benalvino3: Perhaps, you have to take away from this the notion that people can plead guilty depending on the circumstance they find themselves in. sometimes they are innocent, sometimes they are not.
benalvino3: they cannot be at the receiving end if all these entities are on their side. Facebook, Twitter, etc. the FBI was still trying to screw trump when Republicans and Trump control a lot. it's not easy. Raumdeuter and ono were saying when republicans are in power they should go after Hunter and others. That's not how it should work or be. FBI and other institutions should not be active based on the direction of a president. Na dictatorship.
One would think firing Comey will change a lot. that's not the case because the rabbit hole is very deep. you know how there were leaks here and there even in his white house, many people he appointed were there to hurt him. Even the First Lady's special aide did her own part. a lot of these people don't concern about the FBI, but you know what I mean and how the Country is. From Big tech to Media, from Media, to schools, from schools to Hospitals. all these institutions have an agenda that will easily make them shut down any revolting voice.
Trump did not start any war. The people against him have captured media and big tech I think they profit from wars. 24/7 against Trump. Unprecedented. Right now they are doing everything to prevent Trump from running.
Democrats I also think rigged elections blatantly With COVID lockdowns and vaccine nonsense they have figured out how to control the population For instance (my pet subject) they have convinced the masses that men can get pregnant. They have convinced the masses that opposing Jill Biden senile husband is a punishable offence They have convinced the masses that Trump is a criminal. What else will they not do.They have total control of media and big tech They forced us to get vaccinated from a vaccine that does not work, banned any drugs that reversed COVID, renamed COVID from Wuhan to COVID In other words these people are purely simply evil And their intentions are unknown
benalvino3: Liz Cheney is a republican... so that means she cannot be Anti-trump Right? He appointed Wray does not change what we are seeing. you can call it a mistake. the Director was working under James Comey, Was a bush guy. Trump nominating him does not mean everything is all good. Except you don't believe your eyes.
The left forget that one day they will be out of power and will be on the receiving end. Brian Stelter Reliable Sources has been cancelled by CNN by the way. He is a rumor monger
sanpipita: It's good, let the GOP civil war continue, most them used to back Trump today they are his victims, that will be fate of Republican party sooner or later.
Obama united the democrats They all hate American values
ono: Bas, Ben, Raum, others I just watched Devin Nunes and Kash Patel shed light on what's going on - as per Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence raid.
You guys know that this Biden admin is basically a continuation of the Obama presidency. And so, the key players who hatched the Russia collusion hoax - the entire Russiagate saga, the fake FISA warrant, Kevin Klinesmith, James Comey, spying on Trump campaign, Impeachment hoaxes, etc etc -they're all back at the White House, doing what they know best - spinning all manner of narratives - with them back in power now, and "hiring" new sets of Peter Strokz, Lisa page, Mueller, etc etc - of this world to further their attacks on Donald Trump. This is done again this time, as with what happened in 2015/2016, with the active collusion of the fake Mainstream media.
I am talking about no other than the likes of Jake Sullivan, Susan Rice, Lisa Monaco, etc etc. These guys are back in power at the White House pulling the strings and going after "Russia Agent Trump" - like some set of sick psychopaths.
If you look at things from this angle, you'd then understand that the raid of Trump's residence was carried out with the active support and knowledge of this Biden's White House, and if you don't see things from this angle, then you're probably living under a rock!
But, just like Trump was vindicated, and the truth brought to the fore - for all to see (except for the likes of Obrifaggot, Jimeta and others), this whole "show" of shame by the demonRats will end up exposing them further for who they truly are - traitors and destroyers of anything good!
Democrats are basically evil people. they control the media and big tech. The media control helps them to push any crazy lie. A man can get pregnant., The economy is at its best ever, Putin elected Trump etc Media is the main problem in my opinion.
ono: Cool, you need to leave these people for a while. Telling them what's fact and truthful is like wasting precious oxygen on a dead body. It's useless.
fbi is fsb or stasi equivalent. some fools here have never heard of the orgs>> All they know is orange man bad
Obrigardo: Those pictures of Criminal trump getting cuddly with pedophile jeff epstein truly gives ono, basilico, zendi, ben and other maga cultists the bitter stomach coz everytime they are face to face with it, their unshakable faith in the Criminal trump gets tested to the core, their non existent morality gets called into question and they find out how stinky their self righteousness have been so far. These people will be very ashamed very soon, I can't wait to celebrate and drink their tears
Sicko you must be a broke arsehole. Trump had to know Epstein who was a member of his club in Florida. Trump later banned him from all his clubs after he hit on an underage girl.
