Trump Jr. and Other Aides Met With Gulf Emissary Offering Help to Win Election

WASHINGTON — Three months before the 2016 election, a small group gathered at Trump Tower to meet with Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son. One was an Israeli specialist in social media manipulation. Another was an emissary for two wealthy Arab princes. The third was a Republican donor with a controversial past in the Middle East as a private security contractor.

The meeting was convened primarily to offer help to the Trump team, and it forged relationships between the men and Trump insiders that would develop over the coming months — past the election and well into President Trump’s first year in office, according to several people with knowledge of their encounters.

Erik Prince, the private security contractor and the former head of Blackwater, arranged the meeting, which took place on Aug. 3, 2016. The emissary, George Nader, told Donald Trump Jr. that the crown princes who led Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates were eager to help his father win election as president. The social media specialist, Joel Zamel, extolled his company’s ability to give an edge to a political campaign; by that time, the firm had already drawn up a multimillion-dollar proposal for a social media manipulation effort to help elect Mr. Trump.

The company, which employed several Israeli former intelligence officers, specialized in collecting information and shaping opinion through social media.

A lawyer for Donald Trump Jr., Alan Futerfas, said in a statement that “prior to the 2016 election, Donald Trump Jr. recalls a meeting with Erik Prince, George Nader and another individual who may be Joel Zamel. They pitched Mr. Trump Jr. on a social media platform or marketing strategy. He was not interested and that was the end of it.”

It’s amazing how these journalists know what took place at a private meeting that they did not attend.

The Reality!!

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2018/05/code_red_the_coming_eruption.html

“...The IG report is the next big explosion. It’s quite clear the Mueller appointment is not what the left hoped. He’s either a smokescreen for something else, or another opponent Trump has destroyed. Mueller’s position has unraveled before the eyes of the public. Even without the leftist media reporting on these horrifying bureaucratic shenanigans, the American public, well over half believe Obama wrongfully spied on Trump.

The enemedia loves Mueller. Their chips are all in.

And he has nothing.

Pathetic nothing.

His indictments are beyond inconsequential, they have nothing to do with Trump.

No indictment is coming.

No report of collusion by Trump is forthcoming.

What he has about Trump won’t fill a sentence in a leftist slanted history book.

You’d think they’d notice.

Trump knows all this. He knows who the bad guys are, and how bad they were. He’s got the goods on all of them. #Obamagate: How an arrogant group of narcissists thought they were so smart, they could force a corrupt, greedy woman on us, and when that failed, undo a sitting President.

The coup self-aborted. The ever-increasing lava-spewing by the MSM will no longer help them. I am surmising there are players who have turned to plea bargaining and have spilled the truth out. I am thinking that all of them are going to start jumping ship like the rats they are, beginning with the IG report. There’s going to be Hell to pay. The public will hear the IG report.

And that is only the beginning. If you don’t think there is judgment on the horizon for Trump’s enemies, or that he’s really not doing anything to line the ducks up to take them down, you haven’t been watching. Remember: Melania’s surgery was scheduled for months, with no leaks.

Trump never reveals what he’s doing. Witness Korea. He has a plan for this lawbreaking. Stop pretending he and Sessions are doing nothing. It’s not only working. It’s about to blow.

Code Red for the left. Worst cognitive dissonance ever. They have no clue what is about to hit them...”

So, the MSM will now dutifully report on each and every foreign person who ever met with anyone associated with Clinton, offering to help her and her campaign and/or Foundation???

Yeah, right.

They could have released this story at any time.

That they chose to do this now means Mueller & co are actually feeling some heat and they need something to distract with.

Trump's enemies are the enemies of America, and the law abiding citizens who live here. I hope that besides the group of Obama minions, there will be legal ramifications for members of the news media who colluded with the Deep State to commit treason.

***********************************************************
And they’ll also report on the interference with elections in other countries such as Israel to oust BiBi? Will they also report on the number of countries were toppled by HRC et al, and what happened to that country’s treasury?

Chances are slim to none are they not?

Obama spent American tax dollars in an attempt to defeat Netanyahu in an Israeli election. Netanyahu refuses to discuss the plot but it is doubtful that he has forgotten or forgiven.

The Clintons criminal MO--Secy of State Hillary using the Clinton Foundation to manipulate US foreign policy for money......Arab nations loom large.

LEGEND-—Donation to Clinton Foundation/Global Initiative (CGI)-—followed by State Dept favor granted in return.

<><> Prince of Abu Dhabi and Foreign Minister of the United Arab Emirates Shaikh Abdullah bin Zayed al Nahayan and the Al Nahayan family of Abu Dhabi. <$5,000,000 Access to HRC at State Dept. and a $500,000 environmental speech by Bill Clinton given at the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi while HRC was meeting in Washington with Shaikh Abdullah.

