Now we know why Robert Mueller gave immunity to Trump-Russia witness George Nader
In the time since the news broke that Special Counsel Robert Mueller gave Trump-Russia immunity to cooperating witness George Nader, the question was what made him so uniquely important. No one else who has cooperated, from George Papadopoulos to Michael Flynn, has received full immunity or anything close to it. Sure, Nader is important, but why is he different? Now we’re finally seeing that answer, based on newly reported revelations.
It’s already been established that George Nader helped set up the Seychelles meeting during the transition period between Donald Trump’s associate Erik Prince and the Russians. Nader’s close ties to the United Arab Emirates are certainly useful when it comes to Jared Kushner’s UAE pay-to-play scandal. But there had to be more to it for Mueller to decide that Nader will get a free pass for his role in the scandal, no matter what all he might have done wrong. It comes down to three words.
Follow the money. Nader sent millions of dollars on behalf of UAE to Elliott Broidy, who is a fundraiser for Donald Trump and a deputy chairman of the Republican National Committee, according to a new report from the Associated Press. The money was aimed at getting the United States to take a hardline stance against UAE’s rival Qatar. This is, in simple terms, bribe money. The involvement of Broidy suggests that this bribery involves not only Trump and his White House, but also the Republican Party itself.
This means that George Nader’s cooperation opens the door for Robert Mueller to not only take Donald Trump and his administration down for accepting cash bribes from foreign governments in exchange for control over U.S. foreign policy, but to also take down anyone in the Republican Party who knowingly took any share of this bribe money. No wonder Mueller gave Nader immunity.
