His criminal conviction is not news. It's been well noted over the years.

This article is a year old. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-polit...mmunity-russia

Maybe the Post realized their info was dated, not a secret, talked about at least a year ago.

Another year old article......noting Nader as a 'known pedophile'.......https://qz.com/1284238/donald-trumps...rnc-donations/

Well, what else should you expect from a guy (Trump) who's bragged that his OWN DAUGHTER is "HOT" and that he would date her if she wasn't his daughter?
What KIND of FATHER SAYS THAT ABOUT HIS OWN DAUGHTER?
Answer - A PERVERT.

That's who.

Why bother, Republicans would refuse to investigate as they did with claims made by Kavanaugh's college roommate that Kavanaugh had lied to Congress. Republicans impeached Clinton for lying to Congress, instead of investigating Kavanaugh for the same charge they gave him a seat on the SCOTUS instead.

More on Nader's past from a political and lobbying standpoint. Again - the goal of the propaganda is to present this from mainly a Trump is corrupt standpoint. But these people have been around for decades doing what they do.

Mueller’s Focus on Adviser to Emirates Suggests Broader Investigation

He was a back-channel negotiator with Syria during the Clinton administration, reinvented himself as an adviser to the de facto ruler of the United Arab Emirates, and last year was a frequent visitor to President Trump’s White House.

...
Mr. Nader has long been a mysterious figure. In the 1990s, he presided over an unusual Washington magazine, Middle East Insight, which sometimes provided a platform for Arab, Israeli and Iranian officials to express their views to a Washington audience.

On the magazine’s 15th anniversary, in 1996, a West Virginia congressman praised Mr. Nader on the floor of the House, calling him a “recognized expert on the region” and pointing out that the magazine had been a showcase for prominent figures such as President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin of Israel, and Yasir Arafat, the head of the Palestine Liberation Organization.

...
At the beginning of the Obama era, Mr. Nader tried to parlay his ties to the Syrian government into access to senior members of President Barack Obama’s foreign policy team, while also seeking to advance business deals with former advisers to President George W. Bush.

By the time of the 2016 election, he had become an adviser to Prince Mohammed of the U.A.E. According to people familiar with the relationship, it was around Mr. Trump’s inauguration that Mr. Nader first met Mr. Broidy, the Republican fund-raiser, who is a California-based investor with a strong interest in the Middle East.


Nader is a lobbyist for countries in the Middle East and makes his money by gaining access to whomever the president is.

I'm sure Mueller knows exactly who Nader is and what he can get out of him.

So a little digging -- that article that is cited in the first post is from over a year ago.

Nobody is hiding anything.

Somebody is just a year behind in finding out stuff.

Thread fail.

It's been noted - but not highlighted. Here's something else not highlighted... there are pictures with him and Clinton partying at some island resort recently. Shown below are Ricardo Cheaz, Bill Clinton, George Nader, José Calzada, Rolando Gonzalez Bunster

If he's a pedophile you can bet he's either a former associate with the deep state or has been forced to work for them.
I said before the best reason to support Trump is because of who hates him.

More Nader history... he convicted as well in 1991.

Mueller witness was convicted on child porn charge

Nader received a six-month sentence from a federal court in Northern Virginia in 1991 on a felony charge of transporting sexually explicit materials in foreign commerce, according to the newly released records and to prison records POLITICO obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.

...
The 1991 indictment came after customs inspectors at Dulles International Airport found two sexually explicit videotapes in Nader’s luggage as he arrived on a Lufthansa flight from Germany. A pediatrician consulted by the government said the boys in the videos were about 13 or 14 years old.



And again, noting his work history, he had access to all presidents since Reagan - similar to Manafort.

In addition to his work on the hostage issue, since the 1980s, Nader has been a regular participant in Middle East policy discussions under several U.S. presidents.

“George has popped up under most every administration I”ve been associated with,” said Aaron David Miller, a longtime State Department Mideast negotiator now with the Woodrow Wilson Center. “I dealt with him from the Reagan administration on. … I consider George pretty reliable and pretty authentic, but he disappeared for long blocks of time, presumably in the region.”

This is probably more believable regarding how the Trump camp operated. If definitely fits how Nader operates in trying to gain access for the UAE, and how Team Trump operates.

Riyalpolitik and the Art of Influence in Trump’s Washington

The kind of influence-peddling in which Nader and Broidy were involved can be traced back to Jared Kushner. On Nov. 8, 2016, if not before, he was handing out his cellphone number to all kinds of people in Washington with little regard for the potential consequences and apparently little idea about who was genuinely powerful and who were just posers. No doubt that important people in certain countries had the mobile numbers of senior members of the Obama administration, plus their Gmail addresses, but there was something qualitatively different about the way Kushner was operating. He was essentially opening the door to a Trumpian culture in which there is no process, there is no vetting, everyone and anyone could be an asset, loyalty is the greatest quality second only to money, and there are always ways to get something done no matter what.

Trump’s world does not operate the same way as Washington’s major Middle Eastern allies, but there are some parallels that make stories like the George Nader affair possible. Trump’s tendency to eschew the formal processes and procedures of government dovetails with the way in informal power, uncodified norms, and past practices shape governance and policy in places as diverse as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, and Israel. These kinds of informal institutions exist in the United States as well; a lot of things have gotten done in Washington over the years because of the Harvard “old boys’” network or because that’s the way it has always been done in the cloakroom. But informal networking has generally not guided the realm of foreign policy, which has always involved an exhaustive (and exhausting) interagency process. Kushner’s willingness to hand out his digits signaled that Team Trump was open to doing things significantly differently from previous administrations, and U.S. allies along with people like Nader and Broidy took him up on it. The result was a $650 million contract for Broidy’s security firm after he bent the ear of the president and others about the perfidy of the Qatari leadership.

It was in every article I read from a year ago.

Because you didn't know doesn't mean others didn't.

This is very old news.
