Curiouser and curiouser. What if I was to tell you that I was writing a fiction story about a supposed KGB asset, groomed since the 80’s, and his fashionista wife, whom the FBI has also been watching since the 80’s, and then we fast forward to the 21st century, where the alleged asset has been elected president of the United States, with the help of Vladimir Putin, and then a few years later the fashionista wife tumbles down the stairs of her condo one night when she’s alone and breaks her neck?
Sounds like soap opera and melodrama and it also sounds like vintage Trump. Yahoo News:
(Bloomberg) — Donald Trump’s first wife, Ivana, was under an FBI counterintelligence inquiry into allegations about her connections in her home country of Czechoslovakia in the 1990s, according to excerpts from her FBI file obtained by Bloomberg News.
The inquiry spanned several countries, with US legal attaches in Canada and Europe instructed to inquire about the circumstances of her emigration from then-Communist Czechoslovakia to Austria and later to Canada and to look into her association with individuals whose names are redacted from the release. The agency also dug through court records of her divorce from Donald Trump.
The files were classified as “secret.” In one document dated Feb. 14, 1989, the FBI said it “recommended a preliminary inquiry be opened on Ivana Trump” based on information the bureau obtained from a confidential source. According to the document, “it is unknown if the allegations stem from jealousies of her wealth and fame. Investigation continuing.” The FBI redacted the contents of that inquiry.
While the nature of the FBI’s inquiry into Ivana Trump is unknown, it involved the bureau’s counterintelligence division and was highly sensitive, according to the documents, and spanned at least two years.
Another file, from 1990, shows the FBI looking into a man connected to Czechoslovakian intelligence who arranged fictitious marriages and believed to have some connection to Ivana Trump, who was from Czechoslovakia. There’s little information in the records on Donald Trump other than a Jan. 16, 1989, Time magazine article headlined, “Trump.”
Fictitious marriages are straight out of spy novels, which makes a great deal of sense. The best espionage is that arising out of a long game, where sleepers are planted, live in a town as normal people forever, and everything looks quite prosaic.
In any event, 190 pages of these FBI records have been released and more will be released next month as well. And read Johnathan Chait’s piece about Putin having kompromat on Trump, if you haven’t done so.
Maybe Ivana will sabotage Donald from the grave. I’m sure it would be her good pleasure to do so.
Given that he raped her, and of course the way he so publicly humiliated her during his “courting” of trophy wife #2 (Tiffany’s mom Marla Maples) I’m sure you’re correct that if there is an afterlife Ivana gets a kick out of the thought that she might be able to stick a shive in Donald.
Funny how truth finds its way to the light.
And then there is the coffin in which she was interred, despite the fact that the only thing in the coffin was a container holding her ashes.
I thought the same thing , why would they put her ashes in a coffin and bury it on one of Trump’s golf courses ??? What else is in that coffin ?
I STILL SAY HER COFFIN OUGHT TO BE EXHUMED AT BEDMINSTER TO CHECK WHAT IS INSIDE, OTHER THAN HER FEW PALTRY ASHES.
