The arrest of the ex-adviser Trump on national security, retired Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, because the team of special prosecutor Robert Muller is busy with a comprehensive check of media reports that Flynn was offered $ 15 million for assistance in the capture and extradition to Turkish preacher, writer and philosopher-goddess Fethullah Gulen. Such data is located with the situation of the NT source in the US Congress.

Ankara accuses Gulen, who lives in the state of Pennsylvania (USA) on a Green Card as a political emigrant, in organizing an attempt at a military coup in the summer of 2016. Since then, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan unsuccessfully demands from the United States to give the “terrorist” Gulen, but in the States this is a long judicial procedure. The Turks sent several boxes of incriminating evidence to Gulen for the ocean, but the US Ministry of Justice did not find this evidence convincing and refused extradition.

The fact that the Turks allegedly offered Flynn $ 15 million in exchange for help in the issuance of Gulen on November 10 with reference to her source of The Wall Street Journal. The article caused a resonance. Literally after 4 days at the hearings on Rashagate (Russiagate) in the law committee of the House of Representatives of the US Congress, US Prosecutor General Jeff Sehns, they directly asked if he knew about attempts to bribe Flynn. “Did you know that the Turkish government allegedly offered M. Flynn $ 15 million for the abduction of F. Gulen?” - asked Sehns. “Absolutely not. Of course not, ”he answered.

“Until now, Müller has dug a story about Flynn - a violator of the Law on Ino -Agents ( Fara. - NT). But if Müller is getting to the bottom of the kidneping and Turkish millions, the weight of the accusations against Flynn is heavily weighed ten times, ”the source on the Capitol Hill explained NT. The interlocutor NT recalled that the rumors that the special prosecutor collected enough evidence to initiate a criminal case against Michael Flynn and his son Michael Flynn Jr. and that the arrest of both was a matter of a few days, appeared in early November. In particular, on November 5, the NBC television company reported this.

The version that after the article in The Wall Street Journal, the muller quipor, investigating Trump's alleged connections and his entourage with Russia, decided to pause and return the case to the large jury to include the Turkish episode in it, supports the online publication of Politico . According to the publication, this is the only reason why Müller has not yet arrested Flynn.

The younger Flynn, meanwhile, reprints the attacks on the special prosecutor Müller in social networks and, apparently, is not going to cooperate with the investigation

Flinna Sr. is considered the main character of Rashagate, and the observers in the United States were surprised that the special prosecutor Müller did not take up him not for him, but for the former head of the election headquarters of Donald Trump Manafort and his business partner Rick Gates. At 12 points of the indictment presented by Manafort and Gates at the end of October 2017, their sinning to the American femid Themis was painted on the 31st page. Basically, this is tax evasion and financial fraud associated with the work of Manafort for ex-president of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych. There is no question of Russia in the document. Both accused were sent under house arrest.

And in early autumn, it became known that the special prosecutor Müller became interested in the activities of Michael Flynn Jr., who worked as a director at the Flynn Intel Group. There is a theory that the prosecutor, having taken up the general son, is thus trying to put pressure on Flynn Sr. so that he agrees to cooperation.

The younger Flynn, meanwhile, reprints attacks on Müller on social networks and, apparently, is not going to cooperate with the investigation.

Fiasco in the White House

58-year-old Michael Thomas Flynn is one of the first and most ardent supporters of Donald Trump. During the last year’s election campaign, he was remembered by how he chanted Hillary Clinton to prison from the rostrum of the election congress of the Republican Party.

Trump respects the warrior and appreciates such loyalty. It is not surprising that he was thinking of appointing a retired general who fought in Grenada, Iraq and Afghanistan, his vice president. Ultimately, the 45th president stopped choosing on T-shirt Pence, and Flynna made his assistant in national security with a state of subordinates of 400 people.

If the special prosecutor Müller concludes that Komi lost his chair due to refusal to get rid of the “good man” Flynn, then theoretically Trump threatens the accusation of preventing the administration of justice

As you know, in this position, Flynn lasted only 24 days, from January 20 to February 13 this year: he resigned for lifting Penca about the content of his conversation with the Russian Ambassador to the United States Sergey Kislyak.

