Looks like bad new for Goldman Sachs, Hillary's favorite bankers. Looks like there won't be a non-prosecution agreement for them, but a guilty plea AND flipping! #ButNothingsHappening! ft.com/content/2658ac…
They won't get to scapegoat a couple of rogue bankers in Asia who also happened to be funneling money to Clinton/Obama donors!
Jho Low funneled a lot of money to American politicians using middlemen to launder the case to hide the foreign influence. The primary goal was to stop the FBI/DOJ investigation of #1MDB
Sure they weren't aware of billions of dollars of fraud that they were making a healthy profit off of! I guess the DOJ people who argued that corrupt banks were too big to be held accountable aren't in charge any more!
That may be because those banks got sweetheart deals to make it look like they were held accountable, but without having to hand over the receipts!
This is beautiful, Goldman Sachs hired Kirkland law firm in an effort to force the head of the DOJ Criminal Division appointed by Trump to recuse from the case. He got a waiver to continue going after them & so did Barr.

Gone are the days of German leaders from East Germany, weakening NATO by not spending their agreed upon defense budget.
Gone are the days fo German politicians buying energy from Russia & taking Swampy deals & well paid seats on Russian company boards.
Credit Suisse pleads guilty & flips for helping 475 US account holders hide billions from the IRS in off-shore accounts.
They have also signed a deferred prosecution agreement for other crimes & agreed to cooperate!
Crimes from 2010-2021!
#ButNothingsHappening
Credit Suisse will pay $510M in fines & penalties in addition to the guilty plea.
After corrupt bankers collapsed Credit Suisse, UBS bought them & are now also forced to comply with the cooperation agreement!
It's a 2 for 1 special!
The reason for the requirement to plead guilty is likely because when they committed these crimes, they were under a Deferred Prosecution Agreement signed in 2014 that required their cooperation.
They didn't think DOJ would hold them to it!
How long before people realize that Trump sets up cases to get precedents set in court?
Once the exact parameters & processes for using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 are confirmed deporting Tren de Aragua, how long does Trump wait to use it on China's 1000 Talents spy program?
It would be very easy to prove in court by the precedents set at this time that the 1000 Talents program is a predatory incursion against the United States by the Chinese government.
