It Looks Like Giuliani Took Russian Money - Progress Pond
Michael_Novakhov shared this story from Progress Pond. Posted by Martin Longman | | White House | 16 | Image Credits: Mike Segar/Reuters, Guaranteed Fraud Website. I don’t know how anyone familiar with the English language can think it is a good branding ploy to name their company Fraud Guarantee. But that is exactly what Lev Parnas and David Correia did back in 2013. As the chief executive officer and chief operating officer they somehow attracted strategic advice and possibly seed money from Philip Reicherz who runs a venture capital fund called Magnolia Ventures. The company began with $1.5 million in the bank. But their website indicates a defunct enterprise premised on vague promises of protection against investor fraud. The screenshot below is current as of October 15, 2019. It shows that they are promising to roll out their primary product, InvestSafe™, in the Spring of 2016. Either that never happened or they have a very lazy person running their website. Guaranteed Fraud Website You can see that they were also saying they could provide a technology that would be an improvement on standard background checks. So, here we can see where they might be in need of some technological consulting work. Maybe back in 2015 or the winter of 2016, they might have hired someone for that purpose. Maybe a genius could figure out how to get a “technology” to listen for people “talking about fraudulent activity” by “scour[ing] the internet” and “crunch[ing] the data.” That’s certainly something some law enforcement and intelligence agencies are capable of doing. Why not two dudes in Boca Raton? So, this is what Fraud Guarantee looks like. And here is what Rudy Giuliani has to say about it: President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, was paid $500,000 for work he did for a company co-founded by the Ukrainian-American businessman arrested last week on campaign finance charges, Giuliani told Reuters on Monday… …Giuliani said [Lev] Parnas’ company, Boca Raton-based Fraud Guarantee, whose website says it aims to help clients “reduce and mitigate fraud”, engaged Giuliani Partners, a management and security consulting firm, around August 2018. Giuliani said he was hired to consult on Fraud Guarantee’s technologies and provide legal advice on regulatory issues. Maybe it’s me, but August 2018 seems far too late to be offering technology advice to Fraud Guarantee. And this is a company that started with $1.5 million in seed money and never seems to have developed a product. How can they afford to pay Rudy Giuliani $500,000? The New York Times reported last week that Parnas had told associates he paid Giuliani hundreds of thousands of dollars for what Giuliani said was business and legal advice. Giuliani said for the first time on Monday that the total amount was $500,000. Giuliani told Reuters the money came in two payments made within weeks of each other. He said he could not recall the dates of the payments. He said most of the work he did for Fraud Guarantee was completed in 2018 but that he had been doing follow-up for over a year. It would be fascinating to see Giuliani explain to a prosecutor or congressional committee what kind of work he performed in 2018 and the nature of his follow-up work in 2019. As for those two wire transfers Giuliani received, he says we shouldn’t worry about them. According to an indictment unsealed by U.S. prosecutors, an unidentified Russian businessman arranged for two $500,000 wires to be sent from foreign bank accounts to a U.S. account controlled by [Igor] Fruman in September and October 2018. The money was used, in part, by Fruman, Parnas and two other men charged in the indictment to gain influence with U.S. politicians and candidates, the indictment said. Foreign nationals are prohibited from making contributions and other expenditures in connection with U.S. elections, and from making contributions in someone else’s name. Giuliani said he was confident that the money he received was from “a domestic source,” but he would not say where it came from. “I know beyond any doubt the source of the money is not any questionable source,” he told Reuters in an interview. “The money did not come from foreigners. I can rule that out 100%,” he said. I’ve been saying that this is the biggest scandal in American political history, and this is just a small piece of it. Even John Bolton, of all people, wanted nothing to do this operation. The aide, Fiona Hill, testified that Mr. Bolton told her to notify the chief lawyer for the National Security Council about a rogue effort by [Ambassador to the European Union] Mr. Sondland, Mr. Giuliani and [White House chief of staff] Mick Mulvaney, the acting White House chief of staff, according to the people familiar the testimony. “I am not part of whatever drug deal Sondland and Mulvaney are cooking up,” Mr. Bolton, a