Paul Manafort was in Spain in January 2017 when the “Trump dossier” was published. He was there to “re-establish” his relationship with Oleg Deripaska, a Russian oligarch to whom he owed millions. When the former chairman of Trump's 2016 campaign returned to the United States, he presented Republicans with a plan to discredit the entire Trump/Russia investigation.  In the second episode of Ball of Thread, Marcy Wheeler unwinds how the dossier collected by former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele came together and blew up. She also reveals the untold story of Steele's relationship with Deripaska and Deripaska's brutal game.  Find out how Russian disinformation helped shape the stories about the dossier, blurring the Trump campaign's relationship with the Kremlin and strategically polarizing the United States.

von Anna Wallner. Zu Gast in dieser Folge ist Madlen Stottmeyer und wir reden über Ausschreibungen der RBI in Russland, die die "Financial Times" ausgegraben hat und die Frage, ob und wie die Raiffeisen noch aus ihrem Russlandgeschäft aussteigen kann.

Es ist ein außergewöhnlicher Deal, der so kurz vor Weihnachten noch einmal Spannung in die Bankenbranche bringt: Offenbar hat die Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI) einen Weg gefunden, ihre in Russland eingefrorenen Gewinne nach Österreich zu holen. In dem sie dem Oligarchen Oleg Deripaska seine Anteile an der Strabag abkauft. Damit würde Raiffeisen die Mehrheit am heimischen Baukonzern Strabag halten. Was von dem Deal zu halten ist und wie er genau aussieht, erklärt Wirtschaftsexpertin Madlen Stottmeyer in dieser Folge Anna Wallner.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (12/15/2023): 3:05pm- On Wednesday, MSNBC's Monica Alba reported that the Biden Administration is concerned about the “emotional toll” a Hunter Biden drug relapse—triggered by his ongoing legal troubles—would have on his father, President Joe Biden. Could this be the excuse the White House provides for a potential pardon of Hunter? The president's son has been charged with several tax evasion felonies, as well as federal firearm charges. 3:15pm- According to new polling data from Morning Consult, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump now leads President Joe Biden in all seven swing states—Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin—in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup in the 2024 presidential election. You can read more here: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/trump-now-leads-biden-in-all-seven-swing-states-poll/ 3:20pm- While appearing on MSNBC with Jen Psaki, Miles Taylor—a self-described member of “the resistance” within the Trump Administration following the 2016 election—claimed that if former President Donald Trump won re-election, he could punish Americans by shutting off the internet! Does anyone actually believe this nonsense? 3:30pm- Mark O'Connor—Executive Director of Family's Behind the Badge Children's Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the 4th Annual Andy Chan Holiday Block Party tonight, December 15th.

Kennedy Jr., Jill Stein, and a No Labels candidate will all be on the ballot as well. 3:50pm- On Thursday, California Governor Gavin Newsom appeared as a guest on Late Night with Seth Meyers where he claimed to be addressing San Francisco's homeless crisis. 4:05pm- Ari Blaff of National Review writes: “A former FBI counterintelligence chief who played a pivotal role in launching the Trump-Russia probe was sentenced to just over four years in prison for assisting a sanctioned Russian oligarch after leaving his post in 2019. In August, Charles McGonigal, a 22-year veteran of the bureau's field office in New York, was found guilty of a count of conspiracy for working with Oleg Deripaska, a Russian billionaire with close ties to President Vladimir Putin. During his stint with the bureau, McGonigal received classified information that Deripaska would be designated a Russian oligarch with close ties to the Kremlin, the indictment alleged. McGonigal was legally obligated to inform the FBI of his relationship with foreign officials, which he violated by continuing communication and establishing business ties with Deripaska.” You can read Blaff's full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/fbi-official-who-helped-launch-trump-russia-probe-sentenced-to-four-years-in-prison-for-work-with-russian-oligarch/ 4:15pm- David Zimmerman of National Review writes: “The House on Thursday passed the National Defense Authorization Act, an annual defense bill that will this year include an extension of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act's Section 702, the controversial law that permits warrantless surveillance of foreign nationals. The House voted 310-118 in favor of the bill just before congressmen left for Christmas recess. The annual national-defense bill was passed by the Senate Wednesday, and is now headed to President Joe Biden's desk to be signed into law. The final version of the NDAA authorizes $886 billion in national-defense spending, an increase of $28 billion over fiscal year 2023.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/house-passes-annual-defense-bill-extends-section-702-surveillance-authority/ 4:30pm- Dr. Victoria Coates— Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap her time at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) in Dubai.

