Q Research General #13661: Ten To The Hour - Disney Next? Edition
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/a-gop-spin-on-the-russia-probe-reads-like-a-noir-thriller–but-doesnt-add-up/2018/09/25/1b940c92-c0ca-11e8-be77-516336a26305_story.html
The GOP's spin on the Russia probe doesn't add up
President Trump and his allies like to claim that the real "Russia collusion" story involves Justice Department and FBI officials, investigators hired by Hillary Clinton's campaign, and Russians who were feeding them information.
After reviewing scores of documents and messages released by Trump supporters in Congress, I find that this GOP counter-narrative doesn't add up. It doesn't undermine the credibility of the investigation by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III - or the guilty pleas and convictions he has racked up. And it doesn't discredit Mueller's key witnesses.
Yet the GOP's evidence does reveal some puzzling interconnections among major players in the Russia probe. The FBI and the Justice Department were sometimes conducting negotiations with the same people they were also investigating for possible wrongdoing. The contacts between private investigators and government officials were occasionally incestuous.
The most intriguing example of overlapping relationships involves three key players who were represented by a little-known but ubiquitous American lawyer named Adam Waldman. This unlikely trio includes Oleg Deripaska, a Russian oligarch who once did business with former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort; Christopher Steele, a British former MI6 officer who wrote the famous dossier alleging connections between Trump and Russia; and Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, which released Clinton campaign and other Democratic emails that U.S. intelligence agencies say were hacked by Russia.
In early 2017, Waldman was passing urgent messages to prominent officials on behalf of Deripaska, Steele and Assange, once mentioning all three in the same text.
Waldman is a character Hollywood couldn't invent, who for 20 years has been using his charm and legal savvy to make connections, which he then pyramids into other connections. Deripaska, Steele and Assange have been clients, but he has also represented Hollywood star Johnny Depp. He's friendly with Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), but also with GOP grandee C. Boyden Gray, who was White House counsel for President George H.W. Bush. He has worked closely with Democratic former assistant attorney general Joel Klein and with the prominent D.C. law firm Wilmer Hale.
If you think of a clever, upwardly mobile hero in a 19th-century novel - Phineas Finn in Trollope's "Palliser" novels, for example, or Becky Sharp in Thackeray's "Vanity Fair," you get a sense of Waldman's combination of charm and ambition. (As a personal disclosure, I should note that I've known Waldman since the 1990s.)
Waldman wouldn't talk for the record about his contacts, citing attorney-client privilege. But he doesn't challenge the accuracy of a series of texts and emails about his activities that have been published by columnist John Solomon in the newspaper the Hill, whose scoops haven't gotten much attention from mainstream media outlets.
How do the pieces of the Deripaska-Steele-Assange narrative fit together?
In the texts and emails, supplemented by my own reporting, Deripaska emerges as a complex figure who was, in effect, playing both sides of the street in his dealings with Moscow and Washington. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) asked at an open Senate Intelligence Committee hearing with FBI Director Christopher A. Wray in February if "Steele was employed either directly or indirectly, by Oleg Deripaska at the time he was writing the so-called 'Steele dossier.'?" Wray wouldn't respond in open session but answered "there might be more we could say there" in a classified hearing.

Table seats: 12. "I like large parties, but my wife, Carolyn Cohen, prefers more intimate parties with six couples. That's the one thing we argue about."
Guest list: Harvey Weinstein, William Styron, Larry and Laurie David ("Larry's from Brooklyn. Sometimes we'll have theme parties where everyone's from Brooklyn")
Guest qualifications: "I rarely invite my academic colleagues," says Dershowitz. "Most of them don't make good dinner guests."
Guest testimony: "Alan's guests are creative, interesting intellects, not necessarily intellectuals, but witty or wise or profound or comic," says one guest. "What bedazzles at Alan's parties is not the jewelry but the conversation that issues from their lips."
Seating arrangements: "One time, we had Yo-Yo Ma and seated him next to this federal judge. Who would have thought it, but Yo-Yo and this judge have become really good friends. We sat Joel Klein, my former research assistant, next to one of my former students, Nicole Seligman, and they got married."
Table conversations: "Sometimes we'll let our guests know two weeks ahead of time that after dinner we'll be showing a film and having a discussion about it afterwards!"

