NEW: The son of a dead @DeutscheBank executive — armed with hundreds of confidential bank files — has been secretly helping the FBI and the House Intelligence Committee investigate the bank and @realDonaldTrump. nytimes.com/2019/10/01/bus…
@DeutscheBank @realDonaldTrump I've spent the past 5 years following @BikiniRobotArmy as he sought answers about the suicide of his father, Bill Broeksmit. This is his story, based largely on my upcoming book, "Dark Towers." harpercollins.com/9780062878816/…
@DeutscheBank @realDonaldTrump @BikiniRobotArmy Inside his father’s personal email accounts, Val Broeksmit discovered evidence of wrongdoing inside @DeutscheBank and about its deep connections to Russia (among many other things).

This is how FBI agents convinced Broeksmit to share the materials with them.
@DeutscheBank @realDonaldTrump @BikiniRobotArmy Early this year, @thelittleidiot heard about Val’s trove of files and connected him with @RepAdamSchiff. The @HouseIntel committee then subpoenaed Val this summer as part of its @realDonaldTrump-@DeutscheBank investigation.
@DeutscheBank @realDonaldTrump @BikiniRobotArmy @thelittleidiot @RepAdamSchiff @HouseIntel This is also the story of my long relationship with Val — the most intense of my journalism career. Sometimes things got pretty weird.

New: More than a million Americans a year get breath-tested for alcohol. Many are sent to jail based on results.

But the @nytimes found the tests are often unreliable and lead to wrongful convictions. @StacyCowley @jbsgreenberg @Nataliekitro @randypennell nytimes.com/2019/11/03/bus…
@nytimes @StacyCowley @jbsgreenberg @Nataliekitro @randypennell We found *major* problems with breath-testing devices.

Their software has bugs. They are poorly maintained by police. They aren’t set up properly. Crime labs screw up results. States have skimped on safeguards.

With alarming frequency, the machines just don't work.
@nytimes @StacyCowley @jbsgreenberg @Nataliekitro @randypennell A few examples we found:
• A family of rats was nesting inside one machine
• An untrained police intern was calibrating machines
• A lab technician was ordered to destroy test results
• A machine started smoking – and then was put into service

Breaking: @DeutscheBank last year sold a California office complex to a company linked to a Russian oligarch. Bank staff tried and failed to block the deal, citing potential damage to the bank's reputation. with @charlie_savage nytimes.com/2019/10/31/bus…
@DeutscheBank @charlie_savage Executives in the US were overruled by officials in Frankfurt, who noted that the transaction wasn't illegal.

Staff in the US then took the unusual step of filing a federal "suspicious activity report" -- about the bank's own transaction.
@DeutscheBank @charlie_savage This is not @DeutscheBank's first Russian problem. It has been busted repeatedly for not doing enough to crack down on suspicious transactions, and it's under federal investigation.

Yet it still is doing business with politically connected Russians. nytimes.com/2019/06/19/bus…

Exclusive: Steve Mnuchin did what looks like a big favor for his longtime friend, the infamous financier Michael Milken -- the latest controversy around the Trump administration's “opportunity zone" tax breaks. Big story by @EricLiptonNYT @JesseDrucker nytimes.com/2019/10/26/bus…
@EricLiptonNYT @JesseDrucker Mnuchin and Milken met repeatedly to discuss opportunity zones, which are supposed to help poor areas. His @MilkenInstitute pushed @USTreasury to make them easier to qualify for.

We learned that Milken stands to profit from what his institute is advocating.
@EricLiptonNYT @JesseDrucker @MilkenInstitute @USTreasury Days after meeting with Milken and his institute, Mnuchin told Treasury staff to ignore guidelines on how to designate areas as opp zones and to certify an area in the Nevada desert.

The result: a 700-acre property that Milken co-owns suddenly became eligible for the tax break.

Intelligence Community Refuses to Release Dan Coats Memo Tied to Whistleblower Complaint

theepochtimes.com/intelligence-c…
This "secret" Dan Coats memo is in the footnotes of ICIG Atkinson's letter to DNI Maguire which accompanied the whistleblower complaint.
I first looked into the memo because of the particular timing of Dan Coats' creation of the Election Threats Executive—July 19—the day after Trump placed a hold on aid to Ukraine.

My interviews and research did not surface a connection between the two.

While observers have long pointed out that former @CIA Director @JohnBrennan appears to have played a key role in the #Spygate scandal, actions taken by #Brennan and the #CIA now appear to have become a central focus of investigators. (Thread 👇) theepochtimes.com/focus-in-spyga…
Sen. @LindseyGrahamSC said IG #Horowitz was “doing a very in-depth dive about the FISA warrant application” & “the behavior regarding the counterintelligence operation.”

Graham noted the IG report has been delayed because “every time you turn around, you find something new.”
#Brennan appears to have played a key role in establishing the #FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign—including making repeated use of questionable foreign intelligence.

@Jim_Jordan Any #Trump sycophant, alleged pedophile protector, trying to besmirch this hero, while his own children will have to suffer from the decisions made for the country, is sad. Why wouldn't the #GOP make it an open door session if they had nothing to hide? Your reign ends soon.
@Jim_Jordan As time passes, more comes to light, with the Steele dossier, Trumps alleged involvement in Epstein child sex ring where Secretary Acosta stopped the FBI investigation before more suspects could be arrested, and money laundering campaign contributions from Russian operatives.
@Jim_Jordan Plus your support for a theocratic monarchy that really acts like a ruthless inhumane dictator & desire to sell American technology to them when it could then be used to kill our own troops or handed over to Russia is genuinely INSANE. Who is dishonorable, spineless sycophantic?

Haven't U wondered why HC funneled 300k to the McCabe family? Haven't U wondered why Turner placed client privilege files on these laptops to prevent the agents from viewing the files on the laptops?

So many laws were broken in this cover-up. Imagine if you had done this, the D's would call for your hanging

(1.) The #DemMemo has been released by Shifty Adam Schiff and the House Intelligence Committee. Some quick observations:

- It does not deny that the DOJ COULD NOT obtain a FISA warrant from Carter Page until it relied on the dossier.

(continued)
______
#CADem2018 FBI's Russia
(2.)
- The #DemMemo is political and poorly prepared. Embarrassingly enough, handwritten changes had to be made to correct the number of FISA judges involved in the FISA process b/c Schiff got it wrong.

(continued)
______
#CADem2018 FBI's Russia House Intelligence Committee
(3).
- It is clear from the #DemMemo that the DOJ failed to meet the required disclosure required of lawyers, which owe a duty of candor to a judge, particularly in seeking a criminal warrant.

(continued)
______
#CADem2018 FBI's Russia House Intelligence Committee Schiff
