"Notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy"

Искусство предвосхищает реальность. Нашу печальную реальность.

Президент США на арене:

Statements are made about me by certain people in the Crazy Mueller Report, in itself written by 18 Angry Democrat Trump Haters, which are fabricated & totally untrue. Watch out for people that take so-called “notes”, when the notes never existed until needed. Because I never....

О евреях и поляках

Иногда мне не нравится, то, что пишет npubop, а иногда нравится, но вот это просто отлично, я считаю:

Из-за пробок в кои-таки веки проехался в метро

Из подслушанной перепалки:
- Та ваш Порошенко жидяра!
- Ебать! А Зеленский тогда кто???
- Зеленский - поляк, он сам сказал

По-моему, это одна из лучших записей в ЖЖ за всю его историю.

О "criminal fucking conspiracy"

У rsokolov сегодня запись о, в общем, том же. Она начинается словами "Просто чтобы было понятно, чему сегодня радуются поклонники Трампа".

Немного подробнее об эпизоде, о котором пишет rsokolov. Просто чтобы лучше понятно было, чему сегодня радуются поклонники Трампа.

1. After his Russia if you're listening presser, Trump asks Flynn to get Clinton's deleted emails

2. Flynn reaches out to several people, incl Peter W. Smith

3. Smith raises money, hires staff to do this

4. Smith represents he's in contact w Russian hackers

5. ... but it's BS.

Barr has written that if any Americans had joined the Russian hackers' conspiracy to influence the US elections, that would be a federal crime. Trump and Flynn here did everything you would do to join that conspiracy. The only saving grace was their bumblefuck intermediary.

After candidate Trump stated on July 27, 2016, that he hoped Russia would “find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” Trump asked individuals affiliated with his Campaign to find the deleted Clinton emails.264 Michael Flynn — who would later serve as National Security Advisor in the Trump Administration — recalled that Trump made this request repeatedly, and Flynn subsequently contacted multiple people in an effort to obtain the emails.265

Barbara Ledeen and Peter Smith were among the people contacted by Flynn. Ledeen, a long-time Senate staffer who had previously sought the Clinton emails, provided updates to Flynn about her efforts throughout the summer of 2016.266 Smith, an investment advisor who was active in Republican politics, also attempted to locate and obtain the deleted Clinton emails. [...]

Just weeks after Trump’s July 2016 request to find the Clinton emails, however, Smith tried to locate and obtain the emails himself. He created a company, raised tens of thousands of dollars, and recruited security experts and business associates. Smith made claims to others involved in the effort (and those from whom he sought funding) that he was in contact with hackers with “ties and affiliations to Russia” who had access to the emails, and that his efforts were coordinated with the Trump Campaign.273

On August 28, 2016, Smith sent an email from an encrypted account with the subject “Sec. Clinton’s unsecured private email server” to an undisclosed list of recipients, including Campaign co-chairman Sam Clovis. The email stated that Smith was “[j]ust finishing two days of sensitive meetings here in DC with involved groups to poke and probe on the above. It is clear that the Clinton’s home-based, unprotected server was hacked with ease by both State-related players, and private mercenaries. Parties with varying interests, are circling to release ahead of the election." [...]

Smith drafted multiple emails stating or intimating that he was in contact with Russian hackers. For example, in one such email, Smith claimed that, in August 2016, KLS Research had organized meetings with parties who had access to the deleted Clinton emails, including parties with “ties and affiliations to Russia.”286 The investigation did not identify evidence that any such meetings occurred. Associates and security experts who worked with Smith on the initiative did not believe that Smith was in contact with Russian hackers and were aware of no such connection.287 The investigation did not establish that Smith was in contact with Russian hackers or that Smith, Ledeen, or other individuals in touch with the Trump Campaign ultimately obtained the deleted Clinton emails.
