Swampy public utility commissions, taking Swamp bribes along with the Swampy politicians who appoint them, all for Swampy companies that get to rob from the citizens for pennies on the dollar...
So do you think the Swamp drafted the laws for these nonprofit corporations to allow the concealment of bribes to politicians through corporate shell companies registered as 501)c)(4)s?
It was a feature, not a bug.
Ht @nimkef
@nimkef This is how you drain the Swamp. You cut off the sources & flows of corrupt money into the Swamp. You don't spearfish individual Swamp creatures. You dam the rivers & pick them up out of the mud when it dries out.
FirstEnergy admitting this, gave every FBI agent probable cause...
Untold affidavits will be sworn stating "...probable cause based upon information & belief that 501(c)(4)s are a mechanism used to conceal payments to govt. officials for the purpose of influencing the legislative process..."
The Swamp is not sleeping well tonight!
FirstEnergy flipped against the guys who made corrupt deals with Lex Wexner, the guy who signed over power of attorney to Epstein.
@Academy911 The Swamp creatures spent years telling everyone they were shaking down for bribes taht the 501(c)(4)s were secret & could never be exposed, but FBI had them under surveillance while they did it! wtol.com/article/news/s…
@Academy911 Clark decided (or someone else decided?) to commit suicide before going to trial.
But the FBI had the reciepts, including using suspected undercover FBI agents posing as sports betting clients to 'lobby' for them.
@Academy911 Want to guess how the FBI got probable cause to go after FirstEnergy's lobbyists?
I bet their failed efforts to get a bailout from the Trump Admin were a likely source of information...
The Swamp really believed Trump & the FBI weren't on the same team! energyandpolicy.org/firstenergy-lo…
The Swamp's top earning lobbying firm unsuccessfully lobbied the Trump team for a bail out. A scheme Trump 'claimed' to support, but which promptly died after the sting had what it needed...
Isn't it a conflict of interest to be both the lobbyist & legal counsel for this?
We may have to look at every effort to use the Defense Production Act as a sting against the Swampy lobbyists.
Another case of Trump saying something in public, but then not going along with official actions to accomplish it. Have to convince the lobbyists they are winning!
The RNC Finance Committee...
Wonder when they will realize letting Trump's FBI asset fixer @MichaelCohen212 join that team was a mistake of epic proportions?
🤣😂🤣😂
@MichaelCohen212 Trump sent it to Energy Secretary Rick Perry, wonder if he was part of or a target of, the sting...
Looks like they lobbied, Pence & Congress too.
Had some Swampy success with Congress apparently...
@MichaelCohen212 Interesting, former Speaker Householder cut a deal to keep Les Wexner on the board at OSU & then OSU is sending letters to the Feds to help FirstEnergy, while FirstEnergy is paying Householder through his 501(c)(4)...
@MichaelCohen212 Looks like 20 Congressional Swamp members got on the FirstEnergy bail out bandwagon.
Want to bet you don't recognize most of the names? Why, because most of the real Swamp creatures aren't the names everyone knows...
Except this time, there are a few names you will recognize but the only headliner is Mitch McConnell.
But 1 MAGA favorite, Jim Jordan is on board too...
FirstEnergy also brough in the Dewey Square Group a PR & Fake News outfit to engineer support for this bailout.
They use the term "grassroots mobilization" to describe how they dupe people with fake news to take sides on a political issue to favor their corporate clients.
DSG “has been paid by General Motors Corp., the American Insurance Association, AT&T Corp., Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association and Microsoft, among others, to drum up support from voters for legislation the companies advocate.”
Drum up support, by paying for Cletuses...
It looks like they may have even pushed out the former Speaker Cliff Rosenberger with an alleged FBI investigation, let a real Swamp creature in Householder take the job with a narrow majority in a bipartisan Swamp vote.
But Householder played hard to get after the resignation, leaving the entire Ohio house in disarray until he came forward to take the Swampy reins.
Wonder if it drove up his price...
Now I have no clue if Rosenberger is guilty or not, he was investigated for dealins with some of the pay day loans lobbyists that others have been indicted for...
Was he set up & FBI didn't have anything to charge him with? Or did he flip real early...
This covers some history on Householder & his very unusual election as Ohio Speaker of the House with an equal number of Democratic & Republican votes.
The Swamp is the most bipartisan thing in America!
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?
For those who don't understand the law in this case, Congress has authorized the Attorney General to specially appoint lawyers & conduct legal proceedings at the same level as US Attorneys without confirmation. It's specifically authorized.
While Canon ignores Section 515, it specifically authorizes AGs to appoint special attorneys to prosecute criminal cases & run grand juries same as a US Attorney can.
She claims the law does not authorize the AG to appoint a special counsel with the authority of a US Attorney.
Julian Assange flying to the North Marianas to plead guilty to espionage.
Gets a 62 month prison sentence, but will be released with time served for his 5 years in British prison.
The choice of the Northern Marianas Islands is unusual.
That US territory is a hub for Chinese money laundering to the US & to US politicians. Wonder if he will testify to a US grand jury while he is there? Or has he already done so by Zoom?
The Chinese have been buying off Swampy politicians on Pacific islands that are US territories to infiltrate them to get into the US financial system.
The Northern Marianas, the Solomons, & many others...
Beny Steinmetz connects to so much corruption around the world!
Steinmetz was arrested 3 years ago shortlay after FBI seized Hunter & Rudy's electronic devices including communications with his lawyer former FBI Director Louis Freeh.
#ButNothingsHappening
On behalf of Steinmetz & other clients, Freeh tried to gain access to Trump & Biden through Guiliani & Hunter. Freeh marked all his emails as Attorney Client privileged in an effort to protect them. DOJ needed filter teams or a special master to read them.
Exclusive: The case of the Michael Cohen condo just got a whole lot more interesting!
I found an online report on the resident. It isn't an embassy or a diplomat.
It appears to be a couple who are financial reporters for CNBC & Bloomberg?
It was well publicized that Michael Cohen's condo at 111 Murray Street is 19West or 19W.
A condo that he rented on 11/27/18 prior to pleading guilty in SDNY on 11/29/18.
The website identifies as a resident of 19W Sara A Eisen, 39 formerly of Cincinatti, OH.
It appears to be Sara A. Eisen the co-host of CNBC's Squakbox. One of her associates listed on the website is her husband Matthew Levine. usphonebook.com/address/111-mu…
The majority of Daszak's funds came from DOD, but the previous investigations focused on Daszak taking money from NIH that prohibited him from conducting GoF work.
Work he did in Wuhan anyway & concealed it from NIH.
Daszak claimed he 'accidentally' conducted GoF work in Wuhan in 2018-2019. But he concealed this from NIH until 2021 even though his grants required immediate reporting of 'accidental' GoF results.
