Hello!
US government wiretapped former Trump campaign chairman
US investigators wiretapped former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort under secret court orders before and after the election, sources tell CNN, an extraordinary step involving a high-ranking campaign official now at the center of the Russia meddling probe.With a Picked Lock and a Threatened Indictment, Mueller’s Inquiry Sets a Tone:
The government snooping continued into early this year, including a period when Manafort was known to talk to President Donald Trump.
Some of the intelligence collected includes communications that sparked concerns among investigators that Manafort had encouraged the Russians to help with the campaign, according to three sources familiar with the investigation. Two of these sources, however, cautioned that the evidence is not conclusive.
Special counsel Robert Mueller's team, which is leading the investigation into Russia's involvement in the election, has been provided details of these communications.
A secret order authorized by the court that handles the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) began after Manafort became the subject of an FBI investigation that began in 2014. It centered on work done by a group of Washington consulting firms for Ukraine's former ruling party, the sources told CNN.
The surveillance was discontinued at some point last year for lack of evidence, according to one of the sources.
The FBI then restarted the surveillance after obtaining a new FISA warrant that extended at least into early this year.
Sources say the second warrant was part of the FBI's efforts to investigate ties between Trump campaign associates and suspected Russian operatives. Such warrants require the approval of top Justice Department and FBI officials, and the FBI must provide the court with information showing suspicion that the subject of the warrant may be acting as an agent of a foreign power. [...]
The White House declined to comment for this story. A spokesperson for Manafort didn't comment for this story.
Paul J. Manafort was in bed early one morning in July when federal agents bearing a search warrant picked the lock on his front door and raided his Virginia home. They took binders stuffed with documents and copied his computer files, looking for evidence that Mr. Manafort, President Trump’s former campaign chairman, set up secret offshore bank accounts. They even photographed the expensive suits in his closet.
The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, then followed the house search with a warning: His prosecutors told Mr. Manafort they planned to indict him, said two people close to the investigation.

Меня просто заинтересовало, откуда взялась ассоциация на Кобзона и его парик.
Так что же на голове у Трампа - импланты, парик или зачес на манер героя "American hustle"?
Дело Япончика вел агент ФБР Lester McNulty. В своих судебных показаниях он упомянул преступную деятельность Кобзона, а также его связь с другим вором в законе, Алимжаном Тохтахуновым по кличке Тайванчик.
Kobzon, Kikalishvili, and Kvantrishvili, giving bribes to a Russian customs official, received a special permit, exempting the joint venture Russo-American from payment of import duties on alcohol and tobacco products. In the guise of payment for security services, the joint venture pays Kobzon and Kikalishvili for customs services and for the "protection" that they give. (Another "secret source," "SS 2," in a conversation on 16 March 1995, indicated that Iosif Kobzon also heads operations on the import of bootlegged vodka, affixed with the labels of elite brands, into the United States.) ..."Secret Source No. 1" also reported a deal on the delivery of armaments and military equipment carried out by the Kobzon-Kikalishvili group. The weapons, including machine guns and antiaircraft systems, were delivered from Germany to one of the Arab countries. The cost of the deal amounted to $18-20 million. According to "Secret Source No. 1's" information, another participant in the deal was Alimzhan Tokhtakhunov ("Tayvanchik"), who worked with Kikalishvili and Kobzon in their company 21st Century Association, which, like the joint venture Russo-American, supplies tobacco and alcohol to Russia without payment of customs duties...

Тайванчик в свое время входил в первую десятку лиц, разыскиваемых ФБР. Как и Япончик, он проживал в Trump Tower в Нью-Йорке и проводили оттуда свои нелегальные операции. В 2013 ему удалось избежать ареста и скрыться из страны, чтобы вскоре объявиться в Москве. В том же году он был в числе VIP-гостей на привезенном Трампом в Москву конкурсе красоты Miss Universe.

Есть такая болезнь, когда мозг узнает какое-то словосочетание, и немедленно сливает всю информацию, которая всплыла по ассоциации.

Фильм "American hustle" сатирический, но основан на реальной истории - операции ФБР под кодовым названием Abscam, в результате которой были осуждены за коррупцию семь конгрессменов, не считая других персонажей. Эта операция демонстрирует особенности работы ФБР - они не поддаются политическому давлению и, обнаружив следы преступления, стремятся закинуть широкую сеть, чтобы по возможности выкорчевать всю преступную организацию. В расследовании Рашагейта одним Манафортом дело тоже не ограничится.

Как сатирически изображает фильм "American hustle", среди сотрудников ФБР встречаются странные персонажи. Операцией по аресту Иванькова-Япончика в 1995 руководил Джеймс Каллстром, в то время - директор отдела ФБР в Нью-Йорке.
"This is the most important arrest we have made in connection with expanding Russian organized-crime activities in the U.S.," Mr. Kallstrom said at a news conference. "These arrests will not put an end to their activities, but this is a big 16-inch round fired across their bow."
http://www.nytimes.com/1995/06/09/nyregion/reputed-russian-crime-chief-arrested.html
В 2016 Каллстром получил для своей ветеранской организации больше миллиона долларов от Трампа и отчаянно поддерживал того на выборах.
Kallstrom, whose exchanges with active agents about particular cases are as contrary to FBI policy as Giuliani’s, formally and passionately endorsed Trump this week on Stuart Varney’s Fox Business show, adding that Clinton is a “pathological liar.”
Kallstrom, who served as a Marine before becoming an agent, didn’t mention that a charity he’d founded decades ago and that’s now called the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation, was the single biggest beneficiary of Trump’s promise to raise millions for veterans when he boycotted the Iowa primary debate. A foundation official said that Trump’s million-dollar donation this May, atop $100,000 that he’d given in March, were the biggest individual grants it had ever received. The Trump Foundation had contributed another $230,000 in prior years and Trump won the organization’s top honor at its annual Waldorf Astoria gala in 2015.

Миллион долларов для организации Каллстрома Трамп выложил из своего кармана, но только после того, как попал под расследование Washington Post. Это знаменитое расследование, удостоенное Пулитцеровской премии, показало, что Трамп под видом благотворительности предпочитает раздавать деньги других людей.
Ныне он использует деньги других людей, чтобы оплачивать труд адвокатов, которые защищают его и его семью в Рашагейте.
U.S. President Donald Trump is using money donated to his re-election campaign and the Republican National Committee to pay for his lawyers in the probe of alleged Russian interference in the U.S. election, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters. Following Reuters exclusive report on Tuesday, CNN reported that the Republican National Committee paid in August more than $230,000 to cover some of Trump’s legal fees related to the probe.

В использовании денег других людей Трамп применяет нестандартные подходы.
"We'll lead the project like — it's called OPM. I do that all the time in business. It's called other people's money. There's nothing like doing things with other people's money."
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/09/20/trump-brags-about-using-other-peoples-money/
Если в деньгах RNC он запускает руки в фонд,созданный для легальных нужд республиканской партии, то неиспользованные деньги, собранные на церемонию своей инаугурации он, судя по всему, тупо прикарманил.
It’s a minor Washington tradition that unused funds from presidential inauguration events are donated to charity. But nearly eight months after Donald Trump’s swearing-in celebration, no donations have been made from its record-breaking inaugural fund, and where the money went is mysterious.