Yale-trained lawyer, told Ms. Hill to tell White House lawyers, according to two people at the deposition… …It was not the first time Mr. Bolton expressed grave concerns to Ms. Hill about the campaign being run by Mr. Giuliani. “Giuliani’s a hand grenade who’s going to blow everybody up,” Ms. Hill quoted Mr. Bolton as saying during an earlier conversation. It’s amazing that Giuliani is still talking and still spinning. He says he’s 100% certain that he was not the recipient of two wire transfers totaling a half a million dollars that were sent by “an unidentified Russian businessman” to “gain influence with U.S. politicians and candidates” even as he freely admits that was paid exactly that amount in two wire transfers by the very same people. As you might expect, and as the Wall Street Journal is reporting, federal prosectors are hot on Giuliani’s trail. They are not going to be any more satisfied with his answers than I am, and they have the tools to prove he’s a liar. Lev Parnas and David Correia have both been arrested, along with Andrey Kukushkin and Igor Fruman. Two of them, Parnas and Fruman, were nailed at Dulles International Airport shortly after having lunch with Giuliani at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC. They were scheduled to testify before Congress but had one-way tickets indicating that they had no intention of fulfilling that commitment. And, yet, Giuliani is still insisting on his innocence. He’s still saying things that can and will be used against him in a court of law. And Trump is still complaining about the initial whistleblower, as if half his administration were not exposing the whole thing in sworn depositions before the House Intelligence Committee.

We need to call upon the FBI to investigate and fire those agents abusing the office and their power.   The FBI is supposed to be non-partisan, serious institution and not used like a third world country to attack and go after political opponents.   The leaks and attempts to influence the election by the New York FBI office prove that the Clinton Foundation investigation in that office will not be fair and impartial. The investigation of the Clinton Foundation needs to be moved to the DC office and only to those agents who are beyond partisan reproach. LINKS BETWEEN NEW YORK FBI AND TRUMP, GIULIANI, AND RIGHT WING CONSERVATIVES Here is a list of the ties we currently know between Giuliani and the Trump campaign and the New York FBI office: James Kallstrom was the former Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI office in New York Kallstrom is a friend of Trump and a Trump supporter endorsing and campaigning for Trump  Kallstrom is a good friend of Rudy Giuliani Rudy Giuliani is Trump’s main campaign surrogate Kallstrom is an often Trump Surrogate on Fox News Trump gave $1.3 million to Kallstrom’s Foundation (much of it was given this year) Kallestrom’s Foundation has not been rated or reviewed by Charity Watch or Charity Navigator for whether it is a legitimate charity Foundation Trump allegedly raised an additional $6 million for Kallstrom’s Foundation from wealthy donors Kallstrom’s Foundation gave Trump the “Commandant’s Leadership Award” at a Gala in New York last year Rush Limbaugh is one of the Director’s of Kallstrom’s Foundation as well as a donor Trump skipped the GOP debate in Iowa to attend Kallstrom’s fundraiser for his Foundation in New York this year Kallstrom and Giuliani have been on an anti-Comey attack on Fox News for months Giuliani’s security firms employ the former head of the New York FBI office as well as another former FBI official from the New York office The Trump campaign, Kallstrom, and Giuliani have purportedly been pushing the New York FBI to investigate Clinton based on alt-right wing conspiracy theories and The Clinton Cash book which its own author has said it was not meant to withstand legal scrutiny.  The so-called FBI leaks appear to be all coming out of the New York office and through Giuliani and Kallstrom who are trying to rig the election with false FBI reports. It appears that Trump gave $1.3 million to Kallestrom’s Foundation and Kallestrom and Giuliani have been abusing their power and connections to try to influence the New FBI office into investigating and going after Hillary Clinton.  Or, at the least least to spread a lie and smear campaign to try to influence the election.  There are a small group of alt-right wing Trump supporters in the New York FBI office who are peddling the alt-right wing conspiracy theories as facts.  We need the media to cover this and spread the word about this corruption and abuse of power.   Giuliani has been pushing the lie on Fox News that Hillary is about to be indicted.   