Here’s where the Russian spies may have been hiding who conspired with the Donald Trump campaign
Over the past months, it’s become painfully clear that recently “retired” Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak was quarterbacking the Kremlin’s collusion with the Donald Trump campaign. Kislyak held secret meetings during the election with Trump and a large number of his campaign advisers. But Kisylak couldn’t have been acting alone – and now comes a possible explanation for how the other Russian election conspirators were hiding in plain sight in New York City all along.
Chris Riotta of Newsweek has identified the Permanent Mission of the Russian Federation to the United Nations, a building in the Bronx, as a possible ground zero for the collusion between the Donald Trump campaign and the Kremlin. Or as he puts it, “Officials suspect Russia used UN diplomatic facilities in its efforts to sway the election for Donald Trump” (link). Russian spies have been known to have been working out of the UN building for decades, and the secret is so poorly kept that even the local neighbors have figured it out.
The UN building in question, located in the New York City borough of the Bronx, is close enough to UN headquarters in Manhattan – not to mention Trump Tower in Manhattan – to make for easy coordination. Yet it’s also just far enough away that it can be used for clandestine meetings and such. There’s no proof yet that the Trump-Russia collusion did take place in this particular building. But it’s worth noting that even when Trump belatedly ordered the closings of three Russian properties in the United States this month, in an effort to create the illusion of looking tough against his Kremlin masters, he avoided closing the property in the Bronx.
Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak is known to have met with Donald Trump, Jeff Sessions, Michael Flynn, J.D. Gordon, Carter Page and other Trump campaign advisers during the election. Kislyak also met with Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner during the transition. Who else from the Kremlin met with the Trump campaign during the election – and how many of them were based out of that UN building?
