President BIDEN's DOJ Arrests Dr. GAL LUFT for Revealing Biden Family Crimes.

a reply to: carewemust

Why do you always make false statements in your threads? You claim in your thread's title that Luft has been arrested, when in fact he is a fugitive and has been for a while. He's been charged in absentia by the DOJ. Why on earth couldn't the title of your thread been at least that honest? Why should anyone believe anything you write when you lie in the very title of your threads? I'll remind you once again as well that your sig is a completely made up quote. This is at least the 5th time that I have called you out regarding this falsehood you're peddling.

Shame on you.

And this so-called whistleblower Luft has been charged with multiple crimes. No doubt, you and your fellow travelers will claim they're made up charges; however, they sure seem to be charges that would be hard to make up and stick against a person who hadn't actually committed them. If they're made-up charges, then it ought to be very easy for Luft to vindicate himself in court. However, as is, he is a fugitive from justice in Cypress on related charges.

U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said: “As alleged, Gal Luft, a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen and co-head of a Maryland think tank, engaged in multiple, serious criminal schemes. He subverted foreign agent registration laws in the United States to seek to promote Chinese policies by acting through a former high-ranking U.S. Government official; he acted as a broker in deals for dangerous weapons and Iranian oil; and he told multiple lies about his crimes to law enforcement. As the charges unsealed today reflect, our Office will continue to work vigorously with our law enforcement partners to detect and hold accountable those who surreptitiously attempt to perpetrate malign foreign influence campaigns here in the United States.”

I have been asking this question to CWM for months on end now. Good luck on getting an answer

The left are like. LOL you trust the word of a guy who has been arrested by the DOJ?

man, we really are living in 2 different realities.

one where we see the corruption and the truth and the other where that corruption is justified and the truth is considered lies.

weird time to be alive.

I laughed when the FBI defended itself from charges of its protecting the Biden Crime Cartel but then claimed to be working against drug cartels to prove their commitment to the American people. Biden, the DOJ, FBI, CIA, they all need to go. The DOD isn't looking to good, either.

Not holding my breath that we will be better in 18 months.

Just got a bad feeling.

But how is this guy not a protected whistleblower?
Shouldn't he be?

He can be a whistleblower and commit a crime at the same time.. the two things are not mutually exclusive.

Yeah, let's get rid of our entire intelligence network... that will certainly put us in a great position against our adversaries. /sarcasm

They are not. However, he was indicted last year and now suddenly, once on the lam from the charges, he has this info?

Not sketchy to you at all? He just sat on this for 3 or 4 years? But now that he's facing serious time, he suddenly remembered it or something? And now members of the GOP have thrown the immunity word around for him.

And it's rich coming from the same group that for some reason has disputed testimony from non law breaking, under oath Trump attorneys,employees and long time Republican party members.

The greatest threat to America and Democracy, is Right Wing Extremists and White Nationals. With what we know about these groups, size, logistics, and management they can easily be handled by State and Local Agencies.

Perhaps DutchOwl has a point. We don't need billion ( thats million with a B) dollar agencies to track inbred maga-bois and red kneck cousin-kissers do we ?

Didn’t Trump appoint Wray?

That's the trouble you run into when entering a new profession as a leader. You have to listen to the personnel recommendations of others who have experience in that profession.

If its a nest of crooks, and protectors of crooks recommending each other, there's nothing you can do, except do a better job next time.

That's what Donald Trump promises to do in 2025, and why former FBI Director James Comey says Trump will be so "dangerous" if re-elected.

So please tell us what kind of winners Trump is going to appoint this time? I hear the pillow guy has a lot of free time on his hands now ...

One of the crimes he was indicted for is lying to the FBI. This charge stems from a meeting he had with the FBI in 2019 where he supposedly discussed his evidence with them.

While a person can be a whistleblower and a criminal at the same time, this is not one of those cases. This is the case of a Chinese spy attempting to destabilize the US government while saving his own ass in the process.

"aTHANK GOD that in just 18 months, Americans will turn control of our country over to a sane President and Administration!"

You sure about that?? I think that the powers that be have a different idea. reply to: carewemust

Turns out the GOP's whistleblower is a spy for China. I love it. Too funny. Another nothing-burger from the nut-burgers.

Watching the mental gymnastics is endlessly entertaining. Can you imagine if this Luft guy was a Democrat whistle blower in one of trump's many many court cases? Cult45 would absolutely melt down.

Hearsay of a fugitive Chinese spy is their smoking gun. I mean lol.

