Goldman Sachs reportedly fired Martin Weber, a Managing Director who ran the financing division in the Middle East & North Africa.

The firing came after Goldman did an internal review & found unacceptable due diligence issues.

January 2018, this article stated that Weber was based in Dubai and was "responsible for the sovereigns and supranationals business in Europe, Middle East and Africa."

Hmm, in 2015, Weber mentioned working with Etihad Airways and its bond issuance. Not sure if he worked on it or approved anything directly himself, but....

Imaad Shah Zuberi, a lobbyist and political donor to both Democrats and Republicans, pleaded guilty to falsifying records to conceal that he was working as a foreign agent, evading taxes, lobbying on behalf of foreign entities, and illegal campaign contributions.
He ran a venture capital firm called Avenue Ventures and solicited foreigners and foreign government reps by claiming he could use his influence in the DC swamp to change US foreign policy and create business for himself and clients.
Clients gave him loads of money for various political campaign contributions and for investing and consulting fees. He also hired lobbyists to get access to US officials, "some of whom took action in support of his clients." Some did, but most didn't.

"FOR THE BETTER PART OF TWO DECADES...Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump swam in the same social pool. They were neighbors in Florida. They jetted from LaGuardia to Palm Beach together. They partied at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club and dined at Epstein’s Manhattan mansion."
"In the wake of Epstein’s arrest last month on sex trafficking charges, many who socialized with him — including Trump — are eager to have it known that they never much liked the man, or weren’t really friends, or barely even knew him."

UNTRUE.
"...friends and assocs said the two wealthy NY-to-PB commuters had socialized for yrs, drawn together by a mix of money, women and power.

“They knew each other a long time,” said Sam Nunberg..."

The college admissions bribery scandal is so perfectly suited to @CaitlinPacific that you can't help but wonder if she was in on the conspiracy all along, to give her the chance to deliver a piece this gloriously lacerating. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
These lines are so key: "Much of the discussion of this scandal has centered on the corruption in the college-admissions process. But think about the kinds of jobs that the indicted parents held. Four of them worked in private equity, a fifth in the field of 'investments'..." 1/2
"...others in real-estate development and the most senior management of huge corporations. Together, they have handled billions of dollars’ worth of assets within heavily regulated fields—yet look how easily and how eagerly they allegedly embrace a crooked scheme." 2/2

(THREAD) BREAKING NEWS: This thread is a *live reading* of the new Mueller indictments against 12 Russians connected to Russian intelligence (the GRU) for hacking into the DNC, DCCC, and Clinton campaign. I hope you'll follow along and share with any others who may be interested.
1/ The indictment names 12 names, some of which we may have come across before in the Russian investigation. All will now be researched by major media and independent digital journalists to see if they intersect with the Steele dossier or anyone connected to the Trump campaign.
2/ Count 1 is Conspiracy to Commit An Offense Against the US and lists the defendants and mentions *unindicted co-conspirators*, which of course leaves open the possibility that some of these were American—and connected to the Trump campaign—though the indictment does not say so.
