Dear MAGA: 20190201 Open Topic

oh my…”it’s not You, it’s me.” HILARIOUS!

I missed the moonpie as a kid. Probably because it was too easy to drop into the Mohawk Bakeshop for a freshly made jelly donut (or custard, real pastry creme) or tail light for 10 cents.
Mohawk Bakeshop is sadly closed, but same idea:

I’m not a big fan, but my hubby always has boxes of them in the cabinets. Chocolatey, and banana:-P

The beginning of this video has an interesting graphic about the presumption of guilt, or as William Browder advocates “reverse burden of proof”. Check out Browder’s recommended changes to banking including “reverse burden of proof” starting at 16:26.
Listening to this commie tell his tale is always interesting, IMO. This was his recent address to a committee of EU Parliament.
He has a slide that suggests that his information is the result of mutual legal assistance among 5 nations. How would he have access to this information? He claims that money from the Russian tax fraud can be traced to Russian black ops in Syria. Again, what is the source of his information?
Last thing on Browder…
In November 2018 the Russian Prosecutor General gave this briefing on the William Browder case:

from the briefing, and as reported by Llama blog:
https://jimmysllama.com/2018/11/20/11973/
…” According to Nikolai Atmonyev, an advisor to Russia’s General Prosecutor, Browder’s criminal organization was established in Russia in 1997, and it “aims to carry out serious economic crimes both on Russian territory and abroad.” Russian authorities are looking into companies located in Cyprus, Latvia, and Switzerland as part of their investigation. But what might be more troubling and reminiscent of the Boston bombings when FBI Director Robert Mueller ignored Russia’s warnings about Tamerlan Tsarnaev, is that Russian authorities contacted U.S. officials about Browder multiple times over the course of the last two years.
(translated)
“…we hope that the new leadership of the Justice Department will be more professional in assessing the activities of William Browder and will grant our request because besides the crimes that Browder committed here in Russia, we also have information about his crimes [that] Browder and his associates committed in the United States, damaging this country.
In May 2016, in Moscow US embassy staff were informed about the transnational criminal network led by Browder and Ziff brothers’ investments being involved in that criminal network. This meeting was attended…was organized…was attended by Chirstopher Grossman, Kate [unintelligible] and Scott [unintelligible].
In July 2016, we sent over 1,000 pages of materials about tax fraud and other financial crimes committed by Browder and the Ziff fund in Russia and the United States, we sent these, pages and pages of documents to the Justice Department but we have not received any reaction as of yet.
Also, we sent additional materials in Aug 2016. We also reminded that we had sent these materials four times to our American colleagues in Nov 2016 and Jan, March, and May 2017. We discussed these issues with the US Justice Department in a video conference call in 2016 and June 2017. We also relayed this information to Jeff Sessions who was the Attorney General until recently.”
If these dates are overlaid the timeline that we know of related to the counterintelligence investigation, events apparently have wider context.
Further from the Llama report:
…”The other thing to note here is that the U.S. embassy staff in Moscow were notified by the Russians about Browder’s alleged criminal network the month before the Trump tower meeting so feel free to dive into that can of worms. It certainly doesn’t prove anything but it does make the month of May 2016 a bit murkier than it already was; Fusion GPS received its first payment from Perkins Coie, Fusion hired Christopher Steele, and Robert Otto’s hacked State Department emails revealed that Bill Browder (or someone else) had been stalking Veselnitskaya’s home days before the Trump tower meeting.”…
Stunning that American Pravda isn’t touching this story.
