UMichael Cohen.U-EDUARDO MUNOZ ALVAREZ / AFP / imifanekiso kaFetty Akukho nkalo yehlazo elijikeleze ubudlelwane obufihliweyo bukaMongameli uDonald J. Trump kunye neRashiya obuye babanempikiswano ngaphezu kohambo oludumileyo lwehlobo lowe-2016 oluya kwiRiphabhlikhi yaseCzech nguMichael Cohen, umgcini wexesha elide likaTrump. Ngoku, indibaniselwano yobukrelekrele efunyenwe isezandleni zomcebisi okhethekileyo uRobert Mueller unokugqibela ukunika iimpendulo ekudala zilindelwe.
Njengoko kuchaziwe kwi- Ifayile ephikisanayo iqulunqwe nguChristopher Steele, owayesakuba ligosa eliphezulu kwezobuntlola kunye nengcali yaseRussia, uCohen waphambukela ePrague ngasekupheleni kuka-Agasti okanye ekuqaleni kuka-Septemba wonyaka wethu wokhetho ukuya kungqokelela ngasese nabameli baseKremlin. Ekuxeleni kukaSteele, uCohen waya kwiRiphabhlikhi yaseCzech ukuhambisa imali kubaphangi baseRussia ukunceda ukuguqula unyulo luka-2016 ngendlela kaTrump. Le akhawunti, ukuba iyinyani, ichaza ukudibana okungathandabuzekiyo phakathi kwephulo likaTrump kunye neKremlin-kanye le nto umongameli ebesoloko eyikhanyela yenzekile. Ukuba uCohen wadibana neentlola zaseRussia ngasekupheleni kwehlobo lowama-2016 ukuze benze iyelenqe ngokuchasene noHillary Clinton, leyo yinto abantu abaninzi baseMelika abaya kuthi kukungcatsha.
Bhalisela iNcwadana yezepolitiki yaBakhangeli
Kodwa ngaba yenzekile? UCohen uhlala eyala ukuba ayenzanga, ngelixa iQela likaTrump liphume ngendlela yabo yokuhlasela ibali, kwaye uSteele ngokubanzi. Ngaphandle kokuba uSteele engazange athi yonke into ekwifayile yakhe yaqinisekiswa. Bubukrelekrele bomntu obuhlaza, buthathwe kwimithombo uSteele ebengasoloko ethetha ngqo nayo, kwaye yiyo ngokungathandabuzekiyo kubandakanya ulwazi oluthile lwesiRashiya .Ngokukodwa, le yesicelo usasaze ubuxoki malunga nentlanganiso yasePrague, ebonisa ukuba kunokubakho into abazama ukuyifihla phaya.
Ngenxa yobume bayo obuvakalayo, ibali laseCohen-in-Prague alikaze lithule cwaka kwiminyaka emibini ukusukela oko laphuka, kwaye laxhumela kumaphepha angaphambili izolo nge ingxelo kaMcClatchy Ukuqinisekisa ukuba iirekhodi zefowuni zinika ubungqina bokuba uCohen wayekho ngokwenene kwiRiphabhlikhi yaseCzech ngasekupheleni kwehlobo lowe-2016. Ngebali, iselfowuni yalandelwa uCohenithumele ngokufutshane imiqondiso yokurhwebeshela kwiinqaba zeseli kwindawo yasePrague… iirekhodi zibonisa ukuba ukwenziwa okufutshane kwifowuni kaCohen kufutshane nasePrague kuthumele iibhikhoni ezishiya utyikityo lombane olulandelwayo.
Iiselfowuni zenza iirekhodi ezinokuthi zilandelwe, kodwa ibhombu kaMcClatchy ayongezi kakhulu kwinto esele siyazi apha. Kwaye akunakugwetywa ngaphandle kokuba omnye umntu abe neefowuni ezininzi zikaCohen (kuhambo lwabo lwentwasahlobo lwe-2018 ekhayeni naseofisini ka-Cohen, i-FBI kubanjwe iifowuni ezili-16 ). Xa usongeza kumxube inyani yokuba iinkonzo zobunkunkqele obunobunkunkqele zinokuphamba iifowuni, zenze idatha engeyonyani, iintloko apha azidibanisi konke oko.
UCohen, waxelwa kwangaphambili, wakhupha ukungakhathali okungakumbi. Ubekade elele phantsi ukusukela oko waya kwinkundla yase-Federal ekuqaleni kwale nyanga kwaye wavuma ityala lakhe kwizenzo zolwaphulo-mthetho ezininzi, efumana isigwebo seminyaka emithathu entolongweni. Ukanti uthathe kuTwitter izolo ukubhengeza :ndiyeva #Prague #Umphakathi waseCzech intle ehlotyeni. Ngekhe ndazi njengoko ndingazange ndibekho. #Umlawuli wazi yonke into!