Welcome to the George Santos Tribute Episode, lasting as long as his tenure in Congress.The Russian-linked Ponzi Scheme is on his way out. He lavishly spent campaign cash on his honeymoon in Las Vegas, spa treatments, luxury shopping sprees, Botox (he's 35!), and the naughty fun time site OnlyFans. We have questions, mostly: Did his Russian-linked backers get their money's worth by having major American embarrassment Santos in Congress? The answer is yes. On an oddly related note, super mogul Len Blavatnik, whom you're not allowed to call a Russian oligarch (or else he might sue you), owns Warner Music Group. The industry giant is developing a creepy and dangerous A.I.-generated Edith Piaf biopic. Blavatnik, whose cousin Andrea got into a screaming match with at the start of Putin's invasion of Ukraine, throws his money around, including to the Democratic Party and the Council on Foreign Relations. As explained in this episode, this is reputation laundering and influence peddling, given Blavatnik's well-documented ties to Putin's court of oligarchs. Are you ready for this? Blavatnik is a longtime friend and business partner of notorious sanctioned “Putin wallet” Viktor Vekselberg in various oligarchy-type ventures like Rusal, Russia's largest aluminum company owned by Oleg Deripaska, that thug who won the aluminum wars during the car bomb 1990s in Russia. (Paul Manafort was on the hook to Deripaska for a bunch of money in a media venture gone wrong, and made it up to him by running Donald Trump's presidential campaign in 2016…for free). Blavatnik's friend/business partner Vekselberg has a seemingly unlucky cousin named Andrew Intrater, a financier who gave George Soros $625,000 to invest in a Florida based fund that turned out to be a Ponzi scheme. Despite losing all that money, Intrater went on to put his full trust in Santos by pumping his Congressional campaign full of cash. A campaign that turned out to be…you guessed it, a Ponzi scheme. It should be noted that longtime friends and associates Intrater, Vekselberg, and Blavatnik all gave heavily to Trump's inaugural committee–otherwise known as a Russian victory lap.  This week's bonus episode includes questions from listeners on topics ranging from white rage extremism and who's tracking it, to how to stay hopeful during these dark times. If you didn't hear your question answered this week, look out for it soon!

