[Justice.gov] Mark Lambert, 54, of Mount Airy, Maryland, was charged in an 11-count indictment with one count of conspiracy to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and to commit wire fraud, seven counts of violating the FCPA, two counts of wire fraud and one count of international promotion money laundering. The charges stem from an alleged scheme to bribe Vadim Mikerin, a Russian official at JSC Techsnabexport (TENEX), a subsidiary of Russia’s State Atomic Energy Corporation and the sole supplier and exporter of Russian Federation uranium and uranium enrichment services to nuclear power companies worldwide, in order to secure contracts with TENEX.
According to the indictment, beginning at least as early as 2009 and continuing until October 2014, Lambert conspired with others at “Transportation Corporation A” to make corrupt and fraudulent bribery and kickback payments to offshore bank accounts associated with shell companies, at the direction of, and for the benefit of, a Russian official, Vadim Mikerin, in order to secure improper business advantages and obtain and retain business with TENEX. In order to effectuate and conceal the corrupt and fraudulent bribe payments, Lambert and others allegedly caused fake invoices to be prepared, purportedly from TENEX to Transportation Corporation A, that described services that were never provided, and then Lambert and others caused Transportation Corporation A to wire the corrupt payments for those purported services to shell companies in Latvia, Cyprus and Switzerland. Lambert and others also allegedly used code words like “lucky figures,” “LF,” “lucky numbers,” and “cake” to describe the payments in emails to the Russian official at his personal email account. The indictment also alleges that Lambert and others caused Transportation Corporation A to overbill TENEX by building the cost of the corrupt payments into their invoices, and TENEX thus overpaid for Transportation Corporation A’s services.
In June 2015, Lambert’s former co-president, Daren Condrey, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to violate the FCPA and commit wire fraud, and Vadim Mikerin pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering involving violations of the FCPA. Mikerin is currently serving a sentence of 48 months in prison and Condrey is awaiting sentencing. The indictment includes allegations against Lambert based on his role in effectuating the criminal scheme with Condrey, Mikerin, and others.

Just wait until you see the grand finale. It will make a tour in the Lovue look like a spectacle.
I have two Presidential Administrations tied up in my net.
[Washington Examiner] A plan to reform immigration and grant amnesty to nearly 700,000 young adults that is being shopped by six senators would waive some criminal convictions, let 300 "sanctuary cities" off the hook and starve Immigration and Customs Enforcement of funds to track down and deport criminal illegals, according to a new analysis of the proposal.
"This proposal is not a serious effort to find common ground with either the majority of congressional Republicans or the president," according to immigration expert Jessica M. Vaughan, director of policy studies for the Center for Immigration Studies.
"It pays only lip service to what is required to achieve the immigration policy improvements that Americans seek, and that they elected Donald Trump to accomplish," she added in a new analysis released Friday.
She obtained the details of the plan and found several areas that clash with the basic wishes of the White House and promises made by Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign.
"Judging by details obtained by the Center, the aim is actually maximum amnesty, minimum border security and no cuts to legal immigration, and not a good faith effort to reach a deal with either the House of Representatives or the president," wrote Vaughan.

