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

Gone are the days of German leaders from East Germany, weakening NATO by not spending their agreed upon defense budget.

Credit Suisse pleads guilty & flips for helping 475 US account holders hide billions from the IRS in off-shore accounts.
They have also signed a deferred prosecution agreement for other crimes & agreed to cooperate!
Crimes from 2010-2021!
#ButNothingsHappening
Credit Suisse will pay $510M in fines & penalties in addition to the guilty plea.
After corrupt bankers collapsed Credit Suisse, UBS bought them & are now also forced to comply with the cooperation agreement!
It's a 2 for 1 special!
The reason for the requirement to plead guilty is likely because when they committed these crimes, they were under a Deferred Prosecution Agreement signed in 2014 that required their cooperation.
They didn't think DOJ would hold them to it!
How long before people realize that Trump sets up cases to get precedents set in court?
Once the exact parameters & processes for using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 are confirmed deporting Tren de Aragua, how long does Trump wait to use it on China's 1000 Talents spy program?
It would be very easy to prove in court by the precedents set at this time that the 1000 Talents program is a predatory incursion against the United States by the Chinese government.
