FBI raids home of Russian oligarch and Putin associate Oleg Deripaska

Source: CNBC

FBI agents are at the home of Russian tycoon Oleg Deripaska, the agency confirmed Tuesday.

The agents are conducting "court-authorized law enforcement activity" at Deripaska's home in Washington, D.C., an FBI spokeswoman told CNBC.

The spokeswoman did not provide additional details about the FBI presence. Multiple agents were seen restricting access to the property, NBC News reported.

Deripaska became widely known in the U.S. for his ties to Paul Manafort, the former Trump campaign chairman who was convicted on fraud charges stemming from former special counsel Robert Mueller's probe of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Deripaska should be front and center and "widely known" in "liberal" media for his close ties to Moscow Mitch and other Republicans who've gone to Moscow, as well.

Get his docs on operations and communications, and the Trump crime syndicate will follow.

The financing isn’t coming through, and the Governor of Kentucky recently launched a probe because the state invested $15 million. It was more a scheme to get Mitch reelected by promising new industry and high paying jobs. I would love to see Moscow Mitch tied to some crimes that could be prosecuted.

registered in some of the districts. This is NOT Q theory but serious accusations of manipulation that KY officials and DOJ Civil Rights Division haven't looked into or accounted for because TLG was still in charge.

Mitch's election numbers don't add up in several ways and during more than one election. Understand that we are not talking about crossover voting but the total numbers cast.

I have no doubt the premise of the Aluminum Plant was indeed to bribe KY voters, that it was always a hollow promise with juicy tax write-offs for the holding company who arranged the deal and no real investment or jobs resulting from it.

but my local news showed a bill board about the coming plant, when Mitch was up for re-election. However, when he got re-elected, it somehow got shelved.

2016 is STILL in play.

What goes around comes around.

The QOP will reap what it has sown. I don't believe in any kind of god or goddess, but I do believe that every action causes reaction followed by reaction ad nauseum; and that the reactions may not be what one thought they would be.

it is long past time to reform the diplomatic immunity laws when it comes to serious crimes, not just parking tickets or whatever.
