John Solomons report on the FBI contacting Oleg Deripaska in September 2016 for help to structure a narrative of Russian involvement in the Trump Campaign via Paul Manafort has multiple ramifications. (Article Here) Heres some preliminary thoughts on the issue.
♦In 2009 the FBI, then headed by Robert Mueller, requested the assistance of Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska in an operation to retrieve former FBI officer and CIA resource Robert Levinson who was captured in Iran two years earlier. The agent assigned to engage Deripaska was Andrew McCabe; the primary FBI need was financing and operational support. Deripaska spent around $25 million and would have succeeded except the U.S. State Department, then headed by Hillary Clinton, backed out.
♦In September of 2016 Andrew McCabe is now Deputy Director of the FBI, when two FBI agents approached Deripaska in New York again asking for his help. This time the FBI request was for Deripaska to outline Trumps former campaign manager Paul Manafort as a tool of the Kremlin. Deripaska once hired Manafort as a political adviser and invested money with him in a business venture that went bad. Deripaska sued Manafort, alleging he stole money. However, according to the article, despite Deripaskas disposition toward Manafort he viewed the request as absurd. He laughed the FBI away, telling them: You are trying to create something out of nothing.

Russian collusion!
McCabe + Russian Oligarchs.
Classic democrat tactic. Accuse your opposition of doing whatever you are really doing yourself. They are pretty much one trick ponies.
the Alinsky way!
How are these folks “attached” to this structure? A rope around the ankles? Who are these people? Any idea?
You got to wonder what they had on Jeff Sessions to make him recuse himself. You got to wonder who really does the “opposition research for the Democratic Party?” I think it may be the NSA,CIA, FBI. The one line of questioning not yet out is if Obama or one of his close henchmen(women) ask British Intelligence for help in framing Trump. I actually expect that happened, but for “national security reasons,” will never be admitted.
Congress needs to ask Deripaska to testify on Capitol Hill ASAP.
Looks like they’re tied, and the link in the photo properties include the words “Death of Mussolini,” for whatever that’s worth.
Life of Hemingway.
Mussolini and his crew.
Look at Him at left, rope around the ankles and up to top of beam.

OK, thanks. Did not see a caption. Can “properties” be checked if using a cell phone?
Thank you. Now I see the rope. Tired old eyes here.

No idea. Probably not. :)