Oktober startet der Prozess gegen Sebastian Kurz, die frühere stellvertretende ÖVP-Bundesparteiobfrau und Casinos Austria Managerin Bettina Glatz-Kremsner und Bernhard Bonelli, den früheren Kabinettschef von Sebastian Kurz. Und es geht in allen drei Fällen um falsche Beweisaussage. Die Verteidigungslinie von Sebastian Kurz ist grundsätzlich bekannt: Die Anklagevorwürfe sind konstruiert, er hat im Untersuchungsausschuss niemals vorsätzlich die Unwahrheit gesagt und er fühlt sich von der WKStA politisch verfolgt. Vor wenigen Tagen gab Sebastian Kurz der Kronen Zeitung ein Interview, wo er unter anderem auch sagte: Ich habe mir strafrechtlich nie etwas zuschulden kommen lassen. Auch wenn vonseiten der Wirtschafts- und Korruptions-Staatsanwaltschaft hartnäckig versucht wird, einen anderen Eindruck zu erwecken.Ist das wirklich so? Was steht überhaupt drin in dieser Anklageschrift, die richtigerweise Strafantrag heißt?Ist dieser eine Gefahr für Kurz? Oder doch nur heiße Luft?Die Antwort darauf wird zunächst Richter Michael Radasztics geben müssen. Um zu verdeutlichen, worum es in diesem Verfahren  geht, stelle ich  den Strafantrag als PDF zum Download bereit.Wie immer in solchen Fällen habe ich personenbezogene Angaben geschwärzt. Soweit es  Sebastian Kurz betrifft, geht es um die Frage, ob er als Auskunftsperson im Ibiza-Untersuchungsausschuss unter Wahrheitspflicht an mehreren Stellen die Unwahrheit gesagt hat. Die WKStA meint ja, er sagt nein.Im Ibiza-Ausschuss ging es 2020 unter anderem darum, ob Sebastian Kurz um das Jahr 2018 herum unmittelbaren Einfluss auf die Zusammensetzung des Aufsichtsrats der neuen Staatsholding ÖBAG genommen hat. Kurz hat das damals verneint und auf den zuständigen Finanzminister Hartwig Löger verwiesen, der dafür politisch verantwortlich war. Die Staatsanwaltschaft wird versuchen, das zu widerlegen. Und zwar mit Chatnachrichten und Aussagen von Thomas Schmid, den Sebastian Kurz ja umgekehrt bezichtigt, die Unwahrheit zu sagen, wenn es ihm gerade passt. Im Strafantrag ist mir  ein Punkt aufgefallen, der mich an eine Recherche aus dem Jahr 2022 erinnert hat. Und die hatte mit Siegfried Wolf zu tun. Ich hatte damals mit Stefan Melichar für profil Chats zwischen Siegfried Wolf und Sebastian Kurz aus den Jahren 2018 bis 2020 analysiert. Da ging es um mehrere Interventionen von Wolf. Er bat Kurz damals um Unterstützung wegen der damaligen US-Sanktionen gegen die Unternehmensgruppe von Oleg Deripaska, das ist Wolfs langjähriger russischer Geschäftspartner, ein Kreml-treuer Oligarch.Den Link zu profil-Story findet ihr hierUnabhängig davon war Wolf auch ein erklärter Wunschkandidat von Sebastian Kurz für den ersten Aufsichtsratsvorsitz der neuen Staatsholding gewesen, tatsächlich kam Siegfried Wolf kam aber nicht zum Zug. Und genau das hat Sebastian Kurz dann auch als Argument verwendet, um zu zeigen, dass er eben keinen Einfluss auf die Zusammensetzung des Aufsichtsrats nehmen konnte. Kurz wollte Wolf, Finanzminister Löger wollte ihn aber nicht und deshalb ist Wolf auch nie Aufsichtsrat geworden. Beweis quasi erbracht: Kurz konnte keinen Einfluss geltend machen, folglich hat er im Ausschuss auch nicht Unwahrheit gesagt. An diesem Punkt kommt nun ein ganz anderes Verfahren ins Spiel. Die Causa Eurofighter nämlich, in der Wolf ja ebenfalls eine Rolle spielt. Wolfs Handy war in Zusammenhang mit den Eurofighter-Ermittlungen schon einiger Zeit sichergestellt worden und beim Auslesen stieß die Staatsanwaltschaft auf Chats mit Sebastian Kurz, die jetzt wiederum im Falschaussage-Verfahren eine Rolle spielen werden. Für die WKStA scheint nämlich gesichert, dass Siegfried Wolf nicht deshalb nicht ÖBAG-Aufsichtsrat wurde, weil der zuständige Finanzminister Hartwig Löger ihn dort nicht wollte. Sondern weil die US-Sanktionen gegen Deripaskas Gruppe ein nicht lösbares Problem darstellten, wie es die WKStA ausdrückt. In dem Strafantrag steht dazu:Die Auswertung der Nachrichten zwischen KURZ und WOLF zeigt , dass die beiden über längere Zeit in intensivem Austausch zur ÖBIB/ÖBAG waren,  dass KURZ selbst initiativ wurde, dass es ein Versprechen von KURZ an WOLF gab, und dass WOLF erst aufgrund des trotz intensiver Bemühungen nicht lösbaren Problems der US-Sanktionen nicht als Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender bestellt wurde, sondern ein Überbrückungskandidat gesucht werden musste, der den Platz für WOLF übernimmt und auf Aufforderung freimachen würde.Jetzt könntet ihr euch fragen, warum US-Sanktionen da eine Rolle spielten und was das mit der Staatsholding ÖBAG und der Personalie Wolf zu tun haben soll. An der Staatsholding hängen ja Beteiligungen an einigen große Firmen, wie OMV, A1 Telekom, Verbund, Post, die sind alle an der Börse und da will man natürlich auch amerikanische Investorinnen und Investoren ansprechen. Wenn ja jetzt im Umfeld eines Aufsichtsrats der Staatsholding US-Sanktionen bestehen, dann ist das dem Investoreninteresse eher nicht zuträglich. Die Angst vor US-Sanktionen war übrigens auch der Grund, warum Siegfried Wolf 2018 zunächst nicht in den Aufsichtsrat in der deutschen Porsche Holding einziehen konnte, auch dort hatte man erst einmal Bedenken. Und auch das war in den Chats zwischen Kurz und Wolf ein Thema. 2019 wurde Wolf dann zumindest Aufsichtsrat von Porsche, nicht aber der ÖBAG.Das lässt sich alles im Strafantrag nachlesen, und bevor euch jetzt die 108 Seiten abschrecken: Die Vorwürfe gegen Kurz sind ab Seite 25 auf sieben Seiten zusammengefasst, das ist schneller gelesen als die heutige Episode gedauert hat.

Former FBI senior agent-in-charge of counterintelligence at the New York Field Office, Charlie McGonigal, faces two indictments for his alleged ties to Oleg Deripaska and Albania's Prime Minister Edi Rama. The investigation into the McGonigal Affair has revealed a deep geopolitical shift into oligarch diplomacy. We explore the connection between former FBI agents Charlie McGonigal and Mark Rossini, their involvement with the Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, and their associates Shefqet Dizdari and Oleg Deripaska. Narativ's new analysis of documents by Shefteq Dizdari reveals that Gazprom was behind a scheme to steal three American-operated Albanian oil fields in 2017 Last month a tanker carrying sanctioned Russian oil was seized off the coast of Albania, leading some to speculate that McGonigal had set up a legal firm with Mark Rossini and local Albanian businessman Shefqet Dizdari to facilitate the smuggling of sanctioned Russian oil. Our guest Mark Crawford, Chairman Emeritus of the American Chamber of Commerce in Albania, will shed light on this matter for the first time.

