    @Martin Alonzo I added it to my watch later because it was a longer video. I think it will be very interesting. I'm not sure if 'news' shouldn't become a retro word. We rarely get that any longer. We get a 'this is my opinion' version. We tend to listen when it lines up with our own opinion, but I'm not sure this is a well balanced approach either.

    I don't know if this should be in politics or news. If you just came across this and did not read it you would get the total wrong misleading news. Trying hard to involve Trump even when they write it like Mr. Trump's white house, not president's White House also no mention of visits to Obama White House. Never seen such dishonest reporting.

    An influential political power broker who was a witness named in the Mueller report was among eight people charged with conspiring to conceal the source of excessive contributions to groups supporting Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, the Justice Department announced on Tuesday.

    Prosecutors say George Nader, a Lebanese-American businessman who was a cooperating witness in Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, conspired with Ahmad “Andy” Khawaja, the owner of an online payments company, to conceal more than $3.5 million in donations to the groups. The donations let Mr. Khawaja gain access to Mrs. Clinton during the campaign, and he also visited with President Trump in the Oval Office, according to an investigation by The Associated Press last year.

    The indictment, unsealed on Tuesday, does not name Mrs. Clinton as the candidate who received the donations. But the indictment refers to a female candidate, and donor records indicate Mr. Khawaja gave Democrats and a political action committee supporting Mrs. Clinton millions of dollars.

    Mr. Nader, who has been a frequent visitor to Mr. Trump’s White House, has spent decades working in international diplomacy. He was an informal adviser to the United Arab Emirates’ crown prince, and he was depicted in the Mueller report as a power broker who would connect people associated with the Trump administration to interests in the Middle East and Russia. Mr. Nader frequently met with administration officials, including Stephen K. Bannon and Jared Kushner, and helped steer some White House policies.

    possessing child pornography. He was granted partial immunity in exchange for testifying in Mr. Mueller’s inquiry.

    Prosecutors said Mr. Khawaja made the donations in the names of himself, his wife and his business, but that the money actually came from Mr. Nader. While arranging the payments, Mr. Nader reported to an official of an unspecified foreign government about his efforts to gain influence, according to an indictment unsealed on Tuesday.

    Mr. Khawaja, who hosted a fund-raiser in Los Angeles for Mrs. Clinton in 2016, was charged with conspiracy, making illegal contributions through someone else, causing excessive contributions, making false statements, causing false records to be filed, and obstruction of a federal grand jury investigation.

    The indictment unsealed on Tuesday also said Mr. Khawaja conspired with Roy Boulos, Rudy Dekermenjian, Mohammad “Moe” Diab, Rani El-Saadi, Stevan Hill and Thayne Whipple to conceal more than $1.8 million in donations from March 2016 through 2018. They were charged with conspiring to make illegal campaign contributions through others and concealing excessive contributions.

    The investigation by The Associated Press in 2018 found that Mr. Khawaja’s company, Allied Wallet, helped merchants engaging in a variety of scams, including pornographers, debt collectors and offshore gamblers. The company donated at least $6 million to Republican and Democratic politicians, the report said.

    I believe the reporter was simply conveying the fact that President Trump is the current CIC only and not that it was in fact his and his alone. Any American realizes it belongs to the citizens who support the ediface itself.

    This Nader guy was a Hillary supporter and donated millions also was in the Mueller report many times and was given partial immunity. He was anti Trump a lot closer to the Clintons but what was the photo at the top of the article was Trump and Nader. Like I said totally two faced.
