The documents alleging #FelixSater's illicit conduct are listed in the lawsuit brought by the city of Almaty, the capital of #Kazakhstan, and the looted #BTABank in that city.
Some of the $440 million was intended to finance a #TrumpTowerMoscow, court papers show.
The Almaty plaintiffs describe a farflung scheme to hide much of the stolen money in America using Sater, a violent felon and stock swindler, and #RobertWolf, a Moses & Singer partner
Wolf asked DCReport to delay the publication of this article so that he could prepare responses
Sater in 1998 got a sweetheart deal after he confessed to stock swindles that cost victims at least $40 million. He never spent a day in prison.
Feds worked to conceal records, misled or outright lied to the stock swindle victims
Far-Right Platform #Gab Has Been Hacked—Including Private Data
The transparency group #DDoSecrets says it will make the 70 GB of passwords, private posts, and more available to researchers, journalists, and social scientists
Those #Gab patrons, whose numbers have swelled after Parler went offline, include large numbers of #Qanon conspiracy theorists, white nationalists, and promoters of former president Donald Trump's election-stealing conspiracies that resulted in the January 6 riot
American taxpayers are funding the defence for US Capitol rioters
60 of the 274 charged rioters have been granted taxpayer-funded representation appointed to them either through the federal public defender's office or private counsel
The Criminal Justice Act, which was passed in 1964 by Congress, ensures that anyone charged with federal crimes will have access to legal representation, which falls in step with the 6th Amendment to the US Constitution.
But it then places the burden on taxpayers to foot the bill for these federal defendants' representation, which could cost in the millions.
Save Democracy, Senate Democrats Must Kill The Filibuster
Political unity between these parties is not possible given the starkly, indeed diametrically, opposed positions the parties have taken with respect to our system of democracy itself
Rep. #AndyBiggs (R-AZ) had links to the #StopTheSteal campaign aimed at keeping Trump in office despite his election loss, and whose leader, #AliAlexander, claimed helped him organize the Capitol protest that turned violent
Rep. #LaurenBoebert (R-CO) has close connections to the #ThreePercenter militia group, who had members take part in the Jan. 6 insurrection, and other right-wing extremist groups, and has been accused of leading suspected militants through the Capitol ahead of the assault
Center-right Republicans fear party headed for disaster
Their worry is that the party is branding itself as the party of insurrectionists and conspiracy theorists. This spells catastrophe for the GOP’s ability to appeal beyond a hardcore base
A spokeswoman for Rep. #AdamKinzinger (R-Ill.), one of the 10 GOP House members to vote for Trump’s impeachment this month, sent The Hill an email statement blasting #QAnon’s Greene.
“Congressman Kinzinger has said from day one that QAnon has no place in Congress. And while he respects the voice of the people and their right to elect a #MarjorieGreene, he does not agree with the decision to give her a committee seat”
#Louisiana Cemetery Refuses To Bury Black Deputy Because Of 'WHITES-ONLT’ POLICY
The widow of #DarrellSemien, who died last Sunday, was stunned to learn that #OaklinSpringsCemetery in Allen Parish had such a policy that dated back to a 1950s
Nearly a quarter of the residents in Allen Parish are Black
When she and her children went to the cemetery to pick out a plot, the saleswoman “just looked us cold in the face, and straight-up said, ‘I can’t sell you a plot,’”
The saleswoman also reportedly said that the graveyard was not for people of color
“It’s a white human being-only cemetery”
H. Creig Vizena, the board president said that he was stunned to learn Semien was denied burial.
