Ex-Trump aide Flynn probed over secret Turkey dealings: reports
2017-11-12
[DAWN] Investigators are probing whether former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn discussed expelling a Ottoman Turkish dissident back to his country in exchange for millions of dollars, United States (US) media reported Friday.

Special prosecutor Robert Mueller is examining a meeting Flynn had with senior Ottoman Turkish officials weeks after Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
won the presidential race last year, NBC News and the Wall Street Journal reported.

The meeting allegedly discussed a secret payout of up to $15 million dollars if, once in office, Flynn would engineer the deportation to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
of Fethullah Gulen
... a Turkish preacher living in Pennsylvania whom the current govt of Turkey considers responsible for all the ills afflicting Turkey and possibly the entire world...
, a political rival to Ottoman Turkish President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him...
, as well as help free Erdogan-linked Iranian-Ottoman Turkish businessman Reza Zarrab from prison.

NBC and the WSJ both cited multiple people familiar with the probe by Mueller, who is leading the investigation into whether members of Trump's campaign colluded with Russian meddling in the election.

According to the sources, Mueller recently interviewed witnesses over the December 2016 meeting between the Ottoman Turkish officials and Flynn at the swanky 21 Club in New York City.

"Under the alleged proposal, Mr. Flynn and his son, Michael Flynn Jr, were to be paid as much as $15m for delivering Fethullah Gulen to the Ottoman Turkish government, according to people with knowledge of discussions Mr. Flynn had with Ottoman Turkish representatives," the WSJ said.

#3  They've been investigating Flynn from day 1, but it's Manafort who got indicted. Incroyable.

#1  It started with Fethullah Gülen, it will likely end with Fethullah Gülen. This Trump-Russian investigation (which may now be nearing it's end) is little more than a cover for action for our regime change friends and the nefarious acts of the Clinton machine.

Hurriet Daily News - Turkish Embassy in US slams alleged kidnapping of Gülen plot

The Turkish Embassy in Washington on Nov. 11 denied allegations that Turkey would use unlawful ways for the extradition of Fethullah Gülen, the U.S based-leader of the Fethullahist Terrorist Organization (FETÖ).

“All allegations that Turkey would resort to means external to the rule of law for Gülen’s extradition are utterly false, ludicrous and groundless,” a statement released by the embassy said.

The Gülen network is widely believed to have orchestrated the July 15, 2016, coup attempt which left 250 people killed and nearly 2,200 injured.

“The fact that Fethullah Gülen, who is the mastermind behind all these crimes, continues to find refuge in the United States remains, perplexing and deeply frustrating for the Turkish people,” it said.

The statement added that the Turkish government and its people want the immediate extradition of Gülen from the U.S. to Turkey so he can stand trial.
