This is another deal involving corrupt officials, mining rights & an oligarch buying those rights by paying into various Swamps to get the rights & protect them.
This oligarch is Dan Gertler, sanctions by President Trump using the Magnitsky Act.
This sets a key precedent that after DOJ imposes a settlement, other investors who were denied the mining rights due to the corruption can sue in US courts as victims of the scheme.
It's all about setting precedents that help drain the Swamp!
Corruption the Democratic Republic of Congo ties into Marc Rich (Clinton pardon) & several of the #SiliconValleyOligarchs who need their cobalt for their technology applications.
The Ziff Brothers are important to #Spygate. The dirt on Hillary that Russian asset Natalia Veselnitskia offered @donaldtrumpjr was dirt on the Ziff brothers. Provided by Fusion GPS, that may have been provided to the Russians by Obama Treasury officials!
If you are just learning about the Swamp creature named Leonard Leo & his control of ‘conservative’ judges who work for Fortune 500 multinational corporations instead of the American people; now is your chance to catch up.
#ButNothingsHappening
Leo’s friends then use your fake news to tell you that you should blindly support judicial rulings disguised as protecting the Constitution. When in reality, they are protecting Swampy relationships between corrupt companies & the politicians they own.
Why does your fake news want MAGA to support judges controlled by ’sleazeball’ Leonard Leo?
Because they believe that it’s very important that you support the judges who work for the Swamp.
How do they control them? Consulting fees, gifts & trips.
Gone are the days of German leaders from East Germany, weakening NATO by not spending their agreed upon defense budget.
Gone are the days fo German politicians buying energy from Russia & taking Swampy deals & well paid seats on Russian company boards.
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.
