It's Fitzmas!!!Russian Money Trail Tied to McConnell, Cruz, Rubio, McCain, and RNC

[dixiegrrrrl]

Scott Dworkin, Co-founder of the Democratic Coalition, recently released over 200 legally obtained Trump documents. After sifting through the them, Dworkin has put together a money trail using the documents that ties Russian money to several top Republican leaders.

The information therein is quite damning for the GOP stalwarts involved, and also further paints an incriminating picture of the Trump administration as related to possible Russian collusion.

Those who aren’t coming out of this looking good include the entire Republican National Committee, Senator Ted Cruz, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, Senator John McCain, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, among others.

HERE is link to his Twitter page, all sorts of wonderful news there, for instance:

Tax Doc: Ivanka Trump had 2 tax liens placed on her jewelry company for $320,310.53-for not paying taxes-in 2015

1. That link is a pop-up nightmare. nt

[4139]

3. Thanks for the warning!

[dixiegrrrrl]

4. I did not get any pop ups from it, and I read it daily.

Maybe depends on one's privacy settings.

[trof]

25. Is it legit?

I respect your opinion.

[dixiegrrrrl]

60. Seems to be. He is known in the dem world

and publishes a LOT of info. that he has discovered re: Trump and etc.

For some reason a lot of people seem to automatically reject any info. that is on Twitter., even when it links to valid sources and/or info.
I use Twitter now to get all sorts of news and info., by choosing who-what is in my feed.
30 minutes browsing in am and pm keeps me pretty up to date.

[trof]

82. Thanks.

[Grins]

80. I didn't get them either. (N/M)

13. This link should go into an OP

for more visibility. I normally don't read too deeply into most twitter feeds. This one I did.

Thanks for posting.

[dixiegrrrrl]

18. dunno what you clicked on, but I did post the correct link,

just tested it, it goes right to Dorkin's twitter feed.

[L. Coyote]

28. Yes you did. Just wanted to make sure that other post wasn't detouring traffic.

The post complaining about the pop-up from the other link in the Op.

#TrumpLeaks hashtag is also meritorious. https://twitter.com/hashtag/TrumpLeaks

Smart move!

[joet67]

51. thank you. I wasn't trying to detour traffic.

thank you. I wasn't trying to detour traffic.I literally clicked it and add couple dozen pop-ups came up, but I'm on my tablet instead of my phone or the computer. I will have to update.

15. Is this also related to the tweet from May 11 ?

https://mobile.twitter.com/jemillerwbal/status/862714093899325440

"FBI confirms agents are executing a search warrant at the office of GOP Fundraiser/Consulting firm in Annapolis"
12:00 PM · May 11, 2017

It would show the beginning of the investigation into McConnell's money trail may have eventually outed the others.
More will follow these crooks.
Doesn't this now make them all "complicit"?



Is this what caused the prediction of possible " President Hatch ".
I love it when the whole picture begins to unfold

[L. Coyote]

56. Definitely a possibility. Ukranian money flowing to the Republicans is laundered Russian money

in all probability, and possibly laundered Russian mob money.

I wonder, Do they want to break up the USA too, and hold a fire sale for billionaires only?

57. Something weird?? just happened. I searched Annapolis search warrant in Twitter, found the DU page:

And noticed the weird URL. It is a domain registered to: Alexander Khromov, Profsouznaya 138, RU-117213 Moscow

Why is a domain in Moscow delivering DU pages?

[flying_wahini]

79. That's interesting. hmmmmm?

How could anyone figure that out?

[AntiFascist]

69. Background info on Deutsche Bank...

http://fortune.com/2017/02/16/donald-trump-deutsche/

The Guardian quoted Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr., a Democrat member of the House Ways and Means Committee, as saying: “I think it’s important for the American people to know the extent of the bank’s involvement with the president, and whether there is any Russian involvement in loans made to Mr. Trump.”
In Deutsche's recent settlement with the NY DFS and U.K. regulators, there was no suggestion of any link between the so-called Russian "mirror trades" and the president or his family. However, in the context of the furor over National Security Adviser Michael Flynn's departure, and the ongoing controversy over alleged Russian hacking of the DNC and Clinton campaign officials, the temptation for Trump's political opponents to put two and two together and come up with something considerably more than four has become irresistible. Pascrell noted that Deutsche is still under investigation by the Department of Justice over the Russian trades.

Also, could this be why he answers to the Russians, because their investments help to keep his empire afloat?

http://fortune.com/2016/09/26/donald-trumps-tax-returns-debt/

More than one commentator has speculated that should Trump's tax returns surface, they could reveal him to be worth dramatically less than he proclaims.

Wouldn't it be remarkable if the tycoon, who was claiming even in his darkest days in the 1990s to be worth over $1 billion, was admitting to the IRS that he was really not just dead broke, but hugely under water? And that a special escape provision called "insolvency"—a place Trump has never publicly confessed to being—saved him a bundle in taxes?

