Pence looked like a fool, but really......like that was the first time? Nope, unless they have a tape which indicates a quid pro quo, or he actively committed treason trying to assist the Russians in disrupting American elections, all the media buzz about him being hung out to dry is just President Trump playing with the media. Just some more hysteria. Same chit....different channel.
Is Trump Advisor Steve Schwarzman The Missing Link In The Rosneft Scandal?
UPDATE: Feb. 13, 2017 at 7:20 p.m. — A point of clarification. Walkers Fiduciary Limited, which registered the QHG Cayman LLC organization,is a different company than Walkers Management Services, which was previously reported.
PREVIOUSLY: Accompanied by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzō Abe, Donald Trump attended the extravagant 70th birthday party of long-time friend Steve Schwarzman in Palm Beach, Florida on Saturday night. According to reports, Schwarzman, who is the CEO of global private equity firm The Blackstone Group, is committed to serving as a key advisor to Trump with the intention of meeting “frequently” on issues of strategy and policy. Schwarzman made headlines recently for having traveled with Trump on Air Force One, and after his family housekeeper was pushed in front of a subway car and killed in Times Square back in November.
In recent days, a great deal of media attention has been paid to Trump’s National Security Advisor General Michael Flynn for his possibly illegal discussions with the Kremlin prior to Inauguration Day in which he may have projected the Trump administration’s intention to lift sanctions on Russia once Trump assumed office. However, the real story here may in fact be Schwarzman.
After weeks of sifting through financial disclosures and filing records, our independent investigation into Trump’s ties to Russia has uncovered evidence to suggest that Schwarzman’s Blackstone Group may be linked to Rosneft, Russia’s government-owned oil company that famously sold 19.5% of its stock to two investors this past December: the first was Glencore, to which evidence suggests the Koch Brothers are connected, and the second, a mysterious Qatar-based nest doll of shell corporations, which evidence suggests is connected to Schwarzman.
Schwarzman’s possible connection to Rosneft puts Mr. Trump dangerously close to allegations brought forth in the controversial Russian dossier that suggested he was offered a 19 percent stake in the oil company in exchange for lifting American sanctions against Russia. If Donald Trump was involved with the Rosneft deal it would constitute a high crime of treason worthy of impeachment and have deeper ramifications about Trump’s knowledge with regards to cyber interference in the presidential election.
