One of the branches of the FBI/CIA /DNC Trump operation has been to entrap and prosecute Trump associates. The first was The Michael Flynn prosecution.
General Flynn was DIA head at one time in the Obama administration. He became Trump’s National Security Assistant after the election. He was visited by FBI agent Peter Strzok on the pretext pf establishing the FBI presence in the White House, but, in fact, it was a setup to entrap him. The NSA had intercepted a telephone call between Flynn and the Russian ambassador, as part of his normal duties. The transcript of that call was used to charge Flynn with “lying to a federal officer” in spite of the fact that Strzok and the other agent reported that Flynn had not lied. Acting Deputy AG Sally Yates, an Obama holdover, decided to charge him anyway and he eventually pled guilty to avoid crushing legal fees and threats against his son.
Paul Manafort, a late hire of the Trump campaign, was similarly prosecuted by Mueller for actions taken years before he met Trump and probably at the instigation of Ukranian political figures who opposed the people Manafort worked for.
The most recent revelations concern George Papadopoulos, who was briefly a member of the Trump campaign but held no office in the Administration.
George Papadopoulos and his wife Simone Mangiante approached in Greece by a known CIA/FBI operative, Charles Tawil. Mr. Tawil enlists George as a business consultant, under the auspices of energy development interests, and hands him $10,000 in cash to take back to the U.S. Upon arrival at the Dulles airport Robert Mueller had FBI agents waiting. Papadopoulos was stopped and searched; however, he never had the cash because he smartly left it in Greece with his lawyer. Further:
[W]hen he was arrested at Dulles Airport on July 27 after coming off a flight from Munich, prosecutors had no warrant for him and no indictment or criminal complaint. The complaint would be filed the following morning and approved by Howell in Washington.
This was a setup in an attempt to “turn” a Trump associate and force him to testify about alleged Russian possession of Hillary Clinton emails.
The FBI who met Papadopoulos at the airport had no warrant, no indictment and no criminal complaint…. because they believed George would be carrying the evidence they would need to structure their legal leverage.
The FBI behavior became a scramble, and the DOJ needed their hastily constructed indictment to be sealed, because their initial leverage fell through. The $10,000 was a set up.
Unless the Democrats can take over the House and the Intelligence Committee, this will likely blow wide open the whole Mueller witch hunt.
One more question about Mueller and his operation. What, if anything, did Mueller have to do with the Whitey Bulgar hit in prison this week ?
89-year-old Boston mob boss James ‘Whitey’ Bulger was killed in prison by a ‘fellow inmate with mafia ties’ shortly after he was transferred to a West Virginia federal prison.
Bulger was reportedly wheeled away from security cameras and beaten with a lock in a sock and also had his eyes gouged out.
Sources told The Daily Mail that Whitey Bulger was about to out people in the FBI, specifically FBI officials of the informant program.
Mueller was described by Representative Gohmert as Acting US Attorney in Boston during the years that Bulgar was an FBI informant.
Gohmert’s report is here.