We explore the connection between former FBI agents Charlie McGonigal and Mark Rossini, their involvement with the Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, and their associates Shefqet Dizdari and Oleg Deripaska. Narativ's new analysis of documents by Shefteq Dizdari reveals that Gazprom was behind a scheme to steal three American-operated Albanian oil fields in 2017 Last month a tanker carrying sanctioned Russian oil was seized off the coast of Albania, leading some to speculate that McGonigal had set up a legal firm with Mark Rossini and local Albanian businessman Shefqet Dizdari to facilitate the smuggling of sanctioned Russian oil. Our guest Mark Crawford, Chairman Emeritus of the American Chamber of Commerce in Albania, will shed light on this matter for the first time. Join us as we uncover further details from this worst spy scandal in FBI history, The McGonigal Affair.

Charlie McGonigal used to be the FBI's top NYC spy-hunter. His high rank, access to classified intel, and alleged work for Oleg Deripaska (of Russiagate infamy) means the story of MGonigal's charges could be one of the worst scandals in FBI history. We spoke to Mattathias Schwartz, the reporter for Business Insider who broke the story.

EPISODE 142: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:42) SPECIAL COMMENT: Merrick Garland is going to appear in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday morning. And it looks like there'll be yet another new and big and shiny thing to ask him about, about the arrested ex-FBI man Charles McGonigal and the Russian linked via Paul Manafort to Trump, Oleg Deripaska. Once, McGonigal was in charge of investigating Deripaska. The next thing you knew, he was WORKING FOR Deripaska. Exactly WHEN that happened keeps changing. 2020? 2019? Now it's 2018? Could it have been 2016? Judiciary Chair Dick Durban and Senator Sheldon Whitehouse want to know, and they want to know if Garland knows if McGonigal was aware of his FBI New York Field Office and how it was already trying to fix the 2016 election for Trump by forcing James Comey to re-smear Hillary Clinton eleven days before the election. Meanwhile Trump CAN get the GOP nomination because the GOP hierarchy is moronic: it actually believes it has "cornered" him by demanding a pledge of all would-be nominees to support whoever gets the nomination because OF COURSE he always lives up to his promises. And Tucker Carlson doubles down on the January 6th video scam. B-Block (18:08) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: First you could say "Dilbert" isn't funny. Then you could say it isn't appropriate.

After his secret girlfriend tipped off the authorities, McGonigal was arrested over ties with Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska in Jan 2023. As Chief of FBI's Counterintelligence in New York, Charles McGonigal had near limitless access to US secrets.This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. Visit betterhelp.com/DUBIOUS today to get 10% off your first month of therapy. This week we tell the story of a top FBI agent, Charles McGonigal, and his ties with Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, a close ally of Putin and the former employer of Paul Manafort, Trump's 2016 campaign chair. If you like our content, please become a patron to get all of our episodes ad free. 1 McGonigal took $225,000 in secret cash payments from someone who had served as an Albanian intelligence officer. McGonigal concealed that relationship, as well as his meetings with Sergey Shestakov, from the Bureau. FBI's New York Chief of Counterintelligence also had an extramarital affair with a woman named Allison Guerriero, who later became Rudy Giuliani's house guest and biggest supporter. The events are reminiscent of the Aldrich Ames and Robert Hansen spy cases. 2 During his time with the FBI, McGonigal led the WikiLeaks investigation into Chelsea Manning, and oversaw the search for a Chinese mole inside the CIA. McGonigal was arrested In January 2023 at Kennedy International Airport. Shestakov was arrested at his US home in a simultaneous operation. Both men are accused of receiving payments through shell companies and forging signatures to conceal the fact that Deripaska was paying them. [^3] They have both been charged with money laundering charges, in addition to charges for violating sanctions. Each of these counts carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. 3 1.

t's the fourth episode of Zev Shalev's investigation into the McGonigal Affair.  The big question is not how much damage did McGonigal cause once he working for Oleg Deripaska post 2018. The real question is how far into the bureaus's caseload does the corruption spread. If Charlie McGonigal was a corrupt agent, a mole within the FBI, when did his corruption begin?  What if he was corrupt during the entire process that the investigation into Trump Russia was happening?

EPISODE 127: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:41) SPECIAL COMMENT: It is carefully hidden to protect the sources, but there's no question in my mind now: The New York Times' profile of the arrested ex-FBI New York Executive Charles McGonigal implies that FBI and DOJ are investigating whether he was working for Oleg Deripaska, employer of Paul Manafort who was Trump's Campaign Manager - FOR FREE - long before he retired from the Bureau. I go through the Times piece line-by-line and the phrasing, the invoking of an earlier Russian Spy in McGonigal's own FBI department, the terminology, is all groundwork for later stories that could fully reengage this country with the reality of Trump's 2016 Conspiracy with Russia - and how the FBI's New York Office may have knowingly or unknowingly played a part on both ends of that fetid deal.

“The information—and the bulleted information specifically in that email—is information, in my opinion, that could only have come from a classified source and a classified document …Where did this email come from?

