Quote:

.....Mr. Tawil previously denied the accusations of his affiliation with western intelligence agencies but with recent inflammatory comments by Mr. Papadopoulos, including an offer to Congress to inspect the $10,000 in the belief that it would lead back to the Obama administration, Mr. Tawil struck a more direct tone in an exclusive interview with this reporter.

Quote:

---

"The guy is a pathetic liar" Mr. Tawil said of Mr. Papadopoulos. "I met him when he was out of a job and offered him a job and gave him, on his demand, a loan, cash as he requested because he did not have an account in Europe."

---

Quote:

---

"He mentioned that I am working with Mossad or the FBI or some crap like this. He is a lunatic"

---

The $10,000, per Mr. Tawil, was a loan on the request of Mr. Papadopoulos who was seeking to extend his European honeymoon with his new wife, Simona Mangiante. Mr. Papadopoulos has previously stated that the payment was insisted upon by Mr. Tawil, a claim that the Israeli-American denies vehemently.

Mr. Tawil continued, "I have copies of emails and WhatsApp communication with George that can prove that he is a liar. Instead of thanking me, he is trying to drag me in his mud.".....

Mr. Tawil also raised concerns, entirely unprompted, about Mr. Papadopoulos's wife, Simona Mangiante. Mr. Tawil and the couple met in the Mykonos in 2017 shortly before the payment occurred. "She has a very shady past," Mr. Tawil said. "She did not have a salary yet she lived in a $1.5 million apartment in London?".....

Charles Tawil responds to Papadopoulos.

Why not just show us the promissory note, or did he loan 10,000 on a handshake to a guy he barely knew?

Worth a read.

At this point, I'll believe it when I see it.

The above is a long detailed article by the NYTs from Sunday. It highlights Oleg Deripaska and his current US sanctions and pending sanctions. It's an important ongoing scenario which potentially could have major ramifications in Washington and London, not to mention the Mueller investigation and, of course, our relations with Russia. After reading it, you may then want to read the thread below for the real perspective on the situation. You can't accomplish this in 5 minutes...be prepared to spend a least 20 minutes.

There's an additional tweet with text messages embedded. Interesting.

Well if the Dems have backed off the collusion and were hanging their hat on getting Roger Stone that is looking like if fell flat.

An interesting thread, updated to today, by one of our own.

It's very misleading he pled to 18 USC 1001. He hasn't been cleared of that nor has he been sentenced yet. But he was never charged with "collusion" since there is no such crime in this application nor was he guilty of the Logan Act, as Sally Yates lied about

I didn't know the particulars, so I posted without comment for the board.

Now midterms are over, release the hounds?

I hope so.

I think it was too risky to do it before the midterms, but between now and 1/1/2019, please go scorched earth.

OORRRR will he use this stuff as a sword to hold over some heads to get what he wants out of them? Pelosi, et al. talk a big game, but what they value most is power. Can Trump use this to get them to vote his way on some things?

Agreed and he should also threaten to release who used the Congressional slush fund to pay off sexual assault victims. That should whip some people in line.

A lot of them are probably gone now given the number of retirements.

True, but we still have the right to know who used our money for their own purposes.

Whitaker will takeover the Mueller investigation once it clears the ethics check office.

The mental gymnastics on this should be fabulous, and interesting to see all of the folks on the Left and in the media who falsely criticized Jeff Sessions over Russia collusion coverup and maligned him as a racist now defend him.

Comey 2.0

They are already doing it...

Whit looks like he still has a little grit in him. In 2017 he recommended a Special Prosecutor to investigate the HRC mess, but was pushed to the side because he was the FNG.

Well, I said this in the Sessions thread I started, but I admit defeat. Sessions and Trump were not rope a doping everyone. I was wrong
