Russian Lawyer Reportedly Offered Dirt On DNC Just Days Before Document Dump
Daily Caller ^ | 07/14/2017 | CHUCK ROSS

Posted on 07/14/2017 11:10:20 AM PDT by HokieMom

A former Soviet military intelligence officer told the Associated Press on Friday that a Russian lawyer he accompanied to a June 9, 2016, meeting at Trump Tower offered to provide information about illicit financial activity carried out by the Democratic National Committee. Nine days later, on June 18, Guccifer 2.0, the hacker believed to be a front for Russian spy agencies, dropped a bombshell.

“NEW DOCS FROM DNC NETWORK: LOTS OF FINANCIAL REPORTS AND DONORS’ PERSONAL DATA,” was the headline plastered across the Guccifer 2.0 website.

This might be a more impressive story if the Russian lawyer actually HAD offered actual dirt, of any kind, about the DNC. In fact she claimed to offer dirt but didn’t have any, at all. So why does the document dump matter?

Can we prove she didn’t offer any? The swamp will go crazy over this. The story just won’t die and I think for the most part the whole thing is either a set up or made up.

After all the outright treason committed by Clinton and Obama...this is just mind boggling. I suppose they’re afraid if they don’t take out Trump that they might end up like Hillary said “ “If that f - - - ing bastard wins, we all hang from nooses!”

And that is what is going to happen, things are being lined up behind the scenes and when things start flowing there is going to be a flood and the dems and the crooks are going down the drain...I say about July 27 or after...

G2 is just a cover story for the Seth Rich Eric Braverman leak that showed the DNC cheating for Hildabeast in the primaries.

Looks like Donald Jr email dump has forced the premature release of a Trump take down smear campaign and gutted it's impact.

Good for Donald Jr

The premature release seems to have blunted the roll and made it uncoordinated and fragmented. Wonder what they were waiting for to tie it to.

On the other hand, this really helps the Trump counteroffensive and has had the immediate effect of having the co founder of the anti Trump dirty tricks shop Fusion GPS,Glenn Simpson, abruptly cancel his scheduled testimony to the Senate Judiciary over the unexpected disclosure of Fusions employment of Natalia Veselnitskaya.

I see the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution being prominent in Mr Simpson's near term future.

Picture this; DNC knows it has been hacked and it was an insider (Seth Rich?), how can we blame this on Trump and take the heat off ourselves? Let's set the groundwork for a claim that Trump worked with the Russians to facilitate the hack and undermine the election. The meeting is the important thing, not what happened at the meeting - just the fact that it happened. They set up the meeting (it is already known that the Russian lawyer has connections with Democrats and is anti-Trump based on social media accounts). They push the meme that there was collaboration with the Russians, having the evidence of the meeting in their back pockets to spring at the right moment. The Russian meme starts to die peter off due to lack of ANY evidence, so time to spring the info on the meeting to bring the meme back to life.

In the context of the "damaging information about Hillary Clinton" theme this week, this story doesn't even make any sense.

Damaging information about Hillary Clinton might be valuable to a competitor's campaign, but information about "illicit activities of the DNC" are worthless unless they are turned over to law enforcement and result in criminal prosecution.

Am I missing something here?

DNC Financial Finagling----my reading from the getgo.

REFERENCE Awan Brothers, House Dem IT Suspects,
Demanded Untraceable Payments — Millions Disappeared

SOURCE http://truepundit.com/awan-brothers-house-dem-it-suspects-wanted-untraceable-payments-and-sure-enough-millions-disappeared/

EXCERPT---Cristal Perpignan, a former Awan renter, said Imran instructed her to pay the rent to Imran’s friend, Rao Abbas, who lived in the basement of the home she occupied at the time Abbas was on the House tax-paid payroll as an IT worker.

Perpignan said Abbas spent his days at home.

Imran’s wife purchased the home in 2008 for $470,000. A second mortgage was taken out in 2012, and — at least on paper — it was sold to Imran’s 22-year old brother Jamal in November 2016 for $620,000 — $43,000 more than its assessed value.

