Fiat Chrysler Automobiles pleads guilty for paying $3.5M bribes to UAW officials from 2009-2016 and no one covers it? DOJ even tweets it out using their initials so no one notices it.
I have been following this case for a long time as UAW officials were subjected to raids, indictments & then started pleading guilty.
Pending approval by the court, a monitor will be appointed to supervise Chrysler Fiat's labor relations to prevent corruption.
Now that all the UAW leaders are going to prison & Chrysler Fiat has confessed to the crimes, their executives will be next up! While Chrysler Fiat will have to hand over all the #receipts!
This connects to a General Motors RICO lawsuit against Chrysler Fiat for bribing UAW to give GM worse labor terms than CFA. A judge dismissd the case arguing that CFA workers were the ones harmed not GM, who had to pay more to it's workers to lose business
I'm on the Kevin Clinesmith hearing conference call. Sentencing for falsely editing a CIA email that confirmed Page was a CIA source in order to get a FISA renewal.
Judge Boasberg is hearing this case. I think Boasberg should be recused from the case is also the President Judge of the FISA Court who is forcing FBI to conduct reforms of their FISA Application process to prevent such false information being given to the FISA court.
Why would Carter Page pick McAdoo-Gordon to represent him?
She's a clown...
Not that type of clown, but one that isn't taken seriously.
Seems German prosecutors chose not to get warrants to arrest the executives when news broke that more than $2B in cash was missing from the company. #ButNothingsHappening ft.com/content/ed2e3f…
This story is broken by Financial Times, who exposed Wirecard in the first place. But German regulators, authorities, & the auditors all sided with the crooks at Wirecard & even opened criminal cases against FT reporters for allegedly colluding with investors shorting the stock.
German authorities claiming that when the $2B+ in money came up missing, that they never suspected that there might be fraud or embezzlement going on. Only after they let the crooks get away did that occur to them...
Seems the people trying to block the Gamestop issue are pointing to German regulators stopping short selling of Wirecard as their example of why short selling is good & regulations against it are bad! Really? Wirecard has been in the news a lot this week but most is paywalled...
In addition to the German regulators protecting Wirecard from short sellers who knew it was bankrupt, there was a German federal regulator fired for insider trading based on his knowledge of the Wirecard issues. German coverage only #ButNothingsHappening. wienerzeitung.at/nachrichten/wi…
Then we have a member of the media former "Bild" editor-in-chief Kai Diekmann and a former Defense Minister & Economics Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg doing Swampy lobbying & public relations for Wirecard.
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".
