Key Mueller Witness Arrested for Child Pornography... Again

The company Mueller and Weissmann keep.

George Aref Nader, who was a key witness in special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, was arrested on child pornography charges Monday in New York, federal prosecutors announced Monday.

Nader was arrested upon arrival at John F. Kennedy International Airport for "transporting visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct."
He previously pleaded guilty to the same charge in 1991, the Justice Department said.

If convicted, he faces a minimum sentence of 15 years in prison and a maximum of 40 years.

...

The Mueller report mentions Nader in nearly four dozen footnotes, including references to his interviews with special counsel investigators, and other materials, like his emails and text messages...

...

He is cited extensively in the portions of the report about the Seychelles meeting in between Trump supporter Erik Prince and a Russian banker with close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin. His testimony about his role in the secret January 2017 liaison undercut Prince's claims that the meeting was a random encounter and that it was not coordinated with anyone from the Trump transition.

Speculation from informed people: Nader says the Russian banker showing up was planned; Prince says it was unexpected.

What if they're both telling the truth?

What if Prince wasn't expecting the Russian banker, but Nader was?

What if Nader has been an FBI informant/asset since his first quickly-dispensed-with child porn bust, and invited the Russian as part of an as-of-yet unacknowledged spying operation against Trump?

What if the Russian banker meeting was a set-up arranged by Nader, as directed by his handlers in the FBI?

This was, informed speculation suggests, yet another attempt to frame the Trump campaign by the FBI and maybe Brennan.

Update:

Definitely read the Deb Heine article at American Greatness that Sean references in that tweet.