Can be handled by state and local agencies? Huh!?!?!?!? So never mind criminals crossing state borders? Or then requiring all states and other US territories to have intelligence divisions that cover the entire US. How about having one centralized federal agency for monitoring and fighting interstate crime, conspiracies and foreign espionage?

Given that these right-wing extremists can commit massive crimes, such as the OK City bombing, perhaps the resources of the federal government should be involved. Also considering how people are also more closely connected across the country in the age of the internet, it makes sense to have the feds, who have a lot more computer power and signal intelligence, be involved in monitoring the activities of right-wing and any-other-wing extremists who believe they have a legitimate use of violence for their political ends. Don't know if you're being facetious or not in your use of "inbred" and "cousin-kissers" in describing these people. They're human beings, and as such they can be clever, devious and conspiratorial, whatever their political leanings are.

So basically you're for defunding the federal police and justice system, huh? And here I thought the MAGA crowd like to attack BLM and other leftist groups for their calls to defund the police.

Um, you might want to actually research what the hell you're talking about before sticking your foot in your mouth.

First, LUFT conspired with others in an effort to act within the United States to advance the interests of the People’s Republic of China (“China”) as agents of China-based principals, without registering as foreign agents as required under U.S. law. As part of this scheme, while serving as the co-director of a Maryland-based non-profit think tank, LUFT agreed to covertly recruit and pay, on behalf of principals based in China, a former high-ranking U.S. Government official (“Individual-1”), including in 2016 while the former official was an adviser to the then-President-elect, to publicly support certain policies with respect to China without LUFT or Individual-1 filing a registration statement as an agent of a foreign principal with the Attorney General of the United States, in violation of FARA. Among other things, in the weeks before the 2016 U.S. presidential election, LUFT and a co-conspirator (“CC-1”), who is a Chinese national and worked for a Chinese nongovernmental organization affiliated with a Chinese energy company, created a written “dialogue” between CC-1 and Individual-1, in which LUFT wrote Individual-1’s responses and included information that was favorable to China. The dialogue was then published in a Chinese newspaper online and sent to, among others, individuals in the United States, including a journalist and professors at multiple U.S. universities. When LUFT was writing the dialogue, CC-1 told LUFT that “n these articles, we do not want to spill all the beans yet, just enough to let ‘people’ know he [i.e., Individual-1] is in the corridor of power to be. Just broad stroke policy consideration that leaves plenty of room for interpretation and imagination to be filled in later.” After the purported “conversations” were published, LUFT told CC-1 that certain information, favorable to China, had been “tucked between the lines.” Shortly after the 2016 election, LUFT and CC-1 also discussed possible roles Individual-1 might have in the incoming U.S. administration and discussed Individual-1 taking a “silent trip” to China. LUFT responded that “[w]e are debating about his role in the new admin. There are all kinds of considerations . . .We should talk ftf [i.e., face-to-face] as there can be a supremely unique opportunity for china.”

Second, LUFT conspired with others and attempted to broker illicit arms transactions with, among others, certain Chinese individuals and entities. In his role as a broker or middleman, LUFT worked to find both buyers and sellers of certain weapons and other materials, without a license to do so as required under U.S. law, in violation of the Arms Export Control Act. Among other things, LUFT worked to broker a deal for Chinese companies to sell certain weapons to Libya, including anti-tank launchers, grenade launchers, and mortar rounds (which LUFT and his associates referred to in coded language as “toys”). LUFT also worked to broker deals for certain weapons to be sold to the United Arab Emirates, including aerial bombs and rockets. LUFT further worked to broker deals for certain weapons to be sold by a Chinese company to Kenya, including unmanned aerial vehicles (“UAVs”) – and specifically “strike” UAVs, which LUFT acknowledged “[t]he US doesn’t want to sell[, . . .] hence the opportunity.” LUFT also discussed brokering a deal for weapons to Qatar and told CC-1 that Israel was “not a good fit” as the middleman for the deal because it had the “[s]ame problem the [] Q [i.e., Qataris] have w uncle [i.e., the United States]. Need a third party. . . . I will activate.” In his role as a broker for illicit arms deals, LUFT worked on a commission basis and traveled to meetings and received and passed on documentation needed to secure the deals. During a voluntary interview with U.S. law enforcement in which he was asked questions about his involvement in arms trafficking, LUFT made multiple false statements, including that he had not sought to engage in or profit from arms deals.

Over and over again I see the Biden haters and Trump defenders making spurious claims, and never providing any evidence for them. That's not how a fact-based dialog works.

Indeed, the Republicans and MAGA crowd are calling an illegal arms dealer and agent of China a whistleblower against the US government. BTW, this guy didn't become a whistleblower until he had already become a fugitive.