Epstein has photos with Bill Gates for instance who used to visit his house. Also Bill Clinton who is documented on having flown in his plane Lolita express ( Lolita means young nubile gal) and to his island at least 27 times.
Obrigardo: How long will Criminal trump think the lie about FBI planting documents will stick? Does he think it's the same lie as the election was stolen? Oh God this criminal is the dumbest fvck ever to exist.
I rear some few domestic chicken which I let out to go forage . sometimes I find them 500 meters from home. By dusk they are all back. I also have two cows that I let out go look for look for grass, Plus some dog that follows them. By evening they are all back. They seem intelligent .
EnlightenedUFO: The Criminal is just criming to see how much we can handle, like he tops his crimes with the most grandest one to see when the dam will break
I rear some few domestic chicken which I let out to go forage . sometimes I find them 500 meters from home. By dusk they are all back. They seem intelligent . More than you,
EnlightenedUFO: How does that obfuscate the fact that the former president Criminal trump stole Nuclear documents, highly classified and then broke the Presidential Records act? Don't lose sight of that, ok?
Where u got that ?. Clinton sent a suit to the drycleaner with the nuclear codes in the pockets, Trump had been in comms with the Archive, The raid was to totally unnecessary because he was ready to hand over anything they wanted, Dont be brainwashed by the media., My rallying call for many years
EnlightenedUFO: There's this proverb about a rabbit who kept digging down the rabbit hole and felt too proud of itself which alerted the Fox to wait for it at the end...
this man tom barrack not to confuse with Barack Obama, is still on ankle monitors. ..............................................
Trump Adviser Tom Barrack Pushed for Saudi Nuclear Deal — and Planned to Profit From It
Documents released by a congressional committee reveal Barrack’s plan to team up with Arab princes to buy a U.S. nuclear company. Federal prosecutors are investigating foreign influence.
President Donald Trump’s inauguration chairman, Tom Barrack, lobbied the new administration to share nuclear power technology with Saudi Arabia while, at the same time, making plans to team up with the Saudis to buy a company that would benefit from the policy change, according to documents obtained by a House committee.
During the campaign, Barrack advised Trump on the Middle East, where he has long-standing business relationships. As Trump clinched the Republican nomination in 2016, Barrack shared a draft of a policy speech with a businessman from the United Arab Emirates, according to text messages quoted in the committee’s report. The businessman then consulted with unspecified others and suggested adding a paragraph praising the powerful princes of Saudi Arabia and the UAE, the text messages show.
Barrack incorporated the suggested language and sent a new draft to campaign chairman Paul Manafort, according to the report. In an email, Barrack seemed to suggest he knew he was entering an ethical or legal gray area: “This is probably as close as I can get without crossing a lot of lines,” he said.
On the day of the speech, Manafort sent Barrack a final draft, saying, “It has the language you want.”
The Democratic staff of the House Oversight Committee said the documents it received — 60,000 pages from various private companies — do not show whether candidate Trump was aware that his speech had been circulated to at least one foreign official. The report also does not indicate why Barrack wanted foreign input on the speech.
But Barrack, a billionaire investor, went on to pursue a lucrative deal based on the Trump administration’s Middle East policy, a policy that he was helping to shape.
Barrack’s plan, according to the documents, was for his firm and other U.S. investors to join with Saudi Arabia and the UAE to buy Westinghouse, the struggling U.S. manufacturer of nuclear reactors. At the same time, Barrack used his access to the White House to urge top officials to give Westinghouse permission to sell as many as 30 nuclear reactors to Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
When Westinghouse went to a different buyer, Barrack sought a $50 million stake, according to the documents. The Trump administration is still considering whether to allow Westinghouse to sell reactors to Saudi Arabia — an idea opposed by nonproliferation experts and lawmakers from both parties who fear the kingdom could repurpose the technology to build a nuclear bomb.
Barrack’s role in the proposed Saudi nuclear deal is now part of a federal investigation into illegal foreign lobbying, The New York Times reported on Sunday. Prosecutors have questioned Barrack in the probe, which arose from special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation and was referred to the U.S. attorney’s office in Brooklyn, according to the Times.
