I love watching the libs try to blame Trump, by way of Putin over President Lukashenka of Belarus forcing down a Ryan Air jet to arrest a dissident. Claiming Trump's 'lawlessness' encouraged them to do this.
Yet they all forget that the Obama Admin set this precedent in 2013!
In 2013, the US had Italy, France, Spain, & Portugal deny airspace to Bolivia's version of Air Force 1, to force it to land in Austria or run out of fuel.
There authorities searched the plane for Edward Snowden to arrest him. npr.org/sections/thetw…
Biden's WH spokesperson Jen Psaki was State's voice at the time & admitted the US had asked a broad range of countries to get their help in arresting Snowden. Admitting we did orchestrate the hijacking of a foreign state's presidential jet but without saying so directly.
This isn't support for Lukashenka or his actions, he's a petty thug running a dictatorship. Nor is it a defense of Snowden, he's a traitor who sold out his country to Russia. But precedents were set, can't wait to see what @JenPsaki has to say today...

Reading the Judge Berman Jackson FOIA ruling.
They are arguing that the memo to Barr recommending no prosecution of Trump is not privileged because it was not predecisional. That Mueller had already decided to not prosecute Trump so Barr didn't protect him
storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… Image
Berman agrees with CREW that the memo was not about a prosecutorial decision, because of the fact that the President "would not be prosecuted was a given."

So Barr didn't decide to not prosecute Trump, Mueller did! Image
Then a couple of pages of black ink followed by this. DOJ did not assert privilege on the 1st Section of the memo & didn't mention it either. Leaving the judge in a position where DOJ did not claim privilege on it to avoid revealing it! Image

Huh, so Steele & Simpson had a spy get them illicit access to @ICIJorg #PanamaPapers that they used against Trump during the 2016 campaign.

The rats are fleeing the ship & pointing fingers at each other.

Wonder if anyone is facing charges for committing fraud to get access. This article identifies an April 2016 request for Panama Papers docs related to one of Paul Manafort’s shell companies...
Seems Mark Hollingsworth is a magnet for trouble...

So he appears to use journalism as a cover for doing oppo research against targets has a bunch of investigations of Trump on his website, mostly pointing to the same FBI stings we already know about.

Hunter's emails that he dropped for the FBI to get legal possession of them, have done it again. Exposing another Swamp creature, this time a former FBI Director trying to buy access to the big guy for global Swamp Creatures!
#ButNothingsHappening!
Looks like Freeh donated $100k to Beau's children in 2016 as he tried to got through Hunter to get the Big Guy to land on his payroll from the VP office.
Freeh was working for PM Razak of Malaysia who was trying to stop the FBI's investigation of 1MDB!

If you followed my thread on Rudy's case, you won't be surprised that Freeh marked all his emails to Hunter (who wasn't his attorney or client) as Attorney Client privileged information to prevent the FBI from reading them. Image

German parliament goes to their high court for permission to violate Swampy auditor's business privacy & release their audits that enabled billions in fraud by bank services company Wirecard. #ButNothingsHappening
ft.com/content/a24fcb…
EY lost a case last year when they tried to prevent their executives from explaining how their audits missed Wirecard stealing billions of dollars.
But they are fighting to protect 'trade secrets', sorry EY it is no secret that auditors rubber stamp corrupt corporate accounting.
EY has been trying to waterdown or prevent the publication of evidence that show they enabled this fraud. It isn't just EY, it's the entire industry.

It's hard to get clients if you have a reputation for catching your clients involved in fraud!

As I've discussed before, Rudy's lawyers show that the DOJ warrants on Rudy's are meant to gather evidence against his targets & set a precedent that it is admissible evidence when conducing surveillance on the President's lawyer.
storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
This is Rudy's response to the DOJ filing asking for the court to appoint a Special Master to filter information to protect attorney-client privileged info before investigators & prosecutors see it.
DOJ's filing said there was no pending criminal case against Rudy!
But DOJ & FBI have already had this information for 2 years, so they already know all of this, but it might not be admissible in a prosecution.

So this motion gives the court the chance to rule that the evidence was legally obtained to prosecute Rudy's targets!

Swiss insurance company busted for helping US taxpayers hid $1.4B in assets from the IRS. Money was assets hidden in Swiss banks that was going to be exposed by banks complying with US tax evasion laws.
#ButNothingsHappening
They have reached a defered prosecution agreement in exchange with handing over the #receipts for 1600 insurance policies they marketed to help criminals evade taxes.
Policies were to take dirty cash & hold it until the statute of limitations ran out on tax evasion then cash it!
They will pay a $77M penalty & provide the evidence against all of the customers who evaded taxes. The DPA requires them to continue cooperating against the customers they were flipped against!
