MAR-A-LAGO DATELINE (April
4, 2019): Story from major outlets like Reuters here and Business Insider here with this similar stories and this headline:
“The
arrest of a woman carrying a USB stick with malware into Mar-a-Lago exposes
glaring flaws in the resort's security, as FBI reportedly investigates whether
she is a Chinese spy”
· A Chinese woman was able to bluff her way into
Mar-a-Lago while carrying four cellphones; a laptop; a hard drive; and a thumb
drive containing malware.
· Yujing Zhang's story is here. She passed Secret
Service physical checks and proceeded into the property because Mar-a-Lago
staff mistakenly thought she was the daughter of a member who shared her last
name.
· The FBI is now reportedly investigating whether
she is a Chinese spy.
The episode exposed serious flaws in Mar-a-Lago's security
system. The Secret Service issued a rare statement on Tuesday saying: “It does
not determine who is invited or welcome at Mar-a-Lago; this is the responsibility
of the host entity.”
At the time of her arrest, Zhang had four cellphones, a laptop computer, an external hard drive, and a thumb drive later found to contain “malicious malware” in her possession (the Secret Service said in a court filing).
A later search of Zhang’s Palm Beach hotel room uncovered a
device meant to detect hidden cameras and nearly $8,000 in cash. Some U.S.
experts say her attempt to enter the club was so clumsy that while she has been
linked to the Chinese Communist Party in Beijing, it was hard to believe she
was a professional spy.
A Chinese Foreign Minister Spokeswoman, Hua
Chunying, said she: “Had not heard anything about Zhang having any connection to
the Chinese government.”
Zhang served eight months in prison and then she was deported back
to China.
Then add his more recent and similar kind of story from Mar-a-Logo with
another phony person gaining access to Trump:
The person identified in this story, Inna Yaschyshyn (age 33) started in May 2021. She was at Mar-a-Lago back then when she met and played golf with Trump and other high rollers (see that photo in the article) and yet she was 100% phony.
We have to wonder how much easy and free access did she have to
Mar-a-Lago and I mean free and open access?
That story from The Daily Mail with this headline – I hope it gets FBI
attention, too – it sure needs it:
“Ukrainian
trucker's daughter who posed as Rothschild to meet Trump says she's a victim”
A Ukrainian truck driver's daughter who posed as a
Rothschild heiress to meet with Trump and other high rollers at Mar-a-Lago and she has insisted that she's an innocent victim.
She claims she's been framed by a former friend and business
partner, Valeriy Tarasenko. She also insists she didn't raise cash for Russian
gangsters through a fake children's charity.
She further told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: “I am the victim right now, that’s
all I can tell you. I think there is some misunderstanding.”
When she was grilled about the five fake IDs, including a U.S.
passport with her picture attached to the name Anna de Rothschild, she
insisted: “That’s all fake, and nothing happened.”
However, those who met with her, including her friends at Mar-a-Lago, all believed her to be Anna de Rothschild, who posed as a Monaco millionairess with a Vineyard.
She made her first visit to Mar-a-Lago with
British Trump supporter Elchanan Adamker in May 2021.
At that time, she posed for a photograph with Trump (photo in the article) the very next day,
and then later posting with Trump and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) during the
same encounter (photo above).
Full article and more details at the Daily Mail site.
My 2 Cents: As said right up front this latest access to Mar-a-Lago
needs serious investigation and now that seems ready to happen as reported on
here from The Guardian (late breaking story) so, I guess I was correct saying it needs to
be investigated (big smile).
There remains a lot of
loopholes in the story. Answers are surely needed and more so in these trying
times about the classified document case still unfolding there.
Thus we have to wait and
see the final outcome.
Thanks for stopping by.
