Corruption cases moving forward in L.A. too!

Taking hookers for bribe payment, not a novel approach...
#ButNothingsHappening HT @JarradKushner
The businessman who paid the bribes has been cooperating with the FBI since August of 2017!

That's a lot of time to wear a wire while paying for favors with the planning commission of LA City!
So while Businessman A was working for the FBI, Councilman Englander was messaging him to help obstruct justice in the investigation.
He also lied to the FBI investigating the case! A case involving lots of Swampy activity in L.A. Some of it connected to Chinese investors trying to bribe their way into controlling real estate!
The investigations have been running fairly silently for several years, but in 2019, they started escalating to FBI serving warrants on city offices!
Let the Swamp draining continue!
I haven't found the businessman yet, but I am sure it is related to these large real estate corruption cases.
Chinese real estate development firms building large hotels...

Brass Balls Blog has a post up about this February report by the Privacy And Civil Liberty Board's assessment of NSA's collection & use of phone records that gives a bit of the scope of what 2 hop surveillance gathers studying 14 FISA warrants under the USA Freedom Act.
I have covered before that the NSA stopped this program & deleted the data last year, looks like it was in response to what this audit of the program was finding. This statute applied strictly to terrorists who might be working for foreign powers.
This is a victory in a long running effort to end the overly broad collection of phone records. Going back to at least 2004. Which resulted in this narrower law USA Freedom Act to apply to terrorists. Only 14 FISA warrants issued under the statute in 2018.

Social distancing works to reduce disease.

In 1918, Philadelphia chose to not cancel a parade as the flu was just impacting the city. 3 days later their hospitals were filled, we have learned the hard way that discounting a disease because it is in the early stages of it's spread is how to spread it.
The more effective social distancing & travel bans are in slowing the spread of the disease will lead people to reinforce their false belief that it was never a big deal to begin with. We are going to get the St. Louis chart & people will say Philly would never have happened...

France's Airbus entered into deferred prosecution & will pay over $3.9 BILLION in fines to resolve corruption & foreign bribery charges, violations of the Arms Export Control Act, and violations of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).

#ButNothingsHappening
A criminal information was just filed on Jan 28 charging them with conspiracy of the above charges. Of course, conspiracy means more than one, so there is more to come!

Airbus will now have to cooperate and turn over their receipts!
And WHO was Airbus bribing? None other than #China .... and other countries.

And of course they tried to hide their bribery by using layers of "business partners."

The US Attorney for the Eastern District of PA is having a press conference right now to announce public corruption charges against 4 people.

I'm looking for further details and will post in this thread.

#ButNothingsHappening
Oh, here's more, including who was charged:

#Philadelphia City Councilman Kenyatta Johnson

Dawn Chavous (Johnson's wife)

Abdur Rahim Islam and Shahied Dawan (former execs of Universal Community Homes))

Looks like Johnson and his wife were expecting to be charged soon:

Tomorrow, I'm commencing my rundown of the 25 artists (solo or group) who defined the past decade for me. This will be a personal list, not an estimation of zeitgeist-capturing, cultural impact. Every day, I'll post a few words & a sampler playlist of the artist's 2010-19 output Image
DAY 1. Despite the previous decade arguably representing their peak, experimental pop-noise provocateurs, XIU XIU, still released an impressive body of work that vacillated wildly between their poppiest & most out-there material, to thrilling effect.

From the Nintendo DS-assisted 'Dear God, I Hate Myself' to this year's extremely challenging 'Girl with Basket of Fruit', via their full length reinterpretation of the Twin Peaks soundtrack & two of their best & most accessible LPs, 'Always' & 'Forget', Jamie Stewart & co...

As @RitaKonaev notes, "Mattis had no problem disagreeing w/Obama about transgender people in the military or women in combat but won’t criticize Trump for asking foreign powers for dirt about political opponents.

This isn’t about him being above politics. This is his politics."
Excellent point here, and makes you wonder why Mattis' deference to the commander-in-chief is selectively applied in this manner 🤔
7 freshman House Ds, all with natsec experience: "If true, we believe these actions represent an impeachable offense ...

We call on our colleagues in Congress to consider the use of all congressional authorities available, including inherent contempt."