...would waive some criminal convictions...
All of the Amnesty Warriors refuse to acknowledge 'Identity Theft' is a crime.
(At least for illegal aliens anyway)
President Trump, in expressing his "why not people from Norway" was interpreted in the MSM as though there are no People of Color™ in Norway. Just a tad racist of them.
Wikipedia stats: In the last decades, Norway has become home to increasing numbers of immigrants, foreign workers, and asylum-seekers from various parts of the world. Norway had a steady influx of immigrants from South Asia (mostly Pakistanis and Sri Lankans), East Asia (mainly Chinese), and Southeast Asia (e.g. Filipinos), Eastern Europe (e.g. Russians and Poles), Southern Europe (Greeks, Albanians and people from former Yugoslavia etc.), and Middle East countries (especially Iraqis and Palestinians), as well as Somalis, Turks, Moroccans, and some Latin Americans. After ten Eastern European and Baltic countries joined the EU in 2004, there has also been a substantial influx of people from Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
Immigrants constituted 13% of the population at the start of 2015, and an additional 2,6% were born in Norway by immigrant parents[6] (up from 8,3% and 1,5% in 2006[7]). The same year, 19% of births in Norway were to immigrant parents.[6] In 2006, non-Western immigrants constituted 75% of the total number of immigrants. They contribute much of the population growth. Among people of African descent in Oslo, almost 60% are younger than 30, compared to 20% of those of North American background.[7]
Of these 660 000 immigrants and their descendants:
335 000 (51%)[8] have a Western background (Australia, New Zealand, North America, elsewhere in Europe)
325 000 (49%)[8] have a non-Western background (Morocco, Iraq, Somalia, Pakistan, Iran).
I'm pretty sure President Trump would gladly welcome a Norwegian National of Somalian descent bringing with her a PhD in, say, Physics but probably not in Wymans Studies.
[Daily Caller] Georgia Democratic Rep. John Lewis said on MSNBC Friday afternoon that President Trump has racism "in his DNA" and "in his makeup."
Lewis made the accusation following Trump’s reported comments that America needs fewer Haitian immigrants and more immigrants from countries like Norway. The president reportedly referred to some countries in Africa as a "shithole."
"I think the words and his action tend to speak like one who knows something about being a racist," Lewis said when asked if he thought Trump is a racist. "It must be in his DNA, in his makeup, but it’s frightening to have someone in the office of the president in 2018 speaking the way that he is speaking. We’ve come too far and made too much progress to go back to fan the flames of racism and bigotry."

Long ago deeds?
Lewis represents Georgia's 5th Congressional District, one of the most consistently Democratic districts in the nation. Since its formalization in 1845, the district has been represented by a Democrat for all but eleven years.
Lewis is one of the most liberal members of the House, and one of the most liberal congressmen ever to represent a district in the Deep South.
Not surprisingly - Lewis' the majority black district includes almost three-fourths of Atlanta
Just a little perspective.

Poor John should have stayed in Selma.
It's my hypothesis that the majority of Dems are elected to Washington to protect the regular people.
[DAILYCALLER] The Washington Post has placed national news hound Janell Ross on leave after she was exposed giving a strategy briefing at a secret strategy conference for left-wing donors, politicians and activists in November, according to a new report.
Ross was a featured speaker a conference funded by Democracy Alliance, a network of left-wing donors aligned with billionaire financier George Soros ...either Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Auric Goldfinger come true... . Ross’s role at the conference, which was closed to news hounds, was only revealed when the Washington Free Beacon obtained a copy of the conference agenda. She did not notify her employers before speaking at the left-wing summit, where she briefed attendees on "getting the economic narrative right" in future elections.
Nearly two months later, Ross has been placed on leave for secretly briefing the left-wing conference, CNN reports. Ross is not expected to return to the paper, according to the CNN report.
A spokesperson for the Post declined The Daily Caller’s request for comment.
Since Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... ’s election, Democracy Alliance has focused on funding and organizing the anti-Trump "resistance." Soros and House Minority Leader Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. Formerly Speaker of the House, but it's not her fault they lost. Really. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace... both attended the November conference where Ross gave her presentation.

[CNSNEWS] President Trump tweeted on Thursday night: "The Democrats seem intent on having people and drugs pour into our country from the Southern Border, risking thousands of lives in the process. It is my duty to protect the lives and safety of all Americans. We must build a Great Wall, think Merit and end Lottery & Chain. USA!"

When the NAACP made a custom of selecting their leaders from the Democratic Party side of the House of Representatives they ceased being anything other than a false front.

..only favored individuals from European nations and European ancestry..
Geographically, Norway is part of Northern Europe. Culturally,economically,politically,and demographically there are vast differences with their southern neighbors. Say Greece or Spain. But to NAACP guy they're all the same. You know...Whitey.
