March 6, 2018: George Nader Cooperating with the Mueller Investigation

 

3/6/18: We learn today that George Nader, a Lebanese American businessman, has begun cooperating with Robert Mueller. Nader works as an adviser to Crown Prince Mohammed and the United Arab Emirates. 

He normally travels in rarified circles. 

Media reports say he was stopped by F.B.I agents after landing at Dulles International Airport in January. They handed him a subpoena, relieved him of his electronic devices and questioned him for two hours. 

This meant he missed his connecting flight to…Mar-a-Lago…where he had hoped to help the president celebrate his first year in office. 

What did the F.B.I. want to know? And what is Mueller asking Nader about? One possibility is that Nader funneled money from the U.A.E. into the Trump campaign. That would be flagrantly illegal.

 

Nader also attended a meeting in the Seychelles Islands (population: 94,677) in January 2017. If you’re like me, you’re going to have to google the islands to find out where they are. Nader found them. So did Erik Prince, brother of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, founder of Blackwater Security, and at the time an informal adviser to the Trump transition team. 

Who else flew to the islands, just because they are so conveniently located? Kirill Dmitriev, representing Vladimir Putin. 

You can probably guess where this is going. Dmitriev managed a powerful Russian trust fund, sanctioned by President Obama. 

According to The New York Times, Nader has since been questioned repeatedly about a variety of meetings, including at least one with Jared Kushner and Steve Bannon at the White House. 

Mr. Prince has denied any secret deals were discussed during this meeting. He just happened to run into Dmitriev, and they had a friendly drink. 

In the Seychelles.

Just a coincidence: Prince and the Russian meet up in a bar.

 

BLOGGER’S NOTE: The Mueller Report proves that Prince was lying when he said he just happened to meet Dmitriev for a drink. The meeting had been arranged by Nader, at Dmitriev’s request. Nader later gets indicted for sex trafficking of a minor; see: 6/4/19. 

In June 2020, he pleads guilty and is sentenced to spend ten years in jail.
