Another swampy state employees pension fund was making investments in shady companies...
Oregon pension fund officials approved their investment firm buy NSO Group spyware company that has been used around the world to spy on people & abuse human rights.
So taxpayer dollars poured into state employee pension funds were supporting both Francisco Partners who owned NSO first & then Novalpina who bought them...
Bad publicity about spying & human rights violations were just "noise" when there were Swampy deals to be made....
I wonder if state investment funds were being guided to funds & companies that did dirty deeds for the Swampy politicians who approved the deals?
There are lots of similar cases in other states like Pennsylvania, where teachers' pension funds were invested in a shell company for Glencore doing swampy oil deals with Kurdish politicians.
And Republican Swamp creature Elliott Broidy, who Trump's DOJ convicted for a failed plot to bribe Trump on behalf of President Xi of China, was involved in orrupt pension fund deals in NY state & California.

How long before people realize that Trump sets up cases to get precedents set in court?
Once the exact parameters & processes for using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 are confirmed deporting Tren de Aragua, how long does Trump wait to use it on China's 1000 Talents spy program?
It would be very easy to prove in court by the precedents set at this time that the 1000 Talents program is a predatory incursion against the United States by the Chinese government.
Let's look at how President Trump tricked Putin into a far greater Russian defeat in Ukraine!
Trump learned the Rope-A-Dope from his friend Mohammed Ali!
Please excuse my poor 'artwork' replacing Ali & Fraser with Trump & Putin!
#ButNothingsHappening
Rope-a-dope is a boxing technique in which one contender leans against the ropes of the ring & draws non-injuring offensive punches, letting the opponent tire themself out. This gives the former the opportunity then to execute devastating offensive punches to help them win.
So while Putin & his fake news brag about Russia having Ukraine on the ropes, he is wasting what little is left of Russia's military, economy, & manpower to make ineffective attacks on wheat fields in the middle of nowhere.
While Ukraine's counterpunches are crushing Russia.
