CHRISTOPHER STEELE REPORTEDLY WORKED FOR SANCTIONED RUSSIAN OLIGARCH

1:15 PM 08/29/2018
Chuck Ross | Reporter

Dossier author Christopher Steele worked as a subcontractor for Oleg Deripaska, a Russian oligarch linked to Vladimir Putin, according to a new reportSteele facilitated a meeting in September 2015 between Deripaska and DOJ official Bruce Ohr, according to The HillSteele’s links to Deripaska have been one of the more puzzling aspects of the Trump-Russia probeChristopher Steele, the author of the infamous Trump dossier, worked as a contractor for Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska and facilitated a meeting between the billionaire and Department of Justice official Bruce Ohr.

Deripaska’s law firm hired Steele’s private intelligence group, Orbis Business Intelligence, in 2012 to conduct research for Deripaska as part of a lawsuit against the billionaire, according to The Hill.

Steele, a former MI6 officer with experience in Moscow, also facilitated a meeting in September 2015 between Deripaska and Ohr, the Justice Department official whose wife worked for Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm that hired Steele to compile the dossier.

FBI agents attended the meeting, which was aimed at getting Deripaska to provide information for organized crime investigations.

Steele’s relationship with Deripaska has remained a mystery for months, ever since Republican lawmakers hinted at a connection between the two. It has marked one of the stranger twists in the Trump-Russia saga given Steele’s work on the dossier, which alleges that the Kremlin conspired with President Donald Trump’s campaign to influence the 2016 election.

Deripaska, an aluminum magnate, is said to be a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The U.S. government also revoked his visa in 2006 because of suspected ties to Russian organized crime. Deripaska has traveled multiple times to the U.S. in recent years, The Hill reported.

Deripaska’s visa issues appear to have been a focus of Steele’s.

Steele emailed Ohr on Feb. 8, 2016 after the government had agreed to grant Deripaska a visa to travel to the U.S. later that month.

“As far as I’m concerned, this is good news all round although as before, it would be helpful if you could monitor it and let me know if any complications arise,” Steele wrote.

Ohr said that “to the extent I can I will keep an eye on the situation.”

Deripaska rarely dealt directly with Steele, according to The Hill’s sources. But Steele was on friendly terms with one of Deripaska’s attorneys.

At some point, Steele began meeting with Ohr to discuss a different matter — an investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government. Steele was hired by Fusion GPS in June 2016. He went on to compile 17 memos accusing various Trump campaign advisers of conspiring with the Kremlin.

The FBI used the unverified reports to obtain Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

FBI agents interviewed Deripaska in September 2016 about possible collusion, including whether former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was involved. Deripaska and Manafort had business ties stretching back more than a decade. During the campaign, they were locked in a legal battle over a failed cable TV company in Ukraine.

Deripaska’s links to Steele have generated speculation that Deripaska provided information that ended up in the dossier, either as a witting or unwitting source.

But Deripaska provided a statement to The Hill denying any involvement in the dossier.

“The latest reckless media chatter proposes that I had some unspecified involvement in the so-called dossier. Like most of the absurd fantasies and smears that ricochet across the internet, it is utterly false. I had absolutely nothing to do with this project, and I never had any knowledge of it until it was reported in the media and I certainly wasn’t involved in any activity related to it,” he told The Hill.

Anyone who watched TYT, and anyone who takes them seriously, should have to register as a foreign agent, or at least have their head examined. There is not a single purveyor of propaganda with a larger audience than the Young Turks. The DNC have spent a lot of money propping them up, not to mention the advantage they are given by Google and YouTube to spread their lies and misinformation.

DEMS bring on more violence->Castro Valley Man Assaults Republican Congressional Candidate With Switchblade

September 11, 2018 at 3:16 pm
Filed Under: Arrest, Attack, Castro Valley, Rep. Eric Swalwell, Republican candidate Randy Peters, Switchblade

CASTRO VALLEY (CBS SF) – The Alameda County Sheriff’s Department confirmed Tuesday that a suspect attempted to stab Republican congressional candidate Randy Peters with a switchblade over the weekend at the Castro Valley Fall Festival.

On Sunday, September 9, at approximately 3:45 p.m., Alameda County Sheriff’s Office deputies working at the Castro Valley Fall Festival were alerted to a possible knife attack at one of the vendor booths.

sDeputies arrived at the booth and made contact with the victim, Republican candidate Peters, who is running against current Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell for a local congressional seat.

The Castro Valley News first reported on the attack.

According to witnesses, 35-year-old Castro Valley resident Farzad Fazeli approached Peters at his booth in an aggressive manner and made disparaging, profanity-laced remarks about the Republican party and President Donald Trump.

During the incident, Fazeli allegedly pulled out a switchblade knife and attempted to stab Peters. The knife malfunctioned and the candidate became involved in a physical struggle with Fazeli.

The suspect then fled the scene, but was detained a short time later by deputies. He was found in possession of a switchblade knife.

Fazeli was arrested for felony assault, criminal threats, brandishing a weapon and possession of a switchblade knife and booked into Santa Rita Jail.

No one was seriously injured during the incident. The case has been forwarded to the District Attorney.

On Tuesday, Swalwell posted on Twitter about the attack, saying he was “glad to hear Mr. Peters is okay.” He also discouraged the use of violence in any disagreement, political or otherwise.

On Sunday, my opponent @PetersCongress was attacked at his campaign booth in Castro Valley. I’m glad to hear Mr. Peters is okay. But it’s NEVER okay to use violence to settle political disagreements (or any disagreement). Fortunately, @ACSOSheriffs arrested the suspect.

Ana Kasparian wants to pay an additional $13,000 a month in taxes. If Ana is the same bracket as Bernie Sanders she would be in the 26% income tax bracket. Bernie during town hall said bracket should be 52%. This would mean Ana would pay an additional 26% of income tax. Since Ana makes $50,000 a month. 26% of $50,000 is $13,000 a month. Ana Kasparian makes $600,000 per year ( see wikicelebinfo.com Currently, she lives in a posh apartment in Los Angeles. Ana Kasparian’s current estimated net worth is $2 million. Her monthly salary is $50,000 per month which sums up to become $600,000 per year.)


Pay your fair share Ana!!
