Rand Paul & Mitch McConnell advisor Jessie Benton sentenced to prison for laundering Russian money into Trump’s campaign as part of the GOP effort to frame Trump for Russian collusion.
Trump pardoned Benton for an earlier campaign offense (buying endorsements for Ron Paul’s 2012 Presidential campaign) while FBI & DOJ investigated his efforts to frame Trump.
Did he try to use the Russian cash as leverage against Trump? It backfired!
Benton & other GOP operatives got Trump to unwittingly pose with Roman Vasilenko, a Russian reserve naval officer who probably works for Russian intelligence.
They set up Trump to meet a Russian spy who illegally donated to Trump’s campaign.
A perfect set up for the Swamp to compromise or impeach Trump in 2017.
Vasilenko met with Trump on behalf of Putin’s propaganda team. They got video to use in their failed effort to compromise Trump.
Wead & Benton were both indicted last year.
It gets worse. The GOP PAC & FEC agreed to throw Benton under the bus & let the PAC escape.
Then FEC governors (appointed by the Swamp) refused to confirm the charges against him & let him go too!
Jessie Benton is married to one of Ron Paul’s granddaughters.
But he was clearly the junior partner in this crime to his co-defendant Doug Wead who was a senior advisor to President George H. W. Bush.
While Benton was convicted in November, Doug Wead died of a massive stroke & was taken off life support on 12/10/22 before his trial.
Doug Wead advised George W. Bush.
Wead secretly recorded the conversations with W. without Bush’s knowledge. Sounds Swampy…
Wead helped Bush win in 2000. He was considered a Bush family insider.
Then he joined the Ron Paul & Rand Paul teams.
He also made false allegations against Obama that he blamed on a misunderstanding with his source.
Wead publicized the secret Bush tapes to the New York Times after Bush was inaugurated for his 2nd term. Wead released some of the tapes which seem to contain lots of good oppo research material.
Wonder if it implied a threat to release more to harm Bush?

Remember the researchers at Georgia Tech who were getting paid by the DOD & USAF to spy on Trump & feed that info into Hillary's oppo research campaign?
DOJ joined a lawsuit accusing GT on behalf of those researchers of lying to DOD about compliance with cybersecurity procedures.
So the cybersecurity people accessing NSA data to spy upon Donald Trump for the Pentagon were willfully avoiding compliance with security proposals. Then pressuring GT to lie to the DOD & submit false audits claiming that their computers were secure.
#ButNothingsHappening
I know some people still believe Hillary's Russia Hoax that told them FBI was investigating & spying on Trump.
How long are you going to continue to believe Hillary's smokescreen & help hide that it was her campaign & the Pentagon that spied on Trump?
For those who don't understand the law in this case, Congress has authorized the Attorney General to specially appoint lawyers & conduct legal proceedings at the same level as US Attorneys without confirmation. It's specifically authorized.
While Canon ignores Section 515, it specifically authorizes AGs to appoint special attorneys to prosecute criminal cases & run grand juries same as a US Attorney can.
She claims the law does not authorize the AG to appoint a special counsel with the authority of a US Attorney.
Julian Assange flying to the North Marianas to plead guilty to espionage.
Gets a 62 month prison sentence, but will be released with time served for his 5 years in British prison.
The choice of the Northern Marianas Islands is unusual.
That US territory is a hub for Chinese money laundering to the US & to US politicians. Wonder if he will testify to a US grand jury while he is there? Or has he already done so by Zoom?
The Chinese have been buying off Swampy politicians on Pacific islands that are US territories to infiltrate them to get into the US financial system.
The Northern Marianas, the Solomons, & many others...
Beny Steinmetz connects to so much corruption around the world!
Steinmetz was arrested 3 years ago shortlay after FBI seized Hunter & Rudy's electronic devices including communications with his lawyer former FBI Director Louis Freeh.
#ButNothingsHappening
On behalf of Steinmetz & other clients, Freeh tried to gain access to Trump & Biden through Guiliani & Hunter. Freeh marked all his emails as Attorney Client privileged in an effort to protect them. DOJ needed filter teams or a special master to read them.
Exclusive: The case of the Michael Cohen condo just got a whole lot more interesting!
I found an online report on the resident. It isn't an embassy or a diplomat.
It appears to be a couple who are financial reporters for CNBC & Bloomberg?
It was well publicized that Michael Cohen's condo at 111 Murray Street is 19West or 19W.
A condo that he rented on 11/27/18 prior to pleading guilty in SDNY on 11/29/18.
The website identifies as a resident of 19W Sara A Eisen, 39 formerly of Cincinatti, OH.
It appears to be Sara A. Eisen the co-host of CNBC's Squakbox. One of her associates listed on the website is her husband Matthew Levine. usphonebook.com/address/111-mu…
The majority of Daszak's funds came from DOD, but the previous investigations focused on Daszak taking money from NIH that prohibited him from conducting GoF work.
Work he did in Wuhan anyway & concealed it from NIH.
Daszak claimed he 'accidentally' conducted GoF work in Wuhan in 2018-2019. But he concealed this from NIH until 2021 even though his grants required immediate reporting of 'accidental' GoF results.
