Well this is unusual, a 7 year old bribery allegation where a lawyer tried to bribe a police agency (not officers) with £1m as part of a bizarre plot to release £274m in a Swiss bank that was claimed to be the CIA's money.#ButNothingsHappening HT @MuseScry fcced.com/uk-lawyer-invo…
So a partner at a 'prestigious' law firm tries to bribe the police, by paying the agency £1M or their pension as they had budget problems. Who bribes a law enforcement agency instead of individual cops?
That's weird but it gets weirder!
The lawyer claimed it was CIA's secret money to pay for operation in Somalia, that he wanted his suspect out of jail & given his passport so he could get the £274M from a Swiss bank as part of a sting against the suspect he was representing.
Setting up his client? Sounds Swampy
He also claimed he was just the messenger for a former SAS Sergeant who was running the sting. Really?
Oh it gets weirder than that...
After the police declined his offer, he tried again & was rebuffed by the cops.
The judge thought it was so bizarre he didn't take any action!
So the lawyer denied it happened to the Guardian & then his company released a vague statement remembering that he had met with the cops.
The defendant was convicted in December & the source of much of the money, a Dutch shipbuilding company claimed they stole it in con scheme.
So did the shipping company really get conned out of €100m in 2011 & it finally discover it after this money laundering network was busted? Or was this money knowingly laundered for some purpose to someone claiming to be CIA or CIA with an alleged Vatican middleman?
Then it gets weirder, after failing to get his client out of jail to get the money out of the Swiss bank. The lawyer switches sides & tried to prove the client stole the money from Allseas shipbuilders. If he couldn't get away did he have to become the scapegoat for it?
The defense tried to show that the lawyer had been involved in misconduct & left the defendant holding the bag when it failed. But the judge ruled it wasn't relevant to the case? Really?
The lawyer claims he wasn't trying to liberate this money that supposedly belonged to the CIA. He was enlisting the police's help with a £1m bribe to the agency to run a sting on his client. Sure.
So he offers a bribe to the police but it doesn't come up into record until more than 6 years later when the defense raises it to defend their client. A lawyer now representing the other side since the bribe failed...
The law firm claims their partner wasn't really offering a bribe, he was just communicating the offer from a client, an alleged intel officer who was former SAS, to the cops.
Claiming even he didn't think the bribe & info about the money was legitimate. #Weird#Swamp

For those who don't understand the law in this case, Congress has authorized the Attorney General to specially appoint lawyers & conduct legal proceedings at the same level as US Attorneys without confirmation. It's specifically authorized.
While Canon ignores Section 515, it specifically authorizes AGs to appoint special attorneys to prosecute criminal cases & run grand juries same as a US Attorney can.
She claims the law does not authorize the AG to appoint a special counsel with the authority of a US Attorney.
Julian Assange flying to the North Marianas to plead guilty to espionage.
Gets a 62 month prison sentence, but will be released with time served for his 5 years in British prison.
The choice of the Northern Marianas Islands is unusual.
That US territory is a hub for Chinese money laundering to the US & to US politicians. Wonder if he will testify to a US grand jury while he is there? Or has he already done so by Zoom?
The Chinese have been buying off Swampy politicians on Pacific islands that are US territories to infiltrate them to get into the US financial system.
The Northern Marianas, the Solomons, & many others...
Beny Steinmetz connects to so much corruption around the world!
Steinmetz was arrested 3 years ago shortlay after FBI seized Hunter & Rudy's electronic devices including communications with his lawyer former FBI Director Louis Freeh.
#ButNothingsHappening
On behalf of Steinmetz & other clients, Freeh tried to gain access to Trump & Biden through Guiliani & Hunter. Freeh marked all his emails as Attorney Client privileged in an effort to protect them. DOJ needed filter teams or a special master to read them.
Exclusive: The case of the Michael Cohen condo just got a whole lot more interesting!
I found an online report on the resident. It isn't an embassy or a diplomat.
It appears to be a couple who are financial reporters for CNBC & Bloomberg?
It was well publicized that Michael Cohen's condo at 111 Murray Street is 19West or 19W.
A condo that he rented on 11/27/18 prior to pleading guilty in SDNY on 11/29/18.
The website identifies as a resident of 19W Sara A Eisen, 39 formerly of Cincinatti, OH.
It appears to be Sara A. Eisen the co-host of CNBC's Squakbox. One of her associates listed on the website is her husband Matthew Levine. usphonebook.com/address/111-mu…
The majority of Daszak's funds came from DOD, but the previous investigations focused on Daszak taking money from NIH that prohibited him from conducting GoF work.
Work he did in Wuhan anyway & concealed it from NIH.
Daszak claimed he 'accidentally' conducted GoF work in Wuhan in 2018-2019. But he concealed this from NIH until 2021 even though his grants required immediate reporting of 'accidental' GoF results.
US sanctions Russian Dmitrii Aleksandrovich Beloglazov, the owner of the financial firm Titul for colluding with Putin's Oligarch Oleg Deripaska to sell his shares in an Austrian construction firm!
Shares frozen by sanctions...