Was this the true origin of the investigation into Joe Biden's classified documents?Kash's Corner looks at recent reporting by New York Post journalist Miranda Devine. And discusses the recent indictment of ex-FBI official Charles McGonigal, a key player in the Russiagate scandal. He was indicted for aiding sanctioned Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska. Notably, Deripaska had previously hired Christopher Steele, the author of the infamous, discredited “Steele dossier.” Tonight, Patel connects the dots and breaks down what he sees going on.

EPISODE 125: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: Do 15 words in The New York Times' infamous Halloween clearing of Trump on Russia identify one of the anonymous governmental sources of the lie as the just-arrested ex-FBI agent Charles McGonigal? Does the timeline of what the FBI New York office did with the Anthony Weiner laptop also suggest that the man who helped force the Comey Letter is...Charles McGonigal? Did the DOJ just arrest someone on lesser charges in hopes of getting him to flip on Trump, or the FBI New York leakers, or others in the Trump-Russia Conspiracy? Someone named...Charles McGonigal? The analysis by author Greg Olean finds potential smoking guns everywhere. And did FBI interference on Trump's behalf ever stop? A new Congressman presses the DOJ to investigate William Barr and John Durham, and - another election, another laptop - Hunter Biden goes on offense and demands the DOJ and the state of Delaware investigate Trumpland figures including Rudy Giuliani for stealing the contents of his laptop, and trafficking in them.

Too bad about DirecTV being "de-platformed" and Burlison now having absolutely no place left in Right Wing Media to go to whine about being silenced. C-Block (34:49) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Sure the FBI New York bureau may have fixed the 2016 election to Trump, but literally they're not all bad. In fact, I'm a satisfied customer.

Hey DOJ – quit writing and start indicting! This week we discuss the ongoing grotesque trend of former officials writing books about all the crimes they didn't solve instead of actually protecting our country while in office. This is a long-brewing crisis going back to the days of John Bolton and James Comey, and its latest iteration is Mark Pomerantz, another lawyer lackey timing his “tell-all” for maximum profits and minimum democracy. We discuss how NDAs block the public from vital info and how the publishing industry has created an incentive for officials to remain silent about – or even participate in -- state crimes. We continue to discuss the case of Charlie McGonigal – the indicted FBI official who was secretly working for sanctioned Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska –  in the context of a broader look at corruption in the so-called “department of justice.” We examine the factors that contribute to this crisis including insularity, elitism, and nepotistic networks. We also destroy the myth that authoritarianism and law are two separate categories and that expertise on one negates knowledge of the other. Mafia states are in fact dependent on the judiciary, which functions as the cage bars of autocracy. If you understand how the judicial system works in a typical kleptocracy, the Biden and Trump DOJs will strike you as familiar. This is why the “legal pundits” polluting our airways with savior syndrome myths are not only vapid, but, over time, dangerous, as they destroy public expectations of good governance. We also discuss the difficulty of parenting during this era of flagrant injustice. It's Merrick Garland's DOJ, but our children will have to live in its aftermath. For our bonus episode, available to Patreon subscribers at the Truth-Teller lever or higher, we answer questions from our listeners. Among the topics covered are Fani Willis and the Georgia investigation, what happens if Trump is indicted, Ron DeSantis lackey Christina Pushaw, and the debt ceiling crisis.

David Waldman is feeling a little less positive today. That's good, at least when it comes to Covid. President Joe Biden isn't so positive that COVID-19 is such a big deal anymore, at least when it comes to handing out benefits. Republican's actuarial arbitrage comes to a close on Covid, although trading remains brisk on how former the Former Guy could get soon. Not just the GQP, but the FBI and the NYT might also be checking their calendars and their watches wondering when the pressure will finally come down.  Alas, Donald isn't going anywhere soon. Once again, we need to reexamine the web of Trump's Russian collusion, from Oleg Deripaska to Paul Manafort, with a long, sad stop at dirtbag Charles McGonigal. George Santos isn't going away as long as his lies keep catching up with him, and they are legion. Kevin McCarthy is being punished and humiliated each moment by Santos, which is sort of his lot in life. So, is George recusing himself from committees a bow to McCarthy's steadfast moral compass, or is he just keeping Kev around a while longer to prolong his agony? Joan McCarter is here to help tear at Republican ruptures, although they are doing just fine on their own. Dems can sit back and enjoy the show.

EPISODE 123: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:42) SPECIAL COMMENT: "You have a lot of folks who are just waiting for his mortal demise," says former Michigan Republican Congressman Peter Meijer. "I've heard from a lot of people who will go onstage and put on the red hat and then give me a call the next day and say 'I can't wait until this guy dies.'" It's an amazing strategy but a passive one. And it ignores the various walls closing in on Trump: two District Attorneys, three Grand Juries, one Judiciary Chairman annoyed at John Durham and William Barr, one Judiciary Chairman rebuffed by Merrick Garland, one porn star, and one guy named Pecker. Still, potentially the most extraordinary story about Trump: the clouds gathering around the arrest of Charlie McGonigal, who was a 24/7, 365 days a year, hot and cold running blackmail-victim-FBI-Agent-waiting-to-happen. And now two analysts look at his arrest and suggest: this may evolve into a) a spy scandal in which the national security was utterly breached and b) a journalistic disaster in which Trump, Russia, and the FBI managed to manipulate The New York Times into pushing Trump across the finish line in 2016.

