If you follow me, I've discussed the trend at the NYT's to leak a really damaging story on the eve of a big reveal. Usually several hours after the reveal is cancelled, as it is already rolling. It happened again yesterday. But the story is bigger that ever! #ButNothingsHappening

So a few hours later they drop this bombshell, but of course with their spin on it. Also with no analysis to explain what it means. It connects to many of the Swamp players & the Russians. So lets take a little look at this through the spin. nytimes.com/2018/12/12/bus…

I think they mean the Swamp responded, but I can see how the NYT has trouble telling them apart, most of their allies in DC are part of the Swamp. But the Swamp from many nations also responded.

Huh trying to buy access to Vice President Joe Biden, I bet we see an investment firm run by his son & John Kerry's step son show up later! One of Mr. Ye's people was caught in a sting at Trump Tower bribing officials for energy deals: Mobsters Check In, But They Don't Check Out!

Huh, cash opening doors with former Washington officials with White House access, the military & intelligence agencies. Sounds like that Deep State he's buying access to! Of course it's just a matter of not asking enough questions, made worse by Trump's trade war tensions. Sure.

So when the FBI closed in, he calls the Biden family to try & fix the problem. Wonder why they thought Biden might be able to make fraud, bribery, & money laundering cases disappear from the DOJ? Whatever it was, it didn't happen in the new administration.

Friends in the Chinese govt, hiriing generals, leading a group that was a front for Chinese intelligence collection & propaganda distribution!

I guess borrowing money from Chinese state banks & investing $9 billion in a corrupt Russian oil company buys you a lot of friends! Huh, he also made friends with Erdogan of Turkey and people in Israel. Wouldn't have anything to do with Eastern Med oil pipelines? Nah...

So US Intel agencies should have known of his ties to Chinese intelligence. Did they miss them, ignore them, or go along with them? The Swamp is a very icky place.

Well at least Jimmy Carter's friends recognize a corrupt scam when they see it! Asking to get commitments from the US not to bomb his oil assets if he purchased them in Syria. I thought we were only bombing ISIS affiliated oil infrastructure in Syria? Maybe that was his plan!

Trying to buy energy assets, but mostly to earn favors in making introductions to powerful figures like Bill Gates. Wonder how the Gates Foundation is these days?

Serbian diplomats that used to head the UN General Assembly. Donations to think tanks to buy friends & favors. Sounds kinda Swampy... I wonder how much it costs to have a personal discussion about the economy with Alan Greenspan?

Almost missed the $100,000 dollar donation to the Clinton Foundation! So the guy who owns $9 billion dollars worth of the Russian state oil company Rosneft, was buying influence with the Clinton Foundation, that ought to be a bigger part of the story. Unless that was the idea...

The Trump Administration rejected Ye's attempt to buy into a NY investment banking firm in 2017. The firm is named "Cohen" wonder if he thought he was buying into friends of Trump? Wonder if it was a sting? Prior Chinese state investments included Morgan Stanley & Deutsche Bank.

Lookie there at the article they link. The Chinese acquired an investment firm owned by Anthony Scaramucci in January 2017, while he was being considered for a WH job. nytimes.com/2017/03/29/bus…

Well we do get back to Hunter Biden, just as predicted! Then Rosemont Seneca Partners followed by Chris Heinz. Imagine that Biden's attorneys have no comment!

Then after the Trump upset victory, Ye like so many other friends of the Clintons & Bidens tried to find a way to buy their way into Trump's circle. Not knowing Trump's circle is composed mostly of FBI informants.

Ooh, it looks like there are tapes! They fail to mention where Mr. Ye had this wiretapped apartment? Trump Tower! But @RealDonaldTrump has been feeding mobsters & money launderers to the FBI since at least 1981, so no surprise there!

They do get around to mentioning his $5 million dollar apartment at Trump World Tower! And guess what, Ye's legal team is Skadden Arps of NY, the same firm Mueller is pursuing for helping Manafort's Ukrainian friends of Putin! Seems the Chinese are hiding Ye away too!

Seems the Chinese govt is preparing to throw him under the bus for corruption. But likely to lock him away so other investigators can't talk to him.

Strangely, the NYT's brings it back to the Bidens. Just to say Ye didn't get anything from them, of course. Must have called the wrong Biden, sure. Though I am sure they don't want to be dragged into this anymore. But it's too late now! #ButNothingsHappening

1000's of bread crumbs to follow. All designed to get the story out there with a Swamp friendly spin on it. So they can set the narrative & pretend the next round of news is an old story. No need to cover the details on the corruption, they did an article dismissing it already!
