A Russian oligarch who offered dirt on the Clintons shipped Trump an expensive painting as Russian intelligence was hacking the DNC and the Clintons.
After the Russians help delivered the election to Trump, a former Russian spy and head of a large state-owned bank gave Kushner a painting too. We can keep going.
When Russian intelligence was pushing dirt on the Bidens, Giuliani met with a Russian real estate developer who built the Kremlin and got...... this? forensicnews.net/amid-hunt-for-…
I think? it's a huge bottle of vodka with Giuliani's face on it, but I'm not sure.

I want to re-up something @robertjdenault and I have reported: Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska has an active contract with NSO Group. We've seen the contract between his law firm and NSO.
Robert is no longer with Forensic News but just wanted to give him credit for the previous reporting!
The contract shows a project was paid for by Deripaska's law firm, Egorov Puginsky Afanasiev & Partners. The document is on OSY Technologies letterhead and says that funds were to be paid to a bank account at UniCredit Bulbank controlled by OSY Technologies – NSO Group offshoot.

I take foreign intelligence influence in the US very seriously. If the right-hand-man of a US Senator (on the Intel Committee!!) manages the money for an ex-Israeli intelligence officer, yeah, there's a problem. That's just one of the parts of this piece.
That aide is currently doing the following things:

-Helping the ex-Israeli intelligence officer with his investments
-Managing the Senator's PACs and family business.

It's a conflict. I don't care who it is.
A parallel would be this:

A GOP senator's 30 year aide who manages the senator's political and personal businesses working with an ex-Russian intelligence officer who has a company that hacks journalists. There's a problem here.

5 years ago this week, Michael Flynn dined with Putin. The same week, NRA officials flew to Moscow and met/partied with Russian government leaders, Russian spy Maria Butina and her handler, Torshin.

Now Russia has conducted one of the most devastating hacks on the US in history.
It has been 5+ years of acquiescence to Putin. And this is what it leads to.
At the same time, one has to understand the difference between the 2016 DNC hack/leak operation and what is occurring now with the Cozy Bear attacks. This intel gathered via the recent hacks will likely not be used in an overt political manner. (1/2)

This is outrageous. Barr told a prosecutor in Pittsburgh to accept information about the Bidens that Giuliani got from sources in Ukraine, even though a legitimate inquiry into Hunter Biden was already being done by the books in Delaware. nytimes.com/2020/12/11/us/…
The real FBI investigation determined that Hunter Biden was not guilty of any money laundering offenses. Image
The shadow prosecutor investigation STILL took in information from Giuliani via his Ukrainian sources (reminder: some of these people were Russian intelligence agents)

These attacks against Swalwell are so outrageous even for that group.

Totally fine sending private campaign data willingly and frequently to a Russian spy, not fine to cooperate with the FBI after being targeted by a Chinese spy.
Totally fine meeting with another Russian spy to get dirt on the Bidens, not fine to cut off all contact with the Chinese spy after being notified.
If anything comes out against Swalwell about him acting inappropriately with the Chinese spy after being told by the FBI, I'll be the first to condemn and report on it. I don't care that he endorsed my book and work.

But until then, these are bad faith arguments to intimidate.

Deutsche Bank is under increasing criminal scrutiny in the Wirecard case. The former COO of Wirecard fled to Russia under the protection of Russian intelligence.
I wrote about a California-based man who is tangled up in this as investigators probe his connections to Wirecard. The man, Ray Akhavan, was previously tied to the money laundering scandal at FBME Bank. He was recently re-arrested on drug and gun charges. forensicnews.net/2020/07/09/us-…
Underscoring the significance of Akhavan is one of his attorneys, William Burck, who previously represented multiple Trump team members in the Mueller probe.
