#BUTNOTHINGSHAPPENING

Former Malaysian PM's trial reveals $626M in payments to a private bank account. Much of it from the Saudi Ministry of Finance & it's minister Faisal al Turki!
Razak is on trial for the One Malaysia Development Board corruption that stole billions through corruption. He was getting payments from then Saudi Finance Minister Faisal al Turki. He had previously been the head of Saudi Intelligence before taking over the Kingdom's money!
It looks like some of this money may have been paid from Saudi Finance Ministry accounts & then refunded to Prince al Turki! That might explain why he is not Finance Minister anymore! straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/m…
The Prince headed Saudi Intelligence from 1972 & resigned on 9/1/1. Ten days before Al Qaeda's attacks on NYC & Washington! His resignation was stunning because he had been appointed to another 4 year term in May of 2001! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turki_bin…
Following that, he was appointed to be the Saudi Ambassador to the U.K. from January 2003- July 2005.
He seems to have become a great friend of Tony Blair during that time period.
Because in 2010, the Prince used Tony Blair to help form a lucrative partnership with his brothers company PetroSaudi & the Chinese.

theguardian.com/politics/2016/…
The middleman? Nawaf Obaid, one of the bankers who set up #1MDB & worked for the Prince!
Tony Blair & the Prince were going to use their contacts to grease the skids for business deals in Africa & China for fun & profit! They even had a former Goldman Sachs executive on the PetroSaudi team!
The DOJ is currently negotiating with Goldman Sachs with prosecutors recommending that the banking firm must plead guilty for crimes related to funding of #1MDB threadreaderapp.com/thread/1121810…
The Saudis hired Blair to lobby China for them, but had misgivings that the payment splitting between two Blair companies made the deal look shady.
Looks like the kind of arrangement you would want to move money through different entities to make it hard to track. Using one name to work for businesses & the other to work with government agencies.
The Saudi's worried about the financial structure of Tony Blair's businesses. But Varun Chandra, a former Lehman Brothers banker and director of TBA sold them on it. The Saudis went along because Blair was getting Chinese senior leaders to warm up to PetroSaudi.
Remember at the same time Blair was the world's representative working with Middle East leaders to achieve peace. While pimping for the son of the then King of Saudi Arabia's company!
So the company was claiming to be an arm of the Saudi royal family & government, while Blair was asking for $100,000 a month retainer to woo the Chinese government leaders!
Of course at the same time, Blair was establishing a partnership between Peking University & his Faith Foundation! I'm sure that is all on the up and up just like his friend Bill Clinton's foundation!
All while Blair was lobbying the Chinese, getting partners for his Foundation, & running the Middle East Peace Process that failed. Fortunately, the Saudi leadership eventually shifted in another direction!
The #1MDB scandal also impacts US politics. There have been charges & investigations linking money laundered from #1MDB was used to fund political donations to Obama & Hillary but the cases were squashed. Then they tried to "influence" Trump & got busted!
The power shift in Saudi Arabia lead to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman assuming power & cracking down on corruption.

nytimes.com/2017/11/09/wor…
Princes over the years have allegedly stolen at least $100B dollars from the kingdom through corruption & embezzlement. Approximately 200 were detained in a November 2017 crackdown on the corruption.
This was based on an investigation starting in 2014, the same time a lot of the global money laundering cases were started by the FBI under James Comey.
President Trump even took to Twitter to support the corruption crackdown!
Among those arrested in the crackdown? Prince Faisal al Turki's brother, who was the founder of PetroSaudi the company Tony Blair was lobbying China for...

Bringing it back full circle, because PM Razak was arrested for trying to order investigators to change an audit into his money laundering with Jho Low.
Jho Low, a money launderer who used Hollywood as a means to launder money to both Obama & Clinton in the hopes of keeping the lid on the #1MDB investigation! #ButNothingsHappening
@threadreaderapp unroll please.
Beyond full circle maybe, Turki's middle man Obaid may be one of John Brennan's lackeys.

