    Former Michael Flynn Business Associates Indicted in Turkey Lobbying Case

    WASHINGTON — Two former business associates of Michael T. Flynn, President Trump’s first national security adviser, have been indicted as part of a federal investigation into Turkey’s secret 2016 lobbying campaign to pressure the United States to expel a rival of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

    Charges against the two former associates, Bijan Kian and Ekim Alptekin, were unsealed on Monday in an Alexandria, Va., courtroom. The two men were charged with a conspiracy to violate federal lobbying rules, and Mr. Alptekin also was charged with making false statements to F.B.I. investigators.

    The indictment is further evidence of a broad crackdown on unregistered foreign lobbying growing from the inquiry by Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel who has investigated foreign flows of money from Ukraine, Turkey and other countries designed to manipulate decision-making in Washington. Mr. Mueller referred the Turkey case to prosecutors in Northern Virginia earlier this year.

    Yes, businesses and people who lobby for foreign interests must file certain paperwork with the government. Where was Flynn's company general counsel? They are responsible for getting this done.

    Why is Mueller doing any of this? What happened to investigating collusion with Russia?
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    This is the fishing expedition Rosenstein said would not be tolerated.

    He knew going in that this collusion did not exist.


    How many years is it going to take to create this collusion out of thin air?


    Then what do you do about something which isn't a crime?

    Rosenstein is not to be trusted. I am tired of Trump crying over things. Who is telling him this man is not a snake.

    So far, four people sentenced to prison, one convicted at trial, seven guilty pleas, 36 entities and people charges and 192 in all criminal counts. And the investigation is FAR from over yet. The web of deceit, lies and collusion with Russia are so entangled and deep it's going to rock the world once everything comes out. An investigation this intricate and involved would ordinarily take five years at least. Mueller is working at warp speed considering all that he has to investigate.
