SIGNIFICANCE OF THE WHISTLEBLOWER COMPLAINT AGAINST SPECIAL COUNSEL (SC) JACK SMITH
On November 23, 2023, Former DEA Agent John Moynihan filed a whistleblower complaint with five Inspector General Offices of the U.S. Government alleging that Trump Prosecutor SC Smith was corrupt.
The following information in this document will provide additional proof for the American public by showing a continuing pattern of corrupt practices by Department of Justice (DOJ) Prosecutors and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents violating investigative policies, procedures, and the law by fabricating evidence of a crime and lying to the courts using bogus documents the Ukrainian black book ledger and the Steele dossier in the Crime of the Century the Russian Hoax Conspiracy as illustrated by the relationship between the DOJ and the FBI with Russian billionaire oligarch Oleg Vladimirovich Deripaska, who was under U.S. sanctions.
Deripaska is a Russian oligarch and industrialist who founded Basic Element, one of Russia's largest industrial groups, and Volnoe Delo, Russia's largest charitable foundation. Until 2018, he was the president of En+ Group, a Russian energy company; until 2018, he headed United Company Rusal, the second-largest aluminum company in the world. He was once Russia's richest man but lost much of his fortune amid the 2007–08 financial crisis. As of February 2020, Forbes estimated his wealth at $4.5 billion. Deripaska was also a close confidant of Russian President Vladimir Putin. 1
Special Counsel Mueller prosecuted Paul Manafort for his financial association with Deripaska, wherein Manafort was convicted on charges of unregistered foreign lobbying and witness tampering and sentenced to 81 months in Federal Prison. President Trump later pardoned Manafort. 2
The black book ledger found during a search warrant showing payments by a Ukrainian political party to Trump's then-campaign chairman, Paul Manafort. The documents, excerpts from a secret ledger of payments by the Party of Regions, led to Manafort's resignation from the Trump election campaign. The black ledger later was found to be bogus. The ledger and the Steele dossier were the documents that the DOJ/FBI and SC Mueller used to justify their investigations of President Trump in the Russian hoax Conspiracy and the House Impeachment Manager's claim that Trump's July 25, 2019, call was evidence of Trump's criminality of election interference. 3
The bogus ledger was used by the DOJ and FBI to resurrect a criminal case against Manafort that was dropped in 2014 and needed search warrants in 2017 for bank records to prove Manafort worked for the Russian-backed Party of Regions in Ukraine. Both the DOJ and the FBI knew that the document was fake as the FBI never authenticated it. The FBI agents and Mueller lead Prosecutor Andrew Weissmann on April 11, 2017, met with AP (Associated Press) reporters one day before they published a fake story reporting on April 12, 2017, to the public that the FBI found two payments to Manafort's company DMI in the ledger and that assisted the FBI in obtaining a search warrant from the court. 4
Reporter John Solomon of Hill.Com reported on May 14, 2018, article, that in 2009, when SC Mueller ran the FBI, the bureau asked Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska to spend millions of his dollars funding an FBI-supervised operation to rescue a retired FBI agent, Robert Levinson, captured in Iran while working for the CIA in 2007. 5
Solomon stated that reporter Barry Meier documented the FBI operation requesting Deripaska's help in a 2016 book. 6
Solomon sources said FBI agents courted Deripaska in 2009 in secret hotel meetings in Paris, Vienna, Budapest, Hungary, and Washington. Agents persuaded the aluminum industry magnate to underwrite the mission. The Russian billionaire insisted the operation neither involved nor harmed his homeland.
"We knew he was paying for his team helping us, and that probably ran into the millions," a U.S. official involved in the operation confirmed.
