State. That person reports to jared. The New York Times and the Financial Times report in detail today that the preparations for the critical meeting this week with president xi of china, those prepositions are being led by jared also. Jared has been been put in charge with relations with china more broadly including preparing for the president ial meeting. He has been put in charge of u. S. Relations with canada and u. S. Relations with mexico, including building the wall. He has been put in charge of all trade deals. The Washington Post reported last week hes in charge of reimagining the veterans administration. Hes also been put in charge of the National Broad band policy and criminal Justice Reform and the rebuilding of the nations infrastructure. He also sits in on National SecurityCouncil Principles meetings when it comes time to discuss the Nuclear Threat from north korea. And now today, baghdad. Busy young man. Hopefully he was adequately prepared for all these enormous responsibilities by his vast life and Work Experience which consists entirely of him inheriting his fathers real estate business. He also did have to run business himself for a time while his dad was in prison. But he has this remarkable portfolio, maybe an unprecedented portfolio of both international and domestic responsibilities within the administration. And that portfolio is made all the more remarkable by the fact that his wife, the president s daurks will get a senior white house job. We know shes already sitting in on many of the most highprofile visits by many foreign leaders to the United States. Between her and her husband, their experience and expertise in the world lies in the fields of real estate and jewelry marketing. But the two of them will be now in charge of the most important and sensitive stuff in the government of the richest and most powerful nation on earth. Incidentally i should mention we learned that the administration has now found a new job as well for laura trump. Who . Lau laura. Laura is erics wife. The firm that ones the digit side of the campaign will ploy laura, eric trumps wife. I have no idea what her Work Experience is, but im sure shes the best qualified person in america for that job, whatever that job is. In the past weve had like, you know, a first lady who worked on health policy. Once had we had a president who hired his brother as attorney general. But weve come to think of those things as exceptions to the rule. We never thought of ourselves as a country where you day and kusay get to be whatever they want. Now thats what we are. And here is a rude consequence of that for our new ruling family. This remarkable consolidation, beyond that backgrounds just a remarkable thing in itself, today this new thing that weve got as a country, this skolgts of American Government power in the Nuclear Family of the president , today that potentially started to become a liability for the administration and for the government in terms of the most serious scandal that looms over the new administration. This is fci ukten. Federal correctional institution. Its a low security prison in ohio. 200 male prisoners there. This weekend, that particular prison released a russian spy. Technically his release date was not until the end of july, but they let him out on friday with time off for good behavior. That said, this russian spy was not released back into the community at large when he got sprung from federal prison on friday, the federal prison system released him to immigration and customs authorities because as part of his plea deal, he agreed held immediately agree that they would deport him back to russia. This guy who was just sprung from prison, yes, i have geni bureau i cantkov. When the fbi busted the spy ring he was part of in 2015, there were three alleged spies who were named in the criminal indictment, the indictment was brought by Preet Bhararas office in the Southern District of new york. But he was one of the three people named in this ring. Hes the one they kauchlgt they arrested him january 2015 at a spectacular in river dale new york. By the time they brought those charges, the other two guys had fled back to russia all right. One of them has been employed as a trade representative for the Russian Federation in the United States, and the other was a attache at the United States. They both went back to moscow. They both escaped being arrested by the fbi. But this guy who got caught, whos been in prison until this weekend, this guy who they actually nailed, he didnt have an official government cover job like the other two did. They were all named in the indictment. The other two had cover jobs working for the russian government his cover job was a nonofficial cover. He was an employee of a russian bank called the v. E. B. He was the number two at v. E. B. When he was arrested and charged with being a spy and put on trial, his employers, this russian bank paid for his legal defense. And that wasnt all they paid for. On the day that he got arrested at the supermarket, his wife and two kids reportedly fled their home and went to the the building that houses the Russian Mission in new york. Associates then reportedly ran sacked the apartment the family had lived in. Hes in fbi custody, the what kind of