In Aug. 2001, “A” wrote to Maxwell: “I am up here at Balmoral Summer Camp for the Royal Family” before adding: “Have you found me some new inappropriate friends? Let me know when you are coming over as I am free from 25th August until 2nd Sept and want to go somewhere hot and sunny with some fun people.”

Maxwell replies: “So sorry to dissappoint [sic] you, however the truth must be told. I have only been able to find appropriate friends.”“A” responds: “Distraught!” before adding that he has left the “RN”.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, left the Royal Navy in 2001. There is no suggestion that the emails indicate criminal wrongdoing.

Fuckin’ what

Grab Snatch

Spotp’lah!

Ask me about long distance

The 90’s was the woke version

YES!! HA HAAA!!! You did it, Buffy Fish! You’re the Owl of the Year!!1!

Amazing! The people have spoken! Buffy Fish for all!

It is both

Trump supporters whose Russia shirts went viral: ‘We’re not traitors’

Those archive.today links didn’t work for me, but that could just be me. The “studies” are opinions otherwise and if you want to pick one, I’ll kick it apart but I’m not going to go through all of them.

They are very well camouflaged!

Mister Terwilliger! Come quick!

There’s been a accident down t’ the cement mixer, sir!

No we don’t. Fucking demented rapist traitor.

The feuding threatened to eclipse efforts to memorialize Charlie Kirk, the organization’s charismatic founder

HAHAHAHA as charismatic as a hemorrhoid.

I see what you did there

Surely this . . .

Hey 1000 FBI dogsbodies can only redact so much in a year!

I think that DCJ piece is good, and clearly ‘mob’ connections are rife, but outside of that early-80’s wash of Roy Cohn and the ready-mix concrete guys, there’s not a lot more specific to Italian mafia.

I read that Giuliani’s ‘cleanup’ of Italian mobsters allowed in the russians which was duly appreciated. Early 80s is the same time the Kremlin started to keep tabs on Trump, giving him a tour and business opportunities then.

Felix Sater, Michael Cohen, Rybolovlev and others who consistently and repeatedly appear in any honest accounting of his blatantly illegal dealings.

Unger’s account of infiltration also exposes how Trump’s financial entanglements laid the groundwork for this betrayal. In the 1980s, as Trump struggled with debt from failing casinos and overextended real estate ventures, Soviet-linked financiers appeared, flush with cash.

Deals involving Trump Tower properties drew in shadowy buyers connected to Russian organized crime and intelligence fronts. Even when Western banks deemed him too risky, new Russian-linked money never seemed to dry up. Each transaction pulled him closer into Moscow’s orbit.

By the time the Soviet Union collapsed, Russian oligarchs kept the pipeline open, ensuring that Trump’s business empire would survive—and remain beholden to foreign backers whose first loyalty was to the Kremlin. (via)

So while there certainly were ties to Italian mafia, his later business and almost all of his political life is awash in russian mob ties. Given that russia is run by mafias-within-mafias that’s not so surprising, is it.

😆

Agreed!

We wish!
We wish!
A win for Buffy Fish!

A final cheer
Owl of the Year!
Fantastic Buffy Fish!

Yeah! Whoo! Go! Yeaah!
