Robert Mueller Is Using The Foreign Agents Registration Act To Take Down Trump’s Russia Crew

A letter accompanying a subpoena of an associate of Mike Flynn’s Turkish client suggests that Russia probe Special Counsel Robert Mueller is investigating violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), violations of which have a maximum sentence of five years in prison.

An associate of the man who hired Trump’s former National Security Adviser Mike Flynn as a lobbyist was subpoenaed by team Muller, ProPublica reported Friday. The letter accompanying the subpoena indicates to legal expert Renato Mariotti that Mueller is investigating violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).

“The special counsel wanted to question a Turkish businessman with interests in Turkey, Russia and the U.S. — and ties to people with criminal records,” Isaac Arnsdorf reported.

“The special prosecutor investigating Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election has subpoenaed an associate of Gen. Michael Flynn’s Turkish lobbying client. The subpoena, a copy of which was obtained by ProPublica, ordered Sezgin Baran Korkmaz to testify before a grand jury in Washington on Sept. 22.


“The grand jury is conducting an investigation of possible violations of federal criminal laws involving the Foreign Agents Registration Act, among other offenses,” a letter accompanying the subpoena stated.

The letter is signed by Robert Mueller and Zainab Ahmad, a senior assistant special counsel who specializes in prosecuting terrorism. Korkmaz did not respond to requests for comment.”

The more Mueller puts the squeeze on Flynn, the worse things look for the big fish in the White House, if he in fact did collude with Russia against the United States of America in hopes of getting elected President.

...Flynn behind bars. Hillary should send him a nice note saying she hopes he will think about his crimes and be a better person upon release.
