After a round of retrials, ex-U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara's anti-corruption clampdown keeps a perfect score.

New York's ex-Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos and his son Adam guilty on all counts, a federal jury just found.
Small asterisk:

Every case that went to trial ended in a conviction. The one defendant who escaped the onslaught was developer Michael Laipple, whose charges in connection with the Buffalo Billion scheme were dropped before trial.
And so it ends...

(Perhaps until the next round of appeals, if the Supreme Court does not gut federal anti-bribery laws again.)

Prosecutors claim that indicted attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya fabricated supposed findings from a mutual legal assistance treaty. @PeteBrush dug up that Russian MLAT, and it's signed by "S.A. Karapetyan."

A top Russian prosecutor with that name died in a copter crash last year.
Just as prosecutors allege, the Russian MLAT clears itself and vilifies an "Investment Company" throughout, in particular, Bill Browder's Hermitage Capital.

Here's a story on the death of Karapetyan, whose name matches the one on the doc's signature. rferl.org/amp/russian-pr…
It should be noted that figures connected to the Prevezon case, believed to be tied to Russian organized crime, have a habit of encountering misfortune.

After Magnitsky's death in a Moscow prison, his family's attorney survived a four-story fall from his Moscow apartment.

In which attorneys for an accused Russian troll farm - an actual fake news operation founded by a man nicknamed "Putin's chef" - cry foul on reporters accurately quoting a federal judge. ⬇️
(Note: Despite my ironic usage of the phrase "fake news" in relation to Concord Management, the more accurate phrase for the outfit would be disinformation mill, as "fake news" is a meaningless propaganda term.)
Meanwhile, rebuked by a Trump-appointed judge, Concord Management's defense team carries on with its legal strategy: trolling-so-hard.

Their latest missive:

🚨 MAJOR: Natalia Veselnitskaya, the Russian attorney in the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting, charged with obstruction of justice in the Prevezon case.

Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman said she fabricated evidence.
Remember when Donald Trump, Jr. claimed that he "mostly talked about adoptions" with Veselnitskaya at the Trump Tower meeting?

That's Russia's response to sanctions over the death of Sergei Magnitsky, a key figure in the Prevezon case.

Background: courthousenews.com/judge-enforces…
The sealed indictment was docketed on Dec. 20, 2018.

You can find the unsealed 18-page indictment here. documentcloud.org/documents/5677…

Nunes is really going to regret this half-baked attempt at covering his tracks re the “whistleblower” and Weiner laptop “sitting up in NY” in “late Sept” 2016. This isn’t hard -let’s start with the fact that the search warrant was issued on Sept 26, 2016. nypost.com/2018/05/17/sea…
Nunes: the House Intelligence Committee, we had that but we couldn’t do anything with it.

Ingraham: ...when exactly?

Nunes: I think it was late September

Ingraham: ...ok so ultimately, the FBI didn’t move on this until late October

Nunes: so...so...so...

***FAIL***
Just finished reviewing OIG Report's Chapter Nine in light of Nunes' comments - It is stunningly obvious who the "whistleblower" aka "good FBI agents" are and the extent the IG goes to throw FBIHQ under the bus to cover for FBI NYO....thread to come. @CREWcrew @joshtpm
