Irankly (Ike) Kaveladze, at the Trump Russian collusion meeting

"The eighth person who attended the infamous meeting at Trump Tower between Trump campaign officials and Kremlin-linked Russian nationals has been revealed.



The Washington Post reports that Ike Kaveladze, an American-based employee of a Russian real estate company, was also present at the meeting.

The Post confirmed with Kaveladze’s lawyer, Scott Balber, over this weekend that his client was at the meeting. Additionally, Balber revealed that a representative from special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation contacted him this past weekend asking him for the name of the eighth person who was present at the meeting, which took place last June 9.

Balber said that Kaveladze was at the meeting with Trump Jr. as an official representative of the Agalarov family, whose publicist, Rob Goldstone, arranged for the meeting.

“Balber said Kaveladze works as a vice president focusing on real estate and finance for the Agalarov’s company, the Crocus Group,” the Post reports. “Aras Agalarov requested that Kaveladze attend the meeting on his behalf, Balber said. Kaveladze is a U.S. citizen and has lived in this country for many years, according to Balber, who is said he is representing the man.”

According to the Post’s Aaron Blake, Kaveladze was at one point the “subject of a congressional inquiry into foreigners forming shell companies in 2000.”"

And a story from 2000, mentioning Kaveladze in connection with a money laundering investigation:

"Laundering Of Money Seen as 'Easy'
By RAYMOND BONNERNOV. 29, 2000

A Congressional inquiry has found that it is ''relatively easy'' for foreigners to hide their identities and form shell companies here that can launder money through American banks.

In a a nine-month inquiry that subpoenaed bank records, the investigators found that an unknown number of Russians and other East Europeans moved more than $1.4 billion through accounts at Citibank of New York and the Commercial Bank of San Francisco.

The accounts had been opened by Irakly Kaveladze, who immigrated to the United States from Russia in 1991, according to Citibank and Mr. Kaveladze. He set up more than 2,000 corporations in Delaware for Russian brokers and then opened the bank accounts for them, without knowing who owned the corporations, according to the report by the General Accounting Office, which has not been made public.

The report said the banks had failed to conduct any ''due diligence'' into identifying the owners of the accounts.

Late this afternoon, Citibank sent a 15-page letter to the G.A.O., saying that it had closed the accounts after being contacted by G.A.O. investigators earlier this year. . . ."

The gangsters called oligarchs and the government officials, from Putin on down, are really looting the hell out of Russia. They're all determined to hide their money overseas. Poor Russia.

Last week, Tucker Carlson was sucking up to Iran, saying they hadn't killed any Americans in America.

The words "in America" are real important for that claim.

The Khobar Towers bombing was a terrorist attack on part of a housing complex in the city of Khobar, Saudi Arabia, located near the national oil company ( Saudi Aramco) headquarters of Dhahran and nearby King Abdulaziz Air Base on June 25, 1996. .............. In 2006, a U.S. court found Iran and Hezbollah guilty of orchestrating the attack. [5]

The Marine barracks bombing in Lebanon was done by terrorists linked to Iran too.


Iran linked to deaths of 500 U.S. troops in Iraq, Afghanistan
