FirstEnergy has flipped on the Swamp creatures that the firm bribed!

#ButNothingsHappening
Looks like the #Receipts are going to lead to DeWine.
Wonder if the others lead to Kasich & his band of never Trumpers...
Of course it was pretty easy to see this coming if you understand how they are draining the Swamp...
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.
Another of the people FirstEnergy flipped on.

Matt Borges, an associate of John Kasich, who Kasich picked to head the Ohio Republican Party & lead the Never Trumpers.

And it's not just Ohio, this is happening all over the country. Yet media is ignoring what it means.

Including Illinois, where Commonwealth Edison reached a similar deal for bribing former Illinois Speaker of the House Madigan & others.

@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… Image
@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. Image
@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? ImageImage
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! Image
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?

🤣😂🤣😂 Image
@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... Image
@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)... Image
@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... ImageImageImage
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... ImageImageImageImage
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. ImageImage
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. Image
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... Image
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...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliff_Ros…
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!

Goodnight all!

If you haven't figured out why the Cuellar indictment is a big deal. This case has opened up money laundering & corruption of US politicians for 2 major locations. The drug cartels of Mexico & the oil deals of the Former Soviet Republics.
They bought every Swamp creature in DC!
Multiple former speakers of the House, the Podest Group & other lobbyists.
Likely the Azeris will now be motivated to give up the #receipts on the people bought by the Armenians too!
The offers that Rep Cuellar accepted & was indicted for, those offers were extended all of Washington DC by the same people who bought Cuellar.

FBI & DOJ are conducting a criminal investigation of Swampy consulting firm McKinsey & Company for its consulting of opioid manufacturers that created the epidemic in the US!
Also looking at Obstruction of Justice charges!
#ButNothingsHappening businessinsider.com/mckinsey-under…
If you are not aware, McKinsey helped Purdue Pharma & other opioid manufacturers boost sales of their drugs. Causing the Opioid Epidemic that has cost hundreds of thousands of lives in the US.
Image
Image
One of their former clients included details of subpoenas they recieved for information on McKinsey in their SEC filings 3 years ago. SO this investigations has been running in stealth mode for more than 3 years.

They stopped doing this consulting in 2019 as it became a risk. Image

So if this meeting & publishing positive stories about Donald Trump was illegally rigging the 2016 election,
what about the 65 reporters who had similar meetings & arrangements with the Clinton Campaign in 2016?

theintercept.com/2016/10/09/exc…
It was a premeditated effort to control friendly media to publish positive stories about Mrs. Clinton & negative stores about her opponents.

Wonder if this line of questioning is making a lot of reporters & Clinton allies very nervous.
documentcloud.org/documents/3125…


Image
Image
Image
The Clinton Campaign even had a list of media that would tell the story that Hillary wanted told...

They also had a list of pundits who would publish positive stories about Hillary & negative stories about her opponents.

Good, the Swamp hasn't been able to help these Swamp creatures who tried to frame Trump for Russian Collusion.

#ButNothingsHappening
If you haven't been following the efforts of FauxMAGA Republicans to frame Trump in 2016 & 2017, it's time to catch up...
Benton was also willing to sell out Trump to the Chinese, but in that case he was duped by British reporters into having that conversation on video.

This looks connected to so many Swamps! I’ll have to dig in tomorrow!

Former Soviet Republics & Israel connections.
Money laundering for cartels & offering Surface to Air missiles to undercover FBI agents.
#ButNothingsHappening
He’s on the board of the Georgia Israeli Chamber of Commerce…
Yohanan Eligoola looks to have some connections Swampier than drug cartels….

Image
Image
Image
The Yohanan Eigoola indictment is available here.
Seems Eigoola offered kamikazi drones, RPGs, & anti-tank weapons in addition to the SAMs.

He provided a spreadsheet of his available weapons inventory to Undercover FBI Employee-1 (UC-1)!

Wait until they figure out that Microsoft's 3rd party vendor licensing programs are designed to hide bribery & give them plausible deniability whenever their vendors get caught.
Business, government, educational software licenses are rife with kickbacks.
#ButNothingsHappening
Essentially the scheme works by Microsoft giving a vendor permission to provide the software licenses at a discount. The vendor then charges the customer full price, & the discounted amount is then used to pay bribes to purchasing authorities.
Microsoft enabled these schemes in a large number of countries & they have been facing prosecutions for at least 10 years for it.
