If you read my thread from yesterday, I found interesting evidence that the Trump Russia Collusion was actually an FBI sting on Russian spies and criminals. What if @realDonaldTrump is the FBI informant that Rossentein & Wray are protecting?
The evidence supports the case that the FBI was dangling Trump colluding with Russia as the bait in a sting operation in 2014. Was Trump a willing participant in the FBI operation to catch Russian Spies? Or was he bait without knowing it?
Obviously that would be closely held information. The indictments & news articles contradict each other, but this may be intentional to confuse the spies & Russians about how they were caught.
So what evidence is there that Trump may have been an FBI undercover informant?
More than I would have guessed before yesterday!
To recap, Carter Page was the “undercover agent” in the first 2 paragraphs. The identity of the two “undercover agents” involved in the 2014 FBI casino sting have not been publicly reported. But there are lots of clues. abcnews.go.com/International/…
It is even possible that there were more than 2 operatives with that number released to confuse the issue. That may also explain why different sources call the same operative an Undercover FBI Employee, a Confidential Source and other terms in different articles.
Why might Trump be involved? Because of what FBI sting involved. A bogus offer to the Russians to help a “wealthy investor” who had casinos in Atlantic City, violate sanctions & open a casino in Russia. theatlantic.com/national/archi…
The FBI indictments state that their undercover employee posed as a fixer for this wealthy investor wanting to illegally connect his Atlantic City casino to a new one in Russia. What roles do Sater & Cohen play for Trump? Fixing real estate deals. justice.gov/sites/default/…
But another source claims the Undercover FBI Employee was the one who played the "wealthy investor" wanting to collude with Russians to build a casino in Russia, working with his casinos in AC, NJ. Trump owned 2 casinos in AC during the July 2014 sting. theatlantic.com/national/archi…
If Trump was the contact, it would certainly explain why the Russian spies worried it might be a trap but decided it was worth the risk. He would be a big source to land that might make an FSB spies career!
In an attempt to connect Trump to Felix Sater's suspicious dealings with the Russians, many news organizations published stories showing how Trump had to know what Sater was doing, and had to be involved. They had no idea, Sater wasn't colluding with Russians but catching them.
This article by Grant Stern lays out some interesting details that make it clear that Trump knew what Sater was doing for the FBI. Huh, Sater & Trump used his casinos to catch bad guys for the FBI. thesternfacts.com/russian-mobste…
Interestingly, Trump is supposedly completely aware that Sater is an FBI/CIA/DIA operative. So Trump would surely know Sater was dangling Trump casino collusion to Russian spies, for the FBI. Seems @MichaelCohen212 was in on it too.
Yes, but it seems clear that Trump's connections to Russian oligarchs and organized crime figures was part of an FBI investigation. It's amazing how all those notorious connections look different w/ Trump working for the FBI against the Russians. thesternfacts.com/russian-mobste…
Nor would it be something new for Trump to do. He apparently has been using his Atlantic City casinos to help catch organized crime figures since before it was built. Since 1981, Trump has been helping the FBI. From an FBI document available at: thesmokinggun.com/file/donald-tr…
So Trump avoided organized crime & corruption by ensuring that it was caught by the FBI. Even employing an FBI informant as his consultant and negotiator w/ organized labor. Trump used his casino for an undercover sting on mobsters. He's probably been working with them ever since
SO the FBI, Fusion GPS, CIA, MI6, & many more are hot on the trail of Sater, Page, Cohen, & Trump. Having no clue that they are working with the FBI to sting the Russians. buzzfeed.com/anthonycormier…
Again the connections of Sater & Cohen to the Russians seems too convenient. Many of us though they were stinging Trump (and may have) but they were legally involved in stinging the Russians for the FBI and other government agencies.
That is all very interesting, but other facts might prove more interesting. Such as who knew about the Sater/Trump stinging the Russians? Could it be the same people who created the Trump Russia Collusion narrative to begin with? Of course!
So while Sater & Trump were probably serving as informants for the NY FBI offices against organized crime & Russians. Wo was working in NY on those issues? Andrew McCabe was part of that task force at the time and led it from 2003-06. Plus Bruce Ohr, DOJ & Christopher Steele, MI6
SO they knew Sater )and probably Trump) were FBI assets, and concealed that information to trigger & expand the Trump Russia Collusion narrative. whowhatwhy.org/2017/05/15/www…
I bet McCabe had a unique understanding of the Trump Russia case, and led the investigation into Trump anyway. whowhatwhy.org/2017/05/15/www…
But I wonder how deep this goes? I suspect we will soon learn.
Who else knew about Sater & possibly Trump's role as FBI sources? Attorney General Loretta Lynch. She's the one who gave Sater his sweetheart deal in exchange for all the good he had done.
But there were others unknown in the CIA who knew too. But his CIA contacts had him working with CIA General Counsel Robert McNamera Jr. & David Kendall, a Clinton lawyer and fixer. So the Clinton team knew of Sater's role & may have outed. buzzfeed.com/anthonycormier…
I'm sure there is much more that I have not found yet! That is the value of crowd sourcing this investigation. We each find a kernel, and soon we are sitting back eating popcorn watching the big show! End thread.
