Nothings happening, other than an executive of a US telecom firm indicted for illegally shutting down web conferencing meetings on orders from Chinese intelligence. Looks like Company 1 may be Webex?
#ButNothingsHappening
Seems Xinjian Jin AKA Julien Jin is in China & not in US custody...

Looks like a planned effort to disrupt Tiananmen Square commemorations & events.
The CCP was using leverage against companies based in China to influence events outside of China...
Jin was illegally silencing US users of the web conferencing software on orders of the Chinese government. Then lying to US company officials about doing so.
This sets a good precedent, wonder if any Twitter or Facebook executives are banning people on orders from China?
Identifying users all over the world for free speech that would be illegal in China. Then spying on the users, identifying them & their contact info, shutting down meeting & blocking access to the web meetings.
Jin & the Chinese fabricated evidence of violations of Terms of Service (TOS) to justify banning users & canceling meetings. But were also spying upon users in the US & using US servers. Lying to company execs that this was all valid...
They also set up fake accounts & framed users for misconduct including supporting terrorism, incitement to violence & child abuse. All to persuade Company 1 (likely Webex based on Jin's Linked-in account) to let PRC cancel these meetings & ban users.
PRC authorities also used the identification of participants, provided by Jin, to intimidate participants or their family members that live in China.
FBI has a wanted poster up for the suspect. Also gettign suggestions it may be Zoom that he was working for. The guy with the same name who was a software developer for Webex doesn't have a face picture... fbi.gov/wanted/counter…
Reuters is identifying his employer as Zoom, but I don't know the source of information that backs that up...

One of the ways the Swamp owns 3rd world countries, get the IMF & World Bank to recommend they consolidate their debt to stay solvent.
Have countries, oil companies & middle men rig shady loan deals to be paid out in oil for decades to come.
#ButNothingsHappening
This case includes Trafigura, the company I did a thread on yesterday for corruption with Brazilian state oil company Petrobas. But all the usual suspects rig these kinds of deal to mortgage 3rd world countries into servitude of the oil traders.
These programs are basically the Pay-Day loans market for countries with commodities. After you run out of money to pay Trafigura or or Glencore you usually have to go to a loan shark to get money to pay them off, that loan shark is usually China who repos your country...

Trafigura under the microscope for bribing Brazilian oil company Petrobras.
Trafigura is part of the oil services middle man market, where they can pass bribes back & forth between oil producers, big oil companies, banks & the politicians that protect them. #ButNothingsHappening
The cases are now transitioning from pursuing the corporation & securing their cooperation phase, to using the #receipts to go after the executive behind the corruption.
Brazil is sharing the information from the case with the FBI & DOJ. Which is coming full circle since the FBI shared the evidence with Brazil in 2014 that kicked off many of the #ButNothingsHappening cases.

Finally got a little time to read Judge Sullivan's ruling on the #GenFlynn case.
Read about 12 pages & saw nothing new but I think it gives an explanation for the pardon, to prevent the judge from ruling on DOJ's "Presumption of Regularity" in the case.
courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Presumption of Regularity is legal principle that a judge must accept the word of a federal agent or prosecutor unless he has evidence to refute what the fed says.

It's ironclad legal principle & DOJ made it a major problem in this case as I'll explain.
From 11/30/17 until 1/29/20 both the DOJ & Flynn's defense agreed that Flynn was guilty of the crime. During which time Van Grack & the SCO filed a lot of documents attesting to Flynn's guilt without rebuttal. Making that the record of the case, with a Presumption of Regularity.

Looks like newpapers got the #receipts leaked from the Italian cops. Billions in money laundering through major banks for the ‘Ndrangheta organized crime syndicate!
Claimed to be managing $500B in accounts! #ButNothingsHappening
HT @gm2dm
Suspect denies the charges but the investigation continues.
The 'entrepreneur' had to companies in Malta identified in the #PanamaPapers & the records show laundering through some of the usual suspect countries...

With the Christine Fang honey trap & fund raising for Democrat politicians being revealed, wonder if the researchers on Twitter can identify the 2 midwestern mayors she slept with...

axios.com/china-spy-cali…
Can't tell if they are hinting there are 4 officials she is known to have slept with. They note 2 mayors & 1 former elected official. Then say FBI surveillance caught her on tape with 1 of the mayors & another elected officials. Are they the former elected official or a 4th one?
Nevermind on the former elected official, it seems they are the second source confirming the 3 politicians she was reportedly sleeping with.

DOJ charges former Deputy Mayor & aide to Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti with multiple federal crimes!

#ButNothingsHappening
latimes.com/california/sto…
Raymond Chan spent his time as Deputy Mayor in charge of economic development in 2016-2017, shaking down developers. It's almost like these regulatory & approval processes were designed to help Swamp creatures get rich.
This time they were shaking down Chinese developers who were willing to pay bribes to get their projects approved.
