Steve @ClimateAudit has a great thread on the 'new' Russia declassification. So far these docs are not new, don't reveal much, but there are some critical dots that may help connect other things. These are just slightly different redactions, erasing some info & revealing some.
Over the years I have brought up a point that redactions may be done in ways to deceive those of us who fill in the blanks. Here is an example where the "d" was deleted from the word "and" to make it look like it was "an ⬛️⬛️⬛️ source" with us trying to fill in a 3 letter word.
This could clearly deceive us into thinking this was a type or category of source. Rather than a way to camouflage that it was just "his" source which would make no sense after "an" but does after "and".
HFZ Capital Group real estate development company was taking kickbacks from the mob & construction companies on tax subsidized projects in NYC! Lots of guilty pleas, wonder how many have flipped? #ButNothingsHappening
Seems their investors & lenders are looking for $300M that they gave to the group that it can't repay. Wonder where all that money went...thecity.nyc/manhattan/2019…

I wonder if this ties into the recent conviction with 10 year sentence & civil suit seizing assets illegally acquired by El Salvador's former President?
A bit more info on El Salvador's former President, one of more than 100 former Presidents & Prime Ministers being prosecuted for corruption at this time.
A must read thread (I don't think I've ever said that) about the mole running intel for the Royal Canadian Mounties.
Selling Five Eyes intelligence information to mobsters, helping a wide rang of crime networks by imbedding within law enforcement intel. #ButNothingsHappening
Ortis was selling 5Eyes intel to the Altaf Khanani money laundering organization who moves money on a global basis for both drug trafficking and terrorist organizations.
The network was laundering money in Toronto for a variety of criminal networks including "Chinese transnational cartels, Mexican and Colombian, Mid-East cartels..."
US DEA investigations lead to identifying most of these groups. But there were cartel moles at DEA too.
Deutsche Bank admits guilt & agrees to pay $100M in DOJ agreement for bribing Chinese officials over a period of 15 years.
Deutsche Bank has now flipped on their former executives & handed over the #receipts#ButNothingsHappening
This criminal case comes out of the 2019 SEC case for corrupt business practices in China & Russia. Which is how these Swamp draining cases have been working, get them on one violation, get a cooperation agreement, then hand the receipts off to the next agency to investigate!
NYT's of course tries to make this about Trump, but can't figure out why Trump's DOJ is busting Swampy banks for global bribery schemes of politicians from the Obama & Bush Admins...
