Oleg Deripaska could be a target of Durham’s spygate probe
SOURCE — NBC NEWS
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.
Deripaska is a billionaire oil tycoon with close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin. He was among two dozen Russian oligarchs and officials who were sanctioned by the Treasury Department in April 2018.
A press release announcing the sanctions said Deripaska has been investigated for money laundering and accused of “threatening the lives of business rivals, illegally wiretapping a government official, and taking part in extortion and racketeering.”
He sued the U.S. over the sanctions, but a federal court judge dismissed the case in June.
NBC News reported in 2018 that Deripaska had been repeatedly denied a visa to enter the United States over his alleged ties to organized crime. But the Russian government had recently given Deripaska diplomatic status, allowing him to enter the country with immunity, several current and former U.S. officials said at the time.
Bingo! Durham is investigating the FBI why would be employ them to investigate anything. Respectable sources I follow on Twitter indicate Durham has historically used Postal Inspectors or DOJ IG investigators. This raid appears to be an attempt to either muddy the water for Durham or serve as a not so subtle shot across the bow.
The swamp is the swamp.
The FBI could be after Deripaska for a range of actual crimes, but I suspect the purpose is to prevent him from cooperating with Durham and/or seize any evidence that would help Durham’s investigation (such as evidence of communications with Alan Waldman and Mark Warner) thereby deep sixing it forever.
Yep! They raided his home to destroy the evidence. Swamp helping a swamp creature....That is all move along nothing to see here.
You NAILED it,....I THINK
Just practicing for next week:
“Oleg Deripaska did not kill himself.”
Quickly, Oleg, save yourself. Condemn Trump
HA! You beat me to it.

“Don’t think the FBI is actually doing their JOB, I suspect they are covering up their own involvement with Deripaska over the Russia Hoax scam...he was Steele’s primary source of info, the FBI knew it.”
So...it seems that the FBI, DNC, and Hillary campaign colluded with the Russians. Now they have to cover it up.
Poorly phrased. The article no doubt means diplomatic passport, but not actual diplomatic status.
The big guy’s 10% was late…
Biden is a crook as is obama and the clintons.
Where is the swarm?
He came in over the Texas-Mexico border?
Yes. Met with Soros at times. Was involved in the Levinson case, etc.
He is one of Steele’s sources for that kind of material.
Oleg met frequently with the oligarch Soros.
It is SOP for defense lawyers when tshtf is to try to get out in front of the story. To that end they seek out friendly PR for their clients. Hence, the choice of Stephanopoulos.
.
Yes!
Precisely! Media always persuading viewers, or making heroes (Fauci)

The media sells Oleg as part of Manafort’s Russian connection.
That’s Solitary confinement, Must-Die Paul Manafort.
Why did they want Manafort? They wanted him to create some stories that would implicate Trump. He was only a vehicle to get Trump.
I perceive we see this Oleg movement differently. Consider their interest in Oleg as being only a vehicle to get to Trump.
That’s the same, continued push of the FBi / DoJ Peter Strzok, Yates, Comey, Page, Moffa, Pientka, Steven Somma, Ohr, etc. carried.
