If you\u2019re looking for a hint as to what the Annapolis raid is focused on, you may need look no further than the FBI\u2019s own official verified Twitter account.<\/p>\n<p>At what appears to have been nearly the exact same time FBI agents began carrying out the Annapolis raid, the official @FBI Twitter account posted the following tweet: \u201cAsset forfeiture is used to disrupt, dismantle &amp; deter those who prey on the vulnerable for financial gain\u201d\u00a0 In general terms, RICO laws are typically used to crack down on money laundering and carry out asset forfeiture of those associated with organized financial crimes. If you\u2019re unwilling to believe the timing of this tweet was a coincidence, then the FBI just sent a rather thinly veiled message.<\/p>\n<p>Palmer Report has previously reported that one of the FBI\u2019s cases focused on Donald Trump is a RICO case against Trump and his Russian financial associates.<\/p>\n<p>So if today\u2019s action is indeed the FBI\u2019s response to Trump\u2019s abrupt firing of FBI Director James Comey, then it stands to reason that the Republican firm raided today is suspected of being tied to Trump and money laundering \u2013 although to be clear the FBI has made no official statement about the raid beyond its cryptic tweet.<br \/>\nA RICO ( The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) case is being considered against the Republican party for laundering Russian money.<\/p>\n<p>These sources say that Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah, who was the \u2018Designated Survivor\u2019 at the inauguration of Donald Trump\u00a0 is likely to become President if charges are pursued, according to the evidence, of illegal collusion with Russia, money laundering, and obstruction of justice.<\/p>\n<p>On Donald Trump there is voluminous evidence he knowingly colluded with the Russian state in the hacking of the U.S election, and laundered Russian money through shell companies. This evidence is both data-based, for example, based on the way the server he registered laundered stolen voter registration databases with the DNC\u2019s Vertica database in order to target Russian propaganda at voters.<\/p>\n<p>He has additionally both directly obstructed justice and conspired with others to do so.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than repeat previous reporting in this piece I will devote a separate article to the case against Mr. Trump.<\/p>\n<p>On Mike Pence, there is evidence that he obstructed justice, conspired to obstruct justice, and knew that General Mike Flynn was co-ordinating Russia\u2019s propaganda message on behalf of a foreign power.<\/p>\n<p>Pence also violated the Logan Act and obstructed justice when he conspired with Donald Trump to order General Flynn illegally to discuss the removal of sanctions while Barack Obama was still President, and that Pence, Trump and Flynn did so to undermine the action a sitting President was taking against a foreign adversary, as President Obama was expelling Russian spies.<\/p>\n<p>Sources\u00a0 have been more explicit as to Pence\u2019s constitutional and legal violations around President Obama\u2019s actions against Russia, conspiring with Trump to undermine the President of the United States in his action against a foreign adversary.<\/p>\n<p>On Paul Ryan, Speaker of the House, normally third in the line of succession,\u00a0 sources say that Ryan has been legally intercepted, and is on tape, admitting that he knew Russian money was being laundered into the Republican party.<\/p>\n<p>Without co-operation pending resignation Ryan may find himself swept up into a RICO prosecution involving the apparatus of the Republican party who accepted laundered Russian money.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan himself was taped at the Republican convention talking to Sergei Kislyak accepting Russian money into the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Following the unconstitutional dismissal of FBI Director Comey by AG Jeff Sessions and Trump, sources have become more forthcoming.<\/p>\n<p>It was, they say, Reince Priebus who was taped talking to Sergei Kislyak and other Russians at the convention, agreeing to accept laundered or disgused Russian contributions, and Speaker Ryan is on a later intercept admitting that he knew of this plot, which places him at risk of a large number of criminal charges.<\/p>\n<p>A RICO case is being examined against the GOP itself, sources say. The fourth person in the line of succession is Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah, as President pro-tem of the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>Sources with links to the intelligence community say they do not know of any collusion by Hatch in either money-laundering or in accepting Russian intelligence; this does not mean, they warn, that such evidence does not exist.<\/p>\n<p>Some have expressed dismay that President Trump may use his powers of pardon to escape justice by pardoning his own confederates in their crimes.<\/p>\n<p>Several, separate sources with links to both the intelligence and justice communities note that any person or candidate who accepted laundered donations through banks with branches in Wall Street (even if they are from, say, Wisconsin) is liable to charges from New York\u2019s state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.<\/p>\n<p>Further, it is understood that the FBI and Federal Prosecutors are working on multiple sets of charges<\/p>\n<p>Were Mr. Trump to pardon General Flynn for violating the Logan Act, as one example, Flynn would have to accept he committed the crime and Trump would thereby admit his own guilt, leading to impeachment.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors might then bring separate, subsequent cases against Flynn for RICO, violations of FARA, lying to the FBI, lying on his SF-86, and so forth.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, state courts, where Trump has no powers of pardon, would proceed against Flynn on money laundering crimes, and obstruction of justice charges against Trump might be laid out by Federal prosecutors before the Senate. Violation of the Logan Act is one charge against Flynn which applies to both Trump and Pence, and some lawyers read the power of Presidential pardon as not to apply to cases involving a President\u2019s own impeachment.<\/p>\n<p>Culled from US based patribotics.blog<br \/>\nSent from my iPhone<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several separate sources with links to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and other intelligence agencies of more than one nation, and with links within the US state and federal&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":57675,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-57674","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