EPISODE 121: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: Yesterday I proposed that to crowd this corrupt Republican farce, "The Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Government" off the stage, the Democrats needed a similar investigation in the Senate. Suddenly there are far more important reasons than politics and counter-programming. The New York Times' post-mortem on The Durham "Investigation" shows ethical corner cutting and possible criminality. And the deeper dives into the ex-FBI agent arrested Monday show the outlines of the possibility Charles McGonigal took Russian money long before 2021. What if these are just two pictures of the same conspiracy taken at different times? What if this is ALL about an effort to protect Russian Government Intelligence Agencies, and Trump? And even worse: what if The New McCarthyism of the "Weaponization" subcommittee is just the newest photo of the same cover-up?  Start that investigation now, Senators.

One of the FBI special agents that spent years investigating alleged Trump-Russia collusion was himself just indicted for Russian collusion. The FBI agent's name is Charles McGonigal, and the charges against him include, among many other things, laundering money for and doing the bidding of a sanctioned Russian billionaire named Oleg Deripaska. McGonigal was allegedly doing this at the very same time that he was supervising the FBI's investigations into Russian billionaires. ⭕️ Sign up for our NEWSLETTER and stay in touch

Gaslit Nation has been studying Russian oligarch-aiding FBI traitors since our podcast launched in 2018, and what did we get for our diligent efforts? Yet another traitor! This week we discuss the indictment of Charlie McGonigal, the former top counterintelligence official in the New York field office who was secretly working for mega-oligarch Oleg Deripaska while pretending to investigate him. (You may remember Deripaska from our classic T-shirt slogan “You can't make a deal with the guy who won the aluminum wars in the car bomb 1990s in Russia, you just can't.” Rolls right off the tongue!)   We analyze the McGonigal case in the context of familiar Gaslit Nation topics – the top heads of the FBI who went on to work for the Russian mafia, how James Comey betrayed America to serve Semyon Mogilevich, the strange behavior of the FBI and the media during the 2016 election, the partnership between Deripaska and Paul Manafort, the partnership between Deripaska and Mitch McConnell, the desire of McConnell to make Merrick Garland head of the FBI as all this illegal activity was transpiring, and how the McGonigal case and general FBI treason affects Russia's war on Ukraine.

EPISODE 119: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) OF McGONIGAL, DERIPASKA, AND MANAFORT, Part 1: Even at this late date, the ex-FBI executive arrested Saturday, Charles McGonigal, could put Donald Trump in jail forever. McGonigal is not only facing prison for working for Russian oligarch and election conspiracist Oleg Deripaska, but when the FBI revived the "But Her Emails" smear against Hillary Clinton 11 days before the 2016 election and three days later leaked it had "cleared" Trump, McGonigal was the head of the FBI's 2016 Trump-Russia investigation. He's the centerpiece of TWO of the plots to install Trump, and his arrest should start the entire investigation of the Trump-Russia Conspiracy. B-Block (13:34) OF McGONIGAL, DERIPASKA, AND MANAFORT, Part 2: McGonigal, like Paul Manafort, became an employee of Putin crony Deripaska. It's time again to examine Manafort, in bed with Deripaska to the tune of $60,000,000 and appearing in front of Tom Barrack right after Trump lost the Iowa Caucuses saying "I've got to GET TO TRUMP." His story, and the timeline that led McGonigal to a prison cell. C-Block (31:55) OF McGONIGAL, DERIPASKA, AND MANAFORT, Part 3: Suddenly the picture looks so familiar: emails, a computer, gaslighting. It's time to remember the horrible feeling of the morning the sun did not rise: November 9, 2016, and to launch either a Senate or Presidential investigation of the successful Trump-Russia plot to install him in the White House before they succeed again.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2:  While on ABC's “This Week,” Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) dismissed President Biden's recklessness with classified documents—explaining, that his actions aren't keeping Americans “up at night.” Surprisingly, in her opening monologue, ABC's Martha Raddatz was highly critical of President Biden's conduct. While appearing on television over the weekend, typical White House allies Democrat Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Dick Durbin (D-IL) voiced disapproval of Biden's recklessness with classified documents. If Biden is losing his friends in the media and the Senate, is he in serious trouble? A Canadian man has gone viral on social media after expressing his objections to a new health guidance that suggests adults consume no more than two alcoholic beverages per week. According to Ari Blaff of National Review, “Charles McGonigal, a former FBI official involved in the investigation of Donald Trump's ties to Russia, has been charged with violating sanctions and collaborating with Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska.” According to Yahoo Finance, ChatGPT has passed an exam at University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business. Professor Christian Terwiesch said the Artificial Intelligence chatbot would have received a B or B- on the examination had it been an actual student in the course.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (01/23/2023):  3:05pm- On Friday, Justice Department investigators conducted a 13-hour search of President Joe Biden's Wilmington, Delaware home. During the search, six more misplaced classified documents were discovered—some documents dated back to Biden's time as a U.S. Senator, which concluded in 2009. White House lawyers emphasized that President Biden had consented to the DOJ's search. 3:30pm- In a recent New York Post editorial, columnist Miranda Devine hypothesized that Hunter Biden's access to his father's Wilmington home, and subsequent access to classified files, could have been used to generate greater interest in Hunter's services in foreign business dealings.  3:45pm- During Monday's press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre refused to directly answer questions about President Biden's mishandling of classified materials—referring reporters to the White House Counsel for answers to their questions. At one point, Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked if President Biden is “involved in a cover-up”? 3:55pm- While appearing on Fox News, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) told Maria Bartiromo that “Americans would be shocked if they saw how many connections the Biden family had to people directly affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party.” 4:05pm- While on ABC's “This Week,” Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) dismissed President Biden's recklessness with classified documents—explaining, that his actions aren't keeping Americans “up at night.”  4:15pm- Surprisingly, in her opening monologue, ABC's Martha Raddatz was highly critical of President Biden's conduct. While appearing on television over the weekend, typical White House allies Democrat Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Dick Durbin (D-IL) voiced disapproval of Biden's recklessness with classified documents.

