Brian McCauley, Ex-FBI official who worked for Flynn Intel Group on Turkey/Gulen project, claims that Bijan Kian asked him whether he still had access to classified FBI files, on their way to meet with Turkish officials in NY. #KianTrial
McCauley said Bijan Kian, Gen. Michael Flynn, Former CIA Director James Woolsey, and himself were ready at the meeting with the Turkey delegation. Turkish side: Ekim Alptekin, Erdogan’s son-in-law Berat Albayrak and FM Cavusoglu. #KianTrial
Ex-FBI McCauley: “Bijan Kian wanted me to meet with Cong. Dana Rohrabacher and tell him Gulen is a terrorist. I refused to do that. Didn’t attend the meeting. Because there were no evidence that he was” #KianTrial
Ex-Flynn Intel Group contractor McCauley: “When we presented our work about Gulen to Alptekin, he was dismissive. He said, “I know all these. I want dirt. Can you plant dirt?”. He wanted to have hard evidence that he could claim the guy committed crime. #KianTrial
Ex-Flynn Intel Group employee Michel Boston: “Bijan Kian wanted pictures of Gulen deragatory in nature. He wanted us to box him as a terrorist, redefine him as a mullah”.
Ex-Flynn Group employee Mike Boston: “The ultimate goal of the project with Alptekin (aka Turkish gov’t) was to get a criminal referral against Fethullah Gulen, change his status in the US and get him extradited”.
Ex-FBI Flynn Intel Group contractor Brian McCauley: "Gen. Flynn wanted to file Turkey project with DOJ. Kian didn't want it. He said, "Let's keep it under the radar." #KianTrial
Not from the court, but this Turkish Official Gazette document shows that Bijan Kian and Ekim Alptekin were business partners in a Turkish company in 2011. That might be the reason why the Turkish gov’t has chosen him to approach Gen. Flynn through Bijan Kian.
