Anton Lunyk is a Russian ..... And he got a 9 second phone call from the White House on 1/6/21

[Botany]

Russian-speaking immigrant from New York was arrested for participating in the storming of the Capitol

https://newyork.forumdaily.com/en/russkoyazychnogo-immigranta-iz-nyu-jorka-arestovali-za-uchastie-v-shturme-kapitoliya/

According to court documents, Lunyk was arrested after a student who attended college with him saw a screenshot of a video of the storming of the Capitol posted on Twitter by the New York Post. This guy also provided law enforcement officers with the suspect's phone number and Instagram account information.

The tweet of the publication was about the white nationalist Tim Gionet, who was streaming the storming of the Capitol; Lunyk could be seen in the background of his recording.

*******
Tell me again that there was no connection between Trump and Russia.

[dalton99a]

1. "The history of his immigration has not yet been found"

[Botany]

2. And Brooklyn just happens to be the home for the Russian Mafia in America.

Malcom Nance, “Coincidence takes a lot of planning.”

[Baitball Blogger]

6. Hmmm...

I wonder if there is a direct connection between the Russian mafia in the US and Putin.

Would be interesting if Trump started with the Russian Mafia, and later connected with Putin.

[Botany]

10. One of Trump's few businesses that made money was laundering dirty Russian money through ...

.... his real estate and Michael Cohen's uncle owned the club in Brooklyn which was
"home base" for the Russian Mafia.

BTW Putin IS RUSSIAN MAFIA and he had been grooming Trump since the 1990s.

[calimary]

56. I think it was Eric Trump who once gushed about all the Russian money

flowing into trump’s pockets. This was before daddy ran for President.

Never heard another word about that.

[czarjak]

53. Bet the ranch!

[gab13by13]

3. He did get 1 year probation.

[liberalmuse]

4. I hope he is avoiding stairs and high-rise windows.

Wow.

[Baitball Blogger]

9. Well, he knows who made the call.

I would be surprised if he wasn't bugged and our side knows who called him. We just need to do it in a legal way.

[gab13by13]

15. Mark Meadows is the one who needs to avoid stairs and high-rise windows.

[empedocles]

5. Good fine Bo!

Veddy interesin'

[triron]

7. Ha ha

[Quakerfriend]

8. Wow, interesting info.

I’d be surprised if they didn’t find additional charges.

Perhaps he will suddenly recall who called him from the WH!

[gab13by13]

11. Someone time me,

"Hey Anton, traitor Pence called out the National Guard, abort the mission."

[Botany]

14. He did leave early and went back to Brooklyn on 1/6/21

I betya Anton will either be leaving the United States ASAP and or fall out of a window into a bag
of vipers and glass. He is without a doubt a loose end and Putin does not like loose ends.

[Farmer-Rick]

16. He doesn't want to go back to Russia

And be conscripted to die for Putin's war.

Safer and easier to be a Russian spy in the US.

[spanone]

12. K&R

[Lonestarblue]

13. I don't recall seeing information on what time the call was made.

Nine seconds isn’t long enough for a conversation, so the timing could be important as a prearranged signal from someone in the WH.

[gab13by13]

17. I believe it was shortly after

Trump made his video telling everyone to go home.

[Lonestarblue]

19. So maybe a quick call from someone to say "Get out now. The National Guard is coming."

I really hope we find out who made that call.

[mjvpi]

18. It was right around when Trump tweeted for everyone to go home.

[wishstar]

49. It was around 4:20 right after Trump tweeted for them to go home

[Ford_Prefect]

20. Well there is that little thing that Roger stone did for Vlad...Just sayin'

[secondwind]

21. Trump owes Putin 300-400 million dollars.

Of course there’s a connection, several connections!!

[gab13by13]

22. Posting about the pee tapes

used to get one a hide, not any more.

[countingbluecars]

23. Hope they checked him out

in connection to bombs that were planted on Jan 6th.

[Mr. Ected]

25. Would be interesting to compare his physique and gait to the bomber's on tape

My money is still on MTG, though.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

28. MTG would not have the intelligence or self-discipline to manage what the bomber did and keep quiet.

[Mr. Ected]

30. You're probably right, but she sure does make a splendid super villain

Let a boy have his dream.

[Mr. Ected]

24. Honestly, will we ever really know the depth of the Russian/GOP connection?

Too many VIP's across the spectrum that would be implicated. Constitutional crisis kind of stuff, on steroids. What do you do when one of your two major political parties is institutionally corrupt and records bear it out?

If not for the propaganda machines being alive and well in the USA, we might hear some truth. But this one is so all-encompassing, I think it'll be treated like the JFK assassination.

America schmerica.

[PufPuf23]

36. The GOP will probably never know much less admit how compromised by Russians via cash, investments,

ownership of media, etc. The American oligarch differs little from and some cavort with Russian oligarchs.

The NRA example is blatantly amusing but of little consequence unfortunately.

[Beastly Boy]

26. He may be Ukrainian. Or Moldovan. Or Estonian. Anyway, he must have been 16 when he attended the

Edward Murrow High School in Midwood, Brooklyn.

If that's the extent of Trump's Putin or Russian mafia connection, it's pitiful.

My guess is he is American. Either natural born or naturalized a long time ago.

[Qutzupalotl]

29. Trump has been groomed by the Russian mafiya for decades.

This is by no means “the extent of Trump's Putin or mafia connection.”