Professor Christian Terwiesch said the Artificial Intelligence chatbot would have received a B or B- on the examination had it been an actual student in the course. 5:00pm- According to reporting from Luke Rosiak of The Daily Wire, “[a] 14-year-old transgender runaway from Virginia endured a six-month nightmare that saw her twice fall into the hands of sex traffickers, the second time after Baltimore bureaucrats refused to return her to her home state because they accused her adoptive parents of “misgendering” her.”  5:05pm- In a new survey conducted at California's Davis Joint Unified School District, 6% of the student body self-identifies as transgender or nonbinary.  5:10pm- According to a report in the New York Times, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) summoned exorcists to her home to rid it of bad energy and evil spirits after her husband Paul Pelosi was attacked by a hammer-wielding intruder. Alexandra Pelosi, daughter of Nancy and Paul, said of the assault: “I think that really broke her. Over Thanksgiving, she had priests coming, trying to have an exorcism of the house and having prayer services.” 5:25pm- The Rich Zeoli Show bids farewell to the 2023 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. We laugh, we cry, and we play some of WEF's greatest moments. See you in 2024, Klaus Schwab! 5:30pm- The gunman suspected of killing 10 people at Star Ballroom Dance Studio in Monterey Park, California ended his own life after being pulled over by police on Sunday.  5:45pm- When questioned by reporters, Karine Jean-Pierre could not point to a single instance demonstrating that President Joe Biden takes classified documents seriously.  5:50pm- An avian flu outbreak has caused egg prices to skyrocket across the United States. One state hit particularly hard: California—due to its requirement that all chicken in the state be free-range, which is more expensive. According to a report from CBS San Diego, some citizens have become so desperate for affordable eggs that they've begun crossing the U.S. Southern border to gain access to cheaper prices.  6:05pm- While appearing on Meet the Press, Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) hinted that he might run for president in 2024—and, notably, refused to commit to supporting President Joe Biden's potential candidacy in 2024.  6:20pm- According to auditors, the Pentagon cannot account for over $220 billion in military gear given to contractors—which includes ammunition, missiles, and torpedoes.   6:55pm- In his memoir, “The Spare,” Prince Harry references his private parts fifteen times—including one especially awkward story.

EPISODE 118: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: The Trump-Russia story roared back from the dead yesterday and basically nobody noticed. They've arrested retired FBI agent Charles McGonigal, of the lead FBI investigators of 2016 Russian Electoral Interference by Putin-friendly Russian oligarch Oleg Derpiaska. The allegation? That McGonigal has spent the last year secretly working FOR OLEG DERIPASKA. And if that doesn't make you scratch your head, remember that one of Deripaska's employees was a consultant named Paul Manafort and by total coincidence one of Trump's campaign managers was a consultant named Paul Manafort. Plus updates on Biden's documents (we're up to EIGHT different stories now) and how the Arizona Senate race just changed, activating Kyrsten Sinema's aversion to three-ways. B-Block (16:28) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Robin; (17:42) IN SPORTS: Angels not for sale, Hall of Fame may not get any electees; Local newscaster struggles with the hockey name "Canucks." And "Boudreau."

