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

A business partner of Michael Flynn is being charged with acting as an agent of a foreign government and conspiracy for attempting to get Turkish cleric Fethullah Gulen extradited from the United States.

Bijan Kian made his first appearance in Alexandria federal court Monday morning.

Turkish businessman Ekim Alptekin who paid Kian and Flynn, is charged in the indictment, but remains abroad.

The Turkish government blames Gulen, who is living in exile in Pennsylvania, for instigating a failed coup in 2016.

16. I doubt a traitor would be in business with a trustworthy American.

Criminals and traitors associate with their like kind so they won't be narced out to the feds.

4. I keep thinking about that poem whose lines include "things fall apart..."

“...the centre cannot hold...”

“The Second Coming” by William Butler Yeats.

9. Trump is an unregistered agent of any country that gives him money.

Israel, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Russia.

10. Yes but are these folks still here in the USA? I mean, that might explain the secrecy...

to avoid their flight out.

11. Someone here correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this guy Rafiekian was on Trump's transition team

Edit* Is seems he was deputy lead assigned to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence...

[Farmer-Rick]

15. Wow, office of National Intelligence

So, what state secrets do you think we still have from little Putin?

[rufus dog]

12. Does anyone else think the Mueller is sending a message?

That is Flynn got his deal, then came out and lamely claimed the FBI didn't tell him lying to the FBI was a crime. (Only the best and brightest)

So Team Mueller says, "hold my beer, let's send a message!"

[dembotoz]

13. wonder if trump meant drain the swamp as putting all his business associates in prison

reminds me of the moral of the movie war games

the best way to win is not to play

[triron]

14. Hmmm.