Ingxelo eqinile kaCohen yokuziqhatha koluntu kunye nobuxoki obucacileyo kuthetha ukuba akukho nanye kwezi ngxelo zakhe kufuneka zithathwe ngokwexabiso ngaphandle kobungqina obuzimeleyo, ngakumbi ekukhanyeni ingxelo yakhe kwi Ijenali yeWall Street ngoJanuwari 2017 , xa isityholo sasePrague saqhekeka, esithi ebengekho kwikomkhulu laseCzech ukusukela ngo-2001.
Ngaphandle koko, icandelo elibalulekileyo lebali likaMcClatchy ayisiyiyo idatha yeselfowuni, endaweni yoko ibonisa ukuba iintlola ezinobuhlobo zinolwazi malunga nohambo lwasePrague. Njengoko ingxelo isitsho,[ngasekupheleni kuka-Agasti okanye ekuqaleni kukaSeptemba, ukumamela ngomatshini ngumbutho wezobuntlola waseMpuma Yurophu kwathatha incoko phakathi kwabantu baseRussia, omnye wabo wathi uCohen wayesePrague. Ngamanye amagama, inkonzo yobuntlola enobungane yathatha imiqondiso yolwazi enokuthi ixhase iSteele dossier.
Kwihlabathi le-SIGINT, ezo zixeliweyo zibizwa ngokuba ziimpawu kwaye zenzeka ngalo lonke ixesha. Abukho ubungqina obunzima, kodwa banomdla. Ukuba abantu baseRussia-ngakumbi abadumileyo okanye abadibene kakuhle-bakholelwa ukuba uMichael Cohen wayetyelele iRiphabhlikhi yaseCzech xa kusithiwa wayenjalo, yinyani ebalulekileyo leyo, nokuba ikude kubungqina obubambekayo. Elo arhente yezobuntlola yaseMpuma Yurophu engabizwanga ngagama yabelana ngengxelo yabo yeCohen SIGINT noogxa baseMelika kwithuba elithile eladlulayo, imithombo yam iyandixelela, kwaye ikulawulo lukaRobert S. Mueller, III nophando lwakhe olukhethekileyo.
Ukongeza, i-Arhente yoKhuseleko yeSizwe, eyethu i-eavesdropper, yabamba ubuncinci be-intelligence efanayo emva kwehlobo lowe-2016. Njengokuba igosa le-NSA lindixelele, le SIGINT yayihlelwe kakhulu kwaye ibandakanya iintlobo eziphezulu zaseKremlin zikhankanya ukuba uMichael Cohen ePrague. Yayiyingxoxo yeofisi, eneneni, ichaze igosa le-NSA, kwaye ayibandakanyi iinkcukacha zento eyayisenziwa nguCohen kwiRiphabhlikhi yaseCzech, ukanti la maRussia ayichaza njengeyinyani ukuba uhambo lwasePrague lwenzekile xa uSteele dossier esithi iyenzile.
Iimpawu ezininzi zobukrelekrele zibonelela ngemikhwa ebukekayo kule meko imangalisayo. Xa zidityanisiwe zingabonisa ukuba intlanganiso eyimfihlo ePrague okanye engqonge iPrague yenzekile. Nangona kunjalo, abantu baseRussia bengabantu baseRussia, ayinakugwetywa ngaphandle koku Iqhinga laseKagelin laseKremlin ukukhohlisa iintlola zaseNtshona — UKUKHOHLISWA ngamanye amaxesha kuyenzeka. Ukanti igosa le-NSA labonisa ukuba inkohliso enjalo ayinakulindeleka kule meko, inikwe ubunjani bokusebenza kwe-intelligence eyimfihlo eyenze ukuba kubambe.
Yonke le nto inokuthi yehle kwinto ayaziyo uMueller ngokuchasene noko uCohen amxelele kona malunga nentlanganiso edumileyo yasePrague. UMueller uyazi yonke into apha, njengoko uCohen ethumele umyalezo izolo, kwaye ibingayi kuba bubulumko ukuba uCohen axoke kuPhando loMcebisi oKhethekileyo malunga nokuhamba kunye nemisebenzi yakhe egameni lalowo wayesakuba ngumthengi-ngakumbi nantoni na ebandakanya abameli beKremlin.
Eli tyala linempikiswano lenza ilitye lembombo lophando lukaTrump-Russia. Ukuyisombulula kuya kuhamba indlela ende yokufumanisa ukuba bekukho ukungqinelana ngqo phakathi kwe-45 yethuthUmongameli kunye neKremlin ngo-2016. Ngaba uhambo lwasePrague lwalungumbindi wokuhlangana kukaTrump ngokufihlakeleyo neMoscow-okanye elinye icebo lokucacisa ulwazi lwaseRussia kumanzi anodaka kwaye enze ezopolitiko zaseMelika zahlulwe ngakumbi kwaye zimbi? Singazi kungekudala.