C-Block (29:08) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Since it's baseball Hall of Fame announcement day, the story of the time I was asked at age 20 to call Willie Mays after he was banned from the game. A woman answered. Or it sounded like a woman. But it also sounded like Willie. And that's when the fun began.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In light of the DOJ's indictment of Russian Oligarch Oleg Derispaska, we thought it worth examining Deripaska's ties to various individuals involved with SpyGate. To be very clear from the outset, we are not attempting to argue that Derispaska is somehow a good guy or a white hat—quite the opposite. We think Deripaska may have effectively served as the originator of the Steele dossier in his ongoing quest for a U.S. Visa. But an examination of Deripaska's contacts with a number of recognizable and notable figures over the years is surprisingly illuminating. ⭕️Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

It's Tuesday 15th March, it's Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. TESLA RAISES PRICES FOR SECOND TIME IN DAYS ON RISING COSTS - Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) raised its prices in China and the United States for the second time in less than a week, after CEO Elon Musk said the U.S. electric carmaker was facing significant inflationary pressure in raw materials and logistics. - The increases come as costs of raw materials are surging, exacerbated by supply chain disruptions following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. - Tesla, which has a diversified supply chain, has bought "millions of euros worth of aluminum" from Russian aluminium giant Rusal, CNBC reported on Monday, citing internal documents. Rusal's billionaire founder Oleg Deripaska has been sanctioned by Britain. Original Source : https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/tesla-raises-prices-some-china-made-vehicles-2022-03-15/ TESLA PRICES RISE AGAIN: AT $48,190, BASE MODEL 3 NOW COSTS A THIRD MORE VS. A YEAR AGO - The Tesla Model 3 was launched with the promise of a $35,000 base price, but now the base Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive starts at $48,190. That's an increase of $2,000 from its most recent (higher) price, and nearly a third higher than this time last year, when you could get a Model 3 Standard Range Plus for $37,190. - Tesla's other Model 3 variants saw price increases as well. The Model 3 Long Range now starts at $54,490 (up $2,500) and the Model 3 Performance starts at $61,990 (up $3,000). - The base price of the entry-level Model Y Long Range increased $3,000 to $62,990. So the most affordable Model Y now costs about $23,000 more than it did around this time last year. - March 2021 the now-discontinued Model Y Standard Range had cost just $41,190. - The Model Y Performance then was just $62,190. Tesla then increased the base price to $64,990, and it now starts at $67,990. Original Source : https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1135329_tesla-prices-rise-again-base-model-3-costs-a-third-more-vs-a-year-ago TESLA INCREASES PRICES THROUGHOUT WHOLE LINEUP - As for the flagship Model S and Model X, they were not spared in the wave of price increases. The Model S now starts at $99,990 – an extra $5,000 over the previous price - The performance version also received a $5,000 price increase. Model X surprisingly escaped many previous waves of price increases from Tesla, but not this time. The electric SUV is seeing a price increase of $10,000 to now start at $114,990: - The Plaid version also saw a big price increase, and now it finally sells for more than the Model S Plaid – the fact that it didn't before made no sense. Original Source : https://electrek.co/2022/03/14/tesla-increases-prices-whole-lineup-cheapest-electric-csr/ INFLATION: TESLA'S AVERAGE TRANSACTION PRICE TOPS ALL BRANDS IN 2022 - Tesla's average transaction price increased by 4.1 percent from January 2022 to February 2022. During the same timeframe, many automakers saw a drop, and the industry as a whole saw a decrease of 0.6 percent. - That said, there are certainly other brands that also had a notable increase, such as Acura, Jeep, Mini, and Toyota. At any rate, Tesla's average transaction price rose from $63,263 in January to $65,837 in February. - If we look at the bigger picture, from February 2021 to February 2022, Tesla's average transaction price soared by 14.8 percent. However, the industry average increase year over year is at 11.4 percent. Original Source : https://insideevs.com/news/573684/tesla-average-transaction-prices-rise-2022-inflation/ VW GROUP CEO PRAISES TESLA'S GIGA TEXAS DURING AUSTIN VISIT - Volkswagen Group CEO Herbert Diess is an outspoken admirer of Tesla and its boss Elon Musk, praising the EV maker for its achievements and innovation on several occasions. - While the German executive's "bromance" with the US billionaire entrepreneur has annoyed some members of VW Group's board, especially works council boss Daniela Cavallo, Diess has made it clear that Tesla cannot be ignored. In November 2021, he gave this reply to those who criticised him for comparing VW with Tesla, as per a Reuters report.  "Even if I no longer talk about Elon Musk: he'll still be there and revolutionises our industry and keeps getting more competitive quickly." - the CEO praised Tesla's Giga Texas plant during his visit to Austin for the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival this past weekend, where the VW ID. Buzz has made its first public appearance. - "Elon's new factory - he calls it 'the machine that produces the machine' is impressive: 1.2 km long, 400m wide: all under one roof, no logistics from cell production to the final assembly. Once up and running it will very likely set some new benchmarks." - "I am so happy that we decided a new plant for Wolfsburg. Without that - no chance to compete." - Set to open in 2026, Volkswagen's new state-of-the-art facility will have an annual capacity of 250,000 vehicles. The first model to be built there will be the Project Trinity electric saloon.
