George Nader, Trump's onetime informal foreign policy adviser is sentenced to 10 yrs for child porn

BREAKING: George Nader, Trump's onetime informal foreign policy adviser for his '16 campaign (and later witness in the Mueller probe) is sentenced to 10 years for possessing child porn and transporting a minor for sex.




10 years seems like a light sentence for what he was charged with. Wonder how he managed that.

Let's remember that he cooperated with Muller, and there was this bit.

Report: Saudis, UAE funnelled millions to Trump 2016 campaign

Lebanese-American fugitive CEO claims Saudi Arabia and UAE had deal with Trump to cripple Iranian oil industry.

A Lebanese-American businessman accused of campaign finance violations by the United States Justice Department claimed in an interview with the United Kingdom's Spectator magazine that officials from Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia illegally funnelled millions of dollars into the 2016 campaign of US President Donald Trump.

Ahmad "Andy" Khawaja, the CEO of an online payment processing company, says Emirati officials disguised the money using stolen identities and gift cards as under-$200 campaign contributions that are not required to be reported to the Federal Election Commission.

Khawaja is currently a fugitive himself wanted for making false statements, obstruction and allegedly making $3.5m in illegal contributions to the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton. He was indicted along with George Nader, another Lebanese-American businessman and a convicted paedophile currently awaiting sentencing in the US, and six others in December of 2019 by a federal grand jury in Washington, DC.

Nader was a cooperating witness in the investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller into Russian interference in the 2016 election. According to Mueller's report, Nader was an influential power broker in the Middle East and an informal adviser to the crown prince of the United Arab Emirates and set up a meeting in the Seychelles in an effort to establish a backchannel between the Trump administration and the Kremlin in Moscow.

And the Trumpers are still howling about pizzagate. Everything they think Clinton and Soros and Bill Gates and so on are doing, Trump's people actually ARE doing.

And they just can't stop fantabulizing about 'the enemies' and seriously can't accept the reality that Trump is the cesspool of horrors they're imagining elsewhere.
