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

Credit Suisse pleads guilty & flips for helping 475 US account holders hide billions from the IRS in off-shore accounts.
They have also signed a deferred prosecution agreement for other crimes & agreed to cooperate!
Crimes from 2010-2021!
#ButNothingsHappening
Credit Suisse will pay $510M in fines & penalties in addition to the guilty plea.

After corrupt bankers collapsed Credit Suisse, UBS bought them & are now also forced to comply with the cooperation agreement!

It's a 2 for 1 special! Image
The reason for the requirement to plead guilty is likely because when they committed these crimes, they were under a Deferred Prosecution Agreement signed in 2014 that required their cooperation.
They didn't think DOJ would hold them to it!

People on all sides still believe the Russia Hoax that told them Trump & Putin are on the same side.

But that enabled Trump to rope-a-dope Putin into expecting Trump to hand him a victory in Ukraine that Russia's army can't achieve.

The Russians are figuring out it was a trap!
Russia can't win the war militarily.
It has lost the war economically.

Trump baited Putin along to ensure that Russia is taken off the table before we confront China.

Trump has created a scenario where Putin can lose or lose everything.

The presence of Chinese soldiers with the Russian Army isn't new. But why do you think it is big news now?

Because the US his highlighting China's involvment in the war as leverage.

You think the only thing Trump wants from China is to reduce their tariffs & protectionism? Image

I wonder if the Clintons get to keep their 'donations' for engineering the US taxpayers to pay for those Boeing to China sales?

#ButNothingsHappening
The Clintons & their foundation board member Terry McAuliffe helped Boeing violate sanctions & fund China's World's Fair in 2010.
Boeing also got caught exporting defense technology to China as part of its business relationship with China.

How long before people realize that Trump sets up cases to get precedents set in court?
Once the exact parameters & processes for using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 are confirmed deporting Tren de Aragua, how long does Trump wait to use it on China's 1000 Talents spy program? Image
It would be very easy to prove in court by the precedents set at this time that the 1000 Talents program is a predatory incursion against the United States by the Chinese government.

And Trump set the stage during his 1st term!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thousand_…
In 2018, the Trump White House laid out the threat posed by Chinese economic encroachment into the US economy.

This entire tanker deal between Boeing & the US Air Force was Swampy corruption.

Now the tankers are facing structural flaws.

Are they constructed from the titanium that the Clintons helped Dmitry Firtash sell to Boeing after bribing Indian officials to mine it?
FAA found that Boeing was buying titanium from sources that were falsifying the paperwork to hide where Boeing got it from.
Firtash is a Ukrainian oligarch who is friendly with Putin because he owns assets in both countries.

But he works with Swampy consulting firms like McKinsey & Co. to set ups Swampy deals & he hires the best lawyers to keep him out of a US prison.

Let's look at how President Trump tricked Putin into a far greater Russian defeat in Ukraine!

Trump learned the Rope-A-Dope from his friend Mohammed Ali!

Please excuse my poor 'artwork' replacing Ali & Fraser with Trump & Putin!
#ButNothingsHappening Image
Rope-a-dope is a boxing technique in which one contender leans against the ropes of the ring & draws non-injuring offensive punches, letting the opponent tire themself out. This gives the former the opportunity then to execute devastating offensive punches to help them win.
So while Putin & his fake news brag about Russia having Ukraine on the ropes, he is wasting what little is left of Russia's military, economy, & manpower to make ineffective attacks on wheat fields in the middle of nowhere.
While Ukraine's counterpunches are crushing Russia.