But back in January 2017, the acting Minister of Justice Sally Yates twice warned the White House employees that Russia has a compromising evidence of Flynn, associated with his conversations with Kislyak. Trump did not heed this warning, as he did not listen and to the advice of his predecessor Barack Obama stay away from the general. (Obama himself sent Flynn to retire in 2014 from the post of director of the US Ministry of Defense intelligence department, which he occupied for two years).

Relieved Heart of Trump had to get rid of Flynn, but he did not disown from the right ally - he even asked the director of the FBI James Komi, who investigated the intercourse of the team of the new president with the Kremlin, to leave the general alone because he was a “good man”. Coumi got a scourge and was soon fired too.

If the special prosecutor Müller concludes that Komi lost his chair due to refusal to get rid of the “good man” Flynn, then theoretically, Trump threatens the accusation of preventing the administration of justice. And this option in the United States is considered the most likely, because the Cat has been crying for the considerable evidence of the relations of the Trumpists with Moscow, and in any case it is not a criminal offense, unlike interference with the investigation. And in this case, Trump can be safe. The cunning advisers advise the president to prevent Flynn to prevent, until Müller put forward a whole bouquet of accusations against that, which will be made wide public.

The nursing hand of Moscow

Having retired in 2014 (about $ 150 thousand per year), Michael Flynn founded the Flynn Intel Group consulting company, which began to provide lobbying services to foreign governments and other respectable customers.

From time to time, the head of Flynn Intel Group played on the Russian television channel RT (Russia Today). They somehow did not pay attention to this in America, but Flynn’s participation in Moscow celebrations on the occasion of the decade of RT in December 2015 was not noticed. American experts in Russia simply rolled their eyes when they saw shots from a banquet in Moscow, on which a retired consulting general sits on the right hand from Vladimir Putin. The piquancy was added by the fact that Flynn received money for the speech in Moscow.

As the correspondence of the parties appears, Flynn was traded with RT about the amount of the fee, to which they answered that the requested price is “high” and asked to reduce it

A month before, the RT employee explained in a letter to Flynn the purpose of his invitation to Moscow: “Using your experience of an intelligence professional, we would like to talk about the decision -making process in the White House - and what role the intelligence community plays in it.” And in a letter dated October 19 of the same year, the Russian television channel promised to pay the American general and his son airline in the business class, as well as three nights at the Metropol Hotel, which, as emphasized in emails, is “in the heart of Moscow next to Red Square”. As it appears from the correspondence of the parties, Flynn was traded with RT about the amount of the fee, to which they answered that the requested price is “high” and asked to reduce it.

At that moment, the relations of the White House and the Kremlin were already completely bad, and the Moscow tour of the former head of the US military intelligence did not find understanding in Washington. But, obviously, I found it in New York, at Trump.

In March this year alone, the Committee of the House of Representatives of the US Congress on Supervision and Government Reform received documents on the size of Moscow fertilizers Flynn. From them it became known that from the RT channel, which the US intelligence service was officially classified as the Russian government, the former chief intelligence officer of the United States received more than $ 45,386. The money was transferred to the LEC LEADING AUTHORTIES, InC. (LAI). The amount of payment was included in the Flynne fee ($ 33,750), a visa fee ($ 386) and 25 percent commission bureaus ($ 11,250).

RT channel was not the only source of dollars of Russian origin for a retired general. On August 19, 2015, for example, Flynn received $ 11,250 from the Volga-Dnepr freight airline, also for a performance at the customer event. Meanwhile, eight years earlier, the United Nations (UN) excluded this carrier from the list of its contractors. The occasion was the arrest of two Russian UN employees who, for bribes, arranged profitable contracts for businessmen, and the Volga-Dnepr was punished for some “improper relations” with one of these Russians. The company has not yet been restored in the Oon list.

Another $ 11,250 Michael Flynn received on October 20, 2015 from Kaspersky Government Security Solutions, Inc. - American "daughter" of the Russian "Kaspersky Laboratory". The founder and head of this company Yevgeny Kaspersky confirmed that the American branch paid Flynn for a forum in Washington on the problems of cybersecurity, but refused to name the amount of the fee: they say, he has a private company that is not connected with any government, but is ready to help law enforcement officers fight cybercrime.