This will likely be overturned, but it effectively sidelines the cases against Trump until after the election & almost certainly after his 2nd term.

The AG almost certainly has this authority both to appoint a special counsel & to fund them from funds appropriated to the DOJ.
For those who don't understand the law in this case, Congress has authorized the Attorney General to specially appoint lawyers & conduct legal proceedings at the same level as US Attorneys without confirmation. It's specifically authorized. Image
While Canon ignores Section 515, it specifically authorizes AGs to appoint special attorneys to prosecute criminal cases & run grand juries same as a US Attorney can.
She claims the law does not authorize the AG to appoint a special counsel with the authority of a US Attorney.

Julian Assange flying to the North Marianas to plead guilty to espionage.
Gets a 62 month prison sentence, but will be released with time served for his 5 years in British prison.

Who'd he give up in exchange for the guilty plea?

The choice of the Northern Marianas Islands is unusual.

That US territory is a hub for Chinese money laundering to the US & to US politicians. Wonder if he will testify to a US grand jury while he is there? Or has he already done so by Zoom?
The Chinese have been buying off Swampy politicians on Pacific islands that are US territories to infiltrate them to get into the US financial system.
The Northern Marianas, the Solomons, & many others...

Oh, this will be fun!

Beny Steinmetz connects to so much corruption around the world!

Steinmetz was arrested 3 years ago shortlay after FBI seized Hunter & Rudy's electronic devices including communications with his lawyer former FBI Director Louis Freeh.
#ButNothingsHappening
Steinmetz focuses on the extractive industries, the root of most global swamp corruption.

So it's not a surprise that he has been sought for crimes around the world for buying friends & access to natural resources.
On behalf of Steinmetz & other clients, Freeh tried to gain access to Trump & Biden through Guiliani & Hunter. Freeh marked all his emails as Attorney Client privileged in an effort to protect them. DOJ needed filter teams or a special master to read them.

Exclusive: The case of the Michael Cohen condo just got a whole lot more interesting!

I found an online report on the resident. It isn't an embassy or a diplomat.
It appears to be a couple who are financial reporters for CNBC & Bloomberg?

Sara Eisen of CNBC & Matthew Levine!

Image
Image
It was well publicized that Michael Cohen's condo at 111 Murray Street is 19West or 19W.
A condo that he rented on 11/27/18 prior to pleading guilty in SDNY on 11/29/18.

He testified in the DANY Trump trial that an embassy is renting it $15k per month.
cityrealty.com/nyc/tribeca/11…
The website identifies as a resident of 19W Sara A Eisen, 39 formerly of Cincinatti, OH.
It appears to be Sara A. Eisen the co-host of CNBC's Squakbox. One of her associates listed on the website is her husband Matthew Levine. usphonebook.com/address/111-mu…

EcoHealth Alliance being suspended from all federal grants while pending disbarment of all future grants too!

Daszak stole money from NIH to perform Gain of Function work.

Looks like it would apply to Daszak's grants from the Department of Defense too!
#ButNothingsHappening
The majority of Daszak's funds came from DOD, but the previous investigations focused on Daszak taking money from NIH that prohibited him from conducting GoF work.
Work he did in Wuhan anyway & concealed it from NIH. Image
Daszak claimed he 'accidentally' conducted GoF work in Wuhan in 2018-2019. But he concealed this from NIH until 2021 even though his grants required immediate reporting of 'accidental' GoF results.

US sanctions Russian Dmitrii Aleksandrovich Beloglazov, the owner of the financial firm Titul for colluding with Putin's Oligarch Oleg Deripaska to sell his shares in an Austrian construction firm!
Shares frozen by sanctions...
#ButNothingsHappening
Typical of sanctions evading schemes, they attempted to use shell companies to disguise the transactions & the owners of the shell companies.

Clinton Fd. donor & Spygate's main author, Oleg Deripaska has been indicted by the US for his sanctions evasion.

They created a subsidiary to buy the shell company where Deripaska held his stock in the Austrian constrution company.
