SPUTNIKNEWS – May 20, 2018: Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into alleged foreign meddling in the 2016 US election is now looking into “social media manipulation” by an Israeli-linked company, The New York Times reported.
According to the report published in the New York Times: The special counsel’s team is investigating contacts between Joel Zamel, an Israeli social media expert, and George Nader, a special adviser to the UAE leaders, who purportedly offered to help Donald Trump win the presidential election race.
The New York Times article suggests that the third person, who served as a mediator, having arranged the meeting between the two, was Erik Prince, the former head of Blackwater, private security contractor.
The alleged meeting took place on August 3, 2016, three months ahead of the presidential election, with Nader telling Donald Trump Jr. that Saudi Arabia and the UAE are willing to assist his father in winning the election, while Zamel exalted his firm’s ability to boost a political campaign.
The report claimed that Nader transferred a generous amount of money (said to be close to $2 million) to Zamel after Trump was elected.
“There are conflicting accounts of the reason for the payment, but among other things, a company linked to Mr. Zamel provided Mr. Nader with an elaborate presentation about the significance of social media campaigning to Mr. Trump’s victory,” the report read.
“Neither Joel Zamel, nor any of his related entities, had any involvement whatsoever in the U.S. election campaign. The D.O.J. clarified from Day 1 that Joel and his companies have never been a target of the investigation. My client provided full cooperation to the government to assist with their investigation,” said the lawyer, Marc L. Mukasey.

Longtime Trump confidant Roger Stone pledged to have someone lined up to challenge Vice President Mike Pence should he run for president in 2020.
During an interview Friday (May 18) with Big League Politics, a right-wing news website, Stone suggested that President Trump may not ultimately run for re-election if his first term is adequately successful and denounced the possibility of a 2020 ticket with Pence and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley.

Obama spied on Trump’s campaign. Where’s the outrage?
WASHINGTONTIMES – May 20, 2018: It has been revealed, according to the Washington Times, that President Barack Obama’s Justice Department conducted a counterintelligence investigation into the Trump 2016 campaign. The investigation began 100 days before the presidential election and was executed with all the traditional tools of spy trade-craft including informants (spies) and electronic surveillance (wire tapping.)
These stunning revelations were memorialized in the bible of the Mainstream Media, the Gospel According to the New York Times.
After two years of every sentence of Trump’s rhetoric being shot through the lens of “Hitler” or “1930’s style fascist” or “Banana Republic dictator” it’s fair to ask where is the universal condemnation of the Obama/Lynch/Brennan/Clapper/Comey cabal’s Stalinesque escapade on behalf of their chosen candidate, Hillary Clinton?
In short, and with apologies to Bob Dole: Where’s the outrage? How has the brain-trust that powers the endless, navel-gazing round table discussions on Morning Joe, Hardball and every single program on CNN (shouldn’t some of their shows dabble in a varied format?) not found a way to muster the slightest inquisitive segment on what is clearly a historic story comparable to Watergate, Iran/Contra-gate or any other “hyphen gate” narratives they’ve thrown at the public over the past several decades?