Giuliani, Kallstrom, and Trump appear to be behind these false stories and they are using their friends and connections at the New York FBI to try to perpetuate this. It appears that Trump and Giuliani are using their ties to the New York FBI office to have them go after their political opponent. Giuliani and Kallstrom both have said on Fox News that they knew that something big was coming from the FBI in advance and that they had knowledge of an indictment coming as well as other information leaking out of the FBI. Was the Weiner investigation by the New York FBI just another partisan attempt to gain information for the Trump campaign to use against Hillary?  Did they just want to access Hillary’s aide’s emails? Are the partisan’s in the New York FBI office stifling investigations into Trump’s ties with Russia? “Wayne Barrett has written about what he sees as an alliance between Kallstrom, Rudy Giuliani, and pro-Trump supporters in the FBI.[11]” Here are some sources reporting on this:  www.vox.com/…   www.politico.com…   www.esquire.com…   www.slate.com…   uproxx.com/...  www.thedailybeast.com…  www.deathandtaxesmag.com…  mediamatters.org…   This content was created by

Michael_Novakhov shared this story from Just Security. Attorney General Bill Barr seems to be wrapping up his investigation of the investigation of Russian interference in 2016. Yet the whole episode, combined with Republicans’ line of questioning in the impeachment inquiry, seems like a political ploy to supply a counter-narrative to the U.S. Intelligence Community’s unanimous conclusion that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential elections. Instead, that “hoax” or “witch hunt” is a conspiracy developed by the so-called “Deep State”—namely the CIA and FBI—to delegitimize President Donald Trump’s presidency and frame his campaign as a criminal enterprise. In this parallel universe, it was the Democrats who colluded with Ukrainian officials to leak damaging information about Trump Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort. And yet, despite this supposed effort to help Democrats, Ukraine, simultaneously, hacked the Democratic National Committee’s server in order to leak embarrassing emails. In this version of events, for which there is no actual evidence, Trump never could have colluded with Russia, because Russia never did anything wrong. In order for this counter-narrative to stick, however, Trump and his associates need to destroy all trust in the Intelligence Community. That means making false allegations and stoking suspicions about those pesky civil servants who concluded that Russia mounted a massive influence campaign in 2016 aimed at, in part, helping Trump win. Last month, media outlets reported that Barr’s investigation had become a criminal one. Whether true or not, the claim—much like the public attacks from Trump, Republicans, and the conservative media ecosystem– seemed like a clear signal to civil servants – whether in the FBI, the CIA or the NSA — to tread very carefully if they planned to take any actions that came anywhere near the Russia-Trump nexus again. But, this was not the first threatening message sent to the intelligence and law enforcement community. Trump and his supporters have already released several shots across the bow. The original cast of characters who first began investigating the Russian interference operation in 2016, and whether Trump or his associates had any connection to it, have all faced intimidation and retribution from the president and his supporters. Former FBI Director James Comey was fired after Trump asked him to drop the investigation into Trump’s then-National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. Andrew McCabe, the former deputy director of the FBI who spent a large part of his early career fighting Russian organized crime in New York City, was fired one day before he was set to retire, putting part of his pension in jeopardy. Trump has repeatedly attacked FBI investigators Peter Stzrok and Lisa Page on Twitter and elsewhere, with particularly prurient and unsettling comments. Trump and his supporters also attacked FBI officer Bruce Ohr, who’s spent much of his career at the FBI fighting Russian organized crime; and his wife, Nellie Ohr—who works at Fusion GPS, the firm that hired Christopher Steele, and who’s done her own research on Russian organized crime. Congressman Mark Meadows even sent a criminal referral about Nellie Ohr to the Justice Department. Former general counsel at the FBI Jim Baker was also fired after Trump and others attacked him. The CIA has not fared much better. The president threatened to take away John Brennan’s security clearance as a consequence for the former CIA director’s public criticism of Trump. The White House also threatened to pull those of former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former CIA Director Michael Hayden for their candid commentary. One of Mike Pompeo’s first actions when he became head of the CIA was to interrogate the analysts who had written the report concluding that Russia had interfered