<><> Algeria <$500,000 State Dept clearance for U.S. arms sales to Algeria. Deal included biological and chemical agents.

<><>Australia, Commonwealth of <$75,000,000 Strong State Dept. for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which stands to be a boon for Australian multinational firms.

<><>Bahrain, Kingdom of <$250,000 Muted criticism by State of Bahrain’s abysmal human rights practices.

<><>Boeing Corp.<$900,000 State Dept. clearance for $29 billion arms U.S. arms sale to Saudi Arabia, including Boeing’s F-15 fighter.

<><>Brunei Darussalam, Sultanate of < $5,000,000 State Dept. clearance for U.S. weapons sales to Brunei.

<><>Cameroon, Republic of <$100,000 Influence buying by the Cameroon government with the Clinton State Department.

<><>Canada $500,000 donation for State Dept support for Canada’s Keystone XL pipeline, eventually vetoed by Barack Obama (guess his cut wasnt big enough).

<><> Chagoury Group <$5,000,000 in cash and a $1,000,000,000 pledge HRC delayed designating Nigeria’s Boko Haram as a foreign terrorist organization because of Chagoury Group’s investments and operations in Nigeria. Chagoury Group received the “Sustainable Development Award” from the CGI. Chagooury helped the family of Nigerian dictator Sani Abacha hide his wealth stolen from Nigeria’s oil revenues.

<><> Confederation of Indian Industry <$1,000,000 Access for Indian businesses to U.S. government officials.

=======================================

NOTE WELL---In addition to the Clinton Global Initiative, there are separate Clinton family foundations that maintain their own revenue streams.

All these entities maintain separate operations for the Clintons’ pay-to-play global racketeering operations:

<><>the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI),

<><>the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton (BHCC) Foundation,

<><>the Clinton Foundation Hong Kong,

<><> William J. Clinton Foundation Charitable Trust (Kenya),

<><>William J. Clinton Foundation Charitable Trust (UK),

<><> the Clinton Foundation Insalingsstiftelse (Sweden).

<><> the Clinton/Guistra Partnership, Canada.

ANALYSIS---This is plus-perfect evidence that the Clintons operated the foundation as a shadow government, setting up the foreign policy machinery.

The Clintons separated these entities from large amounts of money b/c they had a carrot on a stick-——”sure-thing Hillary’s” election to the presidency.

You live in a reality completely devoid of facts. It’s wishful thinking. For starters, sessions is exactly what he appears to be, a rat bastard traitor. There was more then enough to unravel what was going on well over a year ago. The doj/fbi, congress nor the courts have any desire to see the actual truth or justice done for what has already been perpetrated and is still going on. Save a couple of honest judges that really can do no more then question the obvious unjust actions of all these actors. The scope of the corruption is so eminence, that they have lost partial containment. But the congress and msm are still covering for them. Just look at what they are now asking us to accept as normal, using the full capability of US intelligence resources to spy on a presidential candidate. As if this is normal and a good thing for democracy. Then you have people who believe it hook, line and sinker. Even worse you have people who believe this is all some kind of 4D chess that the white hats are playing. Wake-up, things are exactly as they seem!

Meanwhile, in Mexico, Consulates all scattered around the USA were encouraging their citizens to go VOTE and pull the LEVER straight vote Democratic. I KNOW PERSONALLY, I saw in voting booths in California, and people were told how to vote being prompted by helpers... I sweat to tell the truth. It was in Palm Village, Reedly, California, a senior citizen home. One of the older ladies was upset that their wasn;t a TEA PARTY political straight vote party to pull her lever.

From this Carlos Slim Blog Article: “It is unclear whether such a proposal was executed“

Stopped there. Waste of pixels.

How'zabout looking into this?

NYAG sex deviant Eric Schneiderman (kicked out of office) aided and abetted the Clinton's lawlessness,
enabling the Clintons to falsify official Foundation records WRT foreign donations.

(Smirk) Obama supposedly "banned" foreign countries donating while
Clinton was Secy of State. BTW, Obama signed off on the arms deals.

==============================

Starting in July 2016, the Dallas office of the IRS finally began an investigation into Clinton Foundation public filings, prodded by Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and other congressional Republicans. Missing disclosures concerning donations from foreign governments, and other glaring discrepancies, should have been resolved and should have triggered payment of substantial fines, penalties, and interest to government treasuries long ago. Supposedly, the FBI has been investigating the Clinton Foundation for over a year and a half. Nothing has happened. Donors to The Clinton Foundation) got lucrative Hillary/Obama State Dept arms deals.
