Ex-Fugees member Pras Michel rules out plea deal related to charges that he conspired with fugitive Malaysian financier Jho Low, at center of 1MDB case, to illegally funnel foreign campaign contributions into 2012 US presidential election, by @hsu_spencer
washingtonpost.com/local/legal-is…
A civil forfeiture complaint last year alleged Michel & an ex-Justice dept official moved $ to support lobbying effort to end 1MDB investigation. Former RNC finance co-chair Elliott Broidy, aka Individual No 1, was involved, but has not been charged.
washingtonpost.com/local/legal-is…
I'm amazed Elliott Broidy hasn't been charged related to lobbying on behalf of Jho Low and 1MDB. He and his wife's law firm received millions for work they did related to the case. Perhaps he's cooperating or working on a plea deal?

Trump's investments are earning him money in office. We need to know if it's clean - Congress has grounds for an investigation, and the American people deserve to find out what his businesses are up to.

Thank you @RepSpeier for always following the $

Since @counterchekist announced FEATHERS21 cleared for takeoff, I decided to dig back through some old FEATHERS bulletins to see what I missed.
We all know...there's an Alpha. Sometimes, there's an Omega too. Let's go deeper into Feathers14 aka IVANKA COUNTERINTEL INVESTIGATION
First of all, hey @CNN: 🎶what a difference 367 days make, and the difference is....stark!🎶

why no linky from your 3/2/18 article to your 2/28/17 article, @CNN?
I mentioned an Omega, yes?
"The elder Tiah was implicated in a crackdown on corporate crime in Malaysia. In 2002, Tony Tiah was convicted of giving false information to the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange in a case related to stock brokerage Omega Holdings."

I remember when 1MDB started, they were offering big bucks to every investment banker in town. The smart ones were sceptical about it
They moved into the same building block as my office. My building manager then told me hems never seen a nicer (and expensive) office ever in his 15 years working there
They had the 8th floor which opened onto a lovely roof terrace. That’s where Shahrol & Co can be found can be found smoking cigars in the evening

Don’t worry about #Malaysia ’s #GST repeal, higher #Oil and sales tax will help. #ge14. The BN lost control of government. Dr. #MahathirMohamad stated that he will repeal the goods and services tax (GST) and replace it with the sales and services tax (SST). Why? @chedetofficial
#Najib passed the #GST to offset declining revenue as dependence on #oil backfired when oil prices collapsed. It's a tax on the final consumer & generates more tax revenue than the SST. In 2017, GST was 25% of the total tax revenue and 3.3% of GDP - key reason people are negative
But what's key is the rise of oil, which raises oil tax. So #GST becomes less key! Look at the relationship b/n oil and oil tax. Very strong! We assume oil rises to 73 (basically now) & 10% increase of subsidy, & SST revenue (less than GST). Let's look at what happens to fiscal