All but five percent of Jamal’s purchase, $589,000, was financed by the bank, according to records reviewed by TheDCNF. This means the transaction netted the family $119,000 of the bank’s money even as the house remained a rental property, without the ownership ever leaving the family.

According to Wells Fargo, people can’t use a standard mortgage for a rental property. The bank must be told of the intent to use the property as a rental, and the applicant generally is required to make a 20 percent down payment. There are no notes in property records that it was not an arms-length sale. __SNIP--rest on FR

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

POINTS TO PONDER: The clan's humongous federal salaries and other financial sleight of hand......using real estate and car dealerships made millions disappear missing .......could have used the DNC as the money-laundering apparat to:

<><> payoff Debbie Wassermann Schultz

<><> other "I know nothing" Democrats.....

<><> DNC laundered as Democrat campaign donations,

<><> DNC facilitated kickbacks, payoffs for supplying classified intel, and the like.

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

Democrat Debbie Wasserman Schultz seems to have lost all sense of history; her short-term memory and her long-term memory appear to be defunct.

<><> DNC Debbie single-handedly aided and abetted the Awan clan's massive breach of US security on Capitol Hill....in more ways than one.

<><> Significantly DNC Debbie facilitated the clan getting security clearances. Never did it enter stupid Debbie's braindead mind that Muslim Pakistani nationals were more than office help?

<><>At the DNC, Schultz masterminded the clan's remuneration package----making sure they got paid handsomely---pocketing some 5 million tax dollars as they toiled to undermine Americans' safety and security.

<><> The clan's grotesque compensation package under Schultz's DNC leadership is certainly suspicious. Might involve wire-transfer fraud, mail fraud, theft, kickbacks, money laundering and tax evasion.

<><> Schultz's former IT staffer is still listed as her "advisor."

<><> The Pakistani nationals under scrutiny by Capitol Police have since fled the country.

<><> More egregiously, the Pakistanis' ability to get State Dept visas while under criminal scrutiny is a subject of speculation.....and may involve then-Secy Hillary Clinton and then-Pres Obama.

The source, Rinat Akhmetshin, was 23 years old when the SU collapsed. Whether he was ever a Soviet Counter-Intelligence officer is disputed. Akhmetshin is a DC lobbyist and sometime operator of a front organization called Human Rights Accountability Global Initiative Foundation (reportedly it has a website with no content, a ghost address, and a donation button to nowhere). He has also been said to be connected to GPS Fusion, the dirty-tricks squad behind the Trump pee-dossier, and thought by some to be involved in setting up DT Jr for this meeting. His mere presence at the meeting (I’m not sure he was invited or expected, but just showed up with Natalia Veselnitskaia) suggests he is a player in this tangled web. Recommend treating anything he says with caution.

It was a set up from the start..but Donald Trump Jr doesn’t make it easy on himself not acknowledging everyone in the room, maybe he just didnt remember I mean it was last June heck yesterday is a blur to me..but this entire thing was a set up from the start..the emails were hacked in May, if they were in collusion what was the point of the June meeting so the whole “Collusion” nonsense makes NO sense..and really, what collusion did we find out, that the DNC are a bunch of pricks..notice they dont deny the emails are legit

The DNC server was hacked in May...

And 17 agencies turned into 3...there was no hack. Even

59

Wasserman Schultz...said the DNC was never even made aware that their network had been compromised.

BTW, this is a tacit admission that any breach had to have actually been a leak, not a hack.

The problem is that the email that invited Don Jr. to the meeting explicitly said that the invitation was being sent because of the Russian Government’s support of Trump. That sentence seems like a red flag to me — if they really were cooperating they wouldn’t have said that. But it’s not just a case of Don Jr. looking for dirt on Hillary. The problem is the explicit claim in the invitation that the Russian Government was supporting Trump and the fact that Don Jr. didn’t back away when he saw that.

See 16. There was no hack and an insider breach, as you suggest, is a leak.

Confusion of the two doesn't help.

And Jeff ‘The Church Mouse’ Sessions is out arresting Doctors for writing drug prescriptions, which will lead to every doctor being scared to death to write you a legit prescription for pain killers. Good Job Jeffery!