in the 2016 election and had aimed to help Trump win. More recently, Barr traveled to both the United Kingdom and Italy to meet with intelligence officials in those countries. While there, he asked those foreign governments about the actions of his compatriot American intelligence officers. Republican Congressman Devin Nunes, ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, also gallivanted around Europe chasing conspiracy theories with the help of Lev Parnas, an indicted associate of Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani. Both Parnas and Giuliani have helped push the Ukraine counter-narrative. The situation has not improved as the Russia investigation has morphed into the Ukraine investigation (with Manafort casting his shadow over both). Trump tweeted a disparaging message about former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch while she was testifying before the House Intelligence Committee last week about how Giuliani waged a smear campaign against her with the help of a corrupt prosecutor in Ukraine. This came after Yovanovitch testified she had been told to take the next plane out of Kyiv because her security was at risk. Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, wearing his U.S. Army uniform (which is military protocol for appearances on Capitol Hill) and decorated with a Purple Heart, faced Republican lawmakers who questioned his loyalty to America. The Army is reportedly providing him security as needed. And, of course, Trump and his supporters have repeatedly attacked the person who set the impeachment inquiry in motion: the whistleblower, whom some media outlets have reported is a CIA analyst. Republican lawmakers are agitating daily to have his identity revealed while right-wing media outlets have been circulating a name for weeks of the person they believe is the whistleblower, putting a target on that person’s back. The Washington Post reported the whistleblower has a security detail. The lawyers representing the whistleblower have been smeared in the right-wing media and have received death threats. For all the legends about cunning spies, tough FBI officers, and skilled diplomats, it can be easy to forget these officials are human beings. They have children, wives, husbands, mortgages, bills to pay, families to care for, and jobs that provide their livelihoods. Putting all that at risk is scary. As such, we must ask: What deterrent do the Trump team’s intimidation tactics, including Barr’s now criminal investigation, create for those still gunning for the truth? Knowing the personal risks involved in pursuing the collection of intelligence or the investigation of topics that might lead to Trump, are our civil servants doing it anyway? If a case officer gets a Russia lead, does he or she pursue it? If the FBI believes the president or one of his associates is a counterintelligence risk, do they open the investigation? Or is bad behavior going to go unchecked this time because people are afraid to act, fearful of the personal consequences involved? In turn, what effect does this have on our national security? If our intelligence community becomes reticent to chase down counterintelligence leads because the president or his associates might be involved or have an interest in how they play out, how vulnerable does the country become? The good news is, these civil servants seem like they won’t be cowed. Yovanovitch and a slew of other officials are willingly testifying before Congress, and the original whistleblower’s complaint has reportedly been followed by others. From an operational perspective, any officers running intelligence operations that might touch on these subjects would be sure to set up solid compartmentation, so that only a very strict and small list of people with a need to know had access to the information. It is true that many people have chosen, instead, to leave these agencies. The State Department has suffered from high departure numbers, losing 12 percent of its foreign affairs specialists in the first few months of Trump’s presidency alone. Employment numbers for the intelligence community are classified, but it seems likely it has seen a similar trend. But for those who choose to stay, they seem ready and willing to carry on the pursuit of truth in service of protecting the country, despite the risks of reprisals from their own government. When Democratic Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney asked Vindman why, knowing he faced retribution from the most powerful person in the world – the president of the United States — did he choose to come forward and discuss what he saw as wrongdoing, Vindman replied, “Because this is America. This is the country that I have served and defended. All of my brothers have served. And, here, right matters.” Indeed, the Washington Post reported that the original whistleblower continues to go to work daily.