One agent who helped court Deripaska was Andrew McCabe, fired FBI deputy director who played a significant role in Acting Attorney Rod Rosenstein's decision to appoint Mueller as a Special Prosecutor in the Trump-Russia case as McCabe opened two criminal investigations against Trump after Trump fired Director James Comey. 7
[Note: The findings of the Durham report confirmed the analysis that the government had no evidence of Trump Russian collusion, the Russian collusion narrative was fabricated as part of a well-designed conspiracy plan initiated by Hillary Clinton and the DNC and that none of the FBI and Mueller investigations into Trump and Team Trump were legally predicated.] 8
Deripaska's lawyer said the Russian ultimately spent $25 million assembling a private search and rescue team that worked with Iranian contacts, and the FBI obtained Photos and videos indicating Levinson was alive.
According to Deripaska's lawyer and the Levinson family, in the fall of 2010, the operation secured an offer to free Levinson.
Solomon stated the FBI officials ended the operation in 2011, concerned that Deripaska's Iranian contacts couldn't deliver with all the U.S. infighting. Levinson's whereabouts remain a mystery to this day.
In January 2016, Steele notified Bruce Ohr, who was a Deputy Attorney General at DOJ, about lobbying on behalf of a Russian government-linked aluminum magnate Oleg Deripaska, in seeking a U.S. visa and reports to Ohr alleging Trump has ties to the Kremlin. 9
The Senate Intelligence Committee released a bipartisan report which shed light on the relationship between Ohr and Steele, which concluded that “Steele’s relationship with FBI began in the spring of 2010” when Ohr introduced Glen Simpson founder of fusion GPS to Steele. The committee said it was aware of 13 FBI 302’s with Ohr in 2016 and 2017, which Ohr said reflected 15-20 interviews total. Ohr also met with leaders at the FBI during the 2016 election about Steele’s Trump-Russia allegations, including with now-fired FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page. 10 11
The Senate report said that “multiple witnesses,” including Ohr and Simpson, “either told the Committee or implied to the Committee that Steele had a business relationship” with wealthy Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska. The report found that Deripaska “conducts influence operations, frequently in countries where he has a significant economic interest,” and “the Russian government coordinates with and directs Deripaska on many of his influence operations.” Steele and his company, Orbis Business Intelligence, were working for Deripaska in the lead-up to 2016, helping recover millions of dollars the Russian oligarch claimed former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort had allegedly stolen from him when the Republican operative worked for him.
The Federalist and The Epoch Times reporting confirmed extensive contacts between Christopher Steele, Deripaska, Eurasian oligarchs, and the FBI.
April 16, 2020, an article by the Federalist noted a one-sentence footnote declassified, further strengthening the case of possible Russian disinformation and raising several additional serious questions. "Sensitive source reporting from June 2017 indicated that a person affiliated to Russian Oligarch 1 was possibly aware of Steele's election investigation as of early July 2016," the footnote reads. 12
The Federalist reported that Russian Oligarch 1 was the moniker the DOJ Inspector General (OIG) Horowitz used to refer to Vladimir Putin's close confidant, aluminum oligarch Oleg Deripaska. According to the Horowitz report, Deripaska's attorney had hired Steele "to work on Russian Oligarch 1's litigation matters." Horowitz also noted Steele passed his "intel" to DOJ attorney Bruce Ohr, who was "advocating on behalf of one of Russian Oligarch 1's companies regarding U.S. sanctions."
The Epoch Times reported that the OIG found that Steele communicated in 2015 with representatives of multiple oligarchs with "connections to Russian Intelligence Services (RIS) and senior Kremlin officials." 13
According to the Epoch Times, Steele's FBI handler "did not recall if he told the Crossfire Hurricane team about Steele's connection to" Deripaska, but "he said he did inform the team that Steele collected intelligence on Russian oligarchs and had tried to arrange meetings between the FBI and Russian oligarchs."
According to the Daily Caller, the FBI identified Igor Danchenko as Steele's source on January 13, 2017, and conducted interviews with him from Jan. 24-26, 2017. The FBI's memo says that Danchenko spoke to the FBI and prosecutors under a proffer agreement. 14
Danchenko told the FBI that he met Steele several years before the start of the Trump investigation. Steele testified in a British court case in March that he paid the source up to $5,000 a month on retainer.
