Muzin paid by Scottish shell co, Biniatta Trade. The Belizian shell cos behind Biniatta were connected to firms controlled by Russians.

Muzin had Albanian DPA party meet w/Rohrabacher, Royce, P Sessions & McCall in 3/17. Breitbart did pro-DPA interview.

"Dana Rohrabacher being accused of being funded by Albanian Mafia"

Dana Rohrabacher met with DPA/Basha in 3/17 (above).

1/31/17 "...Rohrabacher also sent a letter to Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic proposing that mainly Albanian parts of southern Serbia should be swapped for the Serb-populated part of northern Kosovo"

"A former Trump campaign aide [Muzin]...a half-million-dollar pymt, a conserv Albanian political party, four Republican congressmen, Breitbart News, a kosher restaurateur in NYC, an online dating service that promotes “beautiful” UKRAINIAN women, and RU-linked shell companies..."

AHEM @knowledgevendor:

"...an Albanian-American olympist, Suxho (who prolly travels fairly freely, unsuspected), that "may be" close to Prince, and, is beholden to Rohrabacher (for UKRAINIAN wife's visa issues resolved)..."

@knowledgevendor "In late 3/17, Muzin set up a visit DC for Basha [DPA] that included meetings w/three GOP congressmen: Ed Royce of California, who chaired the House Foreign Relations Committee, and Michael McCaul and Pete Sessions of Texas. Basha also met with Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA)..."

@knowledgevendor "Basha [DPA] attended the National Republican Congressional Committee’s annual dinner, which featured Trump as the big-draw speaker. Muzin also contacted Stephen Bannon, then a senior White House adviser, and several other WH officials on Basha’s behalf..."

@Klickedy

@knowledgevendor @Klickedy "AND Muzin arranged for Basha [DPA] to be interviewed by Breitbart News, the right-wing site that Bannon had managed before joining the Trump campaign in 2016."

@knowledgevendor @Klickedy "Albania, a Muslim-majority nation that joined NATO in 2009, was under consideration for EU membership. But one condition the EU had set was that Albania’s government had to vet all its judges and prosecutors to address the significant corruption within its judiciary system.."

@knowledgevendor @Klickedy "...a move opposed by the DPA and denounced by Basha as the EU interfering with Albanian sovereignty. “Basha has been critical of the vetting,” says Fred Abrahams, author of Modern Albania: From Dictatorship to Democracy in Europe."

So some RUSSIANS stepped in to help? $$$$$

@knowledgevendor @Klickedy "....these are some of the elements in a bizarre tale of influence-peddling that spurs the suspicion that Russians covertly used Republicans in Washington in an effort to foment political conflict in the Balkans."

@knowledgevendor @Klickedy Muzin was a Trump campaign aide, YET "Muzin did not enter the Trump administration. Instead, on 3/31/17, he registered with the Justice Department as a foreign agent. His client: the Democratic Party of Albania." DPA.

@knowledgevendor @Klickedy "There is another unusual aspect of the amended filings Muzin submitted to the DOJ in 11/17. The docs noted that as part of the Albania project Muzin had paid $52K to Joseph Allaham the previous April. And in the amended filing, Allaham retroactively reg'd as a foreign agent."

@knowledgevendor @Klickedy "Allaham (Muzin assoc) belatedly files #FARA 11/17..."

@knowledgevendor @Klickedy Allaham "...boasts of brokering meetings with Assad, and Jewish organization Presidents.

No experience in the Balkans, yet $52K paid by Muzin for work on Albanian elections."

@knowledgevendor @Klickedy Joseph Allaham's website:

"a Maverick Entrepreneur and Influential Figure in International Relations and Foreign Affairs in the USA"

@knowledgevendor @Klickedy "His maverick determination has made him a successful businessman in diff industries, including his newest venture – a RE consultancy in NY....in 1993, at the time he moved to NY from Syria, Mr. Allaham fostered ties between the Syrian and the American Jewish community...."

@knowledgevendor @Klickedy The Assad bragging seems to have disappeared.

@knowledgevendor @Klickedy Rohrabacher does have Albanian donors, haven't seen any connections/check for connections
