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.

#ButNothingsHappening
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!
Two weeks before the 2016 election, Benton was ‘caught’ in an October Surprise video offering to launder $2M from China into a ‘pro-Trump’ SuperPAC.

In reality, the Chinese representatives were working for a British newspaper.
nytimes.com/2016/10/25/us/…
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. Image
A perfect set up for the Swamp to compromise or impeach Trump in 2017.

forensicnews.net/decorated-russ…
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. ImageImage
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.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_Wead
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… Image
Wead helped Bush win in 2000. He was considered a Bush family insider.

Then he joined the Ron Paul & Rand Paul teams. Image
He also made false allegations against Obama that he blamed on a misunderstanding with his source. Image
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? Image

yWhat may be the biggest part of the agreement, DOJ is referring Raytheon to DOD & other agencies to begin a review to determine if Raytheon or individuals involved should be suspended from government contracts & debarred from future contracts! Image
So in addition to the corruption & bribery, the risks of Raytheon committing crimes to conceal corruption related to arms sales to foreign governments is a major factor in this case.
Opens contractors up to other off the books deals. Image
Raytheon as a corporation has now flipped on their executives who made these decisions. Which means Raytheon can only survive as a business & defense contractor if it provides all the receipts for criminal prosecutions. Image

The Swamp draining gets to Raytheon!

Not to mention more Swamp draining in Qatar!

#ButNothingsHappening
Raytheon will pay $950 million to settle the allegations against the company for several different criminal schemse the company participated in.
Raytheon accepted a deferred prosecution agreement that becomes a confession at trial if they don't cooperate!
justice.gov/usao-edny/pr/r…
The 1st set of charges are in EDNY. Bribing Qatari officials for defense contracts.
Then conspiracy by not report the bribes on the paperwork requesting permission to export the arms to Qatar. This sets a precedent for EVERY arms export deal! Image

Continuing to drain the Swamp in New York City.

Mayor Adams indicted by the DOJ following an FBI investigation.

And people still want to side with the Swamp against th FBI & DOJ.
Why could they still believe #ButNothingsHappening after 14 years of indictments & convictions?
I wonder how he got caught?

Could it be one of Trump's partners in catching Swamp creatures for the FBI? Image
The Republican Swamp Creatures are upset that another Democrat Swamp Creature is gettig drained!

Usually they aren't this blatant in defending corrupt Democrats. Image

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?

This will likely be overturned, but it effectively sidelines the cases against Trump until after the election & almost certainly after his 2nd term.

The AG almost certainly has this authority both to appoint a special counsel & to fund them from funds appropriated to the DOJ.
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. Image
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.

Who'd he give up in exchange for the guilty plea?

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...
