Тронувшийся лед

[tijd]

В обвинительном заключении, выдвинутом Трампу в Нью-Йорке, интересно упоминание даты 14 февраля 2017, с которой ведется отсчет преступления.



Эта дата примечательна другими событиями. Накануне отправлен в отставку Майкл Флинн. Трамп встречается в Овальном кабинете с руководителями разведки и министерства юстиции. Оставшись один на один с директором ФБР Коми, он просит того прекратить расследование Флинна.

He repeated that Flynn hadn’t done anything wrong on his calls with the Russians, but had misled the Vice President. He then said, “I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go. He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go.”

В тот же день в New York Times и CNN со ссылками на источники в органах разведки появляются сообщения о контактах избирательной кампании Трампа с российскими спецслужбами.

Именно с этих публикаций начинается война Трампа с прессой и разведкой под лозунгом борьбы с вымышленным "deep state".



Лозунг остается актуальным. Главная инициатива избирательной кампании Трампа-2024 - уничтожение "deep state", которого не удалось достичь за четыре года президентства.

WACO, Texas - Former President Donald Trump vowed to destroy the “deep state” during a campaign rally in this city Saturday, which is in the midst of the 30th anniversary of the federal siege of anti-government cult leader David Koresh’s compound.
“Either the deep state destroys America or we destroy the deep state,” Trump said of the stakes of his bid for a return to the Oval Office.

"Here's my plan to dismantle the deep state and reclaim our democracy from Washington corruption once and for all, and corruption it is.
First, I will immediately re-issue my 2020 Executive Order restoring the President's authority to remove rogue bureaucrats. And I will wield that power very aggressively.
Second, we will clean out all of the corrupt actors in our National Security and Intelligence apparatus, and there are plenty of them."

Между тем среди других судебных исков Трампу придётся давать показания под присягой в иске Питера Строка, бывшего руководителя контрразведки ФБР, об его незаконном увольнении.

Peter Strzok, who was fired from the agency in 2018 over text messages between him and FBI attorney Lisa Page about a potential Trump presidency, sued the Justice Department in August of 2019. He is seeking back pay and reinstatement and has alleged that he was unlawfully terminated for expressing his political opinions.
Strzok subpoenaed Trump and FBI Director Christopher Wray, who has held that position since 2017. The Justice Department moved to quash the subpoena, citing a legal concept called the “apex doctrine,” which disfavors taking depositions of high-ranking government officials unless a party can show that extraordinary circumstances exist.
In a sealed hearing on Thursday, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson denied the DOJ’s motion and said the depositions of Trump and Wray could proceed. However, she set strict guidelines for the potential depositions.
“The Court authorized the plaintiffs to conduct depositions of each witness that do not exceed two hours and are limited to the narrow set of topics specified on the record at the hearing,” the judge wrote in an order posted to the federal case docket.
