The Trump Russia probe is expanding, as Mueller looks into new meetings in Seychelles: exclusive

Source: New Jersey Real Time news www.nj.com

Special counsel Robert Mueller's team is examining a series of previously unreported meetings that took place in 2017 in the Seychelles, an archipelago in the Indian Ocean, as part of its broader investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, according to two sources briefed on the investigation.

The sources said several of those meetings took place around the same time as another meeting in the Seychelles between Erik Prince, founder of the security company Blackwater, Kirill Dmitriev, the director of one of Russia's sovereign wealth funds, and Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, the effective ruler of the United Arab Emirates (also known as "MBZ&quot . Details of that earlier meeting were first reported by the Washington Post last year.

The inquiry into the meetings in the Seychelles suggests there is growing interest on the Mueller team in whether foreign financing, specifically from Gulf states, has influenced President Trump and his administration.

Wealthy and politically-connected individuals from across the globe -- from Russia, France, Saudi Arabia and South Africa -- land in the Seychelles for meetings that take place as a part of a larger gathering hosted by MBZ, according to an individual briefed on the matter, who also requested anonymity. Many of them fly in on private jets and several do not clear customs. Some check into the Four Seasons Hotel while others arrive and stay on their yachts.

It looks like a lot of money wanting to make sure that they could pay to play with the Trump folks

That the Mueller investigation took a nasty turn into seizing his lawyers files to comb through them for more unethical and illegal acts.

The poster is warning come this Friday tRdump will act out in a vindictive manner and either shit can Rosenstein, Sessions, and/or Mueller in a despiration move to end the Mueller probe into team tRump and that criminal enterprise. Mueller has more aces to play up his sleeve - and tRdump is beginning to realize his hand he has to play is not all that strong. The pathetic thing is - tRdump only has a sleeve full of jokers. One ace beats a fist full of jokers. Mueller's hand of cards trumps tRdump's hand - and the world knows it, as they all piss themselves laughing.

The end of the week - Friday - is bad news dump day for team tRdump when he can control the news cycles to his best advantage. And hopefully the bad news escapes the bright light of a week day.

Info is still there and while we don't know exactly what that is, one can be sure it is devastating for Trump world. He's pissed off so many folks at the FBI and Intel he'll be pursued til he himself dies.

I like this Prince angle. His sister and their Christian nutjob cohorts really need to be exposed for the charlatans they are.

Bob,
Please send him to a street in Iraq w/out his blackwater security people.


Erik please tell Bob that you just happened to meet a Putin person 1,000 miles
off the coast of Africa for a beer along with a UAE money man, and Lebanese/American
middle man who was connected to the Trump campaign. Don't forget to tell about
Rudy G's help too.

Botox and nips-n-tucks, high-end salons, can't hide the decay within.

Related to Coulter also, perhaps?

She can afford it. Of course her evil is down to her core and it oozes to the surface (like Dorian Gray).

... so they can hide in the safe zone of plausible deniability. We did - but you can never prove it - so save your time and energy.

It is like Team tRdump are the stupid and idiot version of Watergate. These guys are way more smart.

These CEOs and executives - movers and shakers of commerce and industry just ain't that stupid and were wise enough to keep a ten foot pole distance from Team tRdump. That way they did not get sucked into the whirlpool when Mueller came along and took tRdump down.

TRdump meeting his match was both predictable and inevitable if one steps back and takes a big picture view of the comings and goings, the never ending cesspool of chaos and mayhem, and sewage treatment plant sort of life of a big shot - dip stick - totally full of shit idiot known as "The Donald".
