Interesting, a German politician serving in the Bundestag was secretly getting abut $2M a year from a billionaire as 'consulting fees' to his law firm. Payments stopped a few months after he left office but exceeded 12M Euro from 2008-2015. #ButNothingsHappening.
It's in German but here are some snips that are translated by my browser.
Of course he hid behind attorney client privilege claiming to be bound by "strictly, legally regulated confidentiality".
Cool story bro!
I'm guessing this Swiss billionaire didn't want Europe consolidating enough to close all the loopholes in tax evasion & money laundering laws!
Looks like the party he was Deputy Chief of wanted to pretend to be populist to keep voters from supporting right wing populist politicians. Need them voting for the Swamp in Germany too!

CEO of UnitedHealthcare's insurance division gunned own in Manhattan outside of annual investor meeting.
Prior to 2021, he headed UH's govt division covering Medicare & retirement that Trump's DOJ accused of billions in fraud. #ButNothingsHappening nypost.com/2024/12/04/us-…
In 2003, UnitedHealthcare & othe insurance companies convinced Congress & the Bush Admin to create Medicare Advantage claiming they could save the govt. money.
Instead they overbilled the US for more than a decade until the Obama Admin investigated. web.archive.org/web/2017021707…
After manipulating rates by spying on patient medical records & using 'consultants' to find hidden patient medical problems so they could raise their 'risk' rate & bill higher premiums from Medicare, then they switched to an AI program to deny their care. cbsnews.com/news/unitedhea…
yWhat may be the biggest part of the agreement, DOJ is referring Raytheon to DOD & other agencies to begin a review to determine if Raytheon or individuals involved should be suspended from government contracts & debarred from future contracts!
So in addition to the corruption & bribery, the risks of Raytheon committing crimes to conceal corruption related to arms sales to foreign governments is a major factor in this case.
Opens contractors up to other off the books deals.
Raytheon as a corporation has now flipped on their executives who made these decisions. Which means Raytheon can only survive as a business & defense contractor if it provides all the receipts for criminal prosecutions.
Raytheon will pay $950 million to settle the allegations against the company for several different criminal schemse the company participated in.
Raytheon accepted a deferred prosecution agreement that becomes a confession at trial if they don't cooperate! justice.gov/usao-edny/pr/r…
The 1st set of charges are in EDNY. Bribing Qatari officials for defense contracts.
Then conspiracy by not report the bribes on the paperwork requesting permission to export the arms to Qatar. This sets a precedent for EVERY arms export deal!
Mayor Adams indicted by the DOJ following an FBI investigation.
And people still want to side with the Swamp against th FBI & DOJ.
Why could they still believe #ButNothingsHappening after 14 years of indictments & convictions?
Remember the researchers at Georgia Tech who were getting paid by the DOD & USAF to spy on Trump & feed that info into Hillary's oppo research campaign?
DOJ joined a lawsuit accusing GT on behalf of those researchers of lying to DOD about compliance with cybersecurity procedures.
So the cybersecurity people accessing NSA data to spy upon Donald Trump for the Pentagon were willfully avoiding compliance with security proposals. Then pressuring GT to lie to the DOD & submit false audits claiming that their computers were secure.
#ButNothingsHappening
I know some people still believe Hillary's Russia Hoax that told them FBI was investigating & spying on Trump.
How long are you going to continue to believe Hillary's smokescreen & help hide that it was her campaign & the Pentagon that spied on Trump?
