Then on FBI raid of two US homes of Russian oligarch (Putin stooge) Oleg Deripaska

I had to think about this and dig into it. Let's do a short thread about Manafort's boss...

Oleg Deripaska is an aluminum Billionaire worth about $4.5 Billion. One of world's richest men. He was one of those who raided Russian wealth when Putin took over the country & became Dictator. Oleg is one of Czar Vladimir the Smug's fave errand boys & regularly travels with him

When Putin invaded Ukraine and annexed Crimea, President Obama slapped biggest sanctions that USA had ever imposed on any country, upon Russia. INCLUDING oligarchs and their businesses. Including Oleg Deripaska and Rusal his aluminum company, in 2014

Paul Manafort (worst American to ever have lived) became Trump's campaign manager in 2016 and 'worked for free'

In reality he was paid by Putin - through Deripaska - BOTH have confessed that an employment contact was for Manafort to work for Deripaska AT THIS TIME

Yes. Scumbag

Oh, Manafort the most vile American ever to have lived. Helped oligarchies that pillaged countries on five continents. He was the personal advisor to mass murderer Dictators like Mobutu Sese-Seko, Marcos, & this dude. Putin's pal Yanukovych who tried to become Dictator of Ukraine

In the 2016 Republican convention, Paul Manafort arranged for the Republican party platform to REMOVE text critical of the just-happened invasion annexation of Crimea by Russia. And Manafort got Trump to talk about ending sanctions of Russia

Oh, of course 'no connection' haha

In 2017, after Trump became President, he decided to end Obama's sanctions on Russia

It was a REPUBLICAN Congress, both House and Senate, that stopped Trump. That is why Sanctions remained also against Deripaska, Manafort's boss.

After 2018, DEMs took House. Trump tried again to lift sanctions on Manafort boss. This time a curious thing happened in Kentucky

Teenage Mutant Mitch McTurtle, #MoscowMitch agreed to lift sanctions on Deripaska COMPANIES but not the man himself

Kentucky got an aluminum factory

You would think Deripaska was feeling the pain? Unless you found out that Putin had made his errand boy Oleg a diplomat, and now Deripaska does not need a visa, the sanctions did not prevent Deripaska from visiting his 2 lavish US homes at will

Well played Czar Vladimir the Smug

Meanwhile Manafort was caught by Mueller, faced a fair trial. Was convicted during a Republican Attorney General on federal crimes, was sentenced & imprisoned

Then Trump pardoned Oleg Deripaska's boy, Paulie Ostrich Coat, of course. Trump does whatever Putin demands.

That is the history. Now we learned Oleg Deripaska's two homes were raided by FBI. Deripaska is not in the USA. Had not been to those homes in months.

For the search warrant to be approved, the FBI had to convice judge there is evidence of a CURRENT or recent crime

FBI raid of two Oleg Deripaska homes COULD be related to almost any Trump criminal investigation including Weisselberg, Giuliani, Tom Barrack, Matt Gaetz (simultaneous news US Secret Service assisting in Joel Greenberg investigation = financial) or any other federal investigation

But we DO know it will be federal and INTERNATIONAL. It is either sanctions busting, or international bribes, or both. Deripaska was involved in INTIMIDATING witnesses in 2018

Trump & possibly GOP (Mitch? Manafort?) will be involved. Criminal indictments are coming

Stay tuned
