Ex-Trump aide Flynn probed over secret Turkey dealings: reports
[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.

#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.

Judge Roy Moore Denies Sexual Abuse Allegations, Mob Rule System Will Decide the Truth
[Victory Girls] Roy Moore, Republican candidate for senator of Alabama, has dug in. Earlier this week, four women came forward to tell their stories of sexual contact with Moore, only one of which would be criminal if the allegations are true. Their encounters with Moore happened more than 38 years ago, which does not mean their stories are false, only that their credibility suffers due to the lapse in time. Moore flatly denies knowing two of the women, but vaguely recalls the other two.

The criminal allegation involves Moore "dating" a 14 year old girl. He was 32 at the time and a district attorney. She says they met at the courthouse, where he offered to sit with her (babysit?), while her mother went into a courtroom to deal with her legal matters (it looks like she was there for a divorce). When he was alone with the girl, he asked for her phone number. He subsequently called and arranged to pick her up around the corner from her house on two occasions. He took her to his house where they kissed on the first visit, and on the second he initiated some touching while they were both undressed to their undergarments. The girl asked to be taken home on both occasions and Moore did as she asked. Moore denies this ever happened and claims he does not know this person. The encounters recited by the other women all happened about the same time, when Moore was in his early 30s, and the young women were aged 16-18, above the age of consent in Alabama. We would look on that age gap as creepy, but there is nothing criminal about those encounters.

#1  Regardless of his past and the validity of the 40 year old charges, he's a white, male, church-going, anti-establishment, pro-gun southern conservative over the age of sixty, and he's finished.

#3  I like older women. Watched people I knew going the other way. Sorrow, grief, pain, criminal court problems. For no good reason. I couldn't even feel sorry for them.

That said, this guy is getting hosed by the media and the GOPe. Pay attention...

He's obviously not a Democrat. All of his accusers appear to be women.

Roy Moore Accuser Is 3X Divorcee Who ‐ ‘Claimed Several Pastors Made Sexual Advances At Her'
[TheGatewayPundit] "Purportedly Moore’s main accuser Leigh Corfman has had three divorces, filed for bankruptcy three times, and has been charged with multiple misdemeanors. Posts on Moore’s FB page indicate that Corfman, has claimed several pastors at various churches made sexual advances at her," tweeted Newsmax’s James Hirsen on Friday.

She says that her teenage life became increasingly reckless with drinking, drugs, boyfriends, and a suicide attempt when she was 16.

As the years went on, Corfman says, she did not share her story about Moore partly because of the trouble in her life. She has had three divorces and financial problems. While living in Arizona, she and her second husband started a screen-printing business that fell into debt. They filed for bankruptcy protection three times, once in 1991 with $139,689 in unpaid claims brought by the Internal Revenue Service and other creditors, according to court records.

In 2005, Corfman paid a fine for driving a boat without lights. In 2010, she was working at a convenience store when she was charged with a misdemeanor for selling beer to a minor. The charge was dismissed, court records show.

The news comes amid reports that the Washington Post failed to disclose another Moore accuser, Debbie Gibson, has worked as a sign language interpreter for Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. Deborah Wesson Gibson, as she goes by on Facebook, supports Doug Jones.

#1  When will we hear that Corfman's troubled life was all due to her being molested by Moore when she was a child?

#2  She is a piece of work to start with.
I do not trust anything at all, and nor does the Town.

#3  I remember some Clinton lackey saying something about 'what you get when you drag $100 bill through a trailer park'. Can't for the life of me think why that comes to mind just now.

#4  EXCLUSIVE – Mother of Roy Moore Accuser Contradicts Key Detail of Daughter’s Sexual Misconduct Story

"Speaking by phone to Breitbart News on Saturday, Corfman’s mother, Nancy Wells, 71, says that her daughter did not have a phone in her bedroom during the period that Moore is reported to have allegedly called Corfman – purportedly on Corfman’s bedroom phone – to arrange at least one encounter."

The Judge In The Fusion GPS Case Has Been Booted
[Red State] In a lot of circles there has been concern expressed about the fact that Judge Tanya Chutkan is handling the case where the House Intelligence Committee is trying to pry open the bank records of Fusion GPS to determine the scope of their direct involvement in the Trump Dossier including which journalists they paid to push the Trump dossier story.

Chutkan was troubling because she was an Obama appointee whose law firm represented Huma Abedin and other Democrat insiders. She’s also the judge that orderd DHS to procure an abortion for a pregnant illegal teen.

Now, for reasons we don’t know, Chutkan has been taken off the Fusion GPS case and the case handed to Judge Richard de Leon. This is the PACER notice (Fusion GPS is the d/b/a of Bean LLC, see the last link) :

Why did this happen? One has to assume that Chutkan’s potential conflicts of interest were demonstrated to be real.

Bright Pebbles adds:
Fusion GPS new Judge Richard Leon knows John Podesta.

#1  BP, this reads like Leon is also a swamp member as well? Obama appointee?

#3  Leon was a George W. appointee. Chutkan was an Obean appointee. In looking at wiki, he seems like a better choice. Many people knew (or sort of knew) Skippy--that doesn't necessarily mean anything.