[Beastly Boy]

34. And Trump's ties with the Russian mafia do not reflect on Lunyk at all, do they?

[Qutzupalotl]

37. Unknown, but Lunyk is by no means the extent of Trump's ties to Russia. nt

[Beastly Boy]

50. My point exactly.

A two-bit punk from Midwood does not even begin to tie Trump to the Russian oligarchs.

[Qutzupalotl]

52. Trump is already tied to Russian oligarchs, is my point.

He's entangled, even.

It sounds like you're saying Trump wasn't before this, but he definitely is.

[Beastly Boy]

54. Just the opposite.

I am saying that Trump has been tied to Russian oligarchs for so long and to such extent that a two bit punk from Midwood is an insignificant and a hardly relevant spec by comparison.

[70sEraVet]

32. In the article, "Judging by the man's name, he comes from one of the post-Soviet countries...."

I did a search of the Lunyk family name on familysearch.org, and even going back a few centuries, before most people travelled very far from their home villages, the Lunyk name is all across Eastern Europe -- Russia, Ukraine, Prussia, Austria, etc.

[AKwannabe]

27. So, Russian immigrants are fine for Republicans

Must be white skin related??? Fuck the Russians!
Send THOSE ASSHOLES back to where they came from!

Wtf?

[Beastly Boy]

35. Lunyk appears to be. Can't speak for the rest of Russian immigrants.

Not even sure they are all assholes. Or what skin color they may be (a whole lot of the Russian soldiers featured on MSM appear to be yellow-skinned or central-Asian type olive-skinned).

[rockfordfile]

45. Any Russian anybody that attacks our country is a pos.

Lunyk is a asshole

[Beastly Boy]

47. Agreed It's not just Russians. We have plenty of red blooded American assholes attacking our country

Some of these assholes, like Lunyk (or Lev Parnas, for example), happen to speak Russian.

[SergeStorms]

31. Maybe Trump butt dialed him?

Of course Trump could dial every cellphone in New York City with his gigantic butt.



.

[blue-wave]

33. Russian Mafia? Likely

And don't forget, Putin got his start in this world with the help of the Russian mafia. Connect the dots. They are all connected.

[LymphocyteLover]

38. WHAT A COINCIDENCE!!!

not....

fucking traitors! Lock them all up!

[LymphocyteLover]

39. weird source for the article-- it shows Russian language for posting comments

[muriel_volestrangler]

40. It's not surprising that "the leading news site of Russian-speaking America" had the only story

about a guy in the news being a Russian speaker in America. It would be unusual for any other site to note that he speaks Russian. In fact, they don't seem to have evidence that he speaks Russian; only that his name is a Russian one. They say he's an immigrant, but we know (see above) that he went to high school in New York, so any implication is really that he was 'recruited' by Russia at some stage. Which, frankly, could be said about most MAGAs.

The interesting thing about him is that someone from the White House phoned him. Not what language he may speak.

[LymphocyteLover]

41. Thanks, I didn't realize that about the source.

Would like to see this verified elsewhere.

44. Russia was in the Capitol January 6.

The open-source intelligence group Blue Hatz posted this side-by-side image comparison that they say proves Charles Bausman was inside the U.S. Capitol building during the Jan. 6 insurrection.



Jan. 6 Video Suggests 'Russia Insider' Entered Capitol

By Michael Edison Hayden
SPLC, September 23, 2021


Russia Insider founder Charles Bausman breached the walls of the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, according to research conducted by a Europe-based open-source intelligence (OSINT) group into video captured during the insurrection.

The findings by the OSINT group build on Hatewatch reporting showing that Bausman traveled to Washington, D.C., on the day of the insurrection, then disappeared from his home in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and reemerged in Moscow. In the months since, he has served as a talking head on Russian television, commenting on American affairs with a reactionary point of view. Hatewatch previously noted that Bausman claimed on a Russian Orthodox Christian-themed television station to have stopped short at the Capitol’s balustrades without entering the building. Footage obtained by the OSINT group, in which a man bearing a strong resemblance to Bausman is visible inside the Capitol, appears to contradict his account.

The OSINT group, whose members choose to remain anonymous, goes by the name “Blue Hatz.” A person who operates a Twitter account associated with the group described them to Hatewatch as “an independent international team of 15 ‘OSINTers’ and investigators from Europe, Russia, Ukraine and US” who have been using found footage to identify those who breached the Capitol building on Jan. 6. In the Russian television interviews, Bausman claims to be a journalist covering the events of Jan. 6, rather than a pro-Trump demonstrator. But the man the OSINT group believes to be Bausman – shown in side-by-side images in a tweet they published – can be seen wearing a red, Trump-branded hat, blending in with other supporters of the 45th president inside a hallway. The video shows the man strolling and taking video with his cell phone as rioters move through the Capitol building.

57. I'd be shocked if Putin wasn't a part of the plot to overthrow the US govt.

[rockfordfile]

46. DOJ wanted jail time but Lunyk cooperated as a witness in unrelated fed investigation

[Botany]

48. "but Lunyk cooperated as a witness in unrelated fed investigation"

Let me guess that it was about the Russian mob in Brooklyn.

[rockfordfile]

51. yeah lunyk was good help ;)

[kentuck]

55. He could have been a friend of Boris's?

Boris was always close to Trump.
