Michael Flynn’s business partner charged with illegally lobbying for Turkey

[NeverTrump]

Hey Washington Post! It was a kidnapping plot, not extradition!!!

A former business partner of Michael T. Flynn has been charged with conspiracy and acting as an agent of a foreign government for his efforts to have Turkish cleric Fethullah Gulen extradited from the United States.

Bijan Kian made his first appearance in Alexandria federal court Monday morning. According to the indictment, Kian, who ran a lobbying firm with Flynn, conspired with a Turkish businessman to illegally influence government officials and public opinion in the United States against Gulen.

I live a few miles from Fetulleh Gulen. It's such a joke. He's an old ass man. There is no militant army. Let him live out his days and the blood thirsty turkish government can can it.

Once you start breaking laws it becomes easier and easier to break more. That is why we must pursue all law breakers.

MUELLER INVESTIGATING MICHAEL FLYNN FOR PLOT TO KIDNAP TURKISH OPPOSITION LEADER FETHULLAH GÜLEN

And from the article I quote:

Special counsel Robert Mueller has begun investigating an alleged plot by former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn to kidnap a Turkish opposition leader living in the U.S. Multiple sources with knowledge of the investigation confirmed the direction of Mueller’s probe to The Wall Street Journal Friday. Four sources also confirmed it to NBC News. The plan was to remove Muslim cleric Fethullah Gülen, an avowed enemy of Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, from the U.S. and return him to Turkey. Gülen currently lives in Pennsylvania.

In March, former CIA Director James Woolsey told the WSJ that he attended a meeting in a hotel room in New York City last September where Flynn discussed “a covert step in the dead of night to whisk this guy away.” Flynn was named Trump’s national security adviser in November. Erdoğan has accused Gülen of orchestrating an attempted coup against his government in 2016. The kidnapping and return of Gülen would have netted Flynn and his son, Michael Flynn Jr., $15 million, people with knowledge of the discussions said. The alleged plan was to transport Gülen via private jet to the Turkish island prison island Imrali.





The kind of person Trump surrounds himself with. A true hive of scum and villainy.

Witches are also generally very fine people. I knew a few witches over the years.