Danchenko told the FBI that in March 2016, Steele asked him to look into Paul Manafort, a Republican political operative who joined the Trump campaign a month later. Steele worked for a law firm representing Oleg Deripaska, a Russian oligarch who had a business dispute with Manafort. Danchenko told the FBI he was perplexed by Steele's tasking because he knew little about Manafort. He said Steele tasked him with working on the Trump project several months later.
According to the Daily Caller, Danchenko worked as a Russia analyst for five years at the Brookings Institution. While there, he wrote a paper with Fiona Hill, who joined the Trump White House in 2017 as its top Russia expert and testified as a witness in the first impeachment trial of Trump in December 2019. Danchenko went on to work for Sidar Global Advisory, a Washington, D.C.-based consulting group.
According to the findings in the Durham report the FBI and CIA could not resolved whether Igor Danchenko was a Russian Intelligence Agent, as Danchenko was Steele primary sub source for the dossier. 15
Danchenko was the subject of an FBI Baltimore office espionage investigation in 2010 that determined that Danchenko had ties to the Russian Intelligence Service (RIS).
In March 2011, the FBI closed its investigation, believing Danchenko had left the country to return to Russia.
However, Danchenko never left the country but stayed in Virginia. Durham found that the FBI never considered the possibility that the information Danchenko provided to Steele in whole or in part was Russian disinformation, even those the two FBI case agents said Danchenko had ties to RIS.
In 2017, the FBI made Danchenko a paid informant and hid his identity from Congress and the public despite the FBI Source Coordinator saying that Danchenko was probably a Russian double agent.
The Durham investigation uncovered the relationship between Danchenko and Charles Dolan, a DNC operative and Registered Agent for the Russian Federation. Dolan provided the fake pee information to Danchenko, which became part of the Steele dossier. Durham found that Deputy FBI Director McCabe restricted the FBI investigations into the Clinton Foundation of pay for play scheme.
On November 23, 2023, former DEA Agent John Moynihan filed a whistleblower complaint with the Inspector General Offices of the Department of State (DOS), Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Intelligence Community, and the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) for the Department of Justice (DOJ) against Special Counsel Jack Smith. 16
Moynihan alleges that Special Counsel Jack Smith, the lead prosecutor on the prosecution of former President Trump, is corrupt and part of a Kosovo extortion ring. Moynihan is a well-respected agent in the Rule of Law community and an expert on financial investigations; his record speaks for itself.
Moynihan bases his knowledge on his interviews with multiple witnesses who have first-hand knowledge of an alleged extortion ring set up within the Kosovo Specialist Chambers, a European Union initiative ratified by the Kosovo parliament to prosecute war crimes.
The affidavits in Moynihan's whistleblower complaint state that the extortion ring operated within the Kosovo Specialist Chambers in 2016. The declarations named Mr. Jack Smith, Esquire ("Smith") as an active participant in a scheme that extorted millions of dollars from wealthy individuals targeted for investigation/prosecution by investigation/prosecution by the Kosovo Special Prosecutor's Office (SPO).
Former CIA Employee Larry Johnson published an article in the Gateway Pundit on December 13, 2023, laying out the circumstantial evidence in the Moynihan complaint supporting Donald Trump's belief that Jack Smith is politically motivated and corrupt. 17 [Note: Johnson has written several other pieces that are still relevant and provide some important facts about the FBI/DOJ/CIA plan to smear Trump and create false criminal predicates that could be used to entrap Trump and his team.] 18 19
Johnson highlights the affidavits from four people with ties to Kosovo — Milaim Zeka, Edlira Qefalija, Halit Sahitaj, and Darko Perovic. Johnson said the sworn testimony of Halit Sahitaj provided the most damaging account of Jack Smith's role in the extortion scheme at the ICJ and raised serious questions about the integrity of the Court and its trials.
Sahitaj says he learned of the extortion scheme from a man who used the name "Florian," who claimed to be an American working for the CIA. Johnson said "Florian's" real name is Faik Imeri, and he is listed as a Belgian, not an American, on his driver's license. Florian/Imeri first contacted Sahitaj in February 2022.
