Interesting, the raid on Rep. Cuellar is not just related to domestic Swamp activity. But to crooks for Azerbaijan & US businessmen who must be the go betweens.
Cuellar was the Chair of the House Azerbaijan Caucus!
Hillary's oppo research man Cody Shearer tried to claim that Trump took a $10M bribe in Baku & became the middleman who arranged trips by members of Congress to meet oligarchs in Azerbaijan!
This was the dossier passed by Blumenthal/ Winer/Steele to FBI
The anti-money laundering team that Comey created at HSBC detected corruption & money laundering between Azerbaijani officials & French oil company Total.
Led to raids on the commodity traders who served as the middleman.
The commodity trader got caught paying off Bank of China with money it owed to HSBC & forging documents.
It borrowed money from HSBC to buy Azeri oil, then paid Bank of China the money from the oil instead of paying back HSBC...
The Azerbaijan officials also were bribing Hungarian officials & a Belgian Senator to the EU Parliament...
You can see why Azerbaijan was such an important hub between Iran & Russia. It is literally between them.
But they had lots of donors flying members of Congress to Baku to educate them about oil & other things...
Baku was such a problem for global corruption, money laundering, sanctions violations & Iranian WMD proliferation networks.
That the FBI had to send their very best undercover asset to Baku to identify the networks for them!
@OCCRP For the past 5 years, the European banks from Danske Bank to Swedbank & Deutsche Bank have been getting rolled & flipped for laundering this money from Azerbaijan & through Russian & Ukrainian oligarchs & politicians.
One of the people involved in illegally funding these Congressional Junkets was arrested in 2018 to face DOJ charges.
Perjury to hide that extractive industry money was behind giving $100s of thousands in gifts to 9 members of Congress & 32 staffers.
This even ties in to the disappearance & death of former FBI agent Bob Levinson. CIA's Directorate of Intel, illegally sent Bob to investigate Iranian money laundering because they did not trust the information CIA's Directorate of Operations was providing
Rep. Cueller made 'historic' partnerships between Texas A&M & Azerbaijan as part of his deals...
Higher Ed Swamp connected to the Political Swamp connected to the Oligarch Swamp connected to the Oil Swamp. Can't wait to see the indictments

Wait until you figure out it was Swampy Republicans, not Democrats, who pushed the false claims about Trump raping one of Epstein's victims because she reminded him of his teenage daughter.
I am going to break down the OIG report on FBI SAC of NYC Counterintelligence section & link it to other cases including #Spygate & the #RussiaHoax.
If you don't know yet, Trump & others were helping FBI hunt a Russian mole in FBI, Hillary told you a hoax. oig.justice.gov/sites/default/…
This investigation began by at least 2010, when someone within FBI tipped the Russians off that FBI was tracking Russian illegal agents working in the US.
Why warn the Russians? The FBI & Russian spies were getting close to the Clintons & DNC fundraising.
While none of this is covered in the report, the FBI mole hunters at FBI started investigating to identify the new Russian spies being sent to NYC. But to find the mole, you need an asset borrowed from another agency that the FBI agents don't know.
Male-1 playing a consultant.
Ukraine became defenseless. Then Clinton rigged the 1996 Russian election to ensure Yeltsin won. Later, Clinton & Blair would rig the 2000 election for Putin. Then Blair would rig the 2004 election for Putin.
That Swampy “WE” was at risk of being exposed by money laundering investigations tracking the billion dollars a day flying from NYC to Moscow.
Yeltsin & Clinton agree to have FBI Dir Freeh protect Gore & Putin’s 2000 election campaigns by shutting it down.
If you are just learning about the Swamp creature named Leonard Leo & his control of ‘conservative’ judges who work for Fortune 500 multinational corporations instead of the American people; now is your chance to catch up.
#ButNothingsHappening
Leo’s friends then use your fake news to tell you that you should blindly support judicial rulings disguised as protecting the Constitution. When in reality, they are protecting Swampy relationships between corrupt companies & the politicians they own.
Why does your fake news want MAGA to support judges controlled by ’sleazeball’ Leonard Leo?
Because they believe that it’s very important that you support the judges who work for the Swamp.
How do they control them? Consulting fees, gifts & trips.
Gone are the days of German leaders from East Germany, weakening NATO by not spending their agreed upon defense budget.
Gone are the days fo German politicians buying energy from Russia & taking Swampy deals & well paid seats on Russian company boards.
Credit Suisse pleads guilty & flips for helping 475 US account holders hide billions from the IRS in off-shore accounts.
They have also signed a deferred prosecution agreement for other crimes & agreed to cooperate!
Crimes from 2010-2021!
#ButNothingsHappening
Credit Suisse will pay $510M in fines & penalties in addition to the guilty plea.
After corrupt bankers collapsed Credit Suisse, UBS bought them & are now also forced to comply with the cooperation agreement!
It's a 2 for 1 special!
The reason for the requirement to plead guilty is likely because when they committed these crimes, they were under a Deferred Prosecution Agreement signed in 2014 that required their cooperation.
They didn't think DOJ would hold them to it!
