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?

Edwin Pagan III was indicted in November based upon the OIG investigation.
Now David Macey has been indicted too & the charges agains Pagan have been expanded.
It started as 'tell me who is getting indicted so I can get them to hire me as their lawyer."
Became warn the cartels...
The unsealed indictment is available here:
I don't know why they don't name the 2 DEA agents as they have also been indicted in early cases based on the DOJ OIG investigation. justice.gov/d9/2025-02/u.s…
If you follow the fake news, you won't understand what
this means.
China is controlling rare earth minerals markets by buying Swamp creatures around the world to get mining rights & then not mine the minerals in places like Greenland & Ukraine.
Why? Because the Clinton Admin through the Gore–Chernomyrdin Commission sold those mining rights 30 years ago to oligarchs.
For Ukraine to resell the rights to the US, they must first prove that the sales to Clinton & Putin's oligarchs were corrupt!
The term Narco-terrorism has been in use for decades.
Trump's new EO is based on western hemisphere drug cartels converging with hostile governments & other terrorists. Including efforts to control Swamps in countries vital to us.

Trump also includes TdA & MS-13 within the scope of this order. If you're not aware, El Chapo reportedly hired MS-13 to assassinate Donald Trump before he ran for President the 1st time.
Likely in retaliation for Trump helping FBI identify El Chapo's money laundering networks.
Trump has not designated these cartels terrorist organizations, but is ordering the Secretary of State in consultation with Treasury, AG, DHS, & DNI to draw up the list with all cartels that meet the definition within 14 days.
So either he was batshit crazy or the person who fake this email wanted to make him look batshit crazy.
It is possible that they want to use this incident to trick people into thinking their batshit crazy ideas were shared by Livelsberger.
This press conference is discussing a completely different email. But it has been used to convince people, including myself that it was referring to the email in these threads.