According to Johnson, Imeri is not just some bloke masquerading as a CIA asset. He had a direct relationship with Jack Smith, and he introduced Halit to Jack Smith, according to Sahitaj's affidavit. Sahitaj, an Albanian by birth, lives in Spain and is a wealthy businessman with contacts throughout the Balkans and Russia. Sahitaj purported that Florian tasked him with finding Russian oligarchs who were on the U.S. sanction list so that they could offer assistance to get them off the list or keep them off the list.
According to Sahitaj, Smith's interest in the Russians had a U.S. connection — Hillary Clinton. Sahitaj stated that near the end of January, Florian called him to tell him that he had spoken with Jack Smith. Sahitaj claimed Florian told him that Jack Smith wanted to know if Potanin still possessed evidence of corruption by Hillary Clinton. Or if he had shared the evidence with anyone in the Secret Service. 20 Exhibit C, page 7
A review of Moynihan's whistleblower complaint is significant as the documents shows a connection between one of the affiants, Millan Zaker, and Charles McGonigal, the former head of counterintelligence for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in New York.
Zaker stated in his declaration that he met McGonigal and his associate Agron Nazer in a restaurant in Albania. Per Zaker's affidavit, Zaker met McGonigal and another FBI agent, Rossini, who opened a business in Albania with Nazer and another person. McGonigal's relationship with Deripaska, laundering payments for Deripaska, who was under U.S. sanctions, establishes a pattern of Conspiracy of the DOJ/FBI offering assistance to Deripaska that connects DOJ/FBI in the Russian Hoax conspiracy.
McGonigal retired from the FBI in 2018 and was part of the FBI Senior Leadership cabal in 2016-2017 that investigated the fabricated allegations against Candidate Trump and later President Trump of colluding with the Russians.
McGonigal pleaded guilty in federal Court in Manhattan in August 2023 to a single reduced charge of conspiring to violate U.S. sanctions and laundering payments from a prominent Russian billionaire oligarch, Oleg V. Deripaska, who was under U.S. sanctions. McGonigal admitted he aided Deripaska to investigate a rival. McGonigal was sentenced to four years in prison for colluding with the Russians. 21
The importance of the McGonigal-Deripaska connection is that McGonigal was head of the FBI NY office for counterintelligence during the Crossfire Hurricane investigations into Trump and his team. McGonigal played a role in the FBI cover-up. Under McGonigal, the FBI NY office, on April 1, 2016, opened an espionage investigation on Team Trump member Carter Page, knowing Carter was a CIA asset and that there was no legal prediction to investigate Trump or members of his team.
The FBI lied to the public when they said the origins of their Crossfire Hurricane investigation began in May 2016 with the meeting between Australian Ambassador Downer and George Papadopoulos. The Durham findings found that the true origins of the Clinton-DNC-Obama-Biden Conspiracy plan started in December 2015 when the British Intelligence Service advised CIA Director Brennan of their intercepted conversations of Russian Officials discussing Trump.
Failure of both the Mueller and Durham investigations in following the investigative leads as to the origins of the Russian Hoax Conspiracy to their logical conclusions allowed the DOJ and FBI to cover up the crime of the century, the Russian hoax conspiracy.
To date, there have been no Federal investigations to investigate Hillary Clinton/DNC's Conspiracy Plan to interfere in the 2016 POTUS election, the roles of Obama and Biden in the continuation of the Conspiracy agreement of promoting the Russian Hoax, Charles Dolan and Danchenko's ties to Russia, Hillary Clinton and John Podesta's ties to Russian oligarchs and government officials.
Instead, you have a corrupt Attorney General and allegations of extortion against DOJ SC Smith pursuing Trump by indicting him for interference in the 2020 POTUS, based on the Democrats and the January 6th Committee allegations of Trump's belief that there was massive voter fraud in the rigging of the 2020 election and that Trump comments claiming the election was fraudulent incited the "insurrection."