Flynn “violated the Constitution, having adopted tens of thousands of dollars from an agent of a global enemy who attacked our democracy”

In March 2017, the American Congressman-Democrat Elijah Cummings sent a letter to President Trump, Minister of Defense James Mattis and FBI director James Komi, in which Michael Flynn and Moscow inappropriately painted. The same Kaspersky, Cummings claimed, referring to some messages, "studied at the Cryptographic Institute under the auspices of the KGB, and then served in Russian military intelligence." “It is reported that in recent years the company ( “ Kaspersky Laboratory. ” -NT) replaces top managers with people closely related to the Russian military and intelligence services, although Kaspersky himself denies these allegations,” the congressman said.

According to Cummings, it is clear that Flynn took a fee from the “Russian government bodies”, and therefore the US Ministry of Defense should remove the money earned in violation of the United States Constitution. Flynn “violated the Constitution, having adopted tens of thousands of dollars with an agent of the global enemy who attacked our democracy,” the congressman emphasized.

Indeed, the so-called “point of remuneration”, which is contained in Article 1 of the American Basic Law, prohibits state officials without the consent of the Congress accept “any gifts, remuneration, position or rank from any king, prince or foreign state”. Retired officers, as explained to reporters in the Pentagon, belong to the category of officials, as they can be called up for military service. And the category of “foreign state” includes its bodies, one of which the CIA considers RT.

Foreign agent and the failed kidneper

In early spring, it also turned out that the retired general worked not only for Russia, but also for Turkey. On March 7, Flynn Intel Group, retroactively, informed the US Ministry of Justice that, as an adviser to presidential candidate Donald Trump, the retired was simultaneously a lobby for the Turkish government and, in this capacity, received a total of $ 530 thousand from the Turks in a total of $ 530.

Neither Trump nor the penalty, according to them, had no idea about the side of the Commercial Complete's side fishing, although Flynn's lawyers claim that they notified the employees of the elected president.

There is reason to suspect that the Turks wanted to get something more from Flynn than the film about Gulen, about which Erdogan spoke about the same way as Stalin about Trotsky

Meanwhile, such activities oblige the company to register in the US Ministry of Justice as a foreign agent. As the lawyer Flynn explained, this was not done on time, since officially Flynn Intel Group did not work for Ankara, but for the company of the Turkish businessman Kamil Erkin Alptekin, and Flynn thought that registration was not required.

When the general finally appeared in the Ministry of Justice with a guilty head, he explained that the Turks hired him to collect information and make a film about Fethullah Gulen. However, there is reason to suspect that the Turks wanted to get something more from Flynn than the film about Gulen, about which Erdogan speaks about the same as Stalin about Trotsky.

The ex-director of the CIA James Wolsi, who was listed in Flynn Intel Group, spoke about the meeting of a group of high-ranking Turkish officials, including foreign ministers and energy, with Michael Flyn and Co in the New York House House in September 2016. Wulsey himself was late and missed a lot, but, according to him, he remembers the discussion of the options for the violent extence of Gulen to Turkey bypassing standard procedures.

Wulsey, according to him, had the impression that the question at that meeting was almost about the abduction of Gulen. By the way, the grandfather of a friend of the author of these lines, who served in the United States as a resident of Soviet intelligence, told how he sent non -returners rolled to his homeland to the carpets. Who knows, maybe they planned to take Gulen in the same way?

Having suspected the criminalism, Wulsey spoke about a conversation at the hotel to several acquaintances, including the then Vice President Joe Biden, and then the FBI investigators, who are investigating Rashagate.

And already in November 2017, information appeared that last year's meeting of Flynn with the Turks in New York was not the last. According to The Wall Street Journal, the FBI checks the information that in December last year, Flynn again discussed the plans of the forced return of Gülen with representatives of Turkey in the New York club, including the option using a private plane that would deliver the preacher on the Turkish island of Imrala in the Marmara Sea. It was for such assistance, according to unconfirmed reports, the Turks promised Flynn $ 15 million.

However, both the lawyer Flynn Robert Kelner, and the Turkish authorities categorically refute any information about the involvement of the retired head of Flynn Intel Group in the plans of the abduction of Gulen.

Meanwhile, according to The Wall Street Journal and NBC News, at last year's December meeting, Flynn was also asked to help with another businessman - to contribute to the release of the Turkish businessman from the American prison of the Srab, an exporter of gold, who in the United States is accused of laundering and violation of American sanctions against Iran. The process in this case was appointed in the Manhattan Federal Court on November 27, for his protection the defendant hired the former mayor of the present-york Rudy Juliani.