Barrack’s spokesman said he cooperated with and provided documents to the House committee. “Barrack’s engagement in investment and business development throughout the Middle East for the purpose of better aligned Middle East and U.S. objectives are well known,” the spokesman said in a statement. “Barrack’s consistent attempts to bridge the divide of tolerance and understanding between these two great cultures is etched in the annals of time.”
A spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office declined to comment.
Federal law requires anyone working to influence U.S. policy on behalf of foreign governments to report their activities to the Justice Department. Manafort, deputy campaign manager Rick Gates and ex-national security adviser Michael Flynn all admitted to violating this law. Barrack did not file any disclosures about his contacts with the Saudis and Emiratis while he was helping to shape Trump’s policies toward the region.
When ProPublica interviewed Barrack in 2017, he acknowledged an interest in investing in Westinghouse, saying, “Westinghouse in bankruptcy today is a business opportunity for lots of people like me.” But the newly released documents reveal that Barrack’s efforts were more serious and advanced than previously known.
“The American people deserve to know the facts about whether the White House is willing to place the potential profits of the president’s personal friends above the national security of the American people and the universal objective of preventing the spread of nuclear weapons,” the committee’s chairman, Rep. Elijah Cummings, Democrat of Maryland, said in a statement on Monday.
The White House didn’t immediately respond to questions. The White House and multiple federal agencies did not cooperate with the committee’s investigation. Trump has spent the past several days tweeting insults at Cummings.
The committee’s Republican staff released its own report last week defending the administration against Democrats’ allegations of wrongdoing.
The Emirati businessman whom Barrack consulted on the campaign speech, Rashid al-Malik, is close to the UAE’s powerful prince and his brother who heads the country’s intelligence services, according to the Times. Al-Malik met with prosecutors in 2018 and then left the country, the Times reported. His lawyer, Bill Coffield, didn’t respond to requests for comment.
During the campaign, Barrack, an Arabic-speaking son of Lebanese immigrants, proposed deepening economic ties through a “Middle East Marshall Plan,” named after the American aid program to postwar Europe. After Trump’s inauguration, Barrack’s “Marshall Plan” turned into an effort to build nuclear reactors in Saudi Arabia, according to the committee’s report.
Barrack discussed the idea with officials, including senior adviser Jared Kushner, chief strategist Steve Bannon, chief of staff Reince Priebus and economic adviser Gary Cohn, according to the committee’s report. In March 2017, Barrack and Gates, who then worked for Barrack’s company, met with the president about the “Trump Middle East Marshall Plan,” according to correspondence obtained by the House committee.
Barrack talked to Trump and Kushner about leading the initiative as a special envoy to the Middle East, according to messages quoted in the report.
“I have been discussing a position with POTUS and Jared which would focus primarily on the commercial and economic aspects of the new economic development plan across the region,” Barrack said in a March 2017 email to the UAE’s ambassador to Washington, Yousef al Otaiba. “Would love to talk to you in depth about it when you have time!”
Who Was Behind the Plan to Give Saudi Arabia Nuclear Power, and What Was Their Agenda? — “Trump, Inc.” Extra We talk with the ProPublica reporter who helped uncover the Trump administration’s plan to bring nuclear technology to the Saudis.
“Why don’t we try to get together with Adel next week, all three of us so we can brainstorm together,” Otaiba replied, referring to Adel al-Jubeir, a top Saudi diplomat. “Adel is a very close friend of mine and we often conspire together.”
The Emirati Embassy didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
Had Barrack taken an official position, he would have become subject to federal laws against conflicts of interest. But as the prospect of a diplomatic appointment faded, Barrack positioned himself to profit from the economic strategy he helped shape.
“We should revisit westinghouse issue!” Barrack texted Kushner in May 2017. “Interesting opportunity.”
Barrack approached private equity giants Apollo and Blackstone about joining their bid to buy Westinghouse, according to the report. In a September 2017 memo from Barrack, he said the firms would combine their funds with money from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
But Westinghouse went with a competing bid, from the Canadian investment firm Brookfield. Barrack contacted Brookfield’s CEO asking to get involved, and Brookfield invited Barrack’s firm to make a $50 million investment, according to a February 2018 slide presentation quoted in the report.
The report does not make clear whether the investment went through. A person familiar with the negotiations, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the investment didn’t end up happening.