and kids have gone to the Russian Mission. Associates tore the apartment apart, smashed up the wall board, broke the place apart. Theyre looking for anything he might have left behind or listening devices that the fbi might have hidden in his family apartment. Apparently the fbi had put both cameras and microphones all over the family apartment. But by the time his so he talks were tearing the place apart, the fbi had reportedly taken them all back. This is like amazing spy movie stuff, but think about the practicalities of it. You can imagine how his landlord felt about the state of the that apartment when he found out his tenths going to prison, the rest of his family has fled, and now hes got this literally mess on his hands. Once again, the bank came to the rescue. In addition to financing his legal defense, the bank reportedly settled with the landlord for about 45,000 to cover the cost of the damage done to that house when his friend tore the place apart after he got arrested by the fbi and charged with being a spy. All the stories of how he handed off intel to the other russian spies who were in this ring with him and the drama of his arrest and family fleeing in the dead of night into the residentura, but that bank and that spy scandal are turning out to be a pesky asterisk that keeps getting affixed to lots of things about the new Trump Administration, because that bank where he was secretly working as a russian spy, that is a staterun russian bank. Russian Prime Minister medvedev is on the supervisory board. The chairman of that bank started his career by going to the kbg school. That fsbtrained chairman of the bank was handpicked to be chairman of the bank by Vladimir Putin himself last year. That bank for a million reasons should have a flashing red light when it comes to Russian Operations here in the United States. It was a matter of Public Record that bank harbored a high level spy who was working there as cover and paid for his defense and cleaning up his apartment. Thats why it was astonishing news a week ing a today when the New York Times reported that Jared Kushner had not disclosed a meeting he too during the president ial transition with e chairman of that bank, with the putin hand picked fsb chairman of the spy bank who apparently met in person with Jared Kushner in december. Jared kushner never closed that meeting despite all the other troubles that have playground this Young Administration about their undisclosed contacts with russian officials. For whatever reason, Jared Kushner did not disclose that meeting until it was reported in the New York Times today. That alone is sort of problematic enough when it comes to someone with a portfolio with a desk and International Portfolio that hes been assigned by his fatherinlaw in the new administration. Troubling enough. But now buzzfeed adds their new scoop tonight. As i mentioned, this spy ring that got busted by the fbi, three russian guys, one guy who had what they call nonofficial cover who worked at this bank. The other two guys, their cover jobs were official government positions. One was a trade representative for russia. One of them worked at the Russian Mission to the u. N. When it came time for at home feed their stolen documents and intel from their spy ring back to moscow, what would happen is these two guys who had official cover, they would take care of that part of it. Not the guy who worked at the bank because he had no relationship with the russian government. But the other guys who had official cover and russian government jobs, whenever they had anything though transmit home, they would go to the residentura, a secure facility where they could make encrypted transmissions back to moscow center, back to spy headquarters in russia. The fbi ranged to have somebody feed these guys sensitive stolen documents. And they handed these documents over in binders. And these russian guys, these spies, they took the binders with this juicy intel into the residentura in new york and the fbi had hidden microphones inside the binders. And he got the listen to everything these guys said, even though they thought they were in the most secure environment. Inside the Russian Mission they thought they were essentially on russian soil. They certainly had diplomatic immunity, they were in russian space, but the documents they had were bugged. There were microphones in the binders. So the fbi got hours and hours of tape off those microphones in the binders of these guys talking when they were sure nobody could hear them. One of the things those guys talked about was the other guy in their spy ring who worked in the bank. Thats how they got him. Another thing was their repeated efforts to recruit americans for their spying efforts. When this case broke open in 2015 and they released the indictment, a lot of the News Coverage was about the facts he wanted to target College Girls in new york to be russian assets. That had a nice tabloid appeal to it, even though the indictment didnt indicate they had too much success with the College Girls effort. Where they did have success was with male number one. A quote from the indictment here. Quote, arbitrator april 8th 2013, the defendant discussed efforts working as an intelligence source. What i will quote you