Not even a Trump-appointee-infested Fed bench will be able to save this asshole.

“He is innocent, and we’re going to prove it in court,” Herrington added.
This just feels like he is going with this while they are working his exfiltration plan out.

What? Are they trying to say Trump was somehow involved in a criminal enterprise? What audacity to think dear leader Trump would ever be involved with corruption, influence peddling, or illegalities. Is this another burgeoning sh*t show? (Uh huh.)

Is the “senior Trump campaign official in May 2016” Paul Manafort? Manafort was with the presidential campaign from March to August 2016.
If yes, then this is interesting from wiki about Manafort:
" On August 17, 2016, Trump received his first security briefing. The same day, August 17, Trump shook up his campaign organization in a way that appeared to minimize Manafort’s role. It was reported that members of Trump’s family, particularly Kushner, who had originally been a strong backer of Manafort, had become uneasy about [Manafort]."

the main conduit for not only an Emirati influence campaign, but a Saudi one
Gosh. Haven’t heard mention of ‘Saudi’ since… oh, just about this time around 2001. Wait. Maybe when it was when they sawed up that American journalist. No… Gimme a minute… Was it their conversion to Christianity…?

All this influence peddling is just so…ham fisted. I’m not naive enough to think that in the past there weren’t transactional approaches to foreign policy, but come on Trumpers you all but flew the Goodyear Blimp with the signing listing prices for access.

What does the UAE get out of this? Is the US a proxy state, or is there some other issue like real estate? The UAE can influence the government simply by purchasing US treasuries, which it does, a lot. Why the need for being sneaky? About half of its $700 billion sovereign wealth fund is already parked in the US. Maybe some weapons system. Maybe Pompeo could clear this up. He seems to be hanging in Bakersfield for some reason doing the creamed-corn and tri-tip circuit.

Might be easier to list the Trump ‘advisors’ who weren’t on the payroll or an agent of a foreign government?

Somewhere in the account of the allegations about Barrack, there was a reference to Donnie’s attempt to export nuclear technology to the Gulf states.
Plus, the US turned a blind eye to UAE and Saudi Arabia’s pressure campaign against Qatar, among other goodies.
