Another week, another tweeted attempt to divert attention from #TrumpRussia and blame(sic) Democrats for the demise of the republic because of surveillance that never happened.
Remember the front end and the bottom line of this affair are about banks, servers, and financial/voter information … Crooks and Liars grabbed the White House in 2016.
The evermore desperate meme of “whatabout” is now about a non-existent surveillance program on the GOP, because the real story is that the Trump campaign’s collusion with Russians is overlaid with a history of corrupt practices by a wide range of suspects including GOP donors.
Criminal suspects were being surveilled as agents of money laundering and cyber-espionage. Intelligence agencies’ surveillance of actual crimes by some Americans and some Russians, each group was involved with actual and occasionally identical criminal networks for years.
The confluence of Trump’s presidential run and his financial connections have created the Perfect Stormfront, where accountability for electoral activities has now reached the potential of the high crimes and misdemeanors in the Nixon administration. If the level of distraction precipitates escalated military actions, it will add the Reagan era’s global complications.
What has made this potentially impeachable is the overlay of data laundering onto money laundering during the election campaign.
Today’s revelation is one connecting Russian banks and “informal” intermediaries in #TrumpRussia, including the beneficiary of federal security contracting.
Trump really needs you to ignore a complex network of laundered money and data washing that serves his and others’ personal financial interests.
An American brand of whatabout is being practiced by Trumpians whose noose(s) are tightening, and as usual Fox News manufactures a fictitious news meme in coordination with POTUS45*.
The cover-up continues for Desperate Don and more connections to mercenary behavior.
Building on the work of @LouiseMensch and data analysis by @Conspirator0 on Twitter, Tea Pain has stumbled onto a possible “signal in the noise” that opens a window into the data-swappin’ shenanigans going on between Trump Tower, Spectrum Health and Russia’s Alfa Bank during the election.
Spectrum Health, owned by Michigan’s powerful Devos family, attempted to explain the IP activity as “Voice over IP traffic”, whereas Alfa Bank offered an even more exotic explanation that “hackers attempted to make it look like we contacted Trump Tower.”
The data traffic, when analyzed, tells a very different story, a story of automated, orchestrated data sharing among multiple sites for a strategic end.

When money-laundering and data-laundering intersect on the terrain of crony capitalism’s kleptocracy as Trump’s crew games the system ...
The United Arab Emirates arranged a secret meeting in January between Blackwater founder Erik Prince and a Russian close to President Vladimir Putin as part of an apparent effort to establish a back-channel line of communication between Moscow and President-elect Donald Trump, according to U.S., European and Arab officials. [...]
Though Prince had no formal role with the Trump campaign or transition team, he presented himself as an unofficial envoy for Trump to high-ranking Emiratis involved in setting up his meeting with the Putin confidant, according to the officials, who did not identify the Russian. (WaPo)