is a conversation wean the two russian spies, the guys who got charged but already fled back to moscow. This is the two guys who are now back in moscow who never got arrested. This is them speaking at the residentura having no idea theyre being sur veiled. This is the fbi translation. Male one wrote that hes soifrmt he went to moscow and forgot to check his inbox. But he wants to meet when he gets back. I keep hes an idiot and forgot who i am. He writes to me in russian to practice the language. He got hooked on gazprom. Its obviously he wants to earn lots of money. Spy number two says, without a doubt. Then he says theyve new project right now. Its about to take off. I do not say anything fornow. The other spy says, first well spend a couple borrowed millions. And then the first spy laughs. And then says this, quote, its worth it. I like that he takes on everything. For now his enthusiasm works for me. I also promised him a lot. I have connections in the trade representation, meaning you, that you could push contracts. I will feed him empty promises. And then the other spywaerz, hes bleep, no, then hell write me, or write to our clean one. Meaning he will write to the trade Representatives Office and accidentally not talk to a spy. Helmeted talk to a real trade rep. Wouldnt that be terrible for their recruitment efforts . The first guy says dont worry about it. I did not even say this was connected to a government agency. How else to work with foreigners . This was a conversation sur veiled by the fbi through their magic microphone in the binders trick. That conversation happened in april 2013. They are talking about an american citizen. Theyre talking about recruiting an American Asset if their spying. That happens in april. In june the fbi decides to act. They paid that american guy a visit. Quote, on or about june 13th, 2013, agent two and i interviewed male one he said he first met the defendant on january 2013 at an Energy Symposium in the city. During this time he gave him his business card. They changed emails about the Energy Business and met in person on occasion with male one providing the defendant with male ones outlook on the energy industry. Male one also provided documents to the defendant about the Energy Business. So forget the College Girls thing which didnt work out for them. This is what the russian spies were after. This is start of h they cultivate northerns betray the United States. Start off friendly with a business relationship or an academic relationship. Start off with could just let us know your own thoughts on specific industries or specific things in the u. S. Government. Maybe you could help us by showing documents from those industries. Lets stay in touch and start a transactional relationship. Id love to see those documents, what else do you have . This is how they did it, right . Maybe it turns into something, maybe it doesnt, but you cultivate assets. This is why theyre here instead of working at home in moscow. Buzzfeed news reports tonight that male 1 in that indictment is the Trump CampaignForeign Policy adviser carter page. He was recruited by russian spies in new york city in 2013. He was successfully recruited. He handed them documents and information to help them and was enthusiastic about their relationship. That adviser carter page met with a russian intelligence operative named victory who was later charged along side two others for acting as unregistering agents of a foreign government. A former Campaign Adviser met with and passed documents to a russian intelligence operative in new york city in 2013. The adviser met with the russian intelligence operative named victor with two others. Quote, a court filing by the u. S. Government contains a transcript of a reported conversation in question he speaks with one of the other men busted in the spy ring, igor sporchev. Heres my favorite part. Buzzfeed news has confirmed how did they confirm hes male one . Quote, carter page confirmed to Buzzfeed News on monday that he is male 1 in the court filing and said he had been in contact with podobney. So jareds in baghdad at the i object have itation of the joint chiefs. Theres nothing too sensitive for jared to be involved in, let alone to be refund in this new administration. He is leading u. S. Preparation for the china meeting. He was at the table for the decision for launching the yemen raid that killed a u. S. Navy seal. At a scary time in terms of north Koreas Nuclear capabilities, hes at the head. He will have to make time in his incredibly busy schedule to testify to the Senate Intelligence committee about why, during the president ial transition, he met with the fsbtrained official who Vladimir Putin hand stloektd lead a Russian State Bank that the currently sanctioned by the u. S. Government and that harbored a russian spy network in this country that among other things crude a trump Foreign Policy advisor as a russian intelligence asset just a few years ago. Amid all the worry and focus and scandal and investigations about the russian attack on our election last year and contact between Trump Campaign and russian firms, amid all that, he took that meeting in december with the guy from the russian bank and he never said a word about it until a newspaper reported it.
