🚨 Why did Bill Barr install his daughter in FINCEN, the Financial Crimes Enforcement arm of the US Treasury?

Is it related to the trillions of dollars of dirty money being laundered through our big banks?

Why has FINCEN not prosecuted?

FinCEN Fines Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort $10 Million for Significant and Long Standing Anti-Money Laundering Violations

While Barr was still waiting to be confirmed as AG, it was announced that his daughter - Mary Barr Daly - would be moving into a position at the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), the Treasury Department's financial crimes unit.

In 2018, we announced sanctions on Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska.

But then, he somehow made a deal with Treasury, shuffled his business, and evaded sanctions.

In Dec 2019, new sanctions on him were announced.

Treasury refused to enforce them.

The Epoch Times started their money laundering operation sometime in 2020.

After the 2020 election, they began producing more propaganda for Trump and becoming involved in stop the steal efforts.

Somewhat symbiotic. Trump massively boosted them, and they helped him.

The highly polished propaganda video that Holehouse (an Epoch Times alum until 2015) published, seemed custom made for the Trump campaign, and he boosted it four times. 2 million views.

Trump supporters began driving up the company’s stature. 6 million followers on Facebook.

As early as Dec 1 2020, Epoch Times subsidiary NTD began broadcasting the “Kraken” press conferences (Jenna Ellis, Phil Kline, Tony Shaffer).

By March, Lauren Boebert was promoting them as the most trusted source of information when people wanted Dems locked up.

I’ve always said that while there were some normal human bad decisions in Fani Willis’ relationship, they weren’t enough to justify all of this - and what *should* get way more coverage is the crusade against her, and against the rule of law.

Now it’s more important than ever.
The full context is always important.
And this is why it’s more important than ever.

So far, there have been almost no consequences for Republicans who attack our institutions to protect criminals.

The media is practically helping them normalize it, but some solidarity helps - and staying focused headed into Nov.

I think it’s important for people to see Ben Smith’s interview with Joe Kahn, Executive Editor of the New York Times, so I’m posting screenshots of the full article here.

The fact that he misrepresents and strawmans people’s issues with their reporting is really concerning.

🧵

I appreciate that @semaforben got Kahn to answer questions about this, but I’m also disappointed at the soft touch questions that tiptoe around elephants in the room, which IMO silently confirms that NYT is avoiding real accountability for any of this.


Image
Image
Image
Image
@semaforben At one point in the interview, after claiming that the NYT’s role is to inform the public, Kahn even admits that citizens are woefully uninformed or misinformed about highly important issues.

But then he walks right past it, making clear that isn’t really his priority at all.

I try my best not to weigh in on topics that I’m not well versed on, and don’t weigh in on divisive, emerging events until I can share what I believe is reliable info. The same goes for the Palestine protests.

If anyone cares about my personal views, I will say this much.

/1
What is happening in Gaza is a humanitarian nightmare. I blame Netanyahu, Likud, and the right wing extremists who control the government.

They are Israel’s Trump and MAGA. Bibi is corrupt. His actions harm Israel on the world stage. An authoritarian who inflames divisions.

/2
I believe Bibi let the people of Israel down. He shuffled funds to Hamas to keep Gaza & the West Bank divided b/c he wants to undermine the very idea that Palestinians should have their own state.

He pulled resources to help extremists push more settlements, ensuring a 10/7.

I’m not the target audience but this essay is dishonest; it reads like an attempt to lock in right wing judicial gains under pretense of principle.

Disappointing from Luttig.

If the “conservative” legal movement can’t survive without these damaging myths… maybe it shouldn’t?
.@greggnunziata apparently doesn’t want anyone to notice the corrupting influence that Citizens United and dark money-funded astroturfing have had - from the Tea Party to Clarence Thomas.

And those who recognize it are “liberals” trying to “recklessly delegitimize” the Court.


Image

Image
Image
@greggnunziata Originalism and textualism were an attempt to create a “denomination” in the legal field that transformed the constitution into a religious text - one that “liberals” (i.e. everyone else) simply aren’t qualified to interpret.

And only *they* can now fix… the rest of America. Image
