A partner then at Skadden made false and misleading statements to the FARA Unit, which led it to conclude in 2013 that the firm was not obligated to register under FARA. The facts, when uncovered, showed that Skadden was indeed required to register in 2012 ...
"Skadden understood that a Ukrainian business person would be paying its fees, which the law firm received from a Cypriot bank account of an entity named Black Sea View Ltd., which Manafort controlled."

Ouch. That'll leave a mark!
"In both written and oral responses to the FARA Unit between February 6, 2013, and October 11, 2013, Skadden, in reliance on the lead partner, made false and misleading statements"

Greg Craig in a world of hurt!
Skadden acknowledges that this agreement made no promises regarding the criminal liability of former partners.

MYSTERY CASE

Two notable items in today's SCOTUS filing (I'm still reading)

1. SCOTUS seems to make no distinction between "Corporation A" and "Country A". In fact "Corporation A" is not even mentioned.

2. The state-owned corporation is 100% state-owned. RBS is not our corp

The U.S. Government has some sort of time constraint on its investigation.

Manafort court filing. Heavily redacted -- legitimately redacted this time.
Manafort Cooperation:

Manafort admits aiding someone (too long to be "The Podesta Group") in their failure to register as agents of a foreign principal.
Witness tampering

This story had been reported in July 2018

businessinsider.com/mueller-reveal…

The article claims Manafort tampered with Alan Friedman and Eckart Sager. I'm guessing the redaction is "Friedman".

Former Obama White House Counsel's firm agrees to pay $4.6 million to DOJ & register as a foreign agent to settle charges it was illegally acting as an agent of Putin's allies in Ukraine & influencing the Obama Admin & Congress. #ButNothingsHappening
The lead partner not named in the announcement is #GregCraig former Clinton lawyer & Obama White House Counsel. It appears the firm has been able to throw him under the bus for his misconduct to escape prosecution.
The firm represented the govt of Ukraine in efforts to justify it's prosecution or persecution of anti-Putin politician Yulia Tymoshenko. Falsely identifying the amount they would bill Ukraine to corruption conceal the real parameters of the deal. $12k versus $4.6 million.

A “brief” history of Deutsche Bank scandals, lawsuits & fines. This list is not comprehensive and is stacked with events from the past 20 years, yet it shows a deeply ingrained culture of generating profits with no regard for their customers or the integrity of the market.
1/70
After WW2, Allied authorities determined that Deutsche Bank had actively supported the Nazi regime and maintained close ties to officials like Himmler; and was also been involved in appropriating assets of financial institutions in countries occupied by the Nazis.
2/70
The Allied forces in occupied Germany divided the bank into 10 regional institutions, and then into 3. One each for the north, central, and southern regions of West Germany. The operations were reunited in 1957 and allowed to function under the Deutsche Bank name once again.

OMG. J Low's code name was "Wu Tang."

motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
"Court documents say that Michel and Higginbotham knew US banks would balk at accepting funds from Low, due to accusations tying him to money laundering. So they made “false and misleading” statements to officials at Morgan Stanley, City National Bank, and Citibank."
"The duo falsely claimed the money was for “media consulting” and came from a foreign investor in Michel’s entertainment projects, the filings allege. (Prosecutors say Michel and Higginbotham referred to Low in emails with a code name: “Wu Tang.”)"

Manafort's Ukraine efforts outed 8/16. DOJ flags, contacts him 9/16 re #FARA. Rather than file right away, Manafort tries to hide evidence.
Manafort finally files #FARA 6/27/17 (from list of gov's exhibits):

documentcloud.org/documents/4783…
In 11/16 and 2/17: "MANAFORT and Gates conspired to knowingly and intentionally cause false and misleading letters to be submitted to the Department of Justice, through his unwitting legal counsel."

Obstruction of Justice
Conspiracy to OJ

Macron & Trudeau hurt Trump’s fee fees, so 45 ducks out climate portion of G7- G6 says good riddance.

NYTs & other RU etc. compro’d media outlets are likely under CI inv’n.
