Frens, Matt Gaetz stormed the Adam Schiff Star Chamber in the basement of the Capitol Building to interrupt the scandalous secret Dim only hearings.
We owe this man a dig for that. It may be the biggest story this year, and it may bring about the downfall of Robert Mueller.
Robert Barnes (DC insider attorney) suggested that anyone interested in the Gaetz Extortion Sting duckduckgo +Levinson +Mueller +Russian. Here's what I found.
Mueller’s FBI, A Secret Iranian Mission, And A Russian Billionaire: A Conflict Of Interest
For over one year, Special CounselRobert Muellerhas investigated the alleged “Russian collusion” by the 2016 presidential campaign of Donald Trump. As well, Mueller has withstood political attacks, many of which have attempted to derail his lengthy career of government service. Nevertheless, there is one episode in the saga that even those close to Mueller and other ethicists acknowledge as a legitimate legal issue and possible conflict of interest of his leading the Russia probe.
An investigative report from The Hill outlines a new reality inside the Russian investigation. It tells the tale of a decade-old FBI operation that involved Mueller’s FBI, a secret Iranian mission, and a Russian billionaire.
When Mueller was deputy director of the FBI in 2009, the agency was attempting an operation to rescueRobert Levinson, a retired FBI agent, who was captured in Iran in 2007 while working for the CIA. The bureau askedRussian oligarch Oleg Deripaskato spend millions of his own dollars to fund the FBI-supervised operation.
Some may say they have heard the name Oleg Deripaska before – and they would be right. That is the same Deripaska who has surfaced in the Russia investigation and who was recently sanctioned by the Trump Administration.
Before the story proceeds, the Levinson mission, according to the report, has been confirmed by over a dozen “participants” both inside and outside the FBI. Deripaska, his lawyer, the family of Levinson, and the retired FBI agent that led the mission all confirmed the case, with Mueller being kept abreast of the proceedings.
In 2009, FBI agents courted Deripaska via a series of secret hotel meetings in Paris, Vienna, Budapest, Hungary, and Washington, D.C. Deripaska, an aluminum industry giant, was persuaded by the FBI to underwrite the mission, all with the promise that the billionaire’s operations and homeland remained unharmed.
“We knew he was paying for his team helping us, and that probably ran into the millions,” a U.S. official involved in the operation confirmed.
One of the agents who was integral in helping persuade Deripaska was none other thanAndrew McCabe. Yes, the same McCabe who played a seminal role in starting the Trump-Russia case and who was recently fired by President Trump just days before his retirement.
Deripaska’s lawyer said his client ultimately spent $25 million assembling a private search and rescue team that worked with Iranian contacts under the FBI’s watchful eye. Then in fall 2010, the operation secured an offer to free Levinson. However, the deal was abandoned when the State Department became uncomfortable with Iran’s terms, according to Deripaska’s lawyer and the Levinson family.
