NYTimes latest spin is trying to claim Ohr was part of a secret FBI program to flip Deripaska..
A Failed U.S. Mission: Secretly Flipping a Russian Oligarch for Dirt on Trump Campaign
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/01/u...teele-fbi.html
The problem with that?
Deripaska has a long record of working with the FBI.. In fact he personally bankrolled trying to free Robert Levinson at Mueller's request..
Mueller may have a conflict — and it leads directly to a Russian oligarch
In 2009, when Mueller ran the FBI, the bureau asked Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska to spend millions of his own dollars funding an FBI-supervised operation to rescue a retired FBI agent, Robert Levinson, captured in Iran while working for the CIA in 2007.
Yes, that’s the same Deripaska who has surfaced in Mueller’s current investigation and who was recently sanctioned by the Trump administration.