A new Rolling Stone profile of 55-year-old Hollywood actor Johnny Depp portrays the aging and scandal-plagued star as smoking pot with his 49-year-old lawyer, Adam Waldman, who, according to the article by reporter Stephen Rodrick, appears to be Depp's "closest confidant." But who is Waldman? Depp's lawyer is better known as the big-time Washington lobbyist who has become a figure in the ongoing scandal over connections between Donald Trump's campaign and Russia.

Attorney Jamie Gorelick had just finished vetting potential Cabinet secretaries for Hillary Clinton - and raising money for the failed 2016 Democratic nominee - when Jared Kushner called her last year, seeking legal counsel.
Gorelick, who served as deputy attorney general under President Bill Clinton and a former member of the 9/11 Commission, was recommended to Kushner by former News Corp. executive Joel Klein, who now serves as chief strategy officer at Oscar, the health insurance company co-founded by Kushner's younger brother, Josh. Klein told Jared Kushner he needed a real lawyer to sort through nepotism and conflict-of-interest concerns that could bar him from working in the White House for his father-in-law, President Donald Trump.
"He said that Jared was a good person, and that he thought he would be a good influence on the administration," Gorelick said in an interview Thursday afternoon, sitting in a sunny conference room at her law firm, Wilmer Hale.
Gorelick, widely rumored to have been Hillary Clinton's front-runner for attorney general, hesitated before agreeing to represent someone who served as the de facto campaign manager for a candidate who encouraged chants of "Lock Her Up" at rallies.
"At the time, I was grieving for Hillary Clinton," she said. "This was not the transition I was contemplating working on - at all. And I didn't know Jared Kushner. And I did think twice about it."

Q Research AUSTRALIA #9 - Welcome to the Digital Battlefield Edition
Resignations in the news
James Murdoch resigns from News Corp board
James Murdoch has resigned from the News Corporation board of directors, citing disagreements about the company's editorial content.
In a resignation letter sent to the News Corp board dated July 31, Murdoch said his decision was effective immediately.
"My resignation is due to disagreements over certain editorial content published by the Company's news outlets and certain other strategic decisions," he wrote.
News Corporation has confirmed Murdoch's resignation in a report to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
"On July 31, 2020, News Corporation (the "Company") received a letter from James R. Murdoch tendering his resignation from the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), effective immediately," it said.
"As a result of Mr. Murdoch's resignation, the size of the Board was reduced to 10 Directors, effective upon such resignation."
James Murdoch, the son of News Corp founder and executive chairman Rupert Murdoch, earlier this year broke ranks over the family company's editorial direction and accused the global media empire of promoting climate denialism.
A spokesperson for Murdoch and his wife Kathryn told The Daily Beast website the couple was "particularly disappointed with the ongoing denial among the news outlets in Australia given obvious evidence to the contrary".
"Kathryn and James' views on climate are well established and their frustration with some of the News Corp and Fox coverage of the topic is also well known," the spokesperson said.
Murdoch has been on the News Corp board of directors since 2013. He has continued serving as a News Corp board member since giving up his role as chief executive of 21st Century Fox, upon the 2019 sale of Fox entertainment holdings to Disney.
But he has played a less active role in the company than brother Lachlan, who is co-chairman of News Corp and became chief executive of the newly-formed Fox Corporation. Fox Corporation holds remaining assets not acquired by Disney, including Fox News.
Murdoch flagged he would make climate change-focused investments with his earnings from the Disney merger and step away from the family business.
In a statement following his resignation, Rupert Murdoch and Lachlan Murdoch said: "We're grateful to James for his many years of service to the company. We wish him the very best in his future endeavors."
Remaining News Corp board members include Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch as well as News Corp chief executive Robert Thomson, lead director Peter Barnes and director Natalie Bancroft.
They also include former US Senator Kelly Ayotte, former Spanish prime minister José María Aznar, and members Ana Paula Pessoa, Masroor Siddiqui and Joel Klein.
News Corp owns Australian newspapers including The Australian, The Daily Telegraph, The Herald Sun and The Courier Mail. It publishes The Wall Street Journal as well as UK outlets The Times, The Sun and The Sunday Times.
