FBI investigating Papadopoulos about a 2016 deal he & Trump were pursuing with Russia

George Papadopoulos, a Trump campaign adviser who pleaded guilty to lying to federal agents about his interactions with a Russia-linked professor in 2016, went to jail on Monday after fighting, and failing, to delay the start of his two-week prison sentence. But a letter now being investigated by the House Intelligence Committee and the FBI indicates that Papadopoulos is still in the crosshairs of investigators probing a potential conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia.

The letter, obtained last week by The Atlantic, was sent to Democratic Representative Adam Schiff’s office on November 19 by an individual who claims to have been close to Papadopoulos in late 2016 and early 2017. The letter was brought to the attention of Schiff and House Intelligence Committee staff, according to an aide who requested anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation. The letter was also obtained by federal authorities, who are taking its claims “very seriously,” said two U.S. officials who also requested anonymity due to the sensitivities of the probe.

The statement makes a series of explosive but uncorroborated claims about Papadopoulos’s alleged coordination with Russians in the weeks following Trump’s election in November 2016, including that Papadopoulos said he was “doing a business deal with Russians which would result in large financial gains for himself and Mr. Trump.” The confidant said they were willing to take a polygraph test “to prove that I am being truthful” and had come forward now after seeing Papadopoulos “become increasingly hostile towards those who are investigating him and his associates.” A lawyer for Papadopoulos declined to comment

If corroborated, the claims in the letter would add to an emerging portrait of Trump and his associates’ eagerness to strike backdoor deals with Russia even after the intelligence community concluded that Moscow had interfered in the 2016 election. (Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, tried to set up a “backchannel” to Russia in the weeks after the election and met with the CEO of a sanctioned Russian bank during the transition period. Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn, meanwhile, negotiated with the Russian ambassador about U.S. sanctions before Trump was inaugurated).

Much of the attention in recent days has been focused on former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and what the campaign knew about WikiLeaks’ plans to release stolen Democratic emails. But Papadopoulos remains one of the most important figures in the Russia investigation. He was ostensibly the first member of the Trump campaign to learn that the Russians had stolen emails that they planned to use against Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election. Rather than tell the FBI about the Russian “dirt” on Clinton, Papadopoulos continued trying to facilitate a meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin as the campaign wore on. His disclosure to an Australian diplomat in May 2016 that Russia had dirt on Clinton is purportedly what triggered the FBI’s Russia investigation—Australian officials reported the comment to American law enforcement authorities in July 2016, after WikiLeaks released the stolen DNC emails.

I knew you were just talking. We Brits pay for the BBC through TV Licence. This years cost £150. It's there main source of funding and they don't do adverts. If they are as crap as you initially said they were we would refuse to pay for it (unless you want to claim we'd be too stupid to know, of course), and it would just die off!

Below is what the Economist wrote pre-election. Note the references to race.

THE mid-term elections finally come to an end on November 27th, when Mississippians head to the polls to choose a new senator. Cindy Hyde-Smith, whom the state’s governor appointed to the seat when Thad Cochran resigned in April, faces off against Mike Espy, who represented the state’s second district in Congress before serving as Bill Clinton’s agriculture secretary. Ms Hyde-Smith is a white Republican, Mr Espy an African-American Democrat.

Over the course of the campaign, Ms Hyde-Smith has morphed from bland seat-filler into something more noxious. Footage surfaced of her joking that if a supporter “invited me to a public hanging, I would be on the front row” (no state lynched more African-Americans than Mississippi).

Michael Cohen (Trump's personal lawyer) pleads guilty to lying to Congress

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2018/11/29/michael-cohen-plea-deal-mueller/

Michael Cohen, the former personal lawyer of President Donald Trump, has reached a new plea agreement with special counsel Robert Mueller and will plead guilty for lying to congressional committees as part of their investigation into possible collusion between the 2016 Trump presidential campaign and Russia, according to reports.
Cohen on Thursday is expected to enter a guilty plea in a federal court in New York regarding his contacts with Russian nationals during the election. The former Trump lawyer is said to have given 70 hours worth of testimony to Mueller’s office.

Federal agents show up at Ald. Ed Burke’s City Hall office, paper over windows


Federal agents showed up unannounced at the City Hall office of Finance Committee Chairman Ed Burke, kicked everyone out and papered over the windows Thursday morning. Federal agents have raided the City Hall office of Chicago Alderman Ed Burke this morning. Burke's small law firm did tax work for Donald Trump for 12 years.

The nature of their visit was not known, but Ald. Burke (14th) has dodged dozens of federal investigations over five decades in Chicago politics.

Federal agents also showed up to Burke’s ward office and papered over the windows there.

This case is very interesting case in chicagotown because Ald Ed Burke is a very powerful Chicago politician who is as powerful as the Mayor of Chicago Rahm Emanuel. He's a crooked guy but he's powerful and his wife is an Associate Supreme Court Justice in Illinois. As I am typing this , his City Hall office is still being searched by the FBI and so is his ward office on the South West Side of Chicago. He's a Real Estate Tax Attorney that represents Trump Tower which is across from my office building. What people are saying is that it has to do with Trump although nothing concrete is known now. It's a developing story in Chicago and i guess it's time Karma catch up with the guy.

Those people in the caravan live better life than you do. All you need to do is Google Honduras and Guatemala where most of them comes from and compare it to Nigeria where your type makes less than $1.50cents a day. If Nigeria has a border with US, I bet you that you and your fellow Americanna wannabe will be trekking in like the people in the caravan. Bottom line is that most of those on the caravan have a better life than you do in your cave. About Trump, he's wetting his pants as at now because of the hammer that will fall on his son the Jnr Conman. Stupidity is not minding the sinking titanic you live in and be obsessed about a place you probably will never set your feet on. That's the highest form of stupidity coupled with illusion of grandeur.

You don't know didly squat about America but you will be the first one to comment with anything America. Yes, he had an agreement with Trudea and the outgoing Mexican President but what you forget is that the Senate and the House of Representatives have to vote on it. We don't live in dictatorship that you are used to. If it's good agreement, the Congress will pass it and if not , the House that will be Democratic comes January will turn it down .