Saudi Arabia still needs to sign a treaty with the U.S. before it can build nuclear power plants using U.S. technology. But the administration has already given some nuclear companies permission to share sensitive information with the Saudis. Lawmakers are furious that they weren’t notified and that the administration has forged ahead despite the Saudis’ role in the humanitarian crisis in Yemen and the murder of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
In February 2019, Trump met with representatives from the nuclear industry about the Saudi deal. The White House meeting was organized by a retired general whose company had worked with Barrack to advance the proposal, according to the House committee’s report. The company, IP3, planned a follow-up meeting in March with the national security adviser, John Bolton, but Bolton’s assistant canceled because of “legal and ethical concerns,” according to an email quoted in the report.
The White House meeting unnerved some of the other industry participants, according to emails quoted in the report. One email, sent by an executive who was not identified, called IP3’s proposal “dangerous-sounding” and a “flashing red warning light.” A different executive said, “Most participants are still concerned that IP3 is setting everyone up.” Another called IP3 the “Theranos of the nuclear industry,” referring to the blood-test startup whose founder has been charged with criminal fraud.
Barrack, however, was enthusiastic to throw in with IP3. In a January 2017 email after meeting with IP3 co-founder Robert “Bud” McFarlane (the Reagan national security adviser who pleaded guilty to withholding information from Congress and was later pardoned), Barrack wrote, “Bud I would follow you and your team almost anywhere!”
Lets get this clear. Hillary transacts highly classified state business in her home brewed email server, gets subpoenad and she deletes 'yoga' emails. she goes scott free. Not only her aide had thousands of emails on a laptop that FBI took possession of from the hairband of Huma Abedin. Antony weiner had access to classified emails yet they charged him for Child porn
Trump walks off with documents after elections ( apparently I saw somewhere he had declassified}. FBI raid his place when he is not even there.
Banana republic. Those celebrating the raid should know that one day tables will turn.
Obrigardo: Bye Bye Criminal trump We hope to never see your stinking dishevelled face again and never to hear your hateful, spiteful, nazi filled drivel ever again You scum of the earth and a disgrace to decency
Why are you so personally bitter with Trump? He took Melania from you?
Obrigardo: This is exactly how basilico, benalvino, onos and that insane wergonnalose are, 100%
Scammers!
You spend all your time digging up negative news on Trump , his family and friends. Whats the relevance of this . A Trump supporter changes tags like a lot of people do. to you its an issue because its a Trump supporter.
benalvino3: VOLTRON I think you need to get your head checked from all the propaganda and lies controlling you. look at the bolds and laugh at yourself.
All you posted up there was rubbish. Obama revenging for Lockerbie, He is making noise. total rubbish Because you are Voltron, You must defend.
the Qataris actions were nothing and a failed uprising without Nato. They did exactly the same in Syria.
You are now tying Lockerbie to it. something or excuse that even Obama did not use. there was never a time Libya was strong enough to face the US. just as how they destroyed Syria, they destroyed Libya.
If they make noise so? are they attacking anyone? Ghadaffi was not making noise before they killed him, he was helping. he also warned them of the immigration crisis and terrorism he is helping to prevent.
Saint Obama actions have to be protected by his minions however despicable they are These ediots here only know the saint could never go wrong. Will take a lifetime to open their eyes
Timiofak: They claim they want to leave it to the states, ask them to leave it to each person
Let people vote if they want it or not, watch how they would disagree
This is just a first.
Let them try it in other states at least 35-40 would vote to make abortion legal, including Texas and Florida.
This people don’t rule the majority, they rule for the rich and envagelicals
If some states votes to ban abortion after fetal heartbeat is detected You would have Problem with that? Assuming mom is healthy n baby is healthy too.l

Ibime: Who is the Arab Spring? You mean the Arab League?
All your off-topic rant all over the place, addressing topics nobody is arguing with you will not move a fly. You have started an anti-West diatribe over what the Arab League requested be done to their brother. When you finish, go and read about Qatar funding and stoking that whole rebel movement from inception, before you absolve the Arabs and blame only the West again like a typical Putard.
The West was only too happy to oblige their request and treat Ghaddaffi fückup finally. Westerners know, as a Westerner told you in the bolded below. You can only rant from far.
Ibime the wars in Middle East were started by the west to bring democracy to these 'savages' who need dictators to hold a nation together