When you connect the dots of the Russian reset, the Russian Uranium and Iranian deals, and Hillary's and Biden's pay-for-play influencing enrichment schemes, the commonality is that they are the ones who compromised National Security by allowing our adversaries to access our technology. The mere fact that Obama and Hillary, in collusion with big tech back in early 2010, set up a Russian version of Silicon Valley with Google and other Big Tech companies says it all.
Now you have an Obama Netflix movie warning of a Chinese cyber-attack on the U.S. Where do you think the Chinese got the technology from?
After the Mueller investigation published its findings in April 2019, there was no collusion between Trump, members of his team, and the Russians. I conducted an investigative analysis based on 30 years of investigative experience working complex conspiracy investigations for Federal prosecutions to see if I could answer the million-dollar question of how a Democrat National Committee (DNC) disinformation document, the Steele dossier, that became the centerpiece of the National Security agencies, CIA, FBI and DOJ, investigations of Trump and members of his team?
The review consisted of reviewing the voluminous amount of open-source media reporting by comparing the information reported by the media with the facts contained in declassified documents and government investigative findings.
My analysis found evidence of the Crime of the Century by unraveling the Conspiracy by answering the five questions "Who, What, When, Where, Why, and "How" of a Machiavellian Conspiracy plan by Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Committee, President Obama, and Vice President now President Biden to destroy the Trump presidency by interfering in 2016, 2020, and upcoming 2024 elections. [See reference 22 that lay out the scope and extent of the Conspiracy.]
For those not in the Rule of Law (ROL), when a criminal investigator can answer the 5 Ws and the How questions, they have established a prima facie case by meeting the elements of a criminal statute for criminal investigation and prosecution.
The findings in the Durham report confirmed my analysis, where Durham showed that there was never any legal basis for the FBI investigations into Trump and his team members nor justification for the Scope memo and appointment of a Special Counsel.
More importantly, Durham established a conspiracy agreement as part of a well-designed conspiracy plan initiated by Hillary Clinton, DNC, approved by Obama and Biden, implicating them in the Crime of the Century, the Conspiracy to destroy a duly elected President and interference in two elections 2016 and 2020.
Additionally, the allegations made by the FBI and IRS whistleblowers, the release of the Twitter files, and a lawsuit filed by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt exposed the roles of both the DOJ and the FBI by censuring and suppressing information in the greatest cover-up from the American public of learning the truth of how they fabricated the Russian collusion narrative by knowingly and willfully using a suspected Russian Intelligence Agent, Igor Danchenko who was the subject of an FBI Baltimore office espionage investigation in 2010 that determined that Danchenko had ties to the Russian Intelligence Service (RIS). Danchenko was Christoper Steele's primary sub-source for the dossier.
The findings to date have exposed the corruption of how the Obama and Biden Administrations have weaponized both the DOJ and FBI as political instruments to go after those who opposed them in implementing their political agenda by criminalizing political differences.
With the 2024 Presidential election less than 11 months away, it is time for the House Oversight Committee to focus on transparency in exposing the cover-ups and culture of corruption within the FBI and DOJ. Congress needs to ask and get answers to the forbidden question of how the premier law enforcement agency, the FBI, allowed a suspected Russian Spy and Democratic operative behind the Steele dossier, which led to the DOJ appointing a Special Prosecutor, putting the country through two years of civil discourse and hell?
In closing, I want to point out to the country the double standard of selective prosecution in prosecuting Trump for failure to transfer Presidential power while ignoring the actions of Obama in the transfer of Presidential power between himself and incoming President-elect Trump in 2016 as transfer of power did not occur when President Obama decided on January 5, 2017, for the FBI and U.S. intelligence agencies to withhold intelligence information from President Trump regarding Russia due to the FBI counterintelligence investigation into members of the Trump transition team. Documentary evidence disclosed that President Obama and Vice President Biden discussed the framing of General Flynn for the Logan Act violation during this meeting.
