Emma Best @NatSecGeek Follow This is accurate newyorker.com/magazine/2017/ Someone close to WikiLeaks told me that before Assange published the Podesta e-mails he faced this precise scenario. In mid-August, Guccifer 2.0 expressed interest in offering a trove of Democratic e-mails to Emma Best, a journalist and a specialist in archival research, who is known for acquiring and publishing millions of declassified government documents. Assange, I was told, urged Best to decline, intimating that he was in contact with the persona's handlers, and that the material would have greater impact if he released it first. 2:58 PM-16 Aug 2017 . 166 Retweets 235 Like 10 166 235

It's difficult to view these expulsions as positive

The State Department has "horrified and rattled" by Trump's remarks, said a veteran U.S. diplomat who has served in Russia, speaking on condition of anonymity And Heather Conley, formerly a top State Department official dealing with European affairs, said the expulsions of hundreds of people from an important U.S. embassy is extraordinary and "it is very difficult to see how the president could view these expulsions as a 'positive' development in any form."

Moving the Goal Posts: GOP Style!

Evolution of GOP's Trump Defense There were no meetings with Russia. Fake news. There were meetings we forgot about, but not during the campaign. That person was no longer part of the campaign. Meetings with Russians are completely normal. There were meetings during the campaign, but not about the campaign. There were meetings, but we had no idea who we were meeting or why. There were meetings, but we got nothing, and it was a set-up. There was no collusion with Russia! Maybe Hillary colluded with Russia. Investigate that! We are too incompetent to collude with Russia. Collusion is not illegal. Everyone would collude. There was collusion, but who cares? This is a witch-hunt!

Paul Manafort's residence raided by FBI last month!

The home of Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, was raided by FBl agents in July, The Washington Post reports. A Manafort spokesman confirmed the raid to ABCNews "FBI agents executed a search warrant at one of Mr. Manafort's residences," he said in a statement. "Mr. Manafort has consistently cooperated with law enforcement and other serious inquiries and did so on this occasion as well Manafort had no advance warning about the raid, which took place July 26. According to the Post, "documents and other materials" were seized Manafort is a key figure in the investigation into the Trump campaign's ties to Russia. One day before the raid, Manafort met with Senate Intelligence Committee investigators to discuss a meeting of a Russian lawyer and members of Trump's campaign team that took place during the 2016 presidential election. Manafort spokesman Jason Maloni said the former campaign chairman "answered their questions fully." On July 27, Manafort retroactively registered as a foreign agent thanks to $17.1 million his firm was paid from 2012 to 2014 for lobbying work he did on behalf of a pro-Russian political party in Ukraine Manafort ran Trump's campaign in 2016 from March to August, when he resigned after questions were raised about that work. Last week, special counsel Robert Mueller, who's leading the Russia investigation, impaneled a grand jury, which will be based in Washington, D.C. Grand juries can be used as legal tools in cases where there is the possibility of criminal conduct, but this doesn't necessarily signify criminal charges will be brought. Trump has maintained that the Russia investigation is a "witch hunt," despite several officials - including Christopher Wray, his pick to replace James Comey as FBl director, and Sen. John Thune (R-SD.)-saying otherwise.

Real Estate is rife with money laundering

I asked Ross Delston, a D.C. attorney and anti-money-laundering expert, what a law-abiding developer in Manhattan, say, is legally required to do to make sure the anonymous buyer of a $50 million penthouse is not Vladimir Putin or the Sinaloa Cartel a law-abiding say,is legally equired to do to maliesnig "Nothing," Delston answered. Loopholes in U.S. regulations serve to "carve out an area that money launderers use all the time: high- end real estate," Delston said. So flagrant is the flood of soiled money in this age of kleptocracies and digital mobsters that the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has identified a half-dozen U.S. real estate markets for heightened scrutiny. New York is on the list, and South Florida, as well as the Bay Area, Los Angeles, San Diego and San Antonio. The Trump Organization is active in at least half of these markets.
