Trump Urged Top Aide to Help Giuliani Client Facing DOJ Charges

President Donald Trump pressed then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to help persuade the Justice Department to drop a criminal case against an Iranian-Turkish gold trader who was a client of Rudy Giuliani, according to three people familiar with the 2017 meeting in the Oval Office.

Tillerson refused, arguing it would constitute interference in an ongoing investigation of the trader, Reza Zarrab, according to the people. They said other participants in the Oval Office were shocked by the request.

Tillerson immediately repeated his objections to then-Chief of Staff John Kelly in a hallway conversation just outside the Oval Office, emphasizing that the request would be illegal.

Giuliani's client was evading US sanctions against Iran's nuclear program..

You know...Iran. Nukes.

That's the kind of double-dealing slime Trump and Giuliani are.

Zarrab laundered Iranian money through Turkey. He pleaded guilty and said President Erdogan was aware of his activities.



Zarrab later pleaded guilty and testified against Mehmet Hakan Atilla, who headed international banking at state-owned Turkiye Halk Bankasii AS, known as Halkbank. Zarrab said Erdogan knew of and supported the laundering effort on behalf of Iran. Erdogan and other senior Turkish officials repeatedly rejected the accusations, saying they were fabrications.

Atilla was eventually convicted of helping Iran evade economic sanctions on billions of dollars of oil revenue and served 28 months in U.S. prison before returning to Turkey in July to a hero’s welcome. Turkey has so far managed to avoid U.S. penalties over the sanctions-evasion scheme.

This would not be surprising.

If Tillerson had done the illegal act Trump asked him to, not only would Zarrab have evaded justice, so would have Atilla.

Reza Zarrab - Wikipedia

Reza Zarrab (Persian: رضا ضراب‎, Turkish: Rıza Sarraf;[4] born 12 September 1983) is a Turkey-based businessman. He has quadruple Iranian,[1] Azerbaijani,[2] Turkish[1] and Macedonian citizenship.[5][6]

On 19 March 2016 he was arrested in the United States,[7] and is accused of being a member of international criminal organization. He was charged with evading the US economic sanctions on Iran and money laundering[1] in an alleged racket scheme to help Iran bypass the sanctions, involving ministers of the Turkish government of then prime minister and now president of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.[8][9]

His father, Hossein Zarrab, had a close relationship with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,[10] who served as the President of Iran between 2005 and 2013. The U.S. Department of Treasury accused Hossein Zarrab of violating U.S. sanctions on Iran and slapped a $9.1 million fine against him. His fine was reduced to $2.3 million following his cooperation with the U.S. officials.[11]

Zarrab was arrested by the FBI in Miami in the US on March 19, 2016 and was accused of bank fraud, money laundering and helping the Iranian government in evading the US economic sanctions on Iran to hinder its nuclear-weapons program. His charges; conspiracy to defraud, violating the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, money laundering, and bank fraud; could bring up to 70 years in prison if found guilty in the U.S. Federal Court.[12]

3 people, who weren't there, and spoke on the condition of anonymity told me they were so upset at how quickly the Impeachment scheme is unraveling, they could no longer stay silent....Rudy, Trump, Tillerson, unpronounceable foreigners...we got him this time!!

 

[CrusaderFrank]

I think Rdean must come up with these stories because they're all identical: Uninformed sources, anonymity, accuse Trump of what democrats actually did!

Why did Trump go to SecState and not directly to DOJ???

Of course not. The sooner everyone realizes Trump is actually as shallow and buffoonish as he appears, and that he puts his personal interests first above all else, the sooner they will understand everything he says and does.