GOP officials ignore warnings, help echo Kremlin propaganda
Michael_Novakhov shared this story from msnbc.com Latest Headlines. Even if the only thing Republicans had to go by was the expert conclusions and advice of Dr. Fiona Hill, that should be enough. Her findings are clearly  not  the only thing GOP officials have heard about Russia’s efforts to blame Ukraine for the Kremlin’s attack on the United States’ 2016 elections, but Hill’s credibility and expertise are without rival, and should therefore be sufficient to persuade even the most far-right American officials. And as Hill, the former top Russia expert on the White House National Security Council, reminded Republicans last week, the idea that Ukraine was responsible for the 2016 attack is a “false narrative” being “perpetrated and propagated by the Russian security services.” It is, in no uncertain terms, Kremlin propaganda intended to hurt the United States. But Hill’s advice is not the only guidance GOP officials have received on the subject. The New York Times reported late last week that American intelligence professionals have “informed senators and their aides in recent weeks that Russia had engaged in a yearslong campaign to essentially frame Ukraine as responsible for Moscow’s own hacking of the 2016 election.” On Saturday, in response to the Times’ reporting, David Laufman, who served as the Justice Department’s top counterintelligence official, wrote, “From this moment forward, any member of Congress or U.S. government official who persists in making this claim is, essentially, aiding and abetting the enemy.” And yet, as Rachel noted on Friday’s show, a few too many Republicans can’t seem to help themselves. In this case, it’s not just Donald Trump, whose eagerness to toe Moscow’s line has been well documented; it’s also top GOP members of Congress, up to and including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who’ve been willing to cast public doubt about the findings of their own country’s intelligence agencies, even if that means inadvertently aiding Russian security services. This applies to senators, too. For example, on Meet the Press yesterday, Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) told host Chuck Todd that Fiona Hill is “correct that Russia tried to interfere in 2016.” In his next breath, however, Wicker added, “Also, Ukrainians themselves tried to interfere also.” Around the same time, Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) appeared on Fox News Sunday, where Chris Wallace asked the Louisiana Republican whether he believes Russia or Ukraine was responsible for the attack we already know Russia perpetrated. “I don’t know, nor do you, nor do any of us,” Kennedy said. “Ms. Hill is entitled to her opinion.” Wallace responded that the “entire” intelligence community points to Russia’s culpability. “Right, but it could also be Ukraine,” Kennedy said. Perhaps Kennedy missed David Laufman’s declaration from a day earlier. Remember, it’s not enough to marvel at the willful ignorance of some far-right members of Congress. Our own country’s intelligence agencies have told senators – explicitly, out loud, in person, and in detail – that the idea of Ukraine being responsible for the 2016 attack is part of a Russian op. At issue is a disinformation campaign, crafted by Moscow, for the purposes of undermining American interests. With those briefings for senators having already happened, Republicans are presented with a fairly straightforward choice: they can acknowledge reality and endorse the findings of their own country’s government, or they can peddle the line the Kremlin wants to hear because the discredited conspiracy theory may create a political advantage for Donald Trump. To prioritize the latter over the former necessarily puts GOP officials in a position in which they’re advancing a disinformation campaign created by an American adversary – one that has already attacked U.S. elections and intends to do so again – which our adversary launched to advance its interests, not ours. It’s hardly unreasonable to wonder why basic levels of patriotism don’t prevent the kind of mess the public is now confronting. The American tradition does not generally feature examples of a major political party helping advance an intelligence operation from a foreign foe. At times, it feels like the debate is regressing. We’re supposed to be well past the point at which there’s a partisan question about Russian culpability. The underlying point was resolved years ago, recently bolstered by the bipartisan findings of the Senate Intelligence Committee. During last week’s hearing with Fiona Hill, some GOP members briefly seemed annoyed by her pleas, suggesting the Republican Party did not need a reminder about Moscow’s role in the 2016 operation targeting our elections. And yet, here we are.

