Did FBI and CIA have an agent provocateur to entrap the Trump Organization in a Russia deal?
American Thinker ^ | September 19, 2019 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 09/19/2019 5:57:55 PM PDT by Mount Athos

Judicial Watch is hot on the trail of a potentially explosive revelation: that an agent who had previously worked for the FBI and CIA as an informant actively tried to set up a business deal between the Trump Organization and Russian interests, in order to implicate Trump with “collusion.”

Sater reportedly "began working with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 1998, after he was caught in a stock-fraud scheme." It was Andrew Weissmann who, as supervising assistant U.S. attorney, signed the agreement that brought Sater on as a government informant. Federal prosecutors wrote a letter to Sater's sentencing judge on August 27, 2009, in an effort to get him a lighter sentence: "Sater's cooperation was of a depth and breadth rarely seen." Sater also was reportedly a CIA informant in the mid-2000s for the CIA during his undercover work with Russian military and intelligence officers.

...

The Mueller report mentions Sater more than 100 times but fails to mention that he was an active undercover informant for the FBI/CIA for more than two decades.

...

Beginning in late 2015, Sater repeatedly tried to arrange for [Trump attorney Michael] Cohen and candidate Trump, as representatives of the Trump Organization, to travel to Russia to meet with Russian government officials and possible financing partners.

Though his proposal appears to have been rejected by the Trump campaign, Sater persisted. "Into the spring of 2016," the Mueller Report notes, "Sater and Cohen continued to discuss a trip to Moscow." Sater emails Cohen that he is trying to arrange a meeting between "the 2 big guys," Putin and Trump.

Sater’s re-emergence "suggests the possibility of a more sinister counter-narrative: that someone may have been trying to lure Trump into a trap--a politically damaging entanglement with Moscow money," Morrison wrote.

“The Mueller report mentions Sater more than 100 times but fails to mention that he was an active undercover informant for the FBI/CIA for more than two decades.”

Oopsie. Just a little oversight. I guess it wasn’t important to mention that.

How many other such “oversights” are in Mueller’s corrupt report?

The mighty odongo, along with his evil ilk, weaponized and politicized the DOJ & FBi to undermine a duly elected POTUS. They should ALL be in GITMO...better yet, doing a rope dance on national TV for all to see.

The planning of this anti-Trump conspiracy is quite intricate, and involved many agents, and many attempts at entrapment. Can’t do that without great planning

Who was the puppet master?

Both agencies are a corrupt mess and need to be disbanded.

Right. They don’t get to the top unless they hone their skills at entrapment, witness intimidation, parallel construction, withholding exculpatory evidence and fabrication of evidence.

Total police state garbage.

And who was recruited by the CYA right out of high school? Bill Barr.

And who was first made AG by ex-CYA Director, Mr. NWO Bush? Bill Barr.

And who defended pro bono the assassin of Vicki Weaver at Ruby Ridge? Bill Barr.

(I do not assume your attitude toward Barr matches mine, but I consider his Federal history entirely against him.)

Entrapment is not unheard of with FBI/DOJ activities.

The sinister part of this story is the Obama FBI/DOJ was using the methods as tools against a domestic political enemy.

Did not know that. It sure makes a lot more stuff make sense though.

It may not match it, but I have low expectations and little faith that he will do most of what he should do.

And thanks for the information on the Weaver thing. I was unaware.