[CatWoman]

10. try Adblock

[Eyeball_Kid]

52. Jeez... Just go to Dworkin's twitter feed.

[sarcasmo]

84. I couldn't use the Internet without an Ad-Blocker.

[joet67]

87. Normally I am on an Apple device,

and don't need one, but I happened to be on my Kindle tablet. Apparently I missed adding one, which I have since corrected.

[NCjack]

2. Sen. McCain is an escape artist. Slick as snot dripping on a door nob,

Last edited Wed May 24, 2017, 04:34 PM - Edit history (1)

he got out of the Keating-5 mess.

[elmac]

8. i noticed that mccain has been a little quiet lately

maybe he is waiting for another shoe to drop.

[panader0]

6. I'll e-mail McCain again, but he never answers me anyway.

[Demtexan]

7. The whole party sold out.

Not a big surprise.

[Tiggeroshii]

9. Well that's enough people to throw in prison and potentially give democrats control?

Maybe?

[Lil Missy]

89. NOT ENOUGH!!! Fill up ALL the Private Prisons with them!!

[sheshe2]

11. Just keep following the money.

[nycbos]

12. Blue dot daily?

How is this a reputable source.


This headline seems too good to be true.

----------------
I've seen their link several times. Seems a useful site in "moving the message" online. I see nothing there makes me suspicious.
A lot of annoying ads but that's necessary when needing to build a site.

[womanofthehills]

74. Dworkin was recently on AM Joy discussing Flynn - MSNBC

MSM seems to think he is pretty reliable if they are asking for his views.

I follow Dworkin on Twitter. He has about 150 thousand followers on Twitter.

[NewJeffCT]

14. Didn't Fitzmas end up being disappointing?

Only Scooter Libby charged, and his sentence was commuted by Bush...

[dixiegrrrrl]

19. This is TRUMP Fitzmas! The very best!! Better than other Fitzmas'!! Bigly!! n/t

[malaise]

24. ROFL

[progressoid]

73. Bwahaaaahahaha.

[L. Coyote]

34. Because fools believed a Bush Republican investigating Bush and Cheney was going to be Christmas

Fool me once ....

Link to tweet

[NewJeffCT]

45. I know

I saw some articles that had the money trail leading to Ryan, Rubio, etc. Then, another article criticizing liberals for believing fake news like that.

[calimary]

49. Yeah, I do believe that's what happened.

We got crumbs. The major offenders got away with it.

As for Scooter Libby, at least he didn't get pardoned. I remember being worried about that. Surprisingly, dubya left it alone. There was a nice little bit of backspin to that, too. On their way out, evidently, dick cheney was upset that GWB wasn't going to pardon Scooter Libby. Snarled that he'd "left a man on the field." Yeah, like using a militaryesque reference as a metaphor, for "poor," "wronged" Scooter Libby meant you'd served your country with distinction, worn her uniform, and put yourself in harm's way like the REAL military does. But, full disclosure - I've never served either, and this opinion is held by someone who believes bush/cheney are guilty of war crimes and were never held to account.

[beachbum bob]

16. Fake news...until we see it on real news sites.

[dixiegrrrrl]

20. Yeah..I agree. you should wait till it comes a real news org. Like Fox..

or CNN.

Oh..Dworkin has been on the MSM news talking about what he is finding......you probably missed seeing it.

[mhw]

23. Thanks. Good point

[Bradical79]

39. He put all the docs are online

So I figure we'll start seeing confirmations relatively soon as other journalists dig into it.

[DrDan]

76. exactly - sketchy site, at best

but it does rile up some of our folks

[furtheradu]

17. WOW. Kick & Rec!

I had a feeling, when all those republikers changed to "endorsing" trump. $!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

22. Fitzmas?

You expect this whole thing to fizzle out? I hope not.

[progressoid]

70. Yeah, I thought this was going to be an ironic OP.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

72. Alas, it's not.

[Nictuku]

26. Does it include Orrin Hatch?

[getting old in mke]

38. AKA President Last Gopper Standing

[Nictuku]

41. Designated Survivor...

I read somewhere that at the last Joint Session where Trump spoke to congress and the SCOTUS, that Orrin Hatch /was/ the designated survivor.

The irony...

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

43. I do not believe so at this point...

... hence the mentions that when all is said and done, we got President Orrin Hatch, via the line of succession/power/stature...

[ffr]

27. This just gets worse for everyone affiliated with the KGOP day by day.

[Still In Wisconsin]

29. All I got for Fitzmas...

was a lousy Scooter. So, I hope it's not Fitzmas again.

[dixiegrrrrl]

61. LOL!

Maybe some Trump vodka this year.

( the story about THAT failure is unbelievable, till you realize that everyone involved, including Trump, were talking a lot and not actually DOING anything to make the product!)

