Встреча на Сейшелах

[tijd]

В мае 2014 одним из громких разоблачений Навального стал рассказ о тайной поездке на Сейшельские острова самолета минобороны РФ.

В конце 2015 поездки на Сейшелы несколько упростились: для граждан РФ были отменены визы для краткосрочных поездок.

В начале 2017, по информации Washington Post, на Сейшелах состоялась тайная встреча между Эриком Принсом, в качестве представителя Трампа и неназванным представителем Путина для установления неформальной линии связи. Встреча состоялась в районе 11 января при посредничестве ОАЭ.

Though Prince had no formal role with the Trump campaign or transition team, he presented himself as an unofficial envoy for Trump to high-ranking Emiratis involved in setting up his meeting with the Putin confidant, according to the officials, who did not identify the Russian.

В этот же день Трамп пытался отбиться от эффекта, произведенного всплывшим накануне досье Стила.

Russia has never tried to use leverage over me. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA - NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NO NOTHING!
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 11, 2017

В это же время в интервью Wall Street Journal он намекнул, что готов снять санкции с России: "If you get along and if Russia is really helping us, why would anybody have sanctions if somebody’s doing some really great things?"

В других новостях: Выясняется, что печально известный Картер Пейдж был в контакте с агентами СВР, пойманными ФБР в Нью-Йорке в начале 2015 и, по всей видимости, рассматривался ими в качестве завербованного.

Two years before joining the Trump campaign as a foreign policy adviser, New York business consultant Carter Page was targeted for recruitment as an intelligence source by Russian spies promising favors for business opportunities in Russia, according to a sealed FBI complaint. Page confirmed to ABC News that he is the individual identified as "Male-1" in a 2015 court document submitted in a case involving the Russian spies.

The court filing includes a colorful transcript of Podobnyy speaking with Sporyshev about trying to recruit Page.
“[Male-1] wrote that he is sorry, he went to Moscow and forgot to check his inbox, but he wants to meet when he gets back. I think he is an idiot and forgot who I am. ... He got hooked on Gazprom thinking that if they have a project, he could rise up,” Podobnyy said. “I also promised him a lot ... This is intelligence method to cheat, how else to work with foreigners? You promise a favor for a favor. You get the documents from him and tell him to go fuck himself.”
Page confirmed to BuzzFeed News on Monday that he is “Male-1” in the court filing and said he had been in contact with Podobnyy, who was working at the time at Moscow’s UN office in New York City under diplomatic cover, although he was really an SVR agent.
