A slip up by the lawyers for the company confirm that, yes, the company is actually a bank.
It's not Alfa or Deutsche, people.
Thanks Judge
Govt confirms that this case started with DC prosecutors and then was transferred to Mueller. Thus, the investigation pre-dates Mueller.
Govt wanted to increase daily fines to $300,000
In March 2019, govt says that their records don't match with the records provided by the mystery bank
Judge gets testy with the govt prosecutor
In April the govt withdrew its request to increase the fines
So the govt had some sort of concerns that the bank wasn't fully producing docs and/or statements. In April 2019 the govt said that they continued to have grave concerns but withdrew its request to increase the fines because the bank did these 4 things
Those are the main things that stood out to me on a quick skim. If you found this kind of work interesting, consider supporting @forensicnewsnetpatreon.com/forensicnews
The bank is not:
-Alfa Bank
-Deutsche Bank
-ADCB
-Bank of Cyprus
-VTB

Hostile takeover + selective leaking + emotionally charged rhetoric with little substance. It’s the same, boring playbook. #twitterfiles
Musk and the people with whom he’s surrounded himself are copy-pasting the faux rage machine (see: WikiLeaks, the laptop, masks, etc etc etc etc)
This isn’t an adult discussion about the limitations of online speech. It’s just clickbait for the dying platform.
Make conservatives think it’s an existential crisis to the world, make liberals rage quote tweet = Engagement. It’s such an easy formula for bad actors. It’s tired.
I know people are tired of "collusion" talk, but it doesn't mean that this isn't a huge five-alarm fire still.
Trump received millions (I've heard 8 figures) from Saudi to host the LIV Golf nonsense and now a big real estate deal. He's running for President tomorrow.
All the while, Trump had top secret code word documents in his office at his house.
Operative questions I've yet to see asked of either the Trump or Saudi sides: When and where did the LIV Golf negotiations take place?
Democrats lead in 214 House races. They have to take the lead and win 4 of these for the majority.
CA13, AZ6 look plausible. Maybe CA41? Maybe OR5?
CA22 isn't out of the question either. I think the Democrats best chance is to sweep CA13, CA41, and CA22 and pick up maybe the AZ6 seat or a Boebert recount?
The House is going to be at MOST a 7-seat lead for the GOP. If *everything* goes right for the Democrats, they could hold the House with 219 seats.
Imagine a 218-217 House... It's going to be a long 2 years.