The real Trump action is in the residence. Michael_Novakhov shared this story . President Barack Obama routinely returned to the residence each night by early evening for dinners with his family and often worked later into night from the private office in the residence known as the Treaty Room. The White House residence offers its own living room, study and the Yellow Oval Room for grander entertaining — in addition to the bedrooms, kitchen, dining and dressing rooms. Over 90 people work in the White House residence, both serving the president and his family as well as helping to throw hundreds of events each year for visitors. For Trump, moving to Washington has meant re-calibrating his New York routine, where he also lived and worked in the same Trump Tower building. Now he tends to go to the Oval Office and adjacent private dining room for five to six hours a day for formal meetings, lunches and ceremonial events, current and former administration officials say. But the bulk of his work in the mornings, late afternoons, evenings and weekends happens in his private quarters where Trump can call staff and advisers as early as 6 a.m. and up to midnight. Sometimes he or one of his aides will summon a senior staffer to the residence for an informal discussion or quick meeting to review a speech. He also uses it during working hours as a place to watch TV freely, tweet and serve as own his one-man communications director and political strategist. The residence serves like a bunker for his impeachment response and his real-time reaction to testimony, witnesses and public hearings. Critics of Trump’s reliance on the residence as a place of business argue it can help to obscure official work and visitors. Calls he places or receives from landlines, unless they are following national security protocols, go out through the White House operator; only Trump and the operator generally know exactly who he has talked to in the last 24 hours. Trump also has long been known to rely on his cellphone for calls, avoiding the White House staff. The White House press office did not respond to a request for comment. A third former senior administration official insisted Trump’s heavy use of the residence was “not an attempt on the president’s part to hide things. He is a workaholic, so he wakes up early and works out of the residence. It’s just the way his internal work clock has been for decades,” the official said. Trump also loves to open up parts of the private residence to special guests, personally taking them on tours of the Lincoln Bedroom where he’ll show off a copy of the Gettysburg Address. It’s a party trick he deployed in an attempt to wow German Chancellor Angela Merkel and a move he uses with a wide array of other White House visitors. Once, Trump invited all the attendees at a September 2017 dinner for the White House Historical Association up to the second floor and ushered them into the Lincoln Bedroom. “He talked about the room and Lincoln’s office. He pointed out documents,” said Martha Joynt Kumar, director of the White House Transition Project who attended the dinner that night. “He‘s very enthusiastic about the room and living in the White House itself.” Michael Novakhov - SharedNewsLinks℠ Michael Novakhov - SharedNewsLinks℠: "Trump" – Google News: New emails tee-up another week in the House impeachment inquiry into Trump – CNN | Trump and Trumpism – Review Of News And Opinions Michael_Novakhov shared this story from Trump and Trumpism – Review Of News And Opinions.

His wife was not among those awarded damages because the particular law through which the claims were made extended to family members who were United States citizens and she was not a citizen at the time the lawsuit was filed, Mr. Rezaian’s lawyer, David W. Bowker, said. Mr. Rezaian’s brother Ali spearheaded a campaign to get Mr. Rezaian released that consumed his life and cost him about $300,000 in flights, legal expenses and other related costs. Their mother, Mary, had her life uprooted and suffered emotional distress over her son’s treatment, the judge wrote. Mr. Bowker said that Mr. Rezaian’s detention and abuse were “a totally traumatic thing that will be with him for the rest of his life.” “Given what he has been through, he and the family are doing remarkably well and are determined to move ahead with their lives,” he said. The judge’s order was a default judgment that came after the plaintiffs submitted expert evidence and testified in a full trial. The Iranian government put on no defense, Mr. Bowker said. A spokesman for the Iranian government did not return a phone message and email requesting comment on Friday night. While it is highly unlikely that Iran would pay any damages, they could be paid from a fund established by Congress in 2015 to pay victims of terrorism, Mr. Bowker said. The fund, which has paid out more than $2 billion, was initially created with a federal appropriation and has since been augmented with money collected in sanctions, he said. Mr. Rezaian is back working full time at The Post, where he is a global opinions writer. “Our only focus at The Post has been on what was taken away from Jason, which was 544 days of his freedom,” The Post’s executive editor, Marty Baron, said in a statement on Friday night. “His imprisonment and that of his wife Yeganeh were wholly unjustified, and his treatment in one of Iran’s worst prisons was horrifying.” Michael Novakhov - SharedNewsLinks℠ Michael Novakhov - SharedNewsLinks℠: The Early Edition: November 25, 2019 Michael_Novakhov shared this story from Just Security.

Here’s today’s news.   THE NAVY Navy Secretary Richard Spencer resigned yesterday at Defense Secretary Mark Esper’s request after Esper “lost trust and confidence” in him over his handling of the case of a Navy SEAL officer accused of war crimes in Iraq who later won the support of President Trump. Esper said in a statement yesterday that he was “deeply troubled” by reports that Spencer had met with White House officials and privately offered to allow the sailor in question, Chief Petty Officer Edward Gallagher, to retire at his current rank if they did not interfere with proceedings against Gallagher that could have ousted him from the elite force, even as Spencer pushed both publicly and with Pentagon officials for a disciplinary hearing. Esper has ordered that Gallagher remain a SEAL, Ashley Parker and Dan Lamothe report at the Washington Post.