[Gman]

30. Calling it Fitzmas will jinx it

Besides, the guy that coined that term is gone from here. We shall see what happens.

[trueblue2007]

31. ASTOUNDING !!! Tax Doc: Ivanka Trump had 2 tax liens placed on her jewelry company for $320,310.53

[dixiegrrrrl]

62. People are finally seeing thru the facade of Trump/Kushner bs.

Her book has been strongly panned, and with good reason. She and Kushner both talk a good game, but there is not much behind it.
Cannot put my finger on why, but when I see pics of her, and her Kush, they look totally one dimensional. Like the whole damn family is actually in Westworld.

[madinmaryland]

32. Major indictments coming down in 24 hours (business hours)!!

[furtheradu]

33. KICK for more exposure.

Thanks, DixieGirl!

[FailureToCommunicate]

35. K & R

[Bradical79]

36. He put all the documents online

So it shouldn't be long before others start confirming what he's found (or poke holes in it). Anyone here got the time (and ability) to undertake the task?

Very good work getting these docs and making them available for everyone. Pretty interesting.

[Dopers_Greed]

37. I'm skeptical of the source

But if true, this is YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE

[Volaris]

68. Yep. And if there's so much as a sentence that says they knew beforehand,

Then this is EASILY a rico case, with the President, his aides AND HIS CHIEF OF STAFF AND THE RNC HE WAS THEN RUNNING right at the center of it.

The ruin of the GOP as we have known it is very nearly at hand. McConnell, Ryan will be sweet enougb, but to take down Cruz and Rubio...those are the 2 loons the morAns want to vote for when Trump is out/done, it will leaving them with NO OPTIONS.

[Equinox Moon]

40. I had a dream a couple nights ago that 100 people will be indicted!

[onecent]

42. K & R

THIS is the best news!!!!!!
I hope the damn Vice President took some money...

[Eyeball_Kid]

54. At a minimum, Pence is on the receiving end of a RICO indictment.

This scandal, this coup, is so expansive, it touches nearly everyone in the GOP leadership structure. They were all on the take.

[onecent]

65. Thanks Eyeball Kid!!! Glad to hear this.

[LovingA2andMI]

44. Would Trust Dworkin before anything from Mencsh

As for the site, it is questionable, however, it better to publish there than to try and release the documents on Twitter bit by bit.

Dworkin should be considered a trusted source.

[C Moon]

46. I guess we'll know it's true if they try to take down DU again.

[lindysalsagal]

47. Where/how did these records come out? From where? Are they verified?

I don't want to click the link if there are pop-ups.

[cstanleytech]

50. If its true it would provide a very good reason for them stonewalling any investigation into Russian

activity during and after the elections because it could have uncovered it but again thats if its true and if it is true I hope it will eventually lead to criminal charges against them.

[furtheradu]

53. I BELIEVE.

& kick with thanks & big HOPE.

[not fooled]

55. And Lyin' Ryan the grinning sociopath

please let him, too, be implicated.

[wildeyed]

58. Calling it Fitzmas is not making me more excited about this.

That was a nothingburger.

[intheflow]

59. Seriously! I was going to post the same thing.

Don't curse this investigation by comparing it to that one.

[dixiegrrrrl]

64. I misinterpeted the use of the word..sorry. n/t

[liberalla]

63. Posting to read later. Sounds really good! Thank you!

[Lucinda]

66. KNR Thank you!

[Tursiops]

67. With apologies to Sufjan, That was the Worst Fitzmas Ever. Hopefully this one

will be the real deal. Thanks for the news.

[blue-wave]

71. Please be true!

How far do we have to go in the line of succession to get to a democrat?

[BSdetect]

75. k&r

[bresue]

77. Difficulty reading Scott's documents.

I am not a Twitter wizard and cannot zoom in the documents to read. Is there a separate webpage with these documents uploaded? Can someone give me advise? I would like to read and research many of the documents, but cannot because font is too small. When I right click over image, copy and paste to Microsoft word and then enlarges in Word....the font becomes fuzzy.

[dixiegrrrrl]

85. Some images are going to remain fuzzy, sadly.

I A click on a document to make it open in a new window, then use ctrl and + keys to enlarge the doc. even fuzzy docs can sometimes be read if they font is big enough.

[Ligyron]

78. K to the R!

If this is true it's very big. Dworkin has been a reliable source in the past.

We'll see...

[dchill]

81. K&R.

[berksdem]

83. not holding my breath here...

but dear lord please let this be true!!

[csziggy]

86. Direct link to the cache of document images

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BziqO0UMlQeYWThiQlQwVUQ0UEk

NONE of them are labeled, they are just listed with the IMG#. It will take some sifting to find out the juiciest bits.

ETA - it appears there are over 500 images in the cache.

[furtheradu]

88. Kick for more eyes!

Important stuff!
