@patribotics I think the #FinCENFiles prove that FinCEN has done nothing to effectively enforce the money laundering done through shell companies in US real estate for years.

They've actually inhibited investigations by hoarding a lot of this documentation themselves without investigating.

@patribotics Russia compromised the Treasury in 2015. Several whistleblowers were silenced.

So a Transnational Crime Syndicate takes over FinCEN, hopes to install Trump in power and hits the hail-mary.

@patribotics They install their people at the Treasury first, then take over DOJ, and they're laughing.

They employ the "Catch and Kill" strategy.

They use FinCEN to gobble up all the money laundering crimes, become strangely tight with all the records, and just sit on it.

@patribotics In all the details that we know, isn't it funny how the money never gets found?

Mueller apparently didn't look at the money. CI investigation didn't look at the money. No one seems to give a shit about emoluments.

@patribotics Who looks into that stuff anyway?

Oh right. FinCEN. Under Mnuchin. Where Barr's daughter works. Where Jessie Liu was going to run until she refused to charge McCabe.

@patribotics The Treasury IG Delmar hasn't done much with these whistleblower complaints.

He also found that Mnuchin didn't do anything wrong when he refused to hand over Trump's Tax Returns to Neal.

@patribotics You know what else we never got answers on?

Why all the question marks around Justice Kennedy's son and Kavanaugh's loans?

If FinCEN was holding on to all this extra info on Manafort, why was DOJ so lenient with him?

Why are the gaps always around the money?

@patribotics These gaps (and the info in the #FinCENFiles reporting) make it really clear to me that FinCEN and the Treasury are completely corrupted.

I see no explanation for all of these gaps around the one department that hoards all of these documents.

It's financial Catch and Kill.